Meat restaurant in Florence: Tuscan grill in the heart of the city
A new food experience
Grill Restaurant: The Spark of the Embers, the Seduction of Wine, Falling in Love in Florence.
It's a restaurant, steakhouse, and wine bar in the center.
In the heart of Florence, just steps from the Duomo and the Santa Maria Novella train station, lies Ristorante Alla Griglia, a place where history, tradition, and flavor meet. Housed in a historic 14th-century palazzo, once home to one of Florence's most historic wine merchants and a supplier to the ancient nobility, the restaurant still retains the unique atmosphere that reflects centuries of Tuscan gastronomic culture.
The undisputed star of the cuisine is the Florentine steak, cooked strictly over charcoal. The selection of meats—Chianina, Limousine, Black Angus, and Friesian—comes exclusively from inspected and certified farms, where the animals are raised with full respect for nature, without hormones or antibiotics. Each cut is carefully selected, aged, and matured to ensure an exceptional product, displayed in the open-view meat display case, the restaurant's pride and joy.
You'll also find delicious appetizers, fresh pasta dishes, and a wide variety of grilled main courses, all paying homage to traditional cuisine, showcasing genuine and authentic flavors. All this in a modern and welcoming setting, seating 80, perfect for a relaxed lunch or an unforgettable dinner.
Completing the experience is the exquisite wine list, displayed from the moment you enter like a gallery of oenological treasures. A true sensory journey through Italian excellence, with a special focus on Tuscan masterpieces: from Chianti Classico to Brunello di Montalcino, and the prestigious Super Tuscans. Each label is carefully selected to complement and enhance the flavors of the dishes, creating a perfect balance between cuisine and terroir.
The best meats, the best wines, in the heart of the city that more than any other celebrates art in all its forms.
