So, here I am excited on giving you tips where you can possibly enjoy and indulge in eating and drinking with your family and friends. Let me ask you, do you love steak? Are you fantasizing yourself with your loved ones eating steak together? Well, let us wait first till we free ourselves in this pandemic.
While waiting for the pandemic to end, I would like to nominate a very good restaurant where you can, enjoy your romantic date with your family and loved ones. It is called Regina Bistecca.
Regia Bistecca is located in Via Ricasoli, 14r, Florence, Italy. Just a few steps away from Duomo Florence. This restaurant is known for their *bistecca alla Fiorentina*. Don't worry, I myself experienced several times their food and services. Trust me, your payment is worth it.
My partner and I went to Pissa for a day and we decided to go home to Florence and check some restaurants near our house. We kept on walking, walking, and walking and we got tired till we reached Duomo. Then I said, "look, there is a steak restaurant here, let's give it a try". Then we went. Upon entering, the nice guys welcomed us wholeheartedly and assisted us in our table. When we arrived, trust me, the restaurant is almost full. It was like 8:30 in the evening. We put our shopping bags below our table. The waiter gave us the menu and offered us drinks and water immediately. Honestly, they only have a few choices of menu. But wait, never say never. We ordered and they served my tagliata bistecca and my partner took steak.
When I eat, I eat with my nose, eyes, and tongue. I am very particular in food presentation. If I don't like how the food is being presented, usually I won't eat it. That is me. So, we ate and we enjoyed the romantic scene. Their meat was absolutely good! The meat was tender that a 1-year-old kid can eat it how tender it was. The place is very nice and I highly advise it for couples. It is a romantic and quiet place. After eating, we decided to order dessert. And of course, I took Crème brûlée, also known as burnt cream, Trinity cream, or Crema Catalana is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. Here is a funny story. When the waiter came and took our condiments away from our table, he accidentally tapped my wine glass and spilled on the table and created a mess on our shopping bags. We knew that he didn't do it intentionally so we did not make any dramas. They served the dessert and they were so good. I can tell that the dessert is freshly made.
Let me cut the story shorter, We asked our bill and the manager came and handed out the bill and was very apologetic for what happened. And guess what they did. They removed both our dessert from the bill. we didn't ask for it but as a courtesy, they did it for us. They were so nice. And after couple of weeks, we went back again and as always, there were so very nice and gentle to us. They set our table and gave us a very convenient sits. 5 minutes after we ordered, a guy approached us and apologized to us again for what happened last time. I was shocked cause I, myself can't even recognize his face any longer. But he did. We were so glad that we found this restaurant, They have amazing steak and meat, a very peaceful, relaxing, and energetic, humble, and gentle staff. And again we went home with a beautiful smile.
Regina Bistecca is a must to visit when you are in Florence. It is not expensive, they have amazing staff, a very cool and warming ambiance at the same time. No wonder why they have been operating for more than 140 years. The paintings in the wall are great too! Not to mention their clean toilet with expensive amenities. I am not telling you or describing how it is. Just imagine it! Suspense! hehehe
So, I dare you to try this restaurant ance the quarantine is done. For now, stay at home and enjoy your time reading my blog and spend quality time with your family!
Ciao!!!
