- He belts out arias and recites Dante while serving the best meat in Tuscany. The eighth-generation butcher Dario Cecchini adores bistecca alla fiorentina, a thick steak of Chianina beef, the largest breed of cattle in the world. He serves it at his restaurant-cum-butcher's in Panazano, Tuscany, where he puts on a rustic show for hungry guests from all over the world, who come to see the famous butcher in action. He believes in using every part of the animal and showcasing regional products and recipes.

I don't know how if I'm saying this right, but Darios is the most chef looking chef I've ever seen
😄
👨🍳
😂
all he's missing is the hat. If he wore the hat he'd probably look too much like a chef.
He is a butcher not a chef
The passion in his voice is truly inspiring! “I am a butcher, not a murderer”, truly shows the care he has for his work and cattle
Well it necessarily requires a lot of work to raise those cattle. They are more like family members than business property in this system of small scale farming.
Tell that to the cow !
@@Nellis202 You've already been told =O
You can't murder animals anyway, murder is reserved for humans.
@@Nellis202he cares about sparing the Grass that these cattle will eat! They are living creatures too!😭
Been there many times, last time in 2012. Nothing like entering the small butchery with the deafening music of AC/DC blasting all around, then the huge chef himself with always the smile on his face serving salame and other cold cuts, the glasses of wine always full. Dining at the long table with guests from all over the world is an experience in itself. Love the man and his team.

He was pumping out Dark Side of the Moon when I went there until a customer requested KISS I was so flabergasted hahaha!
As an italian guy, I can tell you that he's an OG tuscan. His accent is so strong, in nearly every word
He is truly an amazing individual…we have been fortunate to meet him on several occasions…a very friendly and passionate man! Panzano should be on your travel itinerary….one or our favourite places in Italy…hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 Dario!
Grazie mille 🙌
Seriously why doesnt this guy is on the michellen guide?
@@amit7257 I don't want to bash on Dario, he is amazing and his steak looks friecken delicious!!! It is just Michelin stars tend to go to innovation in the culinary world. Again, that does not mean that Dario doesn't have the same quality food or even better than some Michelin restaurants. If you ask me personally as a chef, simplicity makes perfection , especially when you don't want your excellent main ingredients to get lost in a mess of tastes. Some chefs argue thought that you can construct amazingly layered dishes, which is also true. Each to his own i guess.
@The Count you mean French?
I plan to visit in late summer 2023!! ❤
My wife and I from Hong Kong have visited his place three times. We look forward to visiting him again and again.
My wife and I had a fantastic meal at Dario's place in Panzano in Chianti last fall, a truly once in a life time experience.
There is absolute love in this man's heart for what he does. You can see it in his eyes.
I have never seen a butcher shop with such a beautiful stereo system! This guy likes the finer things in life!
No doubt! I was surprised to see such a nice setup.
Yes caught my eye too... looks like Audio Research... not cheap!
Respect to the farmer, butcher, chef and the animal.
As he said, the cattle lived a dignified and well cared fro life
i orderd sometimes steak and other italy stuff on gustini shop but only 59 euro kg from this steak there !!!! why i never orderd !!!!!!!!!!! can u pls explain me !!! im pissed now and hungry :D
we wasted so much meat in the past years and in restaurants why not orderd good meat in internet !!! oh boy im mad now
59 kg price is nice for this sick qualiy
i go to amsterdam when i come back i order 2 days bevor this meat :D than i eat this when i come back :D at home no cap =) =)=)=)=)=)
ggggggggggggggggggg☺☺☺☺☺😍
This man really loves his job and animals. Thank you.
If it takes the rest of my life, I will find a way to get to Tuscany and immerse myself in this glorious feast.
You could do it in three months.
Lol Italy is dirt cheap, is just a month salary away.
Wine ,steak, and a good cigar. God's gift to humanity. I actually visited his restaurant. He said if you need the meat to cook more ,please leave a go to McDonald's.
😂😂😂
This is the most chef any possible in the world, he's the definition of every chef in every film
This man should be head of the world steak lover’s council.
I’m with you on that one 😂
I was they’re two years ago and it was the best steak experience I’ve ever had in my life !!! His energy is like no other !!! I yearn for the day i can be back there.
He's like a real life character from a movie. What an interesting persona.
Or from a cartoon.
@@secretagent4610 Enlighten us about cartoons, what cartoon comes to your mind ?
Dude knows how to live. respect.
Incredibile Dario. Una istituzione della macelleria italiana da decenni.
Una persona dal cuore d’oro.
Sim, chuletines chuchu beleza de mais esse bifão maneiro de lavar na máquina de roupa e batedeira
4 fingers thick ❤
Went from training to be a vet to being a butcher. Amazing.
2:23 this man doesnt "work" a day, this is his passion, you can tell how much he loves it just by the way he talks about the cows
That doesn't mean it isn't work.
He raised a cattle , he a butcher , he a restaurant owner , he is a chef
Had it twice since my xfather in law is living in castillion fiorentino. Bbq it with olive oil which I was putting it on the 1, 2 kilo bisteca with a small brunch of rosemary. Even my xfather said perfectly cooked. My daughter that was nine that time said that the steak was better than chocolate 😊. Now she is 22 and we still remember the taste.
I'm half Greek
“Im a butcher, not a murderer”....*Italian music plays*. I know that was not supposed to be funny but it had me rolling
This man has so much passion for what he does.
An individual with such passion will always be admired, regardless of his trade. And he/ she will likely succeed in life.
I, for one, lack this trait, so I'm left to marvel at these fascinating personalities and their creations.
This steak looks absolutely amazing!
Try to find love in all things even the things you dislike. Always look for the good. Just don't be naive.
Just stop being so stupid, you're an adult. If he were a Janitor no one would give a damn. He wouldn't have any $$$ and people wouldn't respect him no matter how much "passion" he had for the trade.
Compare this to "Salt Bae". This man knows meat...S&P after grilling...no gold leaf or preserved woodland elf squirts. Just 100% beef.
Elf squirts? A bit too much, no?
Lol. And this is said from someone who has never been at one of the Turkish meat masters Restorants for sure. How can you even compare this butcher with a master chef?
@@musti197000 lol? Nusret is a restaurateur, a showman. A master chef? That butcher shows better principals. You can chow down on a $1200 gold leaf encrusted donkey turd...you must be rich instead of having a palate
@@musti197000 italian do it better!
@@musti197000 Nusret is a clown at most.
One of the best meat 🥩 videos I’ve ever seen
I Love this man ❤️ everything about him so much passion and Love for what he does.
I have a lot of respect for this man. The beef marbeling looks superb! I've always been conflicted about eating our beef. Perhaps it is because they die at around 2 years of age. I've cooked chicken in a similar way, I will try this for sure!
What a man! I wish he was my nieghbor
This dude is my new hero. I have to visit him
As a carnivore and meatlover it’s a must to eat at one of his restaurants! He‘s a joy to watch and his staff share the same enthusiasm. And the meat you’ll eat is out of this world good!
Dario's a master marketer but you want to go to Osteria Nandone in Mugello just North of Florence. In the middle of nowhere and you need to call 3 weeks in advance. The best.
@@Markinfilm thanks for the tip! If I’m back in Italy I’ll reserve a table there. Saludos de Costa Rica 🇨🇷
@@themeataroundtheworldshow690 You will not be disappointed. It's another place that has been in the family for 150 years. I'll warn you in advance, there is no menu. When you arrive at your table will have all the antipasti laid out and what they offer depends on the season with everything locally sourced from within a couple of kilometers. For the second course, he does only one thing and it's bistecca all fiorentina which is farmed raised, and grass-fed nearby cooked over a roaring fire right in front of you. Ask to eat where they cook the steaks. Paolo is the best!!!
@@Markinfilm ...I'm getting really hungry now 😋 thanks again! I'll be eating there one day, for sure!
Dario made my day .....may god bless him.
He´s portrayed in the netflix show "chef´s table" (season 6). One of the best episodes!
I’ve seen him entertain friends at his home and it is a spectacle than will drive a vegan to meat-eating . . .
Ah i love this Chef. The passion and fire in his eyes! Grazi Chef. Fantastic
This is how i want to be in life. (im already a butcher) funnily enough 😅
Che SPETTACOLO il Grande DARIO!!!
This man is absolutely correct. No salt and no marinade, just meat and fire 🔥 when is done just a pinch of salt. That’s how you eat beef! I repeat, beef has tons of flavor, no salt, no pepper, just beef and fire, rare and a pinch of salt when is done! 🥩 that’s how you eat beef! 🥩
Such passion ! I need to live like this dude
I had this one in Tuscany.. It was super delicious 👌
So you are haraam meat brother?
@@moeyvahed1276 clown
@@moeyvahed1276 how is this your first and only comment on this channel?
Was introduced to this fella from a book (heat by bill Buford…..amazing read). I’ve wanted to go to Tuscany ever since.
Mr Dario loves high-end audio gears too... :P I could see some Audio Research and YBA amplifiers on the background. Cheerio!
What a cool guy and a great steak to eat with good conversation!
Fantastico!
Carne diem!
4 fingers thick.
Aged beef.
A true steak craftsman.
“Long Live Meat!”
Thanks Algorithm!
Truly an “Artist “!
the place's open every day except for christmas, amazing
Amazing!
I want to cook juicy steak real bad now but I know I'll never get to his level, thanks Dario. I wish I had a fraction of that kind of passion for anything.
He reminds me of those old pictures on food packing where they show a happy chef 😂😂
I like the pride he has in his work. I bet that's a good steak.
I had that in Florence it was so good! But next time went I have a chance to go back to Italy I will defo visit this guy for bisteka!!
This man is celebrating Life
Bravo chef!!
It was either AZ’s food show or AB(RIP) I seen Dario. His passion is 📈👍🏾
Unique personality
Thought he was Hercule Poirot in disguise 😅
Salute!!
Bistecca Fiorentina is the best most famoso in Italia ❤
I totally agreed, good steak should be seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, no basting.
Cool!
Was this guy the king of pizza in another video I watched?
Love the passion and smile
Nope. Pizza is not even a Tuscan dish. LOL
Amazing! Added to the bucket list. Heads to tail - exactly :-)
Delicious !
tooo good
I’m salivating I’m hungry I want to eat this delicious steak 🥩 😋
Respect. I hope I will get the chance to eat there someday.
Good people are awesome to meet
What a cool guy
Simpatico e signore.
He got a Nice Amp in his butcher Shop 2:46
*chefs kiss*
How much of a coincidence that i'm watching this video at christmas😂
The best farmer will give an animal that is going to be slaughtered for food, a life of great days with one bad day. Each of us owes one death and if you can imagine someone making that day as fast and painless as possible, you are thinking of a very good farmer.
I cook a pretty nice steak myself so it would be a quite a life time exlerience to taste something from a master's best work.
Nice
A few years back I spent a few days in Florence. I did notice a lot of restaurants had sandwich boards outside advertising steaks. It somehow didn't dawn on me that steak is a Florentine specialty. Oh well, maybe next time.
It is. Plus soups and cured meats. If you search for Pizza and Spaghetti, down south. LOL
Nice video, impressive cooking. What is the name of his restaurant in Panzano?
Bellissimo
Che Bello esta carne
This guy is a legend
He'll yeah! Florence and Tuscany! Italy is the garden of Europe. Tuscany is the garden of Italy.
Forget the beef.... the guy is a serious audiofile !
I'm disappointed that the crowd didn't lose their shit after that god-tier intro.
👍👍👍👍fantastic
Thanks 🤗
Thank you for not dubbing this THANK YOU
I must meet this man
what a nice man
Cool guy!
Damn that looks amazing I’d eat that entire thing!
Superrrrrr
I emailed him. Nice person.
My hero!
Our type of cooking!
i wish i had a meat temple also...excellent video butcher

The caring shepherd -
