STORY

At CECCHINI IN CITTÀ, the legendary butcher of Panzano in Chianti, Dario Cecchini, brings his Tuscan family heritage and passion for meat to the heart of Florence. Renowned as the "Dante of meat," Dario is a poet who uses knives instead of pens, transforming every part of the cow into a culinary journey, honouring the animal from head to tail. His philosophy of respect and reverence for tradition is evident in each dish, creating an unforgettable experience that goes beyond than just a meal.

Florence, the birthplace of The Divine Comedy, is a city where art, tradition, and cuisine have intertwined for centuries, making it the perfect location for Dario to share his Divine Meat. This connection led him to open CECCHINI IN CITTÀ within the 25hours Hotel Piazza San Paolino, a space inspired by Dante's masterpiece. Here, Dario offers his traditional menus, that embody the spirit of Tuscan cuisine. From the fiery intensity of a perfectly grilled steak to the rich, slow-cooked perfection of his traditional Chianti-style dishes, every bite is a testament to his philosophy: that great meat is like great art, every bite tells a story and touches the soul.
