You can't find a restaurant that is nearer the heart of Firenze than 'Regina Bistecca', the brainchild (and product of love) of Simone Arnetoli and his partners. It's located in Via Ricasoli, only a few yards from the apse of the Duomo

Lukas will serve your Martini cold and perfectly mixed in this splendid ambience. The 'Florentine/American bar' is exquisite

The big bisteccas presented at the table, the little card carrying all the information that the customer may want to know before ordering one or the other: type ('Chianina', 'Angus', 'Marchigiana' et al...), weight, cost. It's a very honest way to present this extraordinary meat before cooking it
  Staff is very kind indeed and the bill not unreasonable at all, considering the exceptional setting and the quality of the meat (ask for the 'Sbirulino'...) and wine and bread and Martinis....
