Bistecca Fiorentina in Siena

If you’re wondering where to eat a bistecca fiorentina in Siena, Pier Pettinaio Restaurant is the answer. Our restaurant is situated just a few steps from Piazza del Campo and has always been a popular choice for those seeking authentic Tuscan dishes.

The bistecca fiorentina isn’t just a steak: it’s a ritual. At Pier Pettinaio, meat is prepared with full respect for tradition, selecting the highest-quality cuts and preparing them so as to enhance their flavour and juiciness.

Cooked rare as tradition dictates, our thick, juicy T-bone steak is perfect for sharing and is best enjoyed with the finest Tuscan red wines. This experience is sure to win over even the most discerning palates.

One of the most frequently asked questions is about the weight of an authentic bistecca fiorentina. At Pier Pettinaio, we offer cuts ranging from 1.1 kg to 1.5 kg. The fiorentina steak must be at least 4 cm thick and retain the ‘T’ bone, which gives it its unique flavour.

It is a perfect dish for two or three people to share, accompanied by traditional Sienese side dishes and a glass of fine Chianti or Brunello.
