It would be a crime to come to Florence without sampling the famous Florentine Steak, a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth T-bone traditionally sourced from the Chianina breed of cattle and grilled over coals. You only need to order one, as there is typically enough for a few people. It is served lightly seasoned and cooked rare (you can ask for medium). At I' Brindellone, a no-frills traditional Tuscan restaurant close to Piazza Carmine, you can munch on salty fried zucchini flowers and drink house wine among photos of the Calcio Fiorentino players (historical football, played every June in Piazza Santa Croce).
