CHIANTI, ITALY - Welcome to the small village of Panzano in Chianti, in Tuscany, Italy, home to Officina della Bistecca where the king of Italian beef Dario Cecchini serves all you can eat steak - Let’s go try it out!

Dario Cecchini - Officina della Bistecca

We drove to Officina della Bistecca from Florence, and it was about an hour to get there, a very pleasant drive through the mountains and vineyards of Chianti. Upon arriving you can tell there’s something special about Officina della Bistecca. Dario Cecchini has an amazing story, he grew up in a family of generations of butchers. But he didn’t want to be a butcher, he wanted to be a veterinarian.
But as he was studying, his Father was about to pass, and he had a choice to take over the family butchery. He decided to embrace it, and chose that one of the best ways to honor an animal is at the table with respect. From then on he dedicated his life to serving all parts of beef, and serving them at his upstairs restaurant called Officina della Bistecca.
You don’t totally know what you’ll be getting, but guaranteed it will be an all you can eat buffet of steak - from many cuts and pieces. Another thing that Darrio emphasizes is that the best way to eat beef is with family and so the restaurant is all one big table in the grill room - where you’ll make friends with whoever else is eating there.
The beef was fantastic and the experience and hospitality was what made it even better.

I met Mr. Dario on our honeymoon in Panzano 15 years back. He still seems to carry the same charm as he did when he offered me and my wife a glass of Chianti years back. Mark, been a fan and will say your videos are inspiring. Thank you.
That’s pretty cool…would love to make a trip way over there
I was crying at the end when Dario gave Mark his apron. What an amazing man you are Dario.
Jesus....
I cried too....happy tears
WhenDario was sharing his beautiful artwork and reason for being, tears came to my eyes. His passion shines through his face and words, God Bless him.❤❤❤
That speech before entering the dining room was moving. Such an artisan and master of his craft. ❤
I skipped it.
Was inspirational! just couldn't eat any of it unfortunately.
He definitely has a deep respect for his craft.
You have to have the appreciation for your art to reach the pinnacle of it.
When the butcher explained his story brought tears to our eyes. True passion for what he does.
It did. Lol. Quite historical and touching.
Hearing him speak about his work and the respect for the animals he serves was so touching. You can tell it touches his heart.
Yes! A meal @ Dario's has been on my bucket list since I saw him on Chef's Table. I may never get there, but it's a good dream to have.
Bro, is that before or after he cuts their neck
@@JamesDio-yu5yd That’s your perspective! You can’t force entire world into something you want.Humans have evolved from hunting and eating animals. He has a legacy and he is proud of his craft. Every culture has a way of life, it’s important for them.
@@baddestass2332 bro I'm a meat eater too but it piss's me off when we justify us killing the animals by saying we love them first what the f**k
@@JamesDio-yu5yd what? You hate and want to torture the animals you are going to eat?
Dario is one of the most real people you'll ever meet in your life. He has a deep respect for his craft.
Mark, I’ve been watching your channel from day one, and although I rarely comment I just had to today as this video was the ONLY video that has made me cry! Not in a sad way but a compassionate and touching way!
Dario moved me compassion for the animals to raise them in the best environment possible, which was n turn provides the best quality of protein for humans. And his love and ownership of his purpose in life is amazing.
Thank you for sharing your platform to gift us with this segment.
Thats exactly what happend to me, that video was truly beautiful everything from the speech at the beginning to the gift of the apron. I believe that Dario has found his way in life and absolutely enjoys it, which you can see in the way he runs the restaurant and interacts with his guests. And on the funny side....I have never seen Mark laugh as much as in this video. The italien charm seems to be contagious or maybe it was the chianti ....we will never know ;-)
Chef Dario & his restaurant is atronomical!! The quality of the beef is exquisite!! The hospitality & service is phenomenal!! What a episode!! Chefs like Dario makes me feel like humanity is overall amazing!! Cheers to Mark, Mr. Taster & guest!! Salud!! 🥩🍷
That Part!!!!!
i was there in 2016 and felt it was overrated. Peter Luger and keens in NYC are waaay better meat places.
I wish my mom was alive to see these Italian episodes. She was Italian and very proud of her heritage, she would have enjoyed this.
And that steak look amazing. ❤🥩😋
He was the sweetest butcher I’ve ever seen! This video touched my heart! Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience Mark!
He was the sweetest butcher .this video touching my heart
Wow what a special moment at the end when Dario gave you his apron and signed it for you. Wow what an Honor man. That man seems so Genuine.
People like him who loves what he does and does it with happiness and Love every single day like that is a rare rare gift to the world and he is awesome. 🥩 😎👍🏽
Dario was such a joyful and loving human being. What a wonderful time he gave you Mark and everyone else that was there. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video!
I live in Atlanta but have been to Dario’s three times to eat, and four or five times in the morning just to buy meat. Dario is naturally an outgoing, enthusiastic, friendly, and passionate man. He makes the simple act of buying sausage, beef, or his Tuscan Butter (flavored lard) an absolute joy! In response to other comments, so what if his message is the same as it was in 2007? I take that as a measure of his consistency, honesty, sincerity, and unchanging heartfelt passion.
One thing to note about this video: there is a lot of loud chatter and laughter in the background. That’s the way things have been whenever I have been there. Not commented upon in the video is the fact that most of the people sitting at those tables were probably complete strangers, often from different parts of the world, when they arrived. However, because of the convivial atmosphere created by Dario and his staff, everyone leaves as if they are close friends, even if they don’t share a common language. Yes, there are a few places in Tuscany where you can get a great steak at a lower price. However, you’re not going to have the electric, fun, convivial atmosphere that you’ll experience at Dario’s steak place. You also won’t get five other beef courses in addition to two primal cut steak courses, olive oil cake (delicious!), and unpretentious but perfect local Chianti included in the price. I say “bah humbug” to the “bah humbuggers” who have a gripe with Dario!
Guy was drunk and needed to be the center of attention. Sve your preaching
I want to go....take me on a trip there? 🤪
Mark has to be the most likeable and enthusiastic foodie on the Internet.. when have you ever seen him not smiling? Some people just get lucky onbtheir channels, but Mark really works hard, travels many many miles, and produces amazing content. Brilliant!! Thanks Mark for making so many people happy!
When you love what you do you never work a day in your life
he certainly works a lot when it comes to "looking" positive, smiley and over the top reactions, when he first started out, he didn't do that, that's why he deleted those early videos, to seem authentic when he in fact isn't.
We will always support you, Mark. Keep working hard.
The absolute respect between this butcher and the animal is truly one of a kind and inspirational...what a speech...im at a loss for words...simply...amazing
mark is just the happiest person and so positive i love it.
He looked DRUNK
It's an act. He use to have videos of him when he first started youtube.
He never smiled and his reactions were never over the top, like they are now.
It looks like he's taken them down. Wouldn't want any proof that he's acting for the camera.
stop talking.@@potusthepotatooftheuniteds1034
This Italian series has been so enjoyable to watch so far, and I imagine it getting better and better. I love all your food series’, but this Italian one seems so relaxed, so fun, so entertaining… perhaps the addition of our two beloved foodie friends, perhaps just Mark being in his element around a people who live and die for good food. I have been loving this Italian food series soooo much… I’m going to be so shattered when it ends lol
I’ve been enjoying your videos for years, and this was the first one that touched me so much that I cried. He was absolutely a gem. Thank you for sharing your time with us. It was more than just the food clearly would’ve been an amazing experience.
What a speech by the passionate owner.(Dario) the energy in the restaurant is amazing
Mark what a great video. Everyone is so friendly! The whole trip would be worth it to just to see Dario. His smile, kindness and hospitality was everything. Not to leave out the other beautiful people there. Thank you for sharing this ❤❤
The way he explained that picture is so heartwarming 😢got me emotional! More views for this video and want to thank Mark for filming this!
I was there twice. It is unbelievably good. The pure taste of meat, just slightly salted and a few drops of olive oil. A feast i had never before.
Btw : also very reasonably priced with 50 € for the full menu.
I agree with Mark, what a Happy man, Mr. Dario! He made my heart so full of joy and happiness! God Bless you! Thank you Mark for sharing these amazing videos!
The part where Mr Dario is describing the painting clearly shows he’s passion ..and brought tears to my eyes watching him describing/explaining it..thank you for showing it MARK :-)❤
Bella Italia, sempre nel mio cuore! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Thank you Mark for showing once again the beauty of this region and its people, which shows in the quality of their food!
who else is sick of mr taster and jeff merrihue. mr taster just shows up with a funny haircut and glasses and im supposed to be entertainined over and over?
🤡🍗🍇🥞🍖@@89. I think he might be insane, not one normal moment, acting like a massively overweight 5 year old
the guys a clown@@89.
Dont watch then..wont have ypu polluting Mark's comments eith negativity.
Stay with love and upliftment amd ypu will go far in life
One restaurant videos aren’t always my favourites, but honestly this one was a joy from start to finish. Dario Cecchini’s energy was so contagious! Also I love Mr. Taster’s glasses, absolutely iconic!
Mark this video is unremarkable
The respect and love Dario has for the animal is divine.He is a beautiful person!!! For his treasure of the beef and people. This video is unremarkable !!! The fun and enjoyment you had from start to finish is awesome. It is wonderful to see Jeffrey and Mr Taster with you!! This has to be one of my favorites.Thank you!!💕😋🙂🥂
did you just remark that it is unremarkable?
Probably a bot.
@@m.flanagan6532do you forget how bad the voice to text/"autocorrect" on TH-cam is? 😅😉
No wonder Italy has been my favorite country. The food, the people, the natural beauty!
Lol don't be fooled by a a few videos & a few people showed in a video . The reality can be shocking sometimes.
@@NEPALESE.AMERICAN in life you nerd to look the positive , evry ware you have good end bad end italy rich in good side
@@NEPALESE.AMERICAN in fact i lived years in India and Nepal.....never seen people full of hate like in those countries.
@@NEPALESE.AMERICANevery country has negative and positive things. for sure my country has the best food, culture, arts,technology,specialists,products,in the world. unfortunately the politics is the very bad side of italy
@@NEPALESE.AMERICANNope it's the truth, that's why it's top 5 in tourist and has been for centuries, plus has the #1 history and probably romanticized, written and talked about by famous writers than any other country.
What an incredible time you shared to us. So emotional, amazing butcher and all the friendship we can feel. Stay as you are Mark Wiens, always a pleasure to feel the happiness you have eating, happy new year ❤
Copy that. Unusually heartwarming video.
Hey Mark. I have to say it is great to see you drinking wine in Europe, with and without your food. Videos seem to be even more relaxed and the production is superb.
This episode will be the first added to my favorites. Absolutely love this one. Amazing. Would love to meet Dario one day. Wow. Congrats on the apron too!!!
Amazing video Mark thank you! We appreciate you your friends and family!
That was beautiful! It warmed my heart to see Mr taster again. Years of friendship in the making. All the laughs with such an amazing host. Awesome video!
Another legend that has been under the radar. Almost 70, I hope he gets showered with love. I realized in the 90's that people would eventually be immortalized on the internet. Of course creators are now part of that, but this is what I really suspected would happen. The reason Mark makes great content is because he scours the earth to expose them at a high level. He's not the first, nor the last, but it's a great journey.
I’ve never wanted to go to Italy. Thanks to your video I now want to. The beef adventure is a highlight but the kindness and welcoming attitude of the folks there makes it even more inviting. Thank you Mark. 🙏🏽
Why you never wanted to go to Italy?
The quality of your videos always top notch and always giving us addresses of these places serving beautiful food. Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Beautiful country with fantastic people and gorgeous steaks. Fair travels, Mark!
Brava! Buona traduzione! This was a perfect interpretation into English! What a beautiful heartfelt butcher speech! Hey Mark, your storytelling has come a long way. It looks like something out of the Travel Channel these days! 👏👏👏👏
I'm smiling during the whole video. What a heartwarming place! I hope I get to go there someday.
One of your best videos ever Mark! Keep staying in Italy!
That is a very beautiful video to watch. I missed my days in Italy. I regret not fully experiencing Italy in those 2 years but I will definetely come back. Thank you, Mark!
What a Beautiful Video!🤩 Bistecca alla Fiorentina with 🍷Vino Chianti it's one's of "The Top Menu" in Italia, Chianti/ Firenze! Compliments, Mark Wiens!🙋🏼♀️🤝💐
So much respect for you, Mark!
There’s tons of food bloggers, but the experience you provide through your videos, feels like I’m there with you having it, living it.
Keep eating! ❤
Greatest Gift Ever, Such a heart-warming guy to meet, thankyou for another foodie adventure heaven :)
Enjoying this video, the laughter, chat, and delicious food in Italy! Wow that steak bone look as big as a tennis racket!
Incredible once again Mark. Off the scale brilliance. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Mark's videos are always a joy to watch!
Dario is a gastronomy legend.
This is the most happy restaurant I've ever seen! Would definitely enjoy a meal here 😋
Another great video Mark! I find my self watching atleast 4 hours of your channel daily! Keep up the great videos.
So nice to see you so happy with friends and with steaks, Mark...
Wow🙌🏽 another fantastic video ..delicious Italian food👌🏽
Dario is so sweet!!! What a feast! I loved this video! 💖
Mark. What an amazing experience with the legend that Dario is. I lived in Napoli for 2 years and traveled to all parts of Italy.....a very special country. But I am envious of your time with Dario- congrats! Love your videos. Mark in SC
What a great scene in the dining room. Nice way to experience the culture, very heart-warming. Dario is such a character. He loves what he does, and it shows. The offering at the end was emotional. A Top 5 video.
Happy to say his cooking and beef steak I’ve had quite a few times, everybody knows Dario in Tuscany, the guy is a legend, plus as you witnessed a character, he’s like that all the time, not because Mark Weins was eating at his place. Bravo Dario 👌
This is not just an offering of food but this is an offering of love ❤
Again, phenomenal little window into a real Italian experience! Hats off to your production on this one as well as your entire Italy series so far! Makes me feel at home and hope to see more!
I've never before wanted to go somewhere more! Thanks, Mark!
Dario is a legend, been there a few times and every time it’s a feast and the beef is out of this world. Best steak on the planet!
is it better than japanese Wagyu?
@@bigstrawberry4552 no way.
@@bigstrawberry4552 that depends, it’s hard to compare. I love both in their own way, but the Chianina beef in Tuscany, I prefer it over Kobe or Miyazaki wagyu beef in Japan. Wagyu is of course superb, but one can only consume a small quantity as it is so rich and fatty. But a Florentine (Chianina) steak? Anytime!
@@EGO0808 ok so if you compare it to Australian wagyu, which people consider to have better balance between fat and meat than japanese wagyu?
Texas.
So amazing steaks, you always bring amazing food in the world to viewers
Great video as always Mark 🎥
I really love the behavior of the restaurant owner. So Warm and Friendly...
Love Mr.Taster, Do more videos with him 😍🤌🤌🤌🤌
❤❤❤
IT IS STILL RAWWWWW
You’re still raw lol😂
Mark, this on of those videos to remember. Dario such a wonderful gentlemen including his staff. I really enjoy this video, definetely one of my favorites so far. Mark keep travelling the world for the ones who can't and showing us the love for food and different cultures. Love you Mark. God bless
always good videos but this one of one of my favorite trips you made and experienced.. big meaning behind the culture and food! much respect to him and his shop and you to mark!🫰
Pure awesomeness, those Italian steaks are beautiful and Mark Wiens makes it even more delicious
Mark the steaks look amazing 😍 what a beautiful part of Italy ☺️ Mr taster is humorous I’m glad you 3 guys got together to travel.
i love u so much
❤
Brings tears to my eyes. It's time to live again! Thanks, Mark, and food friends!
I love all your videos Mark and Since I was 12 years old I was watching your videos even though i was living in a village that time we don't had that much electricity because it was a poor village and now I am 19 years old and I still watch your videos when I am free. I love travelling around the world and like always your video helps me more and make me more exited to travel different countries. I want to say thank you for all of your video that u make.
What a nice gift from Dario at the end of the evening. I don't know if you get such memorabilia ooften. But if you do get many you may decorate your house making it kind of a biography of your life or even a museum.
One of my favorite places to eat in Italy! Did you get to try a burger from his food truck nearby? Best burgers I have ever had! I didn’t see the Tuscan white bean soup… they usually serve that too and it was delicious that I remember it more than the meat.
Grazie Mark che fai vedere al mondo le nostre tradizioni!legate a storia e ancora nella era dei social,continuiamo a seguire e praticare 12:52 come italiani!nonostante tutto❤❤❤
What a legend!! Grande Dario Cecchini!! the best butcher in the world. I totally admire this guy. The way he cooks and thinks and shares his knowledge and vision of the world and the food. We should all learn something from him. Eventhough he has a legend status in the culinary world, he's still so friendly and humble. Great video. Congrats guys!👌👌👌
Wonderful Italian hospitality. Amore ❤
All-you-can-eat steak is really good, I want to try it👍
This was so enjoyable to view🥰 Dario is so cheerful...😎🌻
I was literally drooling! Thank you
Dario is a true legend. There is a chefs table episode about him on netflix
Who loves this channel as much as I do ?🙌🏻 wow 🤩 another fantastic video 😍
The way Mark explained that picture is so heartwarming. Greetings from Ethiopia.
I want to meet Dario and eat them steaks. Very real, honest, humble man with such a character and good food. I need to go there now. Mark, love your videos and been a fan since you started, keep up the amazing work as always
That steak is still has a pulse
Raw
As should all great steak.
it looks more raw than medium rare to me. they should at least measure the temps.
Maybe next you can invite Mark to your butchery and restaurant. Show him how it should be done.
any good steak place should measure their temps
@SousVideEverything @@jamesstewart4193
Fiorentina steak has to be cooked and eaten this way. This is not a dry aged steak and you don't need to overcook it, it would be ruined
Nice suggestion! 😂 This is no steak tradition as you know it. I'm pretty sure noone in history ever measured the temps of bistecca in and around Florence!! Exceptional beef is only kissed by flames, and that's how its always been enjoyed there.
That lovely smile on Mr. Dario's face! I wish nothing but health and hapiness for him and all his loved ones!
Hello Mark Wiens👏🏽 another awesome video taking us to Italy 🇮🇹 yummy ✅
A little too rare for my liking but those cuts look amazing!!
So faltou a pimenta 🌶 brasileira 🇧🇷
Perché la "pimenta" italiana non va bene? 😂
Hey Mark i following you around 10 years ago this is simply amazing brother greetings from Guanajuato México
I LOVED the way Dario showed you love but what's more is I LOVED the way Mark received it!!! Well done Mark BRAVO!!!!! ❤❤❤
Mark, one tip is always pour wine for your wife before anyone else... love your food shows!!!
One thing you don't know about Mark is that he is not a fan to alcohol or wine. So about pouring wine to wife or not is not into his vocabulary
It must be good but i cant eat my meat that red
What an experience, thanks for bringing us along
I love Dario, what a happy, skilled, awesome guy
I dont care what anyone says those steaks needed at least another minute
As an italian, I have to admit that the Cecchini butchery has become more of a brand than anything else… it’s sad, because if you look up to older videos on youtube, you can see how much passionate and genuine he was… now he’s just saying random phrases that can be captioned on socials or whatsoever… it’s hard to say that but that’s the reality. For sure the quality is impeccable, but you can eat way better in more humble and traditional places in the whole region of Florence. By the way, you have to get clicks, visuals and comments, so the only place to go is Macelleria Cecchini, because it has a worldwide appeal that attracts people from different countries that heard about this place once in their lifetime.
🇮🇹As an Italian , I 100% agree .. Older Italians tell their own stories instead of repeating “ commercialized” quotes..
i think this somewhat happens to food places all over the world once it becomes famous and has to "commercialise" to be able to manage the huge number of visitors.
We have a similar situation in Japan as well. They start from humble beginnings, but as they gain fame, the commercial side starts to take over. I see this a lot in the ramen industry.
What do you mean by "you can eat better in more humble and traditional places in the whole region of Florence"?
What specific place(s) are you talking about?
You essentially become a victim of your own success…
