Steak Fiorentina
Steak fiorentina proves Italian cuisine is more than just pizza and pasta. Its complete name is bistecca alla fiorentina. It typifies the best way to enjoy an Italian meal in Rome by sharing it with the people you love. For your own safety, avoid the temptation to finish off one serving by yourself. You should be aware it weighs anywhere between 1 to 1.5 kilograms per serving.
Then again, it can be tempting to do so. Imagine a thick cut of beef steak freshly grilled to perfection over an open flame. The inside is juicy with just the right touch of red. It does not require any special sauce to appreciate its flavor. Although the dish originated from Tuscany, its fame has made it popular in the capital and throughout the country. |

Girarrosto's no non-sense menu offers a list of traditional - not to mention beloved - Italian dishes such as spaghetti, risotto and grilled meat.
