Review for Ristorante La Limonaia Senni Scaparella
La Limonaia is less a restaurant and more a n stage to have aFlorentine steak. This isn't your classic Tuscan trattoria( I have 40 years eating Tuscan steaks) , it's a full experience where every detail is thought through from the bellissima vineyard setting with its pool and garden, to the trays of prime cuts you select yourself, to the Scarperia knives and hot plates that make the meal feel special. . It truly is a kingdom of steak.
We started with a Florentine appetizer, then moved on to a massive Bistecca alla Fiorentina almost a kilo of perfectly grilled Tuscan beef &finished with lemon sorbet, cheesecake, and a mille-feuille dessert that set the bar impossibly high. The desserts are refined, elegant, and some of the best I've had anywhere.
As someone who flies 11 hours from Southern. California to race in Mugello, there's always a special treat knowing that at the end of a long day at the track, I can sit down at La Limonaia for a truly great steak. It's the kind of place that turns a trip into a memory, and for me, it's become part of the rhythm of racing in Tuscany. read more
