Il Torracchione - BARBERINO DI MUGELLO

Was here eight years ago and without hesitation, at the first opportunity, visited again. Order: typical Florentine steak, medium rare. It is the best that can be made from meat. Florentine chianina steaks are on a par with such gourmet dishes as black angus steak, Azerbaijani lamb entrecote and a few others. Soft and juicy steak has a delicate taste. Staff work with a smile. The score corresponds to the quality. Thanks for the fun.

Arrived with family of 7 for lunch around 13.00. Noboby came for at least 5 mins. Then there was a half hearted welcome. Our waitress was not very warm. My wife ordered the hamburger which was €20 and no taste whatsoever. The rest of the family wasn'nt very happy with there meals too. Our waitress was collecting plates from whoever had finished- rather than waiting for everyone to finish. Overall terrible. Never return.

I've visited this restaurant once every year in August while my wife indulges is her her annual shop for designer rubbish. Today I had roast suckling pig good. My wife had sausage with beans very good. The kids had pasta penne with ragu and another penne with meat and cream sauce both good. The house wine, a rosso from Bolgheri wasn't too bad at all. Price was reasonable mid range for lunch in Tuscany. Service was a bit perfunctory and slow but to be fair. It was really busy and it is in a shopping village! If this restaurant was in a Tuscan hill town, I'd give it 4 stars it was good, solid Tuscan food. Nothing spectacular but sound. The fact that it's in a shopping village made me add the extra star. Surely no one really expects amazing food in a shopping village. The fact that you can get a great meal in Barberino is extraordinary and very welcome. I'm baffled as to how some people have felt fit to give this place a low rating. I'd love to know where they shop the restaurants in their shopping centres must be truly magical. If you're in Barberino Outlet then I recommend you eat here. If you know about food, then like me, you'll find it hard to believe you're eating such good Tuscan food in a shopping village.

We have been visiting this place in a windy day and it was a great refuge! We ate typical Tuscan plates such as wild boar pappardelle and ribollita, and as we are raised up here we can truly say they were special! We have been served by Alessandro and it was a great addition to our experience, smiling and friendly Surely coming back when we will be here again!

Grate service food Unaspectable for a Mall restaurant. Verry good meat! And Christian, one of the best food consierge !
