Papá Baccus
$$$-$$$$, Italian, Via Veneto
Fodor's Review:
Italo Cipriani takes his meat as seriously as any Tuscan. He uses real Chianina beef, the prized breed from the Val di Chiana traditionally used for the house-specialty, the bistecca alla fiorentina, a thick grilled steak served on the bone and rare in the center. Cipriani brings many ingredients from his hometown on the border of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. Try the sweet and delicate prosciutto from Pratomagno or the ribollita, a traditional bread-based minestrone soup. Tuscans are nicknamed "the bean eaters," and after a taste of the fagioli zolfini (tender white beans), you'll understand why. The welcome is warm, the service excellent. The pale yellow walls and the colorful paintings on them lend a cheery touch to the two dining rooms, and the glass of prosecco (gratis) starts the meal on the right foot.
