Went to StreetFood Dal Porco to try the famed Fiorentina steak cooked on charcoal - Alex the chef (and owner) cooked a delicious medium rare steak that was perfect by itself, I did add some home made chilli oil ( the bottle said Viagra though as a hot substitute). The environment reminded me of a familiar restaurant back in Italy, service was very prompt and we were seated with a great view onto the charcoal open kitchen. We did try a nice eggplant parmigiana as entree ( would like to see a slightly bigger size but taste was good).
