## Your steak, to share

The key detail: the bistecca is priced **per kilo (€5,50 all'etto) with a 1.2 kg minimum** — so you must order at least 1.2 kg (about 2½–3 portions of raw weight, which is plenty for two).

**Minimum bill for a shared bistecca:**
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Steak (1.2 kg × €5,50) | €6,60 |
| Cover charge (€3,00 × 2) | €6,00 |
| 12% service on food (€6,60) | €0,79 |
| **Total** | **≈ €13,40 → about €6,70 each** |

If the 12% service is applied to the whole bill including covers instead: ≈ €14,10 total, or **≈ €7,05 each**.

So realistically, splitting a minimum 1.2 kg bistecca with just the covers and service costs you roughly **€6,70–€7 per person** — the steak itself is only €3,30 each! The cover charge and service are what you'll actually feel.

**One tip:** add the **Fagioli all'uccelletto (€6,00)** — beans in tomato sauce is the classic (and delicious) traditional accompaniment to bistecca alla fiorentina, and for two it's worth the €3,00 each. That would bring the total to about **€9,70 each** (with service), and it's a more typical Florentine meal. Nobody will complain about a big steak for €6,60, but you need to know you *can't* order a smaller one.
