Tuscan food is very different from Roman food. Roman food is urban, spicy and heavy while Tuscan food is hearty and heathly and filled with the flavours of the mountains, of the farmlands and of meat. The best steak comes from Tuscany, and Ciak is one of the best places in Rome to get a steak.
They serve a great polenta covered in wild boar (cingale) and a great ribolitta (tuscan vegtable soup). Still the specialty is meat, be it wild game or a steak.
The crowded resturant has a film set feeling of a classic Italian tratoria, and it is full of movie posters. They even put the classic tuscan wine bottle on the table (a fiasco) for the house wine.
The only complaint is that if you were to buy the same meal in Tuscany it would cost half the price. Still, it really is as good as you find in Tuscany so you save on the travel expenses.
