Macelleria Manetti Simone

Located within the bustling heart of Florence’s Mercato Centrale, Macelleria Manetti Simone is one of the market’s standout gems, and a must-visit for lovers of fine meats and traditional Tuscan butchery. Founded in 1971, this family-run butcher shop has been serving up some of the finest cuts of meat in Florence, earning a loyal following among locals and tourists alike.

Here, the focus is on preserving the classic art of Tuscan butchery, with a deep respect for both the animals and the ingredients that go into each dish. The macelleria’s offerings range from beautifully marbled steaks and fresh cuts of beef to more unique specialties like the famous porchetta and lampredotto—a must-try for the adventurous eater.

The shop is particularly famous for its deboned chicken stuffed with veal and pistachios. The attention to detail, combined with the quality of the ingredients, ensures that everything from Macelleria Manetti Simone is fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
