With 48 years of experience, this eighth-generation butcher is recognized for his shop and restaurants in the Tuscan village of Panzano, Italy. Featured on Netflix’s 'Chef’s Table,' Cecchini is known for taking care and responsibility for the animals and using all the cuts of meat, featuring his grandmother’s recipes that he fell in love with as a boy.
Specialty impromptu experience
The Butcher’s Block by Dario, located on Deck 9 of Sun Princess, will come to life as a specialty impromptu experience featuring a large shared, family-style table serving a carnivore’s feast of grilled beef and steak, including Cecchini’s signature cuts.
Special Crown Grill menu
In addition, the cruise line’s signature steak house, Crown Grill, will offer a refined upscale menu designed by Cecchini. It includes bistecca alla Fiorentina, a Florentine steak prepared with the bone, sourced directly from the prestigious Antica Macelleria Cecchini butcher shop in Panzano.
Previously announced Sun Princess specialty restaurants include Kai Sushi, a modern sushi bar; Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, a Princess favorite serving freshly made Italian pastas; Umai Teppanyaki, a Sun Princess exclusive fusing teppan cuisine and showmanship; and The Catch by Rudi, a seafood restaurant from renowned Chef Rudi Sodamin.
Sun Princess is scheduled to enter service in February.
