"The Butcher's Block by Dario" Specialty
Bistro will Debut Onboard New Sun Princess
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif., Oct. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A shared passion for tradition,
tastes and a love of celebration underscores a new exclusive
partnership between Princess Cruises and the world's most famous
butcher, Dario Cecchini. This
collaboration introduces a new specialty impromptu bistro, The
Butcher's Block by Dario, onboard the next-generation Sun
Princess, debuting in February 2024.
Passed down eight generations from father to son, and with more
than 48 years of experience, Cecchini is recognized around the
world for his butcher shop and restaurants located in the Tuscan
village of Panzano, Italy.
Featured on Netflix's popular "Chef's Table," Cecchini is known for
taking care and responsibility for the animals and bringing respect
back to butchering by using all the cuts of meat, featuring his
grandmother's recipes that he fell in love with as a boy.
The Butcher's Block by Dario, located on deck 9 of the
new Sun Princess, comes to life as a specialty impromptu experience
featuring a large shared, family-style table serving up a
carnivore's paradise. This specialty dining experience promises to
grill up perfectly prepared beef and steak, including Cecchini's
signature cuts.
In addition, the cruise line's signature steakhouse, Crown
Grill, will feature a refined upscale menu designed by
Cecchini. The menu proudly features the highly coveted "Bistecca
Alla Fiorentina," a distinctive Florentine Steak prepared with the
bone, sourced directly from the prestigious Antica Macelleria
Cecchini butcher shop in Panzano.
"Princess' culinary offerings embody a rich Italian heritage,
uniting a shared passion for family recipes, vibrant social dining,
and a love of celebrating each day of life," expressed Cecchini.
"My life as an artesian butcher holds deep significance because I
hold profound respect for the gift of the animal and ensure that
shines through when guests enjoy my new restaurant and delectable
menus sailing the world on the beautiful Sun Princess."
In addition to The Butcher's Block by Dario and Crown
Grill elevating the culinary offerings on Sun Princess,
previously announced specialty restaurants include Kai
Sushi, a modern sushi bar; Sabatini's Italian
Trattoria, a Princess favorite serving up fresh-made
Italian pastas and unique courses; Umai Teppanyaki, another
Sun Princess exclusive offering a fusion of teppan cuisine and
showmanship; and The Catch by Rudi, from renowned Chef
Rudi Sodamin featuring treasures
from the sea.
"Princess is dedicated to creating the finest experiences for
guests spanning all cultures, tastes and preferences," said
John Padgett President Princess,
"from fine dining to casual and from indulgent to healthy, guests
will love what the Sun Princess is bring to the table."
Throughout Sun Princess, guests will be treated to 29 new and

entertaining eats, sumptuous sips and satisfying snacks. Also new

room elevating the traditional main dining experience with stunning
