Is da Padellina in Strada Chianti, worth the ride?

I've read that da Padellina in Strada Chianti serve fabulous "real deal" bistecca ala Fiorentina. We would need to take the bus which is doable on a weekday. Has anyone eaten there and is it really worth the trip. Bus takes about 40 minutes.

You should go. Not so much for the Bistecca or I Fegatelli, since there are good restaurants in Florence that can give you the same, but because it will be an opportunity to visit the Chianti countryside. After lunch you could also take a bus and venture further down, maybe to Greve then back (study the bus schedule and see). Of course a rental car would be best for visiting the countryside, if you have the time.
