Ristorante Buca Mario

Lugar incrível e acolhedor. Atendimento impecável, assim como a comida de excelência

Es war hervorragend. Der Kellner war wunderbar und das Essen ein Hochgenuss. Wenn wir wieder in der Stadt sind kommen wir gerne wieder.

Crazy que outside in 100 degrees. Would go back later

Buca Mario came highly recommended. It did not disappoint. Amazing night.

The lights went out and we had to leave the restaurant. The food was excellent

It has been 2 years since we last visited Florence and Buca Mario - worth the wait! Absolutely fantastic!

Our server wasn’t overly helpful or friendly. Not a lot of choices for gluten free or the server didn’t understand. Either way we left underwhelmed.

We dined here 10 yrs ago and had a wonderful visit, so we expected the same amazing dinner to end our time in Florence. I made our reservation 6 months prior, to make sure we could secure a table at 7pm for our party of 5. As we lined up to enter, we were told that we weren’t on the reservation list. Fortunately, I had both the original email confirmation from months ago, as well as the same-day confirmation, both clearly showing our 7pm reservation. The restaurant accused me of calling in that day to change the booking time to 9:30pm (clearly NOT the case). They were very rude and insisted that the problem was mine, and that they weren’t able to accommodate me. They used the “reliable” method of table reservations written on little scraps of paper, which as they found my reservation, showed that it was written for 7pm and then someone scratched it out and wrote 9:30pm. Then of cause they blamed me! They ended up finding a table for us about 10 minutes later, next to the bathroom. Lovely! The lasagna was as amazing as I remembered it to be. Seasoned perfectly, with a heavenly bechamel sauce. The fried vegetables were delicious, with the squeeze of lemon and coarse ground salt to enhance. The gnocchi was delicious as well, however the La Bisteca which is the specialty only looks incredible. It lacked all flavor which for the price and presentation, you are expecting an amazing dish. The ossobucco was also underwhelming, with a very acidic tomato sauce smothered over it. The complimentary bread was extremely stale, even when dipped in olive oil and pepper. We had to request balsamic vinegar and salt to make it edible. The server was nice, though. Would I go back? Yes, but only for the lasagna which is INCREDIBLE. Skip the rest.

Il cibo è delizioso e Nando è incredibile, vi consiglierà il vino perfetto e è super attento

Excellent, delicious food. Professional service and friendly front of house and throughout the restaurant. Our favorite meal in Italy!

What an amazing venue. From the food, to the service, to the atmosphere- could not fault it at all. Highly recommend!

Everything was just amazing, Aldo was a perfect host and made sure to keep us pampered, and smiling all the time! Buca Mario never failed to impress us! Only the noise was unbelievable, but not a big deal compared to how great every other thing was.

Combine unreal wine with unreal eats and you find yourself with an unreal time!!

One of the best meals that we had. Outstanding dinner

Ambience OK but the food was like the Italian food I used to eat in London back in the seventies. I had lasagne, the edges of the pasta were chewy and the meat sauce tasted similar to my school meals. My wife had ricotta stuffed ravioli which, for some reason known only to God and the chef, was covered in a bland white sauce. Terrible. Don't know how they can charge such prices - they're obviously living solely on a reputation gained decades ago. The food they serve at the moment is seriously under par.

The most incredible restaurant in Florence! It is a must have!

The food was fantastic; I especially loved the truffle pasta

We enjoyed the excelent food, setting and loved the experience.

A fantastic restaurant! We visit this restaurant every time we come to Florence

Great staff. Incredible food. Just as I remembered from my last visit in 2018. Thank you so much for living up to my memory and expectations. (Aldo was so lovely and welcoming!)

We’ve eaten here before. The food and service were great!

Both service & food was amazing. Would highly recommend this to others

Had the steak and potatoes and my wife had the Lasagna.. both were excellent! Would highly recommend this place! Service is also outstanding and Aldo can really sing!!!

Nando, our waiter, was amazing! What a great experience we had!

As always great welcome and the best food.Excellent service .

Great ambiance and service. While the food was Tuscan focused it was not anything unique or special. It was all well done, but I was a bit underwhelmed. I would certainly recommend everyone should go to enjoy the experience.

Very good as all the other visits we’ve had there. But we had children with us and the restaurant was very rigid about changing a food item.

Our waiter was great. He understood our group and answered our questions and kept us entertained !

Amazing restaurant!! best meal i've had in florence so far, it does not get any better than this!

best meal we had in Florence. Everyone loved their meals!! this is a must!

The service was excellent! So friendly and accommodating with our 2 year old daughter. The food was delicious! Nonna’s lasagna was the best thing I have eaten in a long time!

J’avais sélectionné cet endroit suite au commentaire de Trip Advisor. Nous avons super bien été accueilli. L’endroit était antique et très propre. Nous avons pris un filet de bœuf avec patates et champignons. La cuisson était excellente. À mon avis, il manquait juste un peu de saveur. Le service était très bien. Il y avait un serveur qui chantait et il était très enjoué. En gros, je recommande ce restaurant. En partant, la personne qui nous a fait payer, m’a donné un sac pour faire mes courses

Grande cura per i piatti della tradizione. Tutto squisito. Servizio impeccabile. Prezzo corretto

Our first time and the food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. When we are in Florence again we will definitely come back.

This restaurant was absolutely enchanting. it has such a wonderful atmosphere and intimate feel. We got the lasagna and the chicken and they were both incredible. Especially the lasagna. Also, the owner was so wonderful and personable. 11/10 recommend!

Perfect dinner, amazing staff and atmosphere! Everything was well set up!

It was a phenomenal experience, the food was nothing shy of amazing and the staff were attentive and kind. They made us feel at home and comfortable. The "Isabella's Lasagna" was to die for and Tiramisu was unlike any other I've had in Florence. 100/10 recommend and I will be returning next time I'm back in Florence.

It was amazing service and food. Loved the lasagna and the dessert

Food and service was amazing would highly recommend to book a dinner here it was incredible great way to end our trip to Florence

Great food, wonderful atmosphere, excellent service. My third visit to Buca Mario

Perfect in every way! Our server made our evening so special. A huge hats off to the staff for their kindness, generosity and welcoming spirit!

Our waiter, Nandi, was amazing. Best service we’ve received in Italy. Would go back just to chat and drink grappa with him.

Beautiful food, fab wine and the waiters were very attentive. Really enjoyed our evening.

The restaurant staff was wonderful. They sat us early before our reservation time. The waiter was so kind and pleasant, even offered to take our picture and brought complimentary biscotti. However, the bread was hard and tasteless. There was a $5 cover charge per person. “Grandma’s Lasagna was excellent. The ravioli was just okay.

Amazing place great atmosphere wish to come back soon as possible

the stake was not good at all couldnt get a refund or another meal the hype of this restaurant is fake stay away run.

Amazing lasagna and the desserts were epic! This is a really nice place to dine.

Microwaved meals.Left immediately after last entree was served, could not believe how terrible it was and the cost of such scam.

Food was amazing and service was great would recommend to anyone

Outstanding good and service - lives up to its reputation. Well worth a visit
