Overall the food was delicious, but the steak was a bit tough. Even rare, it was very chewy. The other dishes were fantastic. The atmosphere was very vibey, but HOT! 🥵 We enjoyed our experience, but it wasn’t as amazing as I had hoped.

This has been the best restaurant my family and I have been to in Italy. From the food to the service. Got to talk to the owners and it’s was like we were with family. Will definitely be coming back not only to Florence but to Buca Mario!

This place is extremely overhyped. The staff is not friendly, and the reviews are true about them seating all of the American tourists in a far back room. The Florentine Steak is basically raw, cold in the middle. It was painful to get through. We were really looking forward to the experience but ended up not getting out of the place fast enough.

Fabulous food, artichoke hearts arugula and gorgonzola cream on bread! Fried zucchini flowers, lamb chops, Florintine tripe, tagliatelle with wild boea sauce, all to die for. Beautiful restaurant and Aldo, our server sang to us again and again. Yes, he was a super-server as well. Oh, great wine list, too!

The food was amazing. We ordered 2 firsts and 2 seconds and were so full we couldn’t touch dessert but the dessert cart looked amazing. Whilst it’s on the more pricey side it was worth it!

Steak was very undercooked despite waiter confirming it would be cooked medium rare. I know that fiorentine steaks are supposed to be rare, but when I asked if they could cook it more the waiter said medium rare no problem. It then came out rarer than anyone’s around me, which almost seemed intentional, on top of that the side we ordered never came.

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends. A bit pricey but overall a good experience. Impressive food presentation with each course and food was full of flavor. Our fault was in ordering too much (the lasagna would’ve been enough!) and we had to take a 2nd course home. The only negative was in having to eat so late. (Couldn’t get a reservation until 9:30) So if you’re even thinking of going, book way ahead!

Hardest working waiters striving to not only professionally serve your meal but also engage you to have a wonderful experience. Worth every dime and a “manga-to-boot”.

There was a long line to get in despite a reservation. The restaraunt was loud and packed seat to table. The service for us was very poor and our server was unpleasant and not managing our table of just 3. I started to feel nauseous before leaving and I ended up sick and with food poisoning the rest of the night. Not what we were expecting based on reviews and reputation.
