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.

Phenomenal service, fantastic food, and an atmosphere that makes every moment feel special. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The staff is warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. Each dish was packed with flavor. There’s a reason it’s tough to get a reservation: this place is the real deal. 100% worth the wait.

This was the most exceptional meal of our trip to Florence and was overall an incredible experience! Our waiter was so kind, gave us great recommendations, and ensured we had a wonderful meal. The atmosphere is cozy yet fun. The food was extraordinary, there simply aren’t words to describe how delicious everything was. One of the most memorable experiences I had with my family and I am so grateful to everyone at Buca Mario!

Was super excited to try this restaurant but w-it was very disappointed. The lasagne arrived cold and we had to send it back to be reheated. It was very good once it was warm, and we did like it a lot. The florentine steak had zero flavour and was extremely upsetting. We were so disappointed in that, especially considering the cost. Crostini with the fresh truffle was excellent. Kudos to our server for realizing we were disappointed and doing what he could to make it right. We didn’t want to be rude so we said nothing, but he still gave us limoncello shots & tiramisu on the house. $300 was painful for a dinner we felt was lacking.
