Food was amazing. Steak for 2 was perfection. Sea Bass was tender and the pastas were flavorful
Excellent experience! The food was fantastic, specifically the lasagna. The staff was very welcoming, funny, and caring. At the end, they gave me an apron as a souvenir to take home which was so kind! Absolutely recommend this place. Incredible hospitality, atmosphere, and food.
I was disappointed. The food looked so delicious online. I was very excited to try the famous lasagna, but I’m afraid it looked nicer than it tasted. Our server was also not the greatest, he took longer to bring out our food than he did with the tables next to us which were seated after us. He also kept taking items from our tables like salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to use it to prepare table side items for other tables without asking. He just grabbed it, didn’t address us and kept going back and forth. We ended up skipping dessert and getting out of there.
Incredible food - the lasagne and steak were superb ! Would highly recommend to anyone! Staff were also fantastic
Waiter was great. The Lasagna was good but barely warm when served. There was 3 of us and the Florentine steak for 3 was too much food. The steak was fantastic!
It was amazing, everything: the place , the food, the service, hospitality, the atmosphere. I felt that I’m in my family’s house with relatives. I’m from Saudi Arabia and when I back home I will tell family , my friends about this amazing restaurant, Florence should be proud of this place , thanks for the gift 😍🌹
Loved everything about the experience, I was in heaven the whole time. I’ll be bringing back friends in a few weeks!!!
The food was amazing. I was traveling alone and the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The other patrons were extremely friendly. Everything was perfect!!
Aldo was amazing! Thank you for the hole experience! Next time we came Back absolutely
Great food! Excellent service. It’s a must visit when in Florence
Great food, great experience! Must eat place in Florence. A1
Lasagne war gut. Der Rest schlecht. Das Steak kam mit falschem Gargrad und extrem zäh an. Das Brot schmeckt alt. Die überteuerten Kartoffelecken waren nur lauwarm und viel zu teuer für die Menge. 5€ Coperto pro Person zu berechnen ist absolut frech. Schleimiges Personal das versucht mit Komplimenten die Fehler zu überdecken.
The food was excellent and Franco was the best! Grazie Mille!!
We had a great experince at Buca Mario! All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We rarely sat for long brefore someone was checking on our needs. We had the gnocchetti and filet. Both dishes were delicious. We will definitely be back to Firenze again and Buca Mario will be a "must" on our dining list.
Just the lasagne alone makes it so awesome. They have a wide arrangement so also for people who have morw to spend this place is good for anyone! So amazing definitely recommend and will be coming back!!
Very nice service and food , grandmas lasagna was delicious
Food and service were amazing. Will definitely come back next time we are in Florence.
Im from NZ & returned to Buca Mario tonight after 20yrs, because the first time was such a brilliant experience. There were people lining up to get in. Tonight the staff’s enthusiasm, and the quality of food was very average. It was less a dining experience and more like push them in/push them out food. Very disappointing. You could be so much more.
Delicious food and great energy from the staff! Thank you!
Our second time at this restaurant and it was just as good as we remembered
Checked in on time and was sat right away. A line gathers at opening but moves quickly! Nando, our server, a true gentlemen and a scholar! Top notch Florence meal!
Amazing Service, Awesome Food and One of a Kind Atmosphere. Will come back again
Buca Mario was a lovely dining experience. The restaurant is very upscale and the wait staff are very professional. The lasagna changed my life. It was so creamy and every bite was magnificent. The Florentine steak was also stellar! Thank you!!
The service was excellent, but the florentine steak was extremely undercooked and tough to eat! We have had amazing steaks all over the city and had high expectations for Buca Mario, but the quality of the very expensive steak was not good.
Everything was fine. We have had a good experience. The food was very nice.
The best meal we had here. Everything was so amazing!
Excellent repas, très bon service !!! A faire absolument !
The restaurant was charming and the staff friendly and welcoming! However the service felt rushed and the food mediocre. Both are meals, oso bucco and chicken cacciatore, were covered in a bland tasteless tomato sauce. Nothing special.
Food was good, service was outstanding,, and the prices were insanely expensive. While we had a very good experience, the restaurant is very touristy and the kind of place you go once to try it but not again.
Everything from start to finish was amazing! Wine, pasta and steak were incredible!
Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating and the food was mouthwatering fresh and decadent.
Lasagna and tiramisu were life changing. Great service and great experience.
The food was okay not that wet haven’t had better in Italy - unfortunately from all the nice little chambers of the restaurant we ended up been seated at a table next the the loudest dinners. The experience was ruined!
Authentieke keuken met gedreven personeel. Zeer lekker eten. Gezellige sfeer
Amazing! A must in Florence, the lasagna was the best.
service was fast, waiters were all super friendly, food was delicious! Highly recommended.
considering the size of th else when we arrived, we were seated very quickly. Food was exceptional, as was the service.
We were moved from a table in the front of the restaurant to all the way in the back of the restaurant, which was really noisy and had a different ambience. There were whole peppercorns in my husband's dish. A waiter stopped us in the middle of us following our waiter to let another party pass us.
This place is ‘hyped’ and I must say I felt It was underwhelming. It is just a Florence steak house. The sirloin part of the florentein steak was a little bit chewy with pop when chewing. The filet side was tender but a little over cooked. The pastas did not knock me off my feet and the appetizers kept me hoping that maybe I was missing something. I had Better meals and better florentine steak from another place in town that was half price and much better service. My wife and I have eaten all over the world and this was just underwhelming and did not live up to the hype. So don’t feel bad if you don’t make it in. You didn’t miss much.
What an absolute gem this restaurant is. It is a dining essential when in Florence!
Ambiente acolhedor, comida maravilhosa e atendimento irretocável. Valeu muito a visita.
Service was excellent! Food was good. It did not get higher marks because it felt like a tourist trap. A dress code would vastly improve the experience. Sweaty T-shirts and athletic clothes made it feel like a chain restaurant in the USA
Amazing lasagne and the best Creme caramel I’ve ever had. Service was amazing.
Visited with my husband as part of our honeymoon celebrations, and as a person with many years of experience in the hospitality and food service industry I can easily say that this meal had some of the most exceptional hospitality and attentive service that I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The food and wine were delicious of course (I had a glass of the house red, so nothing extravagant, but still a delightful Chianti that went perfectly with my meal), and the dessert was exceptional, but truly the experience and atmosphere is what made this meal one to remember. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality food, high-quality service dinner. Thank you for making our celebration truly special!
Service was wonderful! Lasagna was excellent! Fried chicken was really good but not as I expected. I thought it would be cutlets but it was more like chicken bites. Wine was yummy. T-Bone steak for two was huge and looked delicious (we did not order it but saw them slicing it for other guests table side. Tiramisu was very good.
Food was average at best and overpriced. I asked for a straw and everyone acted put out. After that, every straw they brought out to was was broken. There were 10 in all. We gave up!
Buena comida , algunos detalles a mejorar , todo ok , pero no volvería dé nuevo.
とても良い体験でした! 期待していた骨付き肉もとても美味しく、2人で満足して食べ切れました。 (日本人なら2人で一人前がいいかも) また、店員さんも気さくで歌を歌いながら写真を撮ってくれたり、日本語で話しかけてくれました。 非常に心地よい時間でした。 店が地下にあるので、Wi-Fiがつながりにくく、翻訳アプリでメニューが翻訳できませんでした。 それについても店員さんに聞けば大丈夫かと思います。 平日の夜に行きましたが、地元の方含め多数の方で賑わっておりました。 予約することを強くお勧めします。 フィレンツェに来た際には是非この素晴らしい体験を味わってください!
Was expecting A LOT more! Service felt very rushed, waiter spent more time doing his hair in the mirror than waiting on people. Feel like a instagram/tik tok hype job. Definitely better places to eat in Florence.
Delicious food and wine. Lovely setting too. Sad to see individuals coming to a wonderful dining experience dressed in shorts, t-shirts and sloppy clothing.
