Ristorante Buca Mario

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.

Wonderful experience and highly recommend. Hope to be back for a visit while vacationing.

Gutes Essen, guter und sehr freundlicher Service dank Tommaso! Herrlich gute Fiorentina!!

Excellent Experience amazing Food. The staff were proffessional and nice.

Un'esperienza molto bella e unica. Estremamente gustoso! Grazie Mille @Roberto 😊

great food and winw, great service, we had a marvelous time

Buca Mario is an absolute gem! The food was nothing short of amazing—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was impeccable, warm, and attentive from start to finish. A truly unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place great hospitality ! Could do possible little better with the antipasti.

Aldo was amazing! The food was incredible & I will think about the lasagna and steak forever🤍

Food was mediocre at best for the price and don’t expect welcoming service.

It was an amazing experience! Food did not disappoint, every bite was savory and delicious! The service was excellent too! Will definitely come back!

Amazing food, authentic ambience, professional service! Cute gift at the end, little bit pricey vs other options but worth every penny!

Each year we go to Buca Mario the dinning experience keeps getting better and better. Which would almost seem impossible but yet it’s true. Amazing food and the waiter was absolutely wonderful See you next year

Lasagna was incredible. Service excellent…friendly, warm and did not feel rushed even though this is a very busy restaurant.

A truly fantastic meal and great service. The highlights of our meal were Nonna’s lasagna and our waiter Nando. This was the best lasagna I have ever eaten and I’m not even a huge fan of lasagna. Service was great across the board and was led by our fantastic waiter Nando. Made us extremely comfortable and made the atmosphere feel festive. Highly recommended and if you can get Nando as a server you’re in for a treat!

The stake was like rubber And it was not fresh. It was like 1 hour later after cooking. Cold and my chin was out of order.

Great food service ambience and location had a great time

Last time we ate here was 10 years ago and dreamed about coming ever since. The restaurant was as exactly as we remembered. Great service and incredible food.

I was very excited to go back after spending my birthday here almost two years ago. The food has been lovely but the atmosphere and people who ran it, made it. Unfortunately this time I came for my engagement (we live in LA& NY) and while the food was good, the staff was not very friendly and tried to rush us through our entire meal. The family stopped around last time to check in on tables and while the wife stopped by some tables around us, we were very much left alone and felt somewhat unwelcome. Even after we said we were there celebrating our engagement and asked for a picture our waiter didn’t seem too happy to take it and walked away speaking about us in Italian (which we understand). I had been excited to bring my new finance here for the first time for a really big moment in our life and again, while the food was lovely, the rest of the experience was unfortunately quite bad. I’m not sure if social media has ruined this place but that will be my last visit.

Un’esperienza indimenticabile. Cibo e vino. E la gentilezza del Team.

The food and rooms are outstanding. However, Carmine made the entire night spectacular. Felt like we were family. Will always come back when we are in Florence.

We had really high hopes since it got such rave reviews. We had the osobuco and spaghetti with meat sauce. Both were very average. I wouldn’t rush there. It’s an ok restaurant.

Fabulous food and great service always Have been here several times over the years.

Excellent steak and service. We could have licked the plates

Wonderfull place!!! Excellent food!!! Nice experience in the restaurant. We’ll be Back!!!

Amazing and friendly staff and great food! Highly recommend when in Florence!

The staff was so welcoming and attentive - we had the Osso Buco which was one of the best meals we have EVER had !!!!!

The lasagna was incredible! It definitely lived up to its reputation. Would definitely recommend Buca Mario to anyone traveling into the city.

Thank u very much for ur kindness and super amazing cook.

We loved every moment of it from the entrance to leaving such a respectful service and amazing food we will definitely be back!!! It felt like home ❤️

The experience at Buca Mario was exceptional from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The restaurant encompasses traditional Italian service, food and interiors. The wait staff were excellent and we were very well looked after. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Florence.

Service was excellent. Server friendly and helpful. Everything we ordered was delicious. Ones that ordered the Florentine steak were not disappointed and glad they did. Appreciated you helping the celebrate the birthday boy.

Great food- and great place-from Kuwait the lasagna is beef and it’s yummy

Amazing Great service by Nando. Delicious food. Loved it. Will recommend to others.

The food was good. Our waiter was excellent. I would have given Buca Mario a much higher rating if the aC was cooling. The heat made it miserable and very difficult to enjoy our food. We weren’t able to finish our wine or dinner.

Everything was excelente, the service, the food and the wine!! Recommended 100%
