Ristorante Buca Mario

Firstly it began with having to wait 15 minutes for my waiter to come and ask if I wanted to order a drink. I found the service to be the worst I’ve ever received. I observed the waiter being very friendly with all the other tables he had, offering to take their photos and even singing. The waiter spoke less than 5 words to me. My food I ordered the lasagna and it was cold in the middle and very bland. Barely any meat sauce and thick pasta sheets. The waiter didn’t even check to see if I was enjoying my meal or needed anything else. Again the waiter gave special treatment to all the other tables and I was treated horribly. It was quite embarrassing.

Sono andato pieno di aspettative, con una prenotazione fatta in anticipo... i tavoli sono molto vicini, il cameriere non è stato per niente gentile e il cibo era insapore... Sono rimasto deluso... Capisco che queste siano esperienze, ma la mia non è stata buona.

Locale storico di Firenze. Il personale è di una gentilezza unica. A noi ci ha servito il signor Aldo, cameriere d’altri tempi molto simpatico, gentile, cortese e soprattutto esperto del suo mestierie. Abbiamo mangiato una bistecca alla fiorentina con contorno di patate arrosto e abbiamo bevuto una bottiglia di vino rosso ottima a dir poco, carne di altissima qualità, tutto molto e troppo buono! Consigliatissimo, saprò dove mangiare quando tornerò a Firenze. Ah dimenticavo, dopo aver pagato il conto, stavamo andando via e il signore che stava all’ingresso ci ha regalato anche un pensierino per ricordo di questa bellissima serata. Grazie.

A tourist trap and very expensive. Service was good but food not worth it.

Ristorante stupendo perché rispetta la tradizione, la titolare e’ una persona eccezionale, fa sentire i suoi clienti persone di famiglia, si avverte molto forte la passione che mette nel suo lavoro, il personale e’ molto competente e professionale, molto educato e simpatico, cibo superlativo, ottima qualità e dosi generose, sinceramente uno dei migliori ristoranti in cui io sia mai andato,ci tornerò sicuramente

Qualità eccellente. Personale attento. Proprietari gentili. Ottima serata. Ci ritorneremo volentieri

We enjoyed this restaurant but probably wouldn’t return if we were back in Florence. The food was good, not great. It was all tourists and the restaurant, though cool, was so large it didn’t feel very authentic

The best experience! Amazing service. The food was some of the best in Florence. I had the grandmas lasagnas and my husband had the florentine steak (for 1). We both could not get enough!! It was the best lasagna I’ve ever had and the steak was cooked perfectly. We finished with tiramisu and it was so light but creamy. Some of the better ones that I’ve had. HIGHLY recommend!!

Great service, amazing dining experience! This was our fourth time there!

Everything we thought it would be. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food and service! Florence stake was more than perfect

Great to be back, food and wine were delicious, staff spoiled us for our honeymoon, Florence classic not to be missed!

We had high expectations and your staff went above and beyond. The food, service & atmosphere was wonderful!

Great food and place. Hope to come back soon! Ciao

We loved Buca Mario and wish we could return soon; however, it is quite a long flight!

Ottimo servizio, grande cordialità e buon cibo. Ambiente molto affollato

This restaurant is amazing! The staff exceptional (our waiter was Roberto who was extremely helpful). The food was the best we've had in Italy to date, especially the lasagne! Lastly, wine choices were incredible. Will be back and recommending to friends.

Maitred was rude food poor and very expensive not impressed

one of the best meals that we have had in Florence. you see it on social media for good reason. make sure you book a reservation well in advance because it is always booked up. we initially had a reservation booked for 7 but had our hotel call and change it to 915 and that was perfect. the place was still packed full at that time. service was great and atmosphere was really nice.

This place was my favorite restaurant in Italy thus far, and I’ve come to visit a handful of times. The food was amazing. The lasagna was my favorite. Steak was very tender and all sides were delicious. I am contemplating trying to get a second reservation on my trip…

Great food and great service. Why we go out to eat.

Great service and fantastic food!🍲 would go again. Try the lasagna!

The crostini pomedoro had toast that could nearly break a tooth. It was difficult to eat. The mixed seafood pasta was very good but low on quantity of seafood. The beef was prepared very well but the potatoes served were just average. The cafe and limoncello were perfect. The wait staff was nice and did their jobs well however my husband's chair was bumped by the staff more than once during our meal. The ambience was very nice once the loud group behind us left. Perhaps it was just an off night.

Alles war wirklich hervorragend! Sehr nette Kellner und noch besseres Essen!

Everything was perfect. We loved our singing server! He was amazing! The food was impeccable!

Our waiter was delightful and the food was amazing .

The food was amazing, especially the grandmas lasagna! Our server was also fantastic and very helpful!

The best Bistecca Fiorentina in the world, hands down 😊

Nice place, very polite and efficient service, good wine, but the Bistecca Fiorentina was a disappointment: served almost cold, not juicy at all, hard and tasteless. Hopefully the side dishes were vey good…also the desserts were vey good.

Tout était délicieux et à la hauteur de nos attentes

Nando was an amazing waiter.The food was fabulous . Would highly recommend.

Aldo was wonderful! Food was amazing! everyone who worked there had a smile on their face and greeted us with a smile😃

Food Perfecto ! Atmosphere ! Staff !! All Excellent Bene !!

Everything was perfect! From the food to the staff to the atmosphere. Must try resto if in Florence!

Really historic fairly formal setting, zucchini salad was ridiculously priced for what it was, lasagne was really nice. Overall too expensive, I have had much nicer meals in nicer settings in Firenze.

Amazing restaurant would recommend everyone to go experience the fantastic foodlove

Excellent food and service. Had the lasagna as well as the wild boar pasta. Finished it off with tiramisu and flourless chocolate cake.

Schrecklich. Ein unhöflicher Kellner hat meine Frau und mich schrecklich behandelt. Wir bestellten ein bestimmtes Gericht, und als ein anderer Kellner kam, um es zu servieren, kam es falsch. Wir wollten nachfragen, und der erste Kellner kam und stritt mit uns Gästen und sagte, wir hätten tatsächlich dieses Gericht bestellt. Wir stornierten die Bestellung und ich bezahlte nur für ein Pastagericht, das unglaublich teuer war.

Great dining experience!! We will be back. Thanks for a memorable meal. Tiramisu was my favorite.

Desde la puerta, nos atendieron extraordinariamente. El mesero fue sumamente atento y cortés

We were disappointed with our experience and meal. The meat was not good quality and the sides were disappointing and tasteless. Our waiter was lovely and the wine was nice.

It was too hot for me in the dining room but, as always we visit Buca Mario, food and services was great and amazing. We have been 3 times in Florence and 3 times at Buca Mario. Next time we visit, will back to dinner. Thanks to make it so good.

Service and food were incredible! Best meal of our Florence trip hands down!

Aldo was the best part of this experience. He had every table leaving smiling because of his amazing singing voice and smile. We loved the steak and the whole evening!!! So special will always remember this dinner

Overpriced. Touristy. Would not describe as authentic Tuscan-more like ‘Americanized’ ITALIAN. Disapointing experience overall

Best steak I’ve had in a long time. Great food, great staff. Perfect evening

Ate many places while in Florence and this was our favorite.

Cibo e servizio eccellenti. Un posto fantastico nel cuore di Firenze.

We had a wonderful meal and the food was amazing

Best lasagna! Great service, Beautiful setting. Oh, and dessert, yum!
