It wasn’t amazing. The T bone steak is served rare — which is always a little variable from one restaurant to the next, but theirs is definitely at the raw end of the scale. The potatoes were nice, the garden salad was sad, and the fried zucchini flowers were ok. The next table seemed to really enjoy the tiramisu. The lights were bright, which killed any kind of atmosphere. The service was perfunctory, apart from the hostess, who was very warm and welcoming. Overall, it was a solid 6 1/2 out of 10.

Esperienza stupenda. Siamo stati a Firenze per un weekend ed abbiamo voluto regalarci una cena in un tipico ristorante toscano e per questo abbiamo deciso di prenotare presso Buca Mario. Già dall'accoglienza si percepisce quanto ci tengano a farti sentire coccolato ed a tuo agio. Il servizio è stato impeccabile e il personale attentissimo ad ogni esigenza. Il cibo ottimo a partire dall'antipasto, al primo, al contorno ed alla classica bistecca alla fiorentina che era uno spettacolo per gli occhi ed il palato. Gustosa, succosa, cotta alla perfezione (ovviamente al sangue) e si scioglieva in bocca. Che dire, un'esperienza che non poteva offrire più di quello che ci ha dato e di cui siamo rimasti soddisfatti oltre ogni aspettativa. Posso solo che consigliare a chi si trova a Firenze e vuole godere di un'esperienza unica, gustando le prelibatezze del posto, di non pensarci due volte e prenotare da Buca Mario. Soddisfazione garantita.

We heard about Buca Mario from a chef at a cooking class we took in Florence. We were elated that we were able to get in that evening. The atmosphere was inviting and we knew immediately that we were there for an experience as well as a meal. The food was delicious (the T-bone for two was so big we took the leftovers back to our hotel and had them for breakfast)! The vibe there is extremely conducive to a long relaxing meal. We felt encouraged to slow down and really enjoy the evening. The bill was well within the range of what we expected it to be and felt it was appropriate for the quality and service. As we were leaving we were greeted by the owner and his daughter and were gifted with a lovely momento to take home. We had a photo taken with them in front of a photo of his parents who were the original owners of Buca Mario. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Our steak was full of gristle and was very tough, the beans were undercooked and unseasoned. The wine was great, and desert was very good. Appetizer was also good. All in all the steak was not worth the money. Having had bisteca in several places in Florence, although highly recommended, it was the worst steak I’ve eaten in Florence

What an exceptional experience. The staff and the food both wonderful. We were celebrating on our honeymoon, they started us off with a congratulations of Prosecco, the entire staff knew we were celebrating and acknowledged us💕 we also even got a hug from a waiter. Very cool experience and amazing food.

Be sure to arrive earlier than your reservation time because even with the reservation confirmed you still have to queue. Food was great especially the pasta. The meat was too much for me 😁 dessert was awesome too, the waiter will push the trolley and present varieties of dessert they have on that day. I must say the service was five star especially Aldo our waiter of the day. He was very attentive and sang very well. Bravo Aldo 🧡

Florentine steak was tasty, but a bit too raw and lacked stove serving to keep it warm. Tiramisu was very tasty, but savoyardi was a bit dry. Great old-fashioned place, worth visiting

Most of the food we had was amazing. The mashed potato + fresh truffle and grilled porcini mushrooms were simply divine. However, the T-bone steak just didn’t work. When you have such a massive piece of rare steak, something needs to be done about the flavor of the inner portions of the meat that aren’t cooked. Some type of sauce would have elevated the dish immensely. The beef they use is also not fit to be cooked like that, as it is way too lean. Overall, I would say this restaurant serves great food, as I noticed some other great dishes going to other tables as well. I would advise anyone wanting to try this restaurant to get anything but the T-bone steak.

Excelente gastronomia (comida) e excelente serviço. Serviço e Atendimento perfeitos. Gostei muito do Spaghetti al sugo di Carrettieri. Casou perfeitamente com o vinho Vinho Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont’Ugo da Antinori sugerido pelo cameriere Niccoló. Recomendo o Ristorante Buca Mario e, com certeza, retornarei.
