The food was pretty good. Amazing? No, but quite enjoyable. Unfortunately we ordered two different fillets medium rare, and they both came out looking as rare as the Florentine steak at the table next to us. Maybe the chefs only know one way to cook a steak? The ribollita was very good!

Ein traditionsreiches Restaurant mit gutem regionalem Essen und überaus freundlichem Service! Unser Kellner Aldo ist einmalig, mit Witz, Charme und Gesang hat er uns durch den Abend begleitet und war dabei sehr professionell. Vielen Dank wir haben uns sehr gut gefühlt!

Had a great experience overall. It is no mystery why this eatery has been around as long as it has. The staff was knowledgeable regarding the menu and attentive despite being quite busy. The atmosphere was a bit loud and the tables were situated a little too close together for my comfort, which is the only reason Buca Mario’s did not get my highest rating overall.

Un po' freddo la temperatura nel locale , seppur ci fossero i condizionatori accesi , forse perché eravamo in una saletta un po' isolata. Nel complesso però molto gentili educati i camerieri . Cibo buono, piatti abbondanti.

I loved when the employee who was holding a fake cake pretended to drop it on my friend. Made my whole day. Really really great hospitality, I felt like I was in an Italian household and the cooking came from Nonna.

We were excited to dine here only to be disappointed with the food and the waiter. A lovely greeting from owners but it went down hill from there. The waiter was not interested in explaining anything and presented with a lack of interest. There was no explanation of how the dishes worked or any recommendations. He was o my interested in taking the order and moving on. The food was subpar but they may have been what we ordered too??

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.
