The line outside was a turn off from the start felt like a tourist trap the service was ok. We had the fried zuchini flowers and the fried pircini shrioms wich were very good and so were the two pastas we had but the bistecca was tough and lacked flavor didnt help that it was very hot down in the basement would not return

We have eaten at Buca Mario several times so we were looking forward to this visit. We arrived on time for our reservation and ended up being seated at a table in the reception area. Because of the constant stream of people coming in and the waitstaff standing no more than 5 feet from our table our dinner was neither relaxing or enjoyable. The service was not good. Our waiter pretty much ignored us the entire time, didn’t pour our wine, didn’t slice our steak. It was very disappointing to spend 200 euros on a dinner we didn’t enjoy at all. We will not return to Buca Mario again.

What a wonderful dining experience for our first time in Florence. Beautiful interior, wonderful atmosphere, food and Chianti. Our waiter, Aldo, was the best.

Heard this place was amazing. The caprese salad was literally just sliced tomatoes (not cooked at all or seasoned) mozzarella balls, and a tiny bit of arugula. And charge outrageously for it. The Gorgonzola gnocchi wasn’t good. The lasagna was good, but not for the price. Overall too expensive for what they’re offering.

We started dinner with a cheese plate. It was wonderful and huge! We actually dialed back our dinner order because the appetizer was so large. We ended up splitting dinners which were very good. The service was great, warm, and friendly. We will return without question.

We enjoyed our evening at Buca Mario. While I appreciate its high season, I don’t think it’s reasonable to be seated at 19:25 when you have a 19:00 reservation. They need to improve the way they greet and seat guests. Beyond that, once seated good and service were excellent!

Pls note even though you have a reservation, you have to get in a line that wraps around the corner, it moves pretty quickly. Once inside we were treated like family! The owners are warm and inviting, the food and wine were fantastic.

My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and we haven’t stopped talking about it. The staff were incredible, kind and genuinely interested in making sure we had a lovely experience. The food was some of the best we’ve ever had. We will remember this meal and this experience for the rest of our lives.

What a perfect dinner! Our severs were the definition of hospitality, the owner even greeted everyone at the door. Can’t miss dishes are the lasagna, gnochetti, and really any fillet / bistecca. The dessert cart is the cherry on top! We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!
