Ristorante Buca Mario

This was our 3rd time visiting! We came all the way from Canada and brought our family to experience Buca Mario! Grazie!

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic friendly service, delicious food and a comfortable upscale atmosphere. Highly recommend the tiramisu!!

Incredible atmosphere and amazing staff. Food was delicious, make reservations!

An amazing restaurant i Florence and the best bistecca Fiorentina in the world :-)

The awesome foods, friendly serving and atmosphere were all perfect 👍👍👍

Quite a large restaurant but very good food! Enjoyed my large portion of truffle raviolis!

Food was delicious- homemade ravioli, fillet of beef cooked perfectly, zucchini flowers, wine options and expresso martini s . Service was impeccable- must have reservations.

The waiters and owner were very nice, and service was good. The food was nothing to write home about for the value.

First time at Buca Mario and my family and I had a great time. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Definitely come hungry because the portion sizes are good especially with the steak. The fillet I had was big. The price is more on the upper side but the menu caters to a wide range of price points with a little something for everyone. Buca Mario is a definite recommend, loved it.

A great experience overall, quite expensive but rewarding. If only it was cheaper !

Maravilloso, ambiente y comida buenisima. No será nuestra última vex

Great experience ! Great host, friendly ambiance, delicious foods & wines.

Great restaurant! We had an awesome dinner here. The steak is a must, but you must order it medium rare!

Food was good nice atmosphere fun time would definitely go again

Amazing place! Such cozy, laid-back vibe yet with highly professional service and of course terrific food (with fast servings). We loved our dinner here.

I recommend arriving early otherwise the kitchen closes around 10:05

Comida muito boa, atendimento bom porém localização da mesa ruim.

Nando took great care of us during our dinner at Buca Mario. Food was prepared well and tasted so fresh. This restaurant was fantastic in every aspect.

Great atmosphere and food. Fantastic service. Definitely worth a try.

The service and food were good BUT the heat was unbearable. What could have been a good experience turned into suffering. We couldn't enjoy the dinner at all. We don't understand how a restaurant of this prestige doesn't have a good air conditioning system, it's very disappointing. Based on my experience, I don't recommend it in summer.

The staff were very friendly. The food was amazing! The bistecca allá Florentina was cooked perfectly. Excellent atmosphere. We had a delightful time.

I had a wonderful fish dish and my daughter had the beef filet. Which was gamey and had no flavor. (I make a better steak at home for sure.) Service was good and so was dessert. If her meal would have been good we would have loved the place.

Il locale era molto bello, gli spaghetti con cozze e calamari erano meravigliosi. Ci é piaciuta un sacco la esperienza. Ma devo anche diré che il camariere é stato un po' maleducato.

The food was incredible, customer service was exceptional and great value for money. Highly reccomend

Très bon service et bon accueil, service rapide ! !

Cadre très agréable, Cuisine délicieuse, Service parfait, Je le conseillerai

Insane .. totally worth it . Impeccable services and the food was to die for

Steak was tough and the restaurant is huge and not well air conditioned.

Wonderful staff and warm welcome - personalised attention from our own waiter who was really knowledgable and guided us through menu and wine choices that would work for what we wanted. The food was sublime - don’t miss the cheese platter - the Gorgonzola with chestnut honey combined with the house Prosecco is a taste combination that will last. We then opted for the T-bone steak - it was so succulent and tasty: simple perfection! If you can afford it, come you won’t regret it

We always have a great experience at Buca Mario. We especially enjoy our waiter Aldo. He is the best!!

Average food at a very high price. Paying for the hype and reputation of the restaurant. Service was good though.

We made a reservation here based on reviews and recommendations. We didn't order wine with dinner because we had just come from an all day wine tasting experience and immediately our service changed. The tables all around us received a better service. We had the Florentine Steak for one (only cooked rare), a filet with potatoes and mushrooms, and squash blossoms. All the food was good, but we left feeling disappointed as this was our last meal in Italy and the service difference was noticeable.

After doing our research, we made a reservation at Buca Mario. However, we felt very rushed by the waiter. Because we had read such good reviews and saw the Michelin stars, our expectations for this restaurant were the highest during our vacation and we were looking forward to this the most. So we also decided to go for a starter, main dish and dessert with coffee and cocktails and good wine. We were very unhappy that the waiter rushed us through all the dishes. We were still working on our main dish or the dessert cart was already in front of us. Even when my girlfriend did not finish her dessert and I was still eating he was already ready with the limoncello and bill which I had not asked him for. It feels like we were in America and not in Italy we are not lost tourists but Europeans who book a table and want to enjoy our food and drinks. After all I am paying good money for it and then I wish to be treated like this.

Tutto molto buono, personale cordiale e professionale. Consiglio vivamente il locale

Lovely restaurant. Food was good and the staff were so friendly

Just loved it - simple food done well , great atmosphere and felt like a family dinner with a 5 star chef !

Fantastic!!! From the warm greeting at the door to the service (Tiziano) everything was amazing. The food was plentiful and delicious!

Great food and hospitality. A wonderful meal. Definitely one to recommend

Such a wonderful experience having dinner here at Buca Mario! The staff are so kind, welcoming and friendly. We had the most amazing steak and the famous lasagna, but the absolute highlight was the dessert trolly with the Tiramisu of dreams! Prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality. Thank you so much for a lovely evening

Amazing great steak The best food is Firenze , would definently recommend!

An amazing place, such hearth warming staff. The food was great too, and in consideration of the restaurant’s image, a good value for the money.

Seated a little early, temperature was uncomfortably warm, steak was undercooked (ordered medium rare, came out barely cooked on either side) before it was overcooked (asked it be cooked just a little longer and came back medium to medium well, waiter didn’t stick around to ask how it was) but the main dishes tasted very good. Very good cut of steak. Caprese salad was underwhelming - four pieces of mozzarella that looked they they came out of a package next to a handful of cherry tomatoes that were cut in half on top of a small bed of arugula. The spaghetti was very good- cooked perfectly, and the meat sauce taste was very good. Staff was friendly. Great ambiance. Energetic feel.

We ate at Buca Mario over 20 years ago. This time around we brought our children and the experience was just as incredible as it was the first time. The food, environment, waiters, owners- everything is top notch! We cannot wait to go back!!

Tutto benissimo, prezzo giusto e il servizio di Carmine superiore. Tornerò sicuro

Every time I return to Firenze I will always try to have dinner in this place. Bistecca Fiorentina was amazing among with La Torta della Nona! Staff is charming as well as the owners who are there welcoming customers and supervising everything, nevertheless the time for the service takes a little bit too much!

Very good food and very good service. I recommend it.

The best pasta I have ever had in my life (we ordered 3) the service was superb from start to finish, everyone was extremely friendly and lovely!

Buca Mario was recommended from three different sources. It did not disappoint. Excellent meal! Amazing service!

Amazing dinner. Would highly recommend. Highlight of Florence. Hidden gem.

Did not enjoy. Service was very slow. I asked for a water and was never given one. Also asked for a drink menu and the waiter never came to ask for my drink. Lasagna was fine but steak was not good. I don’t care about the rareness, steak was super chewy and didn’t have any flavor. Think this place is very overhyped.
