Ristorante Buca Mario

There was a long line to get in despite a reservation. The restaraunt was loud and packed seat to table. The service for us was very poor and our server was unpleasant and not managing our table of just 3. I started to feel nauseous before leaving and I ended up sick and with food poisoning the rest of the night. Not what we were expecting based on reviews and reputation.

Like the food very much. The service is good 👍will come back again

Everything was wounderfull, we love it;food, staff, atmosfer, ect. Thx

Very good, as usual, pleasant atmosphere, excellent food, great service.

The restaurant was amazing. Great experience, highly recommended, amazing food

Nico was our server and he enhanced the experience... Florentino steak is a must to have . Be ready because it is really a monster cut of meat.

Our singing waiter Aldo was wonderful. Everything was great! Fabulous

Great food! Highly recommend. Best florentine steak we’ve had and we’ve tried 3 others before.

The food, atmosphere and staff interaction / service are all first class, whilst still being informal. Highly recommended.

Amazing place, service was unmatched. The atmosphere was amazing. We were 30 minutes early for our reservation and they were super accommodating to seating us early

No WiFi, no internet so that you can enjoy your dinner with your friends/family :)

Everything was amazing , we received a complementary glass of champagne 🥂 for our honey moon. It was our last dinner in Florence and it was perfect.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing as well as the service!

Loved it! We had such a pleasant dining experience. Good food, friendly service, lively atmosphere.

Lovely staff who tended to us with care! Great food! Memorable.

We had the best experience ever! Nicola and the wait staff were superior, and the steaks are the best ever! We highly recommend Ristorante Buco Mario to all that travel to Florence! Tavrie & Kathy

Food was wonderful, and the wait staff was welcoming , efficient, and friendly.

Found it delicious experience as always , and great staff.

Overall food is great but T-bone was it tough due to tendon. Pasta was wonderful.

Cibo freddo e la polenta troppo salata. Fiorentina era okey.

This restaurant is fir tourists, but it is great fun! The staff is a lot of fun and their steak florentine is excellent. You go down the stairs to a basement level with lots of rooms. We all ordered starters and some had first courses. We had the steak for 2 and 4 of us had 2 slices each. Our group of 8 shared portions of many dished. Like most steak house, the side dishes were not spectacular, but good. We were all too full for dessert!

The gnocchi was amazing. You must also order the lasagne

It’s good experience and nice staff but noise so loud

The service very slow… the meet was not well coked .. overall terrible experience. Very sad to say this .. as in Buca Mario we have always had great food and service !

Il proprietario ( o colui che pensa di esserlo ) è molto maleducato . Il posto poi è diventato troppo commerciale . Le persone che ci vanno non sono piu’ quelle che ci andavano anni fa . Ci sono tanti altri posti , davvero seri e buoni , che non c’è proprio più bisogno di ritornarci .

Aldo was amazing. He made the experience worth while. He made amazing recommendations and was kind and friendly. Can’t say enough about him. The mashed potatoes were fantastic and the tiramisu was tasty. The steak was very good but very large.

Service, atmosphere and food were outstanding. I recommend this restaurant!

The service was impeccable! The food was AMAZING!! The best Florentine Steak in the city!

It was one of the best restaurants i visited here in Florence! The quality of the food fantastic, the waiters very polite and friendly!

Simply perfect! Delicious food, great ambiance and wonderful staff. Thank you!

Amazing dining experience. Atmosphere, service, food were all perfect as was the wine. Would 100% dine here again!

We had an amazing evening. This was our fourth time there for us from Canada. Our singing waiter made the night. The food was its usual terrific. Highly recommended. It’s a must for us every time we visit this beautiful city.

È una costante quando veniamo a Firenze una cena da Buca Mario, sempre eccezionale, personale efficiente e gentile, i piatti tutti buoni dall'antipasto al dolce, tutti fatti in casa, continuerò ad andarci sicuramente nelle prossime visite a Firenze

A must visit restaurant during a visit to Florence. The owner greats every gust at the door. Which is amazing as the place is very busy and she also visited our table to make sure everything was perfecto. The staff is very friendly / well trained and knows the menu and wine list very well. Our food was very good. Pasta dishes were very good and well seasoned. Warning meat dishes are very large so consider sharing. Fried squash blossoms were delicious. Our only regret is we had zero room left for dessert. Pricing is at the higher end of the scale for Florence, but we felt the experience was worth the price. Highly recommend.

Il cibo ottimo, il servizio ancora di più! Speciale menzione per Nando e la signora (proprietaria). Se ti vuoi sentire a casa, trattato come un re (o una regina) questo è il posto giusto.

personale molto professionale e gentile...cena ottima, Fiorentina spettacolare...il costo sicuramente caro ma ne vale la pena

Dinner was wonderful. Everything was delicious. The zucchini flowers were our favourite.

Delicious - we had the best experience and food. Thank you.

We were a little disappointed. We booked reservations 1 month ago because we heard that this place was amazing. We had prosciutto and mozzarella, the mozzarella was dry. She had lasagna, it was ok, we’ve had much better in the North end of Boston. I had the pasta with boar ragu, it was very salty.

Fantastic restaurant, delicious food and excellent service, will come back again

Meerdere keren per jaar hier aanwezig. Deze periode is het echt wel high season… gerechten zijn minder goed klaar gemaakt. Blijft een prima plekje maar eten kan gewoon beter…

The t bone steak was amazing. Staff and ambiance top notch

Lovely service and incredible food! What a treat to visit.

Service was very good, the pasta was exceptional, and was coupled with a very good wine list. Only downside was the three-person steak florentine which was cold on the inside (it was below room temperature). I love my steak cooked rare but a cold center is never good.

This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint!! The staff are all on top of their game and everything from start to finish was delicious. The prosciutto parm appetizer was delicious, followed by the gnocchi with meat sauce (outstanding!) and the florentine steak - this was shared with someone who does not eat steak and they LOVED it. Followed by desserts - tiramisu which was very good , and the fruit tart that was by far the best we’ve had. All in all an excellent meal, highly recommend

One of the best meals we had! And an amazing staff. Shout out to Nando for making our experience so special Ciao Rakefet

Very loud table of 7 men behind us essentially destroyed the atmosphere of this beautiful restaurant. We came for a romantic and quiet evening together. I expect a normal level of background noise but the other table acted like they were at a bar. They were drunk and boisterous. The concerning thing is that the wait staff did NOTHING to address the situation. That is until we asked to have our table moved to another room. The food was great except that I ordered my steak "à point" and it came almost saignant.

Best restaurant of Firenze! Pasta is incredible, perfect service, lovely atmosphere.

Not enough good words to say. The food was exceptional and Nando, our waiter, made the experience unmatched. If you don’t come here and you are in Florence….get your whole life together.

Amazing food, service and total experience. Worth every plate! A must go in Florence.
