Ristorante Buca Mario Firenze Reviews from The Last Year
Touristy but tasty
Having read the previous reviews, both positive and negative, I have to say that some elements of both are true. Is this place a tourist trap? Well I’m not sure. It is almost 100% tourists, and it is fantastically over priced. However, and it’s significant, everything for tourists is over priced, and this restaurant does have a lovely vibrant atmosphere and delivers good food. Contrary to what others have said, we found the waiting staff to be lovely, as was everyone else we encountered. It wasn’t the best steak I’ve ever eaten but it was very nice. Of note, the wine list is NOT over priced and decent bottles can be had below €40. It’s very busy and has a fairly fast turnover but the liveliness really makes it an interesting place. Loud enough that you don’t have to whisper and that your conversation isn’t overheard, but at just the right level where you don’t need to raise your voice. Do the waiters talk about customers away from the table? Probably. But every waiter in every restaurant in the world does. If you’ve had good service, leave a tip. We tipped 12.5% and the waiter was kind enough to thank us, you don’t see that at most places in England or the USA, it’s taken for granted. It loses some marks for the outrageous line to get in, even with reservations and also for the seeming encouragement of people filming and taking pictures of everything. It’s free marketing but I cannot stand it. Also I’d say the prices are at the very very top of the realms of acceptable, but just. €360 including tip for three people, three courses plus wine. It’s very pricey, but a good bit of theatre and once only thing, so I don’t feel ripped off.
Wonderful Occasion Restaurant
Had a wonderful anniversary dinner here; we let them know in the reservation and when we arrived they gave us each a glass of complimentary prosecco. Service was friendly and the Florentine Steak was fantastic. It wonderfully paired with a Chianti the waiter recommended.
Waiters ruin your experience
Nowhere in the world the waiter forces in ur face u to pay tip - here you go this place the waiters do. In addition they go by calling your nationality in Italian as if we don’t understand when you don’t add more than 10% tip - I do not like the place & culture - food was ok and way over priced, tourist trap in full day light. Bad experience….wish owners stop the waiters behaving this in their own resturant. I cancelled my next day reservation straight away …. There is no room for such behaviour what waiters are doing to paying customers
Waiter staff will ruin your experience
No where in the world the waiter forces in ur face u to pay tip, this place the waiters do. In addition they go by calling your nationality behind your back in Italian as if we don’t understand when you don’t add more tip - they did this to my husband and he was very upset. Do not like the place & culture - food was ok and way over priced, tourist trap in full day light. Very bad experience….wish owners stop the waiters behaving this wild in their own resturant. My husband went back and cancelled next day reservation straight away ….then we went to the Florence central market where food and service is exceptiona. The waiters are harassing the paying customers by calling out nationality etc. - how is this acceptable in 21st century. I believe this tourist trap should not be allowed to continue displaying such low standards.
Huge steaks
What can I say. Best steak in the city. Lovely friendly staff in a superb location. Make sure you book it's busy and you can tell why!
I would rate this place a 3.
7, but I'm rounding up to 4 stars overall. I made reservations about a month in advance for a Tuesday night at 7pm which is when they opened, we arrived about 5 minutes early and there was a line that wrapped around the corner of the restaurant already. I recommend getting a reservation beforehand if you want to try. I found this place before our trip to Italy on Tiktok and it seemed to be many tourist's fave place in Florence to get steak. Many locals say you have to try the Florentine steak because it's super delicious. I had very high expectations due to this and I thought the restaurant itself was a bit over-hyped, granted, coming from the States and having had A5 wagyu in Japan, I am a bit spoiled when it comes to very great quality steaks. The plus is that this place has big portions for steaks. Their 1 person Florentine steak which was basically a T Bone, was close to 2 Inches thick and about 60 euros. My husband and I shared it along with papperdelle Bolognese (I think roughly 20 euros?) which they said is made with wild boar but I couldn't tell the difference. We also ordered an artichoke salad along with some fried vegetables, roughly 12-16 euros each. Both forgettable but we were in desperate need of veggies after days of just carbs. In Italy they charge you for either still or sparkling water and they also add a coverage charge that's typically 2-5 euros per person. At this restaurant, they charged 5 extra per person. Ambiance is nice with an old rustic Italian feel and the servers all wear these suits so it makes it feel a lot fancier. I also had a glass of chianti red wine, as well, very good however due to this restaurant being a bit overpriced, it was about 10 euros which is a couple dollars more than other places. The server was pretty nice and they were quick to serve us our food. If you're traveling to Florence, I think it's worth trying the Florentine steak and papperdelle here. For two people, we spent roughly 135 euros which isn't horrible but expect to spend more here than other restaurants in Florence.
Our best meal in Florence!
Truly a 5 star experience from start to finish. Amazing service, food, & atmosphere. Definitely recommend! Huge steaks and reasonably priced. Good value for the quality of food you are getting. Recommend making a reservation.
It is a good place with delicious food.
The service was ok, and the ambiance was very nice and old,
Yelp promoting me for a review, I thought I might have left
Yelp promoting me for a review, I thought I might have left on already. That said, my wife and I enjoyed our 7th anniversary dinner so much, I have no issue saying so again. Note: They have 2 seatings, so even with a ressie you will most likely have to queue up. See pics below. Once we got in everything was perfect, from our first chat to the host to paying the bill as we left. I had communicated when making the reservation that we were celebrating our 7th. When we got there it was like the whole restaurant knew it. We got a great table with plenty of room and a glass of Champagne, gratis, upon taking our seat. We had 3 courses, Pasta special, Florentine Steak and a Sea Bass, it was all amazing. We drank wine, Martinis and Lemoncello, and ate an amazing assortment of desserts. This is a special place and everyone who comes by respects that. Reservations are a must and plan to spend for the quality you will receive.
Is it possible that our group of 6 was unlucky enough that
Is it possible that our group of 6 was unlucky enough that Buca Mario ran out of that fabulous Florentine steak that everyone in the reviews raves about -- and sourced some extras from the local low end "butcher"? We over-ordered -- and our server didn't find it necessary to advise us otherwise. Perhaps our doing so emboldened him to send TWO of the toughest steaks any of us had ever had to our table. No one wanted to embarass our friend who had recommended Buca Mario -- so no one spoke out during the dinner. On our way out I expressed our disapleasure discreetly to the server and he referred me to management -- resulting in two managers shrugging their shoulders -- no disappointment or surprise visible in their expression. Our appetizers were delicious. The sides also good as were the desserts. Sorry I can't remember what we ordered because the Classic Florentine Steak was such a disappointment that's really all I can remember. And that is why we went there -- prepared to pay a premium for what we were told by friends was the best steak in Florence. In hindsight, perhaps we should have sent the steaks back...wish we had. They obviously didn't think much of us to have risked their reputation and served those steaks. Sending it back could not have lowered their regard for us. In this age of online reviews, I thought the days of treating tourists differently because they were unlikely to return were long gone. Sadly, I was mistaken.
We were super excited to try this place, after hearing many
We were super excited to try this place, after hearing many great things. We found out that this establishment has been run by the same family since the 1800s! We had a reservation for a group of 4 and were seated right away. The staff was all very friendly, and the service was superb. - Bruschetta (4.5/5): So fresh, delicious, all you could want and more. - Charcuterie (5/5): Good portion size to share. Comes with cured meats and cheeses. We asked for bread on the side. - Fresh pasta (5/5): Best pasta. The pasta in Italy is so amazing and yummy, especially here . They make everything so fresh and so flavorful. It is delicious; it needs a minimal amount of sauce. The meat was perfect too. - Lasagna (5/5): Some of the best lasagna in Italy. I love this place. - Florentine steak for 2 (4/5): The steak we ordered rare, and it was delicious. I had pretty high expectations after hearing great things about the steak. It was cooked well. The only thing, because it was so large, I feel like it wasn't seasoned as well with the huge pieces. But still yummy. - Potatoes, and mushrooms (4/5): These were tasty. We were so full at this point we didn't have much of them.

In all the years of visiting Firenze, this was my first time dining at Buca Mario. Wife and I tried steak and fish entrees combined w pasta and salad. What a pleasant staff. I will return
In Florence for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary and
In Florence for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary and dined here our first night. Everyone on the staff was great and the food was delicious!
A five star fine dining experience all the way around.
With six in our party, we got to taste lots of things, and every one of them was delicious, complex in flavor, and cooked to perfection. Service is impeccable, and our waiter, Fabio, put on a beautiful performance. Seating at Buca Mario is comfortably spaced, but tables are congenially near one another. We saw most parties exchanging a kind word or an "ooh!" and a smile as a neighbor's meal arrived. The senior staff/possible owner came around at least twice to chat with guests and check on service, and the entire restaurant was filled with warmth and laughter by the end of the meal. This is an experience not to be missed...and the food is exceptional, as well.

This was my first time eating here and I had a fantastic dining experience. This classic Florentine restaurant has been open since 1886. You enter through a narrow door and go downstairs. They have multiple dining rooms and all have an intimate ambience like you are in their house. The service was friendly and impeccable. The food was outstanding and I can't wait to visit again. I would highly recommend this place. Ciao

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
