About Buca Mario
Traditional cellar restaurant since 1886 specializing in bistecca alla fiorentina and classic Tuscan antipasti. White-tablecloth service, formal atmosphere, and proper meat preparation. Dinner reservations recommended, expect €60-70 per person.
Insider Tips
Start with the crostini misti (mixed liver crostini platter) before the bistecca - it's the proper Florentine sequence and paces the meal.
