Buca Lapi was the food highlight of our visit to Florence. Every element of the experience was excellent. First, the service was stellar from the moment we arrived. Our server, Franca, was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and professional. She helped us choose a wonderful bottle of wine (picture included) and explained the menu in great detail. Next, the food was amazing -- we loved the pasta (tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms), chicken cacciatore, and Florentine steak.. Make sure you visit this restaurant when you stay in Florence -- you won't regret it (especially if Franca is your server).

Had an amazing dinner at Buco Lapi, and they managed to squeeze us in on Friday night which was very kind! It gives off a charming and authentic vibe and the interiors are very photogenic.
We had the house red which was delightful and wanted to share each course, which the waiter understood, with each dish arriving on separate plates.
We started with the bruschetta which was delicious and made with very high quality ingredients. Then we had the soft and pillowy spincach gnocchi in a sage butter that was to die for, the gnocchi were a bit too soft for my liking, but that’s just me!
Then came the most deliciously flavoured juicy steak I’ve ever had the please of eating, it was tender and smoky, just how you want a steak to taste! Unfortunately, and the only reason I hesitate to give Buca Lapi a 5 star, is that we had asked for our steak medium rare and it came much more in the medium side… which for a €70 steak, you’d expect to have it cooked to order. Still very delicious nonetheless!

Amazing food, nicest people in all of Florence, authentic beautiful place. I ordered the braised beef with onions and polenta, and it was amazing. The house wine from Chianti is made of Syrah grapes and it goes very well with meat and in general is amazing. They have a chocolate cake for dessert, that you won’t believe it doesn’t contain any sugar, eggs or flour!!
10/10 for everything. Will come back for sure.

The food here is absolutely amazing. Staff are quick paced and food came out fast. Seatings are also comfortable.
The beef tripe is soft and soaked up all the sauces, absolutely delicious. The tomato ribbon pasta is fresh and sweet. The beef is also soft and tender, and the calelloni is very delicious as well. Everything is amazing here. Highly recommended!

A very good place to dine in Florence, all the staff very pleasant and with excellent recommendations. A word of advice: always make a reservation before going. Many thanks to the captain, especially, who was very kind both with the reservation and the service. Ciao Italia, and thank you from a Mexican.

Ottimo locale fiorentino, prezzi alti che sono fuori la logica dal mercato, si mangia bene è vero ma vorremmo che tornasse come un tempo per tutti,

Ambiente aburrido. La comida estaba bien. El servicio era adecuado. En resumen, no es algo especial. Quería un filete pero eran enormes en tamaño y costo así que pasé.
