As a first time visitor to Florence and someone who booked
As a first time visitor to Florence and someone who booked a reservation at Buca Lapi exactly 30-days out (which is the furthest they will confirm) I wanted to love my experience there from the beginning. We just visited tonight (Wednesday) and we're going solely for the bistecca a la fiorentina as a final night celebration dinner. The restaurant and ambiance look exactly as shown on the internet. Unfortunately, I found many of the reviews of the food and service to be an exaggeration. My wife and I ordered the house wine, which is not on any menu but excellent along with the bistecca for two, roasted potatoes and the sautรฉed spinach. While the potatoes and spinach were both excellent and the better part of the meal, the steak did not live up to expectations. We received an extremely fatty cut of bistecca. The two separate slabs cut by our waiter left each my wife and I with essentially an 8-10 oz. Piece of meat from what was advertised as a 2Kg steak. What was edible was good, despite being more on the rare side than requested. However, it's hard to justify the $140 euro price when half of what you pay for is discarded as bone and inedible fat grizzle. There are surely better restaurants of the hundreds serving bistecca in the city center offering better value for the price including those offering traditional chianina beef which Buca Lapi does not (they serve Marchigiana breed). Our waiter was largely non-existent or particularly engaging with us at all other than to take the order and deliver food. He was not helpful in selecting the single or two person steak, nor did we get steaks presented to us before or after ordering as some reviews suggest is commonplace. Overall ok/good but not great. Likely many better options for the price and wouldn't go back.

Since 1880 Buca Lapi has been a part of Florence, the vaulted Palazzo Antinori cellar lined in posters while formally dressed servers play well to crowds comprised mostly of tourists seeking an "Authentic" Tuscan meal. Maintained through slow restoration, old lampshades scribbled with the names of visitors adding to its charm, diners will find white tablecloths plus an extensive Wine list from which Reds such as house Chianti are more pricey than similar local eateries. The oldest Restaurant in town, and arguably the most straightforward, all tables begin with basic Bread followed by Antipasti including Salads or Soup and Charcuterie including warm Liver on Toast. Known to make all Pastas on-site, Pappardelle with Wild Boar Ragu frankly underseasoned while signature Cannelloni eat richer thanks to Cheese and Cream, most tables will splurge for โฌ70 Bistecca alla Fiorentina served Rare while Veal Meatballs are overworked and forgettable.

We walked in with perfectly good money and decent clothing and we were turned away by the old guy. Yes, they had tables available. A member of my party went back in to ask if we could make a reservation for tomorrow and she was going to seat us but he gave the throat cutting motion to her not to seat us. The food may be good but the service is clearly exclusive.

Buca Lapi is an upscale, frills restaurant catered toward an exceptional fine dining experience. Our favorite part of Buca Lapi was being greeted by the owner upon arrival, as well as, having extremely attentive service. We had one of the best waiters named Giuseppe. It was fascinating to watch him gracefully move around his section serving his tables. Unfortunately, I think we dined in Buca Lapi on an off night. We heard they were known to have one of the best Florentine Steaks in the city. Naturally, always trying to find the best when we travel, we made a reservation weeks in advance. Our excited anticipation quickly fell short. The steak did not live up to its legendary write ups. Maybe, if we hadn't had a perfect Florentine Steak a few nights prior, we would have been wow'd. However, I'm not so sure. The steak we were served had a great open flamed charred marking and flavor, but it was very overcooked and unsalted. Traditionally, Florentine Steaks should be served more on the rare side. This was a flat medium tip toeing on medium well side. My husband and I are not ones to complain while at a restaurant, especially one that has as much critical acclaim as Buca Lapi. For every steak served, the waiters would cut it off the bone for the customers. In our opinion, this meant that this was how they serve their Florentine Steak. Their representation. Which, let me note, was not awful. It was just not the best Florentine Steak in Florence that week. After we left, we wondered why they served it to us. Maybe, they thought because we were tourists we wouldn't know the difference? I'm not sure and do not want to pass a judgement like that, however, for the cost of our meal we did feel a bit taken advantage of. Ultimately, I'm hoping that this was just a fluke of a night! On a positive endnote, my husband loved their pici pasta and I just loved their vibe. (:

It's located in a cellar & decorated with old poster shellacked on the ceiling. Without a doubt, the best steak I've ever had. The service from the waiter. I had was outstanding. He explained the pastas to my wife, and told her what to order. He got her a glass of wine, even though she didn't want one complimentary. The steak was absolutely outstanding,. The pasta out of this world . When you put the entire experience together, if you were in Florence and you missed his restaurant you made a mistake. Btw, the oldest restaurant in Florence

5 but really a magical place all around. Welcoming, professional service (which is rare in Italy)....sublime food (even the mixed salad was heaven)....and the Bistecca.....pure bliss!! Really cool dรฉcor and ambience as well. A must-visit for sure!
Be the first to ReplyThis is a great find.
You definitely need reservations. They have an amazing selection of different types of meats, rabbit, veal, etc.. We had pastas and the chickpea kale soup, which was phenomenal. The chocolate torte was very rich, but amazing. Staff was absolutely wonderful. It was our first night in Florence and a perfect, first night dinner. The restaurant is adorable downstairs and the wall murals and decor great.
Be the first to ReplyFlorentine steak!! That's the only thing to get at Buca
Florentine steak!! That's the only thing to get at Buca Lapi. We ordered steak for two and the portion was MASSIVE! They don't ask how you want it cooked so we just got it as it comes. And let me tell you - it comes rare! We loved the roasted potatoes as well but honestly just the meat and complimentary bread would have been plenty. Get the house wine! Delicious, full body and smooth at only 20 or 22 euro, I can't remember exactly. I recommend making reservations far in advance because it fills up fast!

Buca Lapi is an amazing authentic Florentine food experience. The staff is prompt and professional. They are truly there to make sure you have the best local cuisine. The bistecca and tripe florentine were so delicious. The table side preparation of the insalata mista was a nice touch. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. I do recommend reservation. Buon Appetito!
Be the first to ReplyGreat ambiance in a cellar atmosphere.
Server was very nice. Lots of food. Known for steaks, but pastas were very nice as well. Good wine list. Definitely recommend. Quick note: Apple Maps put us on wrong end of block, so keep looking on other end of block.
