La Buchetta's Angel and Devil Gnocchi dish is in my top 3 favorite meals I've ever eaten. Every time I've been to Florence I make sure to stop here and as much as I want to try more dishes on their menu the gnocchi is so good that I have to get it. The Maso Furli Sauvignon blanc wine was very good and my husband got a few different dishes and he said all the food he tried was great and his experience here is also in his top 10 food experiences. Service here is also great, the waiters really try and understand what food and wine would be best for your palate and they're always willing to give recommendations for things to do around Florence. At the end of the meal they even gave us a complimentary dessert and limoncello. read more

Food was the best we had in Florence! We made a reservation a couple of months in advance and went all out. We had both pasta and the florentine steak with great wine and started with antipasti and ended with dessert. It was more pricey but only because we did so much food and wine. We would tell everyone to go there. The servers were super interactive and you could tell they love what they do. read more

What matched the amazing food was the waiters! Loved them and they made our experience so great! We went to the second location which was chiller and was able to accommodate larger parties. Better for those who might be hard of hearing. read more

The waiter was super kind! We had an unforgettable experience in Florence! The Florentine steak was juicy & beautiful to experience, the iced tea was good and the place has history which makes it even more enticing! read more

The place was awesome. The meat delicious I found this place by chance when I was waiting for the wife. I called and made a reservation they have 2 locations not far from one another but be aware. We ordered the Florentine steak which was very very good. Also ordered risotto, and salad potato's on the side with a few drinks. This is on level of Ruth's Chris caliber steak. We very much enjoyed the atmosphere and the meal. If we return to Florence again we definitely will be eating here again. Went to another restaurant closer to our Airbnb and it was not as good. They dry aged the steak better it shows in quality texture and flavor read more

Probably hands down the BEST gnocchi I have had in Italy.. over all great food all around! Even though they give you bread as a starter, we ordered the Bruschetta con Mozzarella and it did not disappoint something just made it different than other bruschetta's I've had in the past! Like I said, the Gnocchi Angeli e Domoni was the best we have had in Italy, not just Florence either.. the flavors are exquisite! We also had the Pici Special which is very cool & something unique solely to La Buchetta.. they put the whole pasta in a cheese wheel then grate fresh truffle on top with pepper. Very filling, but the flavor was yummy we couldn't help but clean our plates! Paulo was the one who took care of us, and had it not been for us feeling so full we would've gotten dessert! However, we over heard another customer that said the cheesecake is to die for! So maybe leave room for the dessert & try the cheesecake or whatever your server recommends :) Can't wait for our next visit back already; this place will send you into a delicious food coma! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The price is well worth the quality of food! read more

An incredible and magical experience here in Florence. I found this place by accident after a quick search on google maps for a steakhouse. We made a quick reservation via phone (which wasn't necessary per se on a Thursday night at 7:30pm) and were kindly greeted once we arrived. From the moment we arrived, the service was unmatched. Our waiter was extremely kind, chatty, and provided a ton of great suggestions from the menu. The food was a 12/10. Simple. Try it out for yourself. Literally the best gnocchi I've had in my life. Beyond the incredible food (they have a great menu with amazing options), the service really made this experience above and beyond. Our waiter chatted with us about our hometown, recommendations in Italy and beyond, and so much more. We are so appreciative of this great experience! Please do yourself a favor and get some dinner here; your Florence experience will be that much better! Grazie Mille! read more

La Buchetta - Gnocchi, wine, and steak - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

small cute place with personable service and one of my favorite meals in our two week stay in Italy. Probably a good idea to make a reservation like other reviewers said. We were there on a weds night and they had to turn some walkins away. We had the caprese salad, blue cheese ravioli (soo good and I'm not a blue cheese person), 700g bone in ribeye, potatoes and asparagus, a whiskey sour and an old fashion. I would definitely recommend this place. We also ate at the more touristy trattoria d'all oste for comparison, also good but we got the wagu there so naturally the steak was more tender but the bill was also more than double. Overall when it comes to taste, and service and ambiance, I'd recommend la buchetta. read more

When in Florence, it is a requirement that all meat lovers find a place to get a good Florentine steak. La Buchetta provided me with an amazing experience. Amicable staff along with great attention to detail gave me an extremely pleasant dining experience. The Florentine steak is served rare, which I personally love. Even if you are someone who enjoys your steak medium to well-done, I would still recommend giving this a go. Both of our main dishes (truffle spaghetti and Florentine steak) were prepared table-side. Cool atmosphere once in the restaurant, seems to be located on a fairly minor street, not the type of place you randomly stumble across. I would assume it is necessary to call for a reservation, we did about a week in advance and were not able to eat until 10pm. Also be aware, no English menu, however the waiters speak good English and can provide you with all the information you need. read more

Had dinner with my family and our dinner was terrific... Our Steaks were cooked to order and our server was wonderful and attentive.... Though I have been here a couple of times before it was my first time eating inside the restaurant... We had a corner table near the back of the restaurant and even though we were near the kitchen/serving area, we barely noticed the servers coming/going.. Just a wonderful evening with great food and family... and the wine was excellent... read more

This place is awesome went twice lunch and now year eve while I was staying in Florence highly recommended

This is a very small restaurant, they do not have tables outside or an obnoxious host trying to lure you in with their ridiculously large menu. This is a tiny if you blink you miss it place. But if you do you'll be sorry. We were fortunate at stumbled across this place mid day, no reservations. They were able to seat us (party of 2). The menu is hand written and in Italian. Don't worry the waitstaff is very patient and they help you order and choose your wine. The experience was wonderful from the greeting to the check I would recommend this place when you in Rome. Make a reservation if you want dinner here. Gratzi! read more

Best gnocchi that I've ever had! So delicious that I came back another day to get it again because all the other restaurants I tried didn't compare and I wanted to end my Florence trip on a good note. The potatoes, truffle pasta, and cheesecake were also 5 star items. The cheesecake was so light and scrumptious. Other solid dishes included the bruschetta, beef tartare, and the ribeye steak Didn't care too much for the la buchetta pici, filet mignon, or the chocolate cake dessert. Christian was a fabulous waiter. He gave great recommendations, was a caring and attentive waiter, and had a wonderful personality. Part of the reason we came back was the food, part of the reason was because of him. read more

We went to La Buchetta about three weeks ago on our Italian vacation. Oh my gosh!! I can't stop thinking about how delicious it was, and honestly, a great experience all around. The food was AMAZING! Scrumptious! We shared some side dishes, pasta and the dry aged ribeye seen in the photo. I think it was aged something like 42 days. Needless to say, it melted on the palette. The pasta was cooked and finished table side by our server who swirled it around on the pecorino wheel until it was all cheesy and ready to serve. No matter how full you are, don't skip out on the cheesecake. read more

Sad to be the only one who didn't care much for this place. The meat was super chewy, so hard to eat. Besides that, the steak was bland. The little olive oil, salt, & pepper mixture did not help. This was our most expensive dinner while in Florence and it was our least favorite. Service was good. Restaurant was cute. read more

Two stores are great. Waiter, food and wine are the best in town aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

We visited the second location as we were early for dinner and did not have a reservation. It was a bit awkward as there was no one else there when we arrived and I rather felt we were interrupting a private staff meeting (they open at noon and we arrived around 6). The ravioli were amazing, the osso bucco very good, and the steak tartare great quality but less flavorful than I might have liked. There was something less welcoming than some of the other places we've been but the food is very good and absolutely worth an evening! read more

Tried this place on a recommendation from a friend and wow did it live it up to the hype. Reserved a table months in advance before coming to Florence (I would recommend you do the same). The place already had a lineup right at opening (mostly people with reservations, so not really a concern). Once you get inside, it feels like an Italian trattoria with countless wine bottles on the wall. Started off with a bottle of their house wine which was excellent. Our table ordered the Angels and Demons Gnocchi and the Pici Special. Both were well done but the Angels and Demons was definitely the standout dish. While the Pici Special had truffles (which is always great), the Gnocchi just had so many different flavours that each bite was completely different and surprising (definitely a must get). We also ordered a Florentine steak with a couple of vegetable sides. The steak was cooked medium rare to perfection with a nice side of flaky salt that allowed you to control your salt levels. Finished off with a tiramisu to share and complimentary shots of Limoncello. Overall just a great dining experience in Florence especially if you want to experience Florentine steak and great pasta. Definitely make that reservation now if you have a trip coming up! read more

We loved here so much that we had to return for a second visit the next day. The picci pasta was my personal favorite but the star of the restaurant was the aged T-bone steak. Hospitality the ambience, the decor, the waiter. All were 10 out of 10 stars. I had to stop myself from going back a third time. Elton, our waiter, was as passionate about the food as we were, and made us enjoy the experience at a different level. All locally sourced ingredients!!!! read more

Best restaurant we've experienced in Florence! The Florentine steak was excellent. We tried a few places and it was best here. It was perfectly dry-aged. Also the truffle pasta with table-side presentation was fun. The truffle was the best we've tasted in Florence. Fresh truffle.... Benjamin let us smell it before preparing the dish table side. The buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad was delicious and cheese was so soft! It was like ice cream. Hats off to Benjamin who was the best server and host. We dined there for nearly 3 hours and had the best time with him. read more

Food service and atmosphere was beyond my wildest expectations! We were tired of the fare on our cruise ship so my niece who had done a study abroad in Florence, recommended we try this restaurant in Florence. Reservations are recommended, if not required, and were easy to get via their online reservation system. My niece said she would've eaten here every day if she could've afforded it - but as a student....it was a an occasional splurge! I got the gnocchi per my sister's recommendation and truly....my mouth is watering now just thinking about it! I think it was called "Diablo" - it was so creamy, and cheesy, and the bacon on top was salty and crunchy....with just a tiny bit of "heat" from some pepper? If you're in Florence...JUST GO! Mangia! read more

I was super excited to try this restaurant in Florence given all the amazing reviews. We were initially so happy we came as the service was so welcoming and impeccable. True to our experiences in Italy, the wine options were also unbeatable with a good glass of chianti for about 4-5 euros. Other peoples' amazing reviews started to be suspicious and unreliable when I had a piece of the bread for the table. Like how can you screw up bread? We couldn't even salvage it with olive oil, balsamic vinegar or cheese. It was possibly the worst bread I had ever tasted in a restaurant or someone else's home. My friend makes better homemade bread. Thus, I was not surprised that the gnocchi we ordered, though looked amazing, was also lackluster. The steak with truffle lacked taste as well. We thought it was maybe our fault for asking it to be done a little more than rare... Truly, I would give the food and the bread a combined score of a 2, but given how great and friendly the wait staff was, I felt compelled to reward them for their impeccable service. read more

Reserved a table one month in advance preparing for Italy vacation. I did a lot of research, many late night YouTube videos later settled on La Buchetta and boy were we glad!!! One glitch that may have been a communication error. I emailed to make reservation for 8pm and was confirmed by restaurant yet when we got there we were told they don't make 8pm reservations, they had us down for 7pm. They did however accommodate us and aside from leaving us sitting for about ten minutes without service, the remainder of the evening was magical. We did not order an appetizer, I was too anxious to try the pasta in cheese wheel. It was tremendous! The waiter gave us a thorough history of this dish which is made from a local pecorino, not parmagano wheel, creamier and richer in taste. Secondly we ordered the Florentine steak which they brought to the table and weighed it out for us. I do not eat steak much and definitely would not opt for rare (raw really) meat, however, this was the exception! I did have them cook it a bit more after husband chose his lightly seared pieces. Nevertheless this is the place to get your cheese wheel past and Bistecca when in Florence!!! Our dinner ended with a complimentary cheesecake for our 26th anniversary married together for these many years of happiness. This is not American cheesecake, the waiter told us the chef stumbled upon this way of serving cheesecake warm, light, and airy. I don't like steak or cheesecake and LOVED them here! Staff were all amazing, just a wonderful experience all around despite the first couple of glitches they more than made up for it. If in Florence, make your reservation and go NOW! read more

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious! The service was great!

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants from our time in Italy. It was a night and experience to remember. I will say we contemplated getting the Florentine steak because we were trying to be budget conscious, but the experience was more than worth the price. They show you your cut of meat before and weigh it for you. I recommend sharing a pasta starter,getting the steak and then the cheesecake for dessert. You cannot go wrong with those three course as they are all unforgettable. read more
