Beoordelingen
Buca Lapi is a perfect balance between good food, nice place and comfort. I really like this restaurant. Steak Fiorentina is always done very well. The way it should be. Tasty. Smokey. And pastas options here are amazing. Try the pappardelle cinghiale. Today they had amazing porcini mushroom pappardelle. Service is fast. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thumbs up!
This is my absolutely special place in Florence - the steak is the best you can find in town, the staff is professional and the owner Luciano is super generous, kind and charismatic. p.s. chocolate dessert is highly recommended
Florentine Steak Dinner in a Beautiful Historic Setting We had a wonderful dinner at Buca Lapi and it ended up being one of our favourite dining experiences in Florence. We ordered the Bistecca alla Fiorentina with sautéed spinach, paired with a lovely Chianti Classico. The steak was excellent — beautifully charred on the outside, tender and juicy inside, with that rich, smoky flavour that makes Florentine steak so special. Simple, high-quality ingredients done properly. The spinach was the perfect accompaniment and the Chianti complemented the meal beautifully. The venue itself is amazing, full of old-world charm and character with a warm, historic atmosphere that made the evening feel extra special. The restaurant was busy but in a very pleasant way — mostly smaller tables of 2–4 people which created a relaxed and intimate dining vibe without feeling overly loud or chaotic. Service throughout the evening was warm, polished and attentive. We finished the night with a lovely limoncello which was the perfect end to the meal. A very popular spot and understandably so — reservations are highly recommended.
Loved it. Was below ground level, so you have no use for your phone the entire dinner, other than for taking photos. Service was excellent, food was fantastic. Loved the cannoloni, the poached pear and the steak. Though raw wasn't my thing. Highly recommend a reservation as they do get crowded.
Went here in March of 2026, I had the steak and some mashed potatoes, safe to say it was very good. Cooked perfectly and went well with the sides. The worker was very polite and efficient. But don’t eat to much bread if you are having there famous steaks! Would give this place a BRO recommendation.
