We were in Florence for 6weeks and lunched at La Buchetta several times. The food and ambience is excellent and the owner Paulo and his wife made us feel so welcome. A "must" place to dine in Florence. The historic Palazzo is beautiful and should be viewed. More

Food in this place is amazing, is cozy, flavourful and creative. I had one of the best ducks of my life in La Buchetta. However, is not the food that make this place really amazing, is their warm and efficient staff. They knew we were in honeymoon and prepared a special desert for us as a gift. Really nice gesture!

My husband and i visited our son who is studying in Florence. We were most fortunate to have had two wonderful dinners at this restaurant which is situated just a few doors from his apartment. Intimate, attractive and lively and not at all touristy. We enjoyed the lovely food and warm service and the owner, Paolo, made us feel like... More

The service was good especially with the personal touch of hosts. The food was delicious and the wines recommended excellent. We enjoyed the warm up after dinner and liked the fact that the customers were Florentines. We were told that they also serve before dinner drinks and have brunch on Sundays. Compared to a lot of other places in Florence... More

For someone who has lived over 4 years in Florence, a place La Buchetta really came to rescue last year. Its very non-Florentine atmosphere (in a good way!), amazing staff and delicious selection of wines and food make it a perfect aperitivo/early night place to relax and socialize with friends. Despite of its location at the end of the 'American... More

My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Florence, and we stumbled upon La Buchetta Cafe quite serendipitously, as it turns out. The owners - Paolo and Gabriella - are gracious and welcoming, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. On our last night in Florence, we returned to La Buchetta and had a... More

I can't do justice by trying to top the other reviews written here (who said people have lost the ability to write well!), so I'll just tell you my experience and impressions. I happened upon this fantastic little restaurant in the midst of a three-week solo trip through France, Italy and Greece. In a trip of many highlights, this was... More

Went in for a nice glass of wine and left enchanted. Returned the next night for dinner. The food was excellent - be adventurous - you will be rewarded. The 2004 San Polo Brunello was scrumptous; however, the Sauvignon Blanc from Northern Italy was the hit of the evening. If you meet the owners, a husband and wife team, strike... More

My sister and I dined repeatedly at this wonderful, quiet, friendly and homely little restaurant simply because the experience was well worth repeating and the chairs were comfortable. The menu was limited but interesting. When we found that crepes were not on the menu they made them for us anyway! I was impressed by the Burgundy wine previously unknown to... More
