9/10Good service. The food was excellent. The only deducted point was the steak slightly overcooked. But overall 9/10

5.5/10
You cannot go wrong with a pizza in Italy, right? Wrong! Quattro formaggio was very lame, they use flavorless cheeses, I give it a 5 out of 10. Quattro stagioni was slightly better but the amount of toppings are skimpy at best, 6 minus on that one. The ambiance is very nice but the youngster staff is just going on routine and is not very attentive. They seem to have more eye for each other than clients.

8/10Very Italian, which is exactly what we wanted and expected and it was a pleasant meal for a reasonable price.

10/10This is a great spot. High quality ingredients. A LOT to choose from, and very friendly staff. We wish we had found it sooner so we could go back.

6.5/10If you are looking for really good food reasonably priced and in a great location, Buca Niccolini is your place! If you are looking for service where you feel like you are an imposition to your waiter, you can find that there too! Our server that evening just did not care about the service he gave us. Not sure if it was because we were Americans or what, but of the 10 days we were in Italy and all the restaurants we ate at, this was the only time we were treated indifferently. We noted that he seemed to care about the table on either side of us. He approached out table and asked that we give our entire order then. Had not really looked at menu or wine list, just wanted to place drink order. Had to ask for wine list back as he took it with our menus and had to ask for more olive oil as he took that away but left our bread. He was not really rude, just acted like he didn't care we were there. But great food!!!

9/10Great value for money! We took the pesto and ricotta gnocchis and the penne al salmone and it was super delicious and inexpensive relative to other comparable restaurants. Nice terrace and quick service also! Overall great experience!

What could be more beautiful? We sat chomping into the most delicious Florentine steak, with a view of the Duomo - amazing. The waiting staff were attentive, but gave us space to enjoy our food. We would certainly recommend this restaurant. Great choice of dishes and great service.

7/10The T-bone steak was the best value and very good, the pizza was ok, very thin like a cracker and not like neopolaton style pizza. Our server was a young girl who had no expression and never smiled, weird vibe for sure! On a better note, the bar next store owned by same owner was cute and had some nice drinks.

3.5/10Our server was rude. The food was okay but not a true representation of Italian cuisine. Reminded me more of what I would get in the United States.

4/10we made reservation from the fork. It says 20 percent discount，menu fisso and drinksnot included. However，we did not order menu fisso but they only give us 10 percent discount. The corpeto is 5 Euro a testa，i am living here for 3 years and havent being charged for that much！food average.It is a scam！！

6/10It was a bit of a disappointment. It looks like much of the facility is beautiful, but we were put in a bar area away from the lively basement and main restaurant. The food was largely fine - I had a good pizza. My son liked his. Just nothing really special, probably made worse by being inside in a room with lots of mosquitos, and barely any service. It’s probably better than average for being right next to a major tourist attraction. And it is well priced and not expensive. But don’t expect much more than that. Perhaps the other seating areas are better!

8.5/10We had a very nice meal. Beautiful atmosphere. Food was very nice. We were a little spoiled by an outstanding meal the night before, so we gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

6.5/10Lovely sitting in view of the Duomo. Food was not fantastic as expected, fairly average pizza and pasta dishes. We had to ask for bread. We had to ask for black pepper. The Americans next to us seemed to be really impressed, but we had better food in other restaurants this weekend

5/10Food was cold when served and the manager sent a waitress over to apologise. Then had to wait for hot food and not even a sorry and we will not charge you hit something g. Very poor show and food when it did arrive very average.
Buca Niccolini • Owner
Dear Alexander, this is totally unfair. You had spaghetti with meat balls and happened that meat balls, and not the entire dish, were a bit cold in the middle. Of course we replaced it with a new one and we apologize and of course it took time to prepare a new one. I came directly to bring you the new plate and came to you several times to know if everything was correct at that point. We gave you free limoncello in the end to apologize even more and now you wrote this review...
