    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.

    The 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.

    Our 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.

    We are sorry for your review, which is in stark contrast to the others we receive every day.

    we 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!!

    Dear customer we are very sorry for your review. Every day we put heart and passion into what we do and the others reviews we receive prove it.

    It 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!

    We 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.

    Lovely 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

    Food 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 NiccoliniOwner

    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...

    We couldn’t decide on what we wanted to de decided to order a lot. Everything was amazing. The Lasagna was our favorite, but the Gnocci, mussels, and carbonara were fantastic as well.

    Okay. But really doesn’t deserve its great reviews for gluten free pizza. My base was very bready and I’ve had much better elsewhere.

    Welcoming, lovely waiting staff. Food was safe to eat as a coeliac and the restaurant was able to provide gluten-free and milk-free, which was great. We both had pizza and they were nice, but not exceptional. Good to know that we'd eaten safely though.

    We have been there more than a few times and all the servers are excellent! The food, breakfast, lunch and dinner, is some of the best we have had in Italy (this is our 7th visit over 4 decades)! The prices may be just a little more expensive than comparable restaurants; however, when factoring in everything mentioned above, definitely affordable. Highly recommended!
