10/10Fantastic little gem - best florentine steak we had in Italy (better than in Florence’s most famous few). Magical town and beautiful Tuscany views from window.

3/10The maitre d seemed not to have any experience: he took our order but mixed up the recipients. The restaurant is awkwardly arranged and so he and the owner(?) were standing uncomfortably close to our table throughout the meal. The food was disappointing. We have a holiday home in the area but will never go back there again.

10/10Another lovely meal at La Buca, one of our favourite restaurants in Montecarlo. Beautiful starters - the beef carpaccio with fresh truffle was divine. Delicious pasta as usual. We will definitely return.

10/10The food was beautiful. Fresh authentic tuscan cuisine.. The ambience was lovely, warm and welcoming. The staff were gracious and made us feel welcome and well looked after. Everything we ate was a treat and we will definately be back. The cacciuco was exquisite.

9/10La Buca is a quaint little restaurant in the heart of Monte Carlo. The food was crazy good and the wait staff was so personable and friendly. It was like eating in a friend's home, assuming your friend is an excellent chef and does all the work for you. What a wonderful find and I'd go there again. We LOVED it.

6/10we had made a reservation and unfortunately had to eat inside, then an Italian couple who obviously hadn't made a reservation came and were allowed to eat at the terrace. When I asked why, the chef said it is an other restaurant. It's a shame the food was actually good, but it really spoiled my evening!

10/10This is a fabulous restaurant and never disappoints. The staff treat us like family and are so welcoming. The pasta is all home-made and there’s a wide selection. The fritto misto is excellent as are the ribs, cheeses, meats, pasta and my children love the ragù and always clean their plates. This is our favourite restaurant in the area.

5/10Nice venue. Small kitchen with too many outdoor tables so unable to provide quality at reasonable speed. Long wait with kids (over 1h gap between starter and main) starter was ok, main was wrongly delivered, ordered porcini and got served pioppini. The beef tartare did not look good and was sent back. the chef came to explain with a patronising approach something that was difficult to explain, the meat wasn’t just right. I took the chance to suggest what to improve :) did not appear to take it onboard. Not expecting bottura or blumenthal :) but not even such a underwhelming experience. I won’t go back.
