Housed in the 16th-century cellars of Palazzo Niccolini, Buca Mario embodies the spirit of Florence’s historic “buche”—ancient underground retreats once used for storing fine meats and wines. Beneath its signature vaulted brick ceilings, the Pasquetti family manages this “time machine” of excellence, serving handmade pasta, premium meats, and a cellar of legendary vintages. Located at Piazza degli Ottaviani 16r, the restaurant blends rustic charm with high-end exclusivity, featuring a private dining room with a separate entrance for maximum discretion. It remains a definitive Florentine experience, where timeless elegance meets the authentic flavors of the Tuscan hills.
