Descend into Buca Lapi, a vaulted Florentine cellar hung with vintage posters. Settle in for a classic Tuscan dinner of steak, pasta and regional wine.

📖

Full description

Buca Lapi is a basement restaurant with vaulted ceilings and vintage posters, serving traditional Tuscan dishes alongside regional wines. It advertises itself as the oldest restaurant in Florence, dating to 1880, a claim at least one reviewer treats with scepticism.

Guests praise the Fiorentina steak, the pastas, the cannelloni and the poached pear, and the below-ground setting makes the evening feel secluded. Rated 4.5 across more than 1,000 reviews, with expensive pricing, it is an evening-only choice for couples that rewards attention to the old-world atmosphere.
