About Buca Lapi
Historic cellar restaurant since 1880 serving bistecca alla fiorentina in a former wine cellar. Vaulted brick ceilings, Chianti bottles lining the walls, and traditional preparation. Dinner reservations required, tourist-friendly but maintains quality.
Insider Tips
Request a table in the main vaulted cellar room rather than the modern extension for the full atmospheric experience.
