La Buchetta Food & Wine 2 is the sister location of the well-regarded La Buchetta Food & Wine Restaurant in Florence's Centro Storico, located at Borgo Santa Croce 11r. It ranks around #20 of 2,500+ Florence restaurants on Tripadvisor and is praised as a cozy hidden gem set in a historic former wine cellar. Reviewers consistently highlight warm, personal service, a curated wine list with expert pairings, and a charming 'wine window' (buchetta del vino).

Expect roughly €50–100 per person.
