"This was my 2nd time to Buca's in Whitehall. I live in Washington DC. and my family was celebrating in Allentown Pa. The Buca's in Whitehall made me visit the one in Dc where I was disappointed. The service by Colin was exceptional. I have an awnry family and Colin was calm, happy, and eager to please. He never blinked twice when we were difficult. We are a family of good eaters. The food couldn't have been more perfectly cooked. My mother can barely eat anything and was so happy to enjoy the ravioli. I had the eggplant, my son had spaghetti with the biggest meatballs you've ever seen. We all shared a cesar salad that was fresh. Even my son loved the salad. There isn't enough room here to fawn over all they great food and service."

"Celebrated 2 birthdays. Staff was very accomadating, helpful, and nice. Shown to our table immediately. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Greeted by our waitress right away whom was very attentive, kind, and knowledgable of the menu items. She assisted in helping us order the appropriate amount of food for our table. The food was OK. The 2 chicken dishes were very good. The penne vodka and the fettuccine Alfredo lacked flavor. Our overall service was prompt and effecient. Definetly would go again, maybe not order the same pasta."

"The food was wonderful. Our server was sweet and kept our food well spaced out. The only complaint we had was that our table was too small for a party of 6 and the noise level was pretty high. We had to practically shout at each other to have a conversation. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely come back to Buca!"

"It is always a great time a Buca. It was a little noisy...but we were having a girl's night out so...we were too. Although we had a nice horseshoe seating table...there wasn't much room on the table for the appetizers and meals along with drinks etc. Our service was great. The artwork does not offend me at all, but I have a friend who would be hesitant to bring her kid's there because of some of the nudity. We have taken our 3 year old son there and I don't think he even noticed...and I don't think it is a huge deal anyway. They have reduced there coupon from $10 off of $30 to $5 off of $30...wish they had a tiered coupon. $5/$30...$10/$60...$20/$100 or more."

"Ran out of bread when we first arrived...thought it was a temporary problem, but no. No bread for anyone the entire hour we were there. The flatbread they tried to send out was horrible. Service was super slow. I wish this place could get their act together, as we always have problems at this location but not at any others."

"Brought my sons in for spaghetti. A birthday meal. We ordered the large bowl of spaghetti with meatballs. The pasta was topnotch and the meatballs were enjoyable. We also ordered the small bruschetta. It needed a little seasoning on it but was still tasty. The server brought us a small loaf of italian bread for us to dip in the oil she also brought out. A nice touch. She was friendly, thoughtful and attentive. We used a $10 off coupon which was certainly helpful for a single dad. Overall, an enjoyable experience and would easily return."

"Food was OK - certainly nothing special. Noise level was downright loud. While restaurant is great for kids, seemed like we were the only ones without children under the age of 8. Only food issue was that the restaurant was completely out of bread - no bread for the table, could not order garlic or any other menu item that involved bread - seemed unacceptable for an Italian restaurant."
