"We frequently dine at this restaurant. The food is consistently good, and the waitstaff really wants to make sure that everything is perfect for you. Do try the eggplant parm--it is the best!"

"The more, the merrier. Great for two, but the more in your party, the better it gets. Family Style Dining. You order dishes, and they are served on a serving platter for all to enjoy. The food is excellent. I love the Garlic Mashed Potatoes and the salad with the cranberries. You can reserve a table right in the kitchen."

"We request the kitchen everytime we visit Buca. There is only one table in the kitchen (seats 5 comfortably)and you get treated to a little behind the scenes action. As the servers go past you, you are shown the dishes they are bringing to other diners - it's a great way to decide something looks good enough to order! The food is wonderfully prepared and presented. We now order small orders because we have too many favorites that we cant go without! Definitely something for everyone."

"It was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restuarant. I had made the reservations on Open Table weeks ago and asked for a private room, specifically the Pope Room if available because it was my dad's suprise 65th birthday. The day of the reseravation, I called and spoke to Smona (I belive was how you pernounced her name), to confirm the reservation & let her know 5 out of my 8 guests will be arriving about 10 minutes early to be seated. When I arrived with my mom & dad, the hostest told me that the rest of our party was in the bar, giving away the suprise that someone else was there. When we got to the table the waitress asked if we were celebrating anything special...sigh...I ordered salad, bread, & apts continued below"

"4 ppl, reservation time 7:45 pm. The restaurant was packed and we were seated next to a large table with crying children. It took a long time to get our order taken, then the food took a long time to get served, the pasta meal was cold. The pasta was hard, probably not cooked enough. The beer ordered was warm, told the waiter and he came back with another glass of beer and it still was the same. Overall we had a poor experience at this restaurant."
