About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Fancy
Great for fine wines

Buca Osteria & Bar is more than an Italian restaurant. In the spirit of the widely celebrated first location of Buca on King Street, the outpost in the heart of Yorkville is a place to be inspired by the innovation of the restaurant’s creative, artisanal fare, rooted in Italian tradition. Buca Osteria & Bar offers a broad selection of fresh and impeccably prepared seafood, in addition to their much loved pizzas, pastas, and cured fish. Executive Chef Jorge Fiestas creates an authentic Italian seafood cuisine. Buca has consistently been celebrated for using the freshest, carefully selected ingredients. Featuring sophisticated décor and an open-concept kitchen, the restaurant’s warmth and attention to detail stand out, both in environment and ingredients.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jorge Fiestas

From the OpenTable editors: The Yorkville outpost of celebrated Italian restaurant Buca delivers its signature housemade pastas and Roman-style pizzas while adding a seafood focus. The restaurant’s polished dining room and open kitchen exude sophistication, while whole raw branzino—a must-order that’s nimbly carved tableside—adds theatrical flair to the experience.

I had high expectations for this place as I made a reservation in advance for a special occasion – my partner's birthday. While booking, I specifically noted that it was a birthday and kindly requested any special touch the restaurant could offer to help make the evening memorable. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgement of the occasion at all – no greeting, no simple gesture, nothing to show they had seen or considered the request. It was disappointing, especially when many other restaurants go the extra mile even with just a small candle or a few kind words. The food was fine and the atmosphere was nice, but the lack of attention to a clearly mentioned special request left us with a less-than-special feeling on what should have been a celebratory evening.

Overall not the best visit compare in the past. First air conditioning was not working it was too hot. Service missed a mark. Then you order $200 and have to pour yourself it’s embarrassing. Octopus was the highlight it was so tender and juicy. Crudo was served warm wish it was more chilled. For $600 expected more.

A manager or the guy is responsible for food and service for 1 of 10. He looks like he is a manager.

Food was a little cold. Wines were overpriced. Lobster pasta was ok, but not worth the premium price. It should be priced at 30 to 40 CAD given the quantity of meat and portion. Sauce was good though. Squid pasta was well priced and excellent. Two cocktails and tiramisu we had were great. Customer service was excellent and attentive. Place was a little loud at times.

The food was decent but the service was extremely poor. We waited so long for each course to be served. I don’t understand why our main courses came one at a time instead of all in one like the other tables. For eg. we ordered a pizza and a pasta but they came one at a time with an extremely long wait in between which made me not even hungry anymore. Asking for the bill was also another long wait. Honesty didn’t want to give 18% tips but the server was standing right beside us and looking while we were tipping… I initially wanted to try their tiramisu but didn’t end up ordering bc I was sick of the wait😅😅
