**For parties of 15 or more, kindly call our Events ManagerRobert Miguel at (415) 307-5609 or email robertm@barbayanitaverna.com.** Hospitality in ancient Greece is a timeless tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its culture. In the Mediterranean, a region historically known as a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, this spirit of hospitality was not only a virtue but a sacred duty. From the early times of city-states to the present day, the people of Greece have welcomed weary travelers as if they were guests from the gods themselves. This tradition is a testament to the enduring values of generosity, kindness, and warmth that have characterized Greek society for millennia. Whether it’s a simple offering of food and shelter or the sharing of stories and experiences, the essence of Greek hospitality remains as vibrant and essential today as it was in the days of Homer’s epic tales.

    Great food, great service, a little cold temperature wise, and a little on the noisier side, so if you want, ask for a quieter table.

    The family feast is such an amazing deal, we love the delicious meals, like the ravioli and the chicken luminescent, the portions are so generous, and the service is always great. The atypical interaction tonight was that hostess who sat us was not super welcoming, she didn’t even say hello, when she saw us walk in she looked away and continued packing a bag, we usually are greeted pleasantly immediately, if busy they say they’ll be with us in a moment, so that was odd…but whatever, she may have been new or having a bad day, we’ll get over it. And it won’t stop us from coming back. Overall we always love coming to Buca’s, the food is always delicious, the portions are gigantic, the wait staff are attentive, and we just love the family friendly ambience.

    We had an exquisite Easter lunch at Osteria, our favorite place to visit while in the Palo Alto area! Wonderful service, excellent flavors, and an all around delightful experience from start to finish. There’s several good reasons why this restaurant has been going strong since 1986. Try it, and you will NOT be disappointed!
