    We travelled to Barrie from Kingston for an occasion and decided to stop at il buco! We didn’t realize they were doing a special 3 course for $35 a person, but we are so glad they did!! Everything from the food to the atmosphere was amazing and our server was absolutely outstanding!!!!! I sadly forget her name but she rocked so hard! so personable, funny and easy going😃 will definitely be back to il buco next time we are in Barrie!

    Everything was so wonderful. Our food & drinks were delicious! Our waitress was lovely & polite. Only issue was sitting right beside the window door, there was a breeze coming through the window/door seal i and I was freezing all dinner.

    Honestly the customer service was amazing, and our waiter was great, but we just weren’t feeling the food. My husband liked the steak but didn’t think it was worth the $43. We had the spaghetti mare but it was nothing amazing. The seafood risotto was just a rice version of the spaghetti mare. The best part was the garlic goat cheese appetizer.

    This restaurant is exceptional! The service, beverages& food were all top notch and now one of my favourite restaurants in Barrie. The beef carpaccio and mussels were to die for and the special of the day, lamb shank, was delicious! Will be back again, thank you!

    Absolutely amazing dining experience. Always. I love a place where the food is unique and something I would not anticipate at just any restaurant and certainly wouldn’t make at home. Amazing as always. We come for all special events.

    Had a wonderful birthday celebration here. Started with the roasted garlic appetizer that was out of this world. Both had pasta entrees that were wonderful and finished off with a rich and creamy cheesecake. We were so happy we came here to celebrate. It was so memorable!
