    Il Buco is always an enjoyable outing. You can depend on the quality of the meals. That being said our latest meal was slightly dry as if it the main components of the meal, chicken, ravioli had been kept warm too long before having sauce added and served. Not many people dining at the time so atmosphere was calm. A place you can take friends or meet friends you haven’t seen in a while

    Our dinner experience was amazing. Our server Russell was attentive and kind. We had a birthday party of 10 and he made sure to bring dessert and sing happy birthday to the birthday girl. We had our dinner served in a timely fashion. The food was fantastic. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. We loved it and will be back. Thank you!!
