This was our first time at Il Buco and we were delighted. The welcome was warm, the service and the food were both excellent. There is a good variety of options and with a Sicilian chef it is genuinely Italian, great flavours and well presented. We loved the mussels, the veal mare and monti and the chicken Marsala. If you are a first time visitor it is a little difficult to find; there is ample parking at the rear entrance in the parking lot to the north of Simcoe St. near the Bayfield St end and there is an elevator if needed but you need to ask for the code to enter that part of the building.

We have been to ll buco a few times. Nothing but good food and service always. We went last night for New Year's Eve, our waitress was lovely, very attentive to anything we needed, always came around to check in on us. The food was great as always. We were slightly disappointed on the shrimp and calamari appetizer as it was smaller than we thought to share for 5 people. 2 out the 5 guests had their evening special. 10/10 amazing !! Overall, thank you for a lovely evening and being so welcoming and kind to not only us but our daughter as well.
