We had a very poor experience at this location. We made a reservation and it took 15 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was not crowded at all. We ordered as soon as we were able and the food took about an hour to come out, and it was lukewarm. The portions were small (3 small pieces of chicken for a serving size of 3-4 people) and the menu was over priced ($27 for 3-4 servings of pasta with red sauce). Our waitress was kind, but perhaps very new? Ordering drinks was difficult as she did not seem to understand what we were asking for, and she told us the restaurant does not currently have a bartender. I absolutely would not recommend this restaurant as a place for good Italian food. I was expecting Mangianno’s-like fare. We would have been better off going to Olive Garden.

There was no one at the hostess stand when we arrived. We had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Then no one waited on us for another 15 minutes. After our order was finally taken, we didn’t get our drinks for another 15 minutes, and the waitress informed us that they were out of lasagna. ( we ordered antipasto salad, lasagna and 3 meatballs). Our waitress told us to choose something else. So we ordered rigatoni. No refills on drinks. Salad took another 30 minutes to be brought to the table. Then only 2.5 meatballs and the waitress stated they were out of meatballs. The food was good. No problem there but the service was terrible. I’ve been coming to Bucas for over 36 Years. Worst service ever. I’ve never been treated so badly. It was so disappointing.

Buca has really been improving in the last year! They went through a slump with food quality and service for a while but they’re back! Our last 2 trips there were fantastic. Food was brought out quickly, delicious. The pizza is back to the way it was when they first opened. Drinks (we got sangria and old fashioned) were delicious. My husband loves the spicy shrimp and we all love the fried mozzarella. Service was excellent. Our server, Kiki was super nice and helpful. Downtown Columbus has grown a lot in the last 25 years and there are a lot of great restaurants, but Buca will always be special to my family.

Has really gone downhill. No draft, many menu items not available. The waitress kept saying the menu was new, and then would tell us items were no longer on it. Long delays for basic items like the meatball and spaghetti. The chicken limone had no flavor. They had one other party, but other than that did not appear to be busy. Many excuses, but no visit from a manager to apologize, just seems like no one cares about the customers. One person in our party as there for a business lunch and had the same waitress, so the excuse of a new menu was just that an excuse.

Was never offered a refill till I had a check in my hand. Server came to the table a total of 4 times in an almost 2 hour horrid experience. I waited almost 20 minutes after asking for a box. Waited 45 minutes after getting my food to ask for said box as waitress never came back to check. Mind you my wife and I were the only table besides one other and I saw at least 3 servers. Food was decent but I didn’t even want to tip because my dog can server a better table. I generally don’t write reviews but for the 150 buck meal this deserved a negative review. Not worth my money wish I never went. I get better service at McDonald’s
