    The waiter was very nice and did a good job. We ordered a large penne la voka; a small lasagna , a large chicken parm; a antipasta salad , a small spaghetti with meat sauce ; cheese garlic bread. And desert to celebrate 2 dads. It was plenty of food for 7. The large penne NO one could eat because it was so spicy! Unless you like spicy i wouldn’t recommend. We didn’t expect that. Otherwise it was very good.

    I made Mother's Day reservations for myself, my mother and siblings Even though our table was not ready for us when we arrived, we were seated shortly after (15-20 mins). Even with a reservation this is expected on holidays such as this. The food was outstanding as was the service - even though it was packed and more people waiting outside. It was my mother's first visit there, but she definitely wants to go back soon!

    I understand wanting to give guests the ‘real Italian feel’ but it really is unnecessary to drag meals out for 3-4 hours. I don’t know how you stay in business turning tables over so slowly.

    The Buca concept is tired and uninspired. Servers and hostesses seem to lack any motivation to be there. With litter all over the parking lot, tables with unkept dishes, and tables waiting for assistance, unoccupied staff could regularly be seen playing on their personal mobile phones. This is a management failure. In turn, the cost and ambiance do not compel me to ever visit again. It was actually somewhat embarrassing that I was the one that invited our group of 12 to this location. What an unfortunate reality as I remember the Buca heyday in the late 1990’s.

    We had a party of 9. We were crammed into a table for 8. There was no room on either side of the table and we had a person hanging off the the end of the table. I asked to be reseated and the host looked at me and said there was no where else to go. There wasn’t enough room on the table for the food. The servers were nice. Food was okay. The lasagna has clearly been sitting under a heating lamp or left out for a while as it was dry and unappetizing. The cheese manicotti was better but also had been sitting out for a while. Overall, being packed into a table that wasn’t meant for our size party was a real turn off. And then to be dismissed so quickly by the host gave us a bad experience. Also, seeing servers, and busboys walking around with headphones/airpods in is a bit of a turn off. I would recommend the place after our experience.

    Corrine was our server. She was very nice but she NEVER brought us our appetizer. She kept coming by our table to advise that our food was coming, then she brought our entrées. I asked about our appetizer, and she said "OH" I'll go get it. I told her to forget it, we already have our dinner. She said she would take it off our bill. (Well, I certainly hope so). We REALLY were looking forward to our appetizer. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

    First time in the restaurant. Nice old fashion italian decor. There are NO portions for 1 person… the plates are expensive and for 2 people therefore you have to eat what the other person orders. Same for the pasta… a bid expensive plate (double the price). Nice wine and by the bottle. Desert size and price are outrageous! $18 plus tax and tip for 1 tiramisu! I am NOT coming back to this place for sure! Good luck!
