Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria

Wonderful meal from appetizers(charred artichokes, yellow tail carpaccio), main courses (black squid ink pasta with crab amazingly flavorful and light-well worth the carbs, and trout- thick cut, great fresh taste with charred leeks were so complimentary), to the dessert- affogato. Oh- how could I have forgotten the bread basket with olive oil and rock salt!

Fantastic food with warm rustic atmosphere.

One of my favorite restaurants in manhattan. The food is so consistently outstanding !

frequent this restaurant when I am in the neighborhood. it has never missed for brunch or dinner.

Everything was above average. Although one of Pasta dishes we ordered was not properly cooked, the server took the initiative to immediately correct the situation. It was uncomfortable to have to wait, but the dish came back perfectly cooked on the second try.

always amazing. food is always perfect. love the atmosphere and everything about this place.

I had to send my meal back twice...once as it was undercooked and cold and the second as it was still undercooked (crunchy pasta). I did not bother having them make a 3rd attempt. Also, the service was incredibly slow and it was not particularly busy...like 40 minutes to get a beer that was opened at the table slow.

Great food. Fun atmosphere

As usual, the meal was outstanding. We always sit at the bar as those are the best seats. And a little less noisy that the close quarters of the table. Everything was delicious.

Sat at chef’s counter!!!!

They need to figure out how to sit people that don’t want a communal table.

Great restaurant. Service was fantastic, food was tasty. Got busier towards the end of out meal and a little louder.

This is an excellent restaurant with great service and excellent food. I come here at least once a month. And will keep coming

Upon 6:00 arrival, seating, receipt of menu, everyone manager, hostess and waitperson) acknowledged our need to make a 7:30 curtain at The Public. They brought it up, not me. We finished our appetizers by 6:30. Then we sat and sat. A few apologies during the wait. Entrees showed up at 6:55, and one pasta dish was undercooked — not al dente, but undercooked. We half ate what was presented, with one of us eating around the undercooked pasta. Waitstaff (charming btw) was very apologetic. But they (expediter?) just blew it, which was too bad, because everything else was great. Then we had to run.

Perfection.

Exceptional food and service. Every dish was a winner. Cosy family-style atmosphere.

Food was delicious and ambience was fun! Would go back again in a minute!!

The pasta is incredible, exactly what it should taste like, and the lamb regu was especially delicious. My family was also particularly impressed by the Montepulciano wine, which exists by the glass. We ordered meats, and I liked the bresaola but was disappointed by the mortadella. The vibe is kind of dark and noisy, but that's the neighborhood.

Just my opinion but this is my favorite restaurant in all of New York. The food is exceptional, the staff is crazy good and I recommend this restaurant to every single friend I have that is coming to New York. You must go.

We were sat in a corner facing a wall and right next to a door that servers were going in and out of, causing a cold draft every few minutes.

Really delicious starter ie homemade charcuterie , porchetta as main course was quite tasty but was too big a potion mainly consisting of two large slices of meat and hardly anything else 😣.
We were seated at “bar” section on 1st floor which is overlooking the a void /the ceiling of ground floor area, not very attractive. The place I extremely busy and very noisy . Staff was very friendly and helpful. All in al good but not more ...

It's a solid restaurant. I'm no official expert on Italian cuisine but Il Buco leans to the North. Attentive service. Salumi platters. Cheese platters. Perfect pastas. Inventive desserts. I'm looking forward to a return visit. Go.

Quality ingriedents and nice atmosphere for a date but too expensive.

The meal was awesome. My friend and I both felt it was the best pasta we’ve ever had. We were very glad to have made a reservation as it was crowded. We were seated in a timely manner and the staff was great!

Food was generally very good. The artichokes and the ribs were outstanding. I would have rated more highly but we were told in a condescending way when we checked in that we had to leave within 1 hr 45 minutes. Even if we had no intention of being there longer than that it hardly makes for a relaxed meal with friends.

Outstanding seroandvattention to details! Loved the food!

A wonderful trattoria that evokes the feeling of dining in Rome. Wonderful fresh ingredients and authentic Roman recipes (fried artichokes, cacio pepe). Bravo!

Inattentive bar service waiting for table; didn’t get better at the table. tight seating. Towering pile of endive salad that was meant to be shared. Gummy bucatini. Great bread. How about some reasonably priced wine? Won’t rush back.

All around excellence, from the food to the service. The wine steward guided us to a very good bottle. There were enough options for my vegetarian friend. My pasta with lamb ragu was outstanding, as was Le Boyfriend’s spaghetti Nero with crab. Looking forward to my next meal there.

Fabulous as usual

we had a great dinner starting with the great bread and plan to return soon. staff very accommodating given we had a 7 pm theater at the Public - we were able to start earlier than 5:30 by sitting in a table in the bar area - service also very prompt

Great food and great drinks!!

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Great spot!

Food was great, service very prompt, a little on the noisy side... but, I’ve not been upstairs before, which is perfectly good, especially if you are to have a large group. I would probably ask for the ground floor seating if it’s an option.

never disappoints, really can't go wrong with anything that's on the menu.

It was excellent

Way too noisy and cramped. Food was of reasonably good quality but the environment was too bad and it was pricey.

Very helpful staff in accommodating specific needs of the night.
Food was genuinely delicious and wine list extensive.

Will definitely return.

We were made to feel welcome and comfortable the instant we entered the restaurant-1 hour ahead of our reservation I should add. The service was wholistic in that there wasn’t a time when weren’t watched over. I would recommend going before the main dinner hour and order from the limited menu. Wine prices are fairly high but the quality and selections were special. Try the specialty cured meats for a unique experience. Save room for desert!

Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. Best to come with friends or a group since the seating is communal except for a bar-like spot. Creative dishes well prepared. Reservations a must. Very busy neighborhood place.
