Fantastic meal with perfectly cooked steak. Love that there was a taste of the wood fire in both the steak and our side.

About the restaurant
Il Buco is one of Barrie's best kept secrets. It is fine Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Come and enjoy a relaxing lunch or dinner while taking in the beautiful view of Kempenfelt Bay.

It was an amazing dinner and experience! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our night special! The specials offered were great, I had the chicken parm with spaghetti which was nice but I felt the chicken was a bit tough. Hince my 4 star on the food! My partner got the ravioli which was amazing! We loved how they made the night special for our anniversary and we will definitely return!

I love dining here at this hot spot in Collingwood. The food, ambiance and service are always excellent. It's expensive (Hello $57 Halibut!), but tasty. Perfect for a special event, for which they treat you exceptionally well!

In the heart of downtown Orillia. Part old-world tapas bar, part old-town grocer and deliciously fun.

Closest to Spain tapas experience I’ve had! As someone who visits Spain often the bar is set high for tapas. This was spot on and such a comforting experience. Excellent mocktail options available and serve was lovely! Will be back :)

Needed a quieter table. We were placed between two noisy families. It was our date night away from children.
