The restaurant was cold when we went in for late lunch. We had to keep our coats on the whole time. I could see that they had set the room temp to 68° so there was a cold/cool breeze coming out from the vents in the ceiling.
We were also given the dinner menu when it was still lunch time. Had to ask for the lunch menu (half priced). Ordered the apple gorgonzola salad, mozzarella garlic bread, rigatoni, and pepperoni pizza. The bread and rigatoni was good, salad was not great, and the pizza was bad.
Can’t really say whether the service was good or not. She was brisk/unfriendly in the beginning when taking our order, but smiling/friendly after all the food had come out.

Amazing place and delicious cruise. Our server Megan was so wonderful. The restaurant is unique because of the decor and you have to share your dish for example the small order of Lasagna can serve up to 3 people. The colossal brownie sundae was huge but so good. Plenty of parking. Curbside pick up is available.

We have never been to Buca, and we were surprised to see hundreds of old photos everywhere. Many of them were not appropriate for kids… Anyway, the decor is very rustic, which also has its charm; however, you just can’t help and wonder how much dust rests on all of the decor items everywhere.
Our server was very nice and attentive. He explained to us that it makes sense to share entrees as they are very big. We ordered the bruschetta, which was served in a very unusual way! It was pretty good, but I’d prefer more garlic than onions in it; also,the tomatoes were pale and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The crostinis were tasty, and so was their bread. The cosmo I ordered tasted like cranberry juice only, it was tiny and pricey. For an entree,we ordered a large chicken marsala with green beans,and mashed potatoes. There was enough food for 4 adults,and we even got to pack some leftovers. The chicken was fresh and well-seasoned, but for the first time, we ate a very sweet marsala sauce. If I was to compare the taste of it to anything, I’d say it tasted like teriyaki sauce… it was very different than any other marsala sauces that we’ve tried over the years. The beans were good,but their ends were brownish and soft. Mashed potatoes were really good, but the restaurant does not usually have them on the menu . It’s too bad because they were really tasty,and they truly work well with chicken marsala/limone/pietro,etc. Overall, it’s a decent family-style Italian restaurant. However, our kids were clearly disturbed seeing so many nude people in the pictures at Buca. For that reason, I am not sure if we’d be going there again. Still, I recommend checking it out. You definitely don’t leave there hungry, that’s for sure!

Wonderful food here! The waitstaff here were very nice and the food was great quality Italian food. The price here was a bit expensive so I don’t think I’ll be coming here very often. The portions you get are VERY large. You’ll be bringing food home for sure. I will come back here for special occasions in the future.

This is a family friendly place that offers really good pasta. The staff is really great and nice. It is very busy on weekends and people usually come to celebrate their birthdays. The staff sings a song when someone has a birthday.
The wait is not as long as in other restaurants. The decor is very great, lots of pictures hanging on the walls even in the restrooms. They have free parking lots for guests. I’ll stop talking. Just stop by and see it yourself.

This is our first trip back to inside dining since the pandemic and the food, server and staff were all excellent. To start, the server “Megan” came out with hot bread, must have been directly out of the oven, poured us some dipping olive oil and it was the perfect addition and compliment to our “Apple Gorgonzola Salad”. For our entrée, my wife ordered the cheese ravioli with a glass of Riesling and I ordered the lasagna with a glass of Peroni Nastro Azzurro, a lager beer – recommended by our server, Megan – great tasting beer and went perfectly with this Italian meal. It was a Sunday afternoon; the restaurant was fairly busy but our food came out in a timely manner and all piping hot. Mid-meal, the manager stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction – it could not have been better, plus plenty of leftovers to bring home for another great meal. All in all, our experience was perfect – good food, fantastic server and lots of leftovers. Oh yes, we did have desert, it was a sharable “Colossal Brownie Sundae” the perfect finish to a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back! Wish we could add photos of our visit as words cannot describe this feast.

This was a very nice restaurant. The food came in very large family sized portions and was delicious. The prices are pretty expensive but you get a lot of food too. I do recommend going here if you don’t mind spending a little more .

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food served family style. Always satisfying! Get on their email list for coupons. The more people you bring the better the value or the greater the variety! If you like red wine try the House Chianti! The Quartino (9 ounce pour) is the best value.
