I Originally opened in 1994 as a rustic antique store on NoHo’s cobblestoned Bond Street, il Buco is today one of the most beloved restaurants in New York City. As pioneers on Bond Street, independent filmmaker Donna Lennard and her then partner, Alberto Avalle, invited their antique customers to join them for their midday pranzo before procuring a wine and beer license and creating an eclectic Mediterranean menu—part Italian, part Spanish, part invention—dedicated to sourcing the greatest prime ingredients both locally and in Avalle’s native Italy.
Upmarket, carefully sourced Mediterranean plates served in a rustic-chic space with a wine cellar.

We celebrated New Year’s Eve at Il Buco, and it was honestly the most magical way to welcome the year.
First of all, I was pleasantly surprised that, unlike many NYC restaurants on New Year’s Eve, they did not require a deposit. That level of hospitality stood out.
The special holiday menu was beautifully curated — diverse, deeply rooted in Italian tradition, and thoughtfully composed. Every dish felt authentic and intentional.
Our waiter elevated the experience by suggesting we order two different tasting menus so we could try almost everything. It was the perfect recommendation and allowed us to fully experience the kitchen’s range.
The champagne and wine selections were excellent and paired beautifully with the courses. The live music created a warm, festive atmosphere — elegant yet intimate — a perfect start to the new year.
The dessert was heavenly — made with real, juicy berries and delicate chantilly cream. Light, fresh, and the perfect ending.
And what impressed me even more: for two people, including drinks, the check was still under $500, which felt very reasonable for the quality, the occasion, and the overall experience.
I honestly don’t think I could find a better Italian dining experience in New York. Authentic, refined, welcoming.
Already looking forward to coming back and tasting more. ✨

Came for the NYE price fixe dinner. Everything was amazing! The dishes were adventurous and executed beautifully. Was blown away by the attentive service as well. Will definitely be coming back.

Good food and nice service!
Food was delicious, but the cooking was unfortunately not even. Many of us eat a steak and some got well done when they ordered medium rare. I was lucky to get a perfectly cooked steak and it was fantastic. Otherwise I can really recommend this place.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner and look forward to going back next time we visit New York. Our server was excellent and informative, as was the bartender who was warm and welcoming and very helpful in selecting a sparkling wine. The ambience was perfect and romantic, the food was the best I can recall (and we dine out frequently). The flavors were just impeccable. We had the bikinis, veal chop and tagliatelle with black truffles. Salted caramel dessert was also lovely. A perfect evening.

Excellent experience, delicious food. The halibut and flourless chocolate cake were perfectly executed. Special thanks to Patrick, who went above and beyond to make my dining experience enjoyable and memorable – very professional, welcoming, and gave great recommendations. Thank you Patrick!! 5 stars, will definitely come back

We have not been here in over a decade. We usually go to Il Buco Alimentari around the corner. It was a good spot for a 92 year old’s birthday. She was happy. It did get a bit loud but we could still hear each other
The breads are amazing. The waitress was lovely and gracious. Lovely olive oils. It’s worth buying some from their store around the corner.
I loved sitting next to the fresh vegetables!
The food was fine. Compared to many of the places I’ve eaten in lately it wasn’t dazzling, but it hit the spot.
I think I like their other place better. I don’t know if it’s the same chef.

Il Buco continues to set the standard for what dining in NYC should feel like. Beyond the incredible food and wine, what truly stood out was the staff — warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience. Every interaction felt thoughtful and effortless.
A special shoutout to the manager, Justin, who is the true definition of hospitality and professionalism. He leads with grace, presence, and a genuine care for both guests and team, which is clearly reflected throughout the room. You can feel the culture of excellence the moment you walk in.

Excellent food and service. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was packed! We did manage to sit at the bar, regardless. We had the salmon and a yellow gazpacho; both plates were delicious. I did not particularly like the lentils in combination with the salmon? But the fish was cooked to perfection! I also had a glass of white wine. Would definitely recommend this place!
