My first time here. I ordered a Calzone with a Half Order of Bread Sticks. Everything tasted great and was fresh. Employees were friendly as well.

Personally I think you are better than Da Vinci( the most popular Italian restaurant in Bloomington).

Tucked back in the shopping center (next to TMobile) this is a decent American -Italian eatery. I’ve been to some of their other restaurants in the area. I have to say I’m a bigger fan of their pizza than their pasta. The pasta is average, standard fare. I tried the rosemary cream chicken last time, and I tried their Alfredo. I don’t have any pasta recommendations at this time. What will keep me and my family coming back is good service and an excellent gluten free menu. Ive not seen many gluten free appetizers like their bruschetta (which was done well). Plenty of options for vegetarians and a decent kids menu make all at reasonable prices make this a place to consider for lunch or dinner. I keep hearing good reviews about the calzones, so I’ll try that next. The staff was quite attentive and everything came out like I ordered. They have a decent sized salad that comes with a lot of meals. There was a ridiculous amount of cheese on it, but that made it tasty.

Bucceto’s was pretty good. We had a pizza and calzones. The food was very tasty. The only issue we had was how long it took to get it. We were there entirely too long waiting on food and then waiting to pay.

**EDIT**
I gave this place a Second Chance hoping the food would be better. It was actually worse. I ordered the chicken marsala, which was served over a bed of shaved deep-fried cold potatoes. The portion was incredibly small, and I counted the mushrooms because I couldn’t believe there were only two, also slathered in the taste of old deep fryer grease. I had to chase the waiter down for the check, I had to chase the waiter down for coffee, and it just wasn’t worth it. The floors were still filthy. I recommend you find another Italian restaurant because this one is too inconsistent and lazy to be worth more than one star.
** I stepped away 2 minutes after placing the order. I informed waiter that I needed to walk to next door and then I would be right back, which I was. He should have stopped the order when I told him I was leaving the building. He didn’t. And even so, it doesn’t take 20 minutes to heat up sauce. That’s how long I waited for my dinner after I returned. So they actually made it from scratch. And if they didn’t, then 20 minutes to warm up some sauce and slop it over already cooked food should not have taken 20 minutes. I was THE ONLY TABLE. Third, don’t tell a professional cook that they cannot tell the difference between separated cream, and fryer Grease.
Lastly, it doesn’t matter how many times you got it right in the past, it only matters how you get it right with the customer in front of you.
Social distancing is definitely adhered to here. So we’re off to a customer-conscious start. I watched, waiting my turn to sit at a table, as the waitress cleaned tables, handled used plates, and served fresh food without stopping to sanitize her hands. She seemed really focused on doing her job well so I’m sure it was an oversight. The floor was trashed and unattended to, which I blame on a lack of teamwork. The server had 8 full tables, and there were 3-4 additional people in the kitchen. Someone could have come out to run the vacuum for her for 30 seconds. So often in restaurants the kitchen staff fails to understand how important supporting waitstaff really is.
I was going to order Chicken Marsala, but the sever suggested I try the Rosemary Chicken instead. It came with a salad (generous portion of rust-free lettuces, carrot shavings, more than the obligatory 2 Roma tomato slices, and sliced black olives. I asked for low-calorie Italian dressing which turned out to be red wine vinegar with insufficient spices in it to alter the flavor. Still…the salad was flavorful, crisp, fresh and cold. The server waited till the last bite of my salad was left to deliver the dinner. (Good job!) The pasta was slightly overcooked (hello, Indiana). The sauce was indeed rosemary-flavored. Large pieces of wilted rosemary were present throughout the dish which meant every now and again I got an overwhelming mouthful of cheesy rosemary… And it was actually good! But I don’t think I would like that every time. The sauce tasted like a vodka sauce, and I think I would have preferred no liquor at all given that the cheese and rosemary flavors were so strong. The mushrooms were fresh, not canned, and wilted in the sauce. The chicken was scarce, dry, flavorless. Dinner was served with 3 fresh baguette slices cut thick and toasted with (tasted like granulated) garlic butter on one side.
Coffee was really good, not the bitter, sour stuff so many places have resorted to. Thankfully. It had slightly…buttery tones and went perfectly with the Tiramisu. Dessert was above average, although I would take issue with the whipped cream in it. I think this kitchen is talented enough to make it on-site, and make it better than the frozen import.
I will be back, and I hope you will try this place, too.
Full disclosure…I’ve been in front and back of house restaurant work since the age of 13.

I haven’t been to Bucceto’s in years because no longer live in Bloomington… But I was in town tonight and decided to have it for dinner…
I learned I could no longer sub bread for a salad as I used to, that was kind of aggravating… But I understand food costs and restaurants sometimes need to make changes…
So I went with my double order of Pasta Alfredo and I ordered extra bread and in my opinion its still the best Alfredo I have eaten…
My server was a collage age guy who was very friendly and attentive, even the manager took time to come out and explain to me that they no longer subbed bread for salad just so she could make sure I wouldn’t leave unhappy…
Leaving unhappy would never have happened, I’ve never had bad food or service in the past at Buccetto’s and tonight was no different…
Great food and excellent service…
Good Job Buccetto’s West side…

Great low-key Italian eatery in Bloomington. Good menu variety between pizzas, calzones, pastas, and salads. Service was great. Pizzas were fresh and priced well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a pizza place with some variety.

Ordered a lasagna for takeout when I got home the lasagna was completely burnt on the bottom. I called to talk to them they said it’s cooked in the big pan and usually doesn’t burn. But it was black as black could be and I tried to send them pictures but they refused. They did refund my money.
