Reviews
Along the way I watched as they participated in doing good things for Marion: meals served with dignity to those in need, brunches for special causes. The owner would sometimes post a fun video online.
Today’s video was about a small group of women who drove three hours one way for a special meal together. They arrived, only to find all seats had been sold for that time. Bucci’s found extra seats for them.
Tonight was date night for the husband and I. We went down to Marion, did some shopping, and I drove us to Bucci’s. We arrived at 6:05 on a Friday night and had a great selection of seats (it filled up all at once around 6:20 PM.)
Our server Marissa was attentive and friendly. We order drinks. I ordered the calimari starter and chicken parm. Hubby ordered the “Tour of Italy” (chicken parm, lasagna, and alfredo.)
The food here is made fresh, from scratch, to order. It was out in twenty minutes! To be honest, I’ve had comparably priced food from Olive Garden that tasted like garbage compared to this, and it took longer to get it to table.
The pasta was perfectly al dente, not over. The alfredo sauce will take me a while to replicate. It had a pleasantly, unexpected tang — a splash of dry white wine? The excellent marinara also had that pleasant touch. Someone in the kitchen has a deftness with wine.
My calimari was tender, and included small, sweet peppers, deseeded, and halved, fried in the same light batter. It was a wonder dipped in the provided red sauce.
The linguine alfredo was delightful. My chicken parm had a pounded, perfectly breaded, delightfully crisp, juicy piece of breast meat laid across it. It was fabulous. I snitched a bite of hubby’s lasagna. It is the *best* lasagna I’ve had away from a kitchen table at home.
For my hubby I grabbed a glass of sweet red wine, recommended by the helpful bartender Austin (with GREAT nails!)
Our check was almost $90. We tipped Marissa extra because she did her best even though they’d gotten swamped while we ate.
If you want fresh, authentic northern Italian food, this is absolutely the place to go.
The staff was amazing.
The atmosphere perfect. I loved being able to hear the music unlike some places.
I’m getting old, so a little more light, or maybe new glasses , could have helped my vision a little better? ♂️
Either way, 2/2 times I’ve loved this place.
Going back anytime I get a chance!
Oh, and the drinks.
My husband ordered the Lasagna and about halfway through we switched. I don’t usually like Lasagna but it was also Delicious. I could taste all the flavors, it wasn’t mushy like most restaurant Lasagna and there was no need to add additional salt and pepper. We brought home enough for him to take for a lunch tomorrow. Let’s not forget about the bread!!! And the Garlic Butter!!! No room for dessert this time, but We will be back. New favorite Italian Restaurant, hands down!!
