The restaurant exuded a one-of-a-kind ambiance that filled me with pure delight. Our service was exceptional and all of my requests were graciously accommodated. The food we were served was beyond delicious and left me salivating for more.

Overall a good experience. I would recommend checking it out at least once. The Rib Eye Cap was our favorite dish. The cacio e pepe was just ok. Wouldn’t recommend the Hamachi Crudo if you are into a traditional version. Wine is eh… kinda over priced for the selection. If you dine upstairs be mindful it’s got an indoor/outdoor vibe within a fireplace but NGL it was hot af up there ♂️. The servings are on the smaller side with less starches/carbs and more veggies. TBH the veggie selection/usage is was nice if you are more keen to veggies.

Went here for the first time and ordered the Crispy Brussels and the Chicken Sando. Incredible. Their homemade bread is delicious. Love this place!

It’s was our last evening in California and we’re wanting Italian food. It was a Friday night and hadn’t made any reservations. I explained to the woman who answered the phone our situation and was very sweet and assured me not to worry about a thing. We got seated almost immediately. Everyone was super sweet and then we met Tamara J, she was so nice & when she shared how the pasta was made fresh along with that amazing bread rosemary bread daily well I could not wait. OMG Delicious!!! The pasta the sauce, both dinners were outstanding I wish I could order some right now. I highly recommend and will definitely eat there again, 10 ⭐️ is what I give the whole restaurant

Our dinner started wonderful with great arenchini and classic pizza which was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately I got the Bucatini Carbonara which was not the Carbonara I was craving. It was full of cream which isn’t an ingredient that supposed to be included in an authentic Carbonara dish, it made it very heavy and lost Its purpose. Service was good. And my partner is saying that the butter Sage pasta was good.

EVERYTHING is a YES here but let me just say the short rib ravioli is CHEFS KISS! Also the werewolves bar mitzvah drink is the best mixed drink I’ve ever had possibly, I just wish it was a little more drink for the price ($16 if I remember correctly). Sometimes they have a citrus salad depending on the season that is phenomenal as well! Parking can be frustrating if you don’t want to valet but it’s worth it for the food! Plus, I’ve never had bad service here in the over 10 times I’ve been which is not the case for a lot of restaurants.

Be aware that this restaurant slaps a 5% “staff health” fee on your bill. It’s a shame— this is (was) one of my favorite places to dine. I had an issue with a negroni I ordered and the manager took it off my bill. The food here is great— the short rib ravioli especially. I can’t support an establishment that hits me with hidden fees. I’d be very curious to learn if any of the “staff health” fees actually get spent on the workers here.

Great experience at Osteria La Buca. Came here for a group birthday dinner, and we were all highly impressed. The pasta dishes are fresh, authentic and delicious the atmosphere and service were also top notch! Great wine selection too

The food was lost in translation. We live a 4 minute drive away from the restaurant and everything was cold by the time it was delivered. The pizza tasted like cardboard. The meatballs were too salty to eat. $20 for the most pathetic, congealed portion of ravioli I’ve ever seen. I was so surprised and thought food was missing so I called the restaurant – someone very polite picked up and mentioned that he typically warns people in advance of the tiny portions….if enough people have complained about this, time to either change the portion or the price. The brussel sprouts were the only highlight, but not worth the overall meal. Wanted to order in a nice dinner for a special occasion, and totally regret it. If the quality of the delivery is going to be markedly lower than the quality of dine-in then don’t deliver.
