the food is wonderful. Why, well the apple gorgonzola salad is abfab, the penne arriabiatta, or however you spell the spicey sausage and penne dish is-well-spice is nice- and pretty darn good, too. the service is so-so, which is typical nowadays, but who cares as long as they bring the food in a reasonable amount of time and don't interrupt you every few minutes asking if it's any good. I've eaten here before, don't remember what I had, but remember being it good enough for me to come back.

This place is too crowded and though the portions are HUGE the food tastes AWFUL!!!!! I hate coming here for parties. I would rather spend more money and get something I can eat

GREAT GATHERING PLACE, HUGE DISH SERVINGS, HUGE DINING TABLE IN THE "POPE'S' ROOM. VINTAGE PICTURES OF COMMON PEOPLE AND CELEBRITIES TOO- LOTS OF FUN.

As a very very picky consumer, I have to tell you that I was so impressed with our experience. I read online that you could sit in the kitchen. I made reservations for that table, and we had a blast. You literally sit in the kitchen, and get to watch the chefs at work. Everyone there was so helpful and courteous. The food was great and our server was the bomb. I read some luke warm reviews about noise and how it's not a dating enviroment. It is a family style restaurant. Ask for the kitchen table, you won't be sorry. Also, go online and download FREE coupons for either dessert or an appetizer. I enjoyed Buca immensly, and hope you do too.

We were overwelmed upon entering the lobby decorated with pictures that made us laugh and a host staff that gretted us immediately with a hello and a smile. We were seated promptly with no reservation and our server clearly explained the concept and ideas behind the restaurant and food. Rob was extremely knowledagble and humerous and made several suggestions including the Chicken Saltimboca (tender,tasty, and delcious), Linguinni with a white clam sauce (gret match with the chicken it was very good with a hint of red pepper spice) and the green beans (phenomanal). We had a great meal and a wonderful time thanks to our server and the rest of the staff.
