This is a fun restaurant to visit with family or friends. I visited with family and we had a group of seven. The table overlooking the kitchen was available so we opted to sit there. If you have a group of six or seven people, I'd recommend this table for a fun time. If you have a larger group, try... More

Nice Italian restaurant that attempts to deliver an old-world style environment. Received extremely service, and the food was pretty good. It did take longer then I would have wanted, so that's why I won't give 5 stars. It didn't seem that busy to me.

Very fun decor! Large portions. At least you know you will have lunch for tomorrow. Kind of $$$$ for dinner. I would recommend going for lunch.

Veal marsala was chewy, just poor We spent 36 each without drinks, could have gone to a 4 star facility! Waitress failed to bring water even after multiple requests

We eat here when the extended family will be dining together (more than 7 people). You can't beat the portion size and you are not drowned out by tvs, other patroons, or music. The tables are set up so everyone can talk and be heard and you're not sitting on top of one another.

Quality vs. Quantity situation. You get a lot but do you really want to eat that much crud? Service was slow and decor is not presentable for family atmosphere. How do you explain to an 8 year old why someones private parts are on display? On a recent trip seems football was more important to staff then taking care of... More

We had eaten here once before and were sorely disappointed with the service and quality of the food. Dad and I decided to give Buca another try during our return to the area. This time we had lunch rather than dinner and were pleasantly surprised with a very tasty and sufficient order of Eggplant Parmesan with Spaghetti. We added a... More

Even though I have been living in the area for over 20 years I had not visited this classic family style restaurant. We visited while at a conference. We were seated quickly and when our waitress was told we had a meeting to get back to she mad sure we stayed on schedule. We had apple and gorgonzola salad and... More

This is a good place to go for a family or group outing. The setting if funky. The food is OK. If you want good italian food, go to one of the local restaurants, and there are many, that specialize in the cuisine.
