"We took my mother to Buca this mothers day. Not surprisingly, they were running a bit behind their reservation time line, but I was still pleased to have made a reservation. As always the food was fantastic and the environment was energetic and lively. Not a good place to go for a quiet family meal, but a fantastic pick if you don't mind a bit of noise."

"The food was excellent. The service was also excellent. However, the time that we had our reservations was at 1100 in was cold. I mean cold for my wife and chilly for my youngest son (25 yoa). Secondly, we were put in the rear of the restaurant and it seemed as though we were cut off from the other customers. That area is isolated. It was nice when out custoners were finally seated."

"We visited Buca on a Thursday evening to check it out as a spot to celebrate our 40th anniversary. When the gentlemen that seated us took us to our table we told him we were interested in looking at a small room or area for our gathering. The food portions are generous, well presented and taste great. We had enough of our main entrees to for a to-go box for my lunch the next day. Before we left Neena came to our table and indicated the hostess told her we were interested in a room or space for our anniversary. She showed us the options and we made a reservation for us. When we were on our way out the door the gentleman the seated us wished us “Happy early anniversary”. It doesn’t get any better."

"Made a reservation for 4 for dinner to ensure we got seated in the dining room in a timely manner. When we got there, we discovered it was prom night and lots of couples were having dinner there too. Wish we would have known that before making the reservation. We were seated a little after our reservation but it was in the bar. Didn't like that much. Don't get me wrong, the bar is great and the bartender was really good. Just didn't want to eat dinner in the bar. Maybe the hostess thought we wanted to be separated from the prom couples. She didn't ask. The food was very good (Chicken Marsala, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Shrimp Florentine) and the proportions were okay, except our serving of garlic mashed potatoes seemed a bit small."

"I enjoyed the atmosphere and my family can be themselves without having to worry about their appearance. My only issue was where our table was at. It was close to the To-Go door and we were cold since it kept opening and closing. They would need to re-position where the table is or get a half-door to prevent the cold air from coming in."

"We have been frequenting buca's since it opened and sorry to say we won't be returning after this. The food has become mediocre, For a long time Buca's had managed to remain unique even tho it is a chain restaurant. Unfortunately the food has suffered. It tasted like manufactured food, and did not have the uniqueness offered in prior years. The mussels were fishy tasting and were returned. The Ceasar salad, while once a gem only had a small hint of its past left. The pizza was no longer crispy and spicy, but soggy, greasy, over filled and under cooked.
The staff was very nice and really gave it all when celebrating a birthday party guest.
All in all a disappointment based upon what it once was.

"It was a little more money than we recalled from the last time we were there because some of the pasta portions seemed a bit smaller. And there isn't a noise rating for teeth-rattling loud, but we knew that would be the case as we had been there before. It was a good place for a large group on a budget."

"Big menu, big plates, great service. Lots of variety on the menu, and family style servings means you need a big group to enjoy some variety. The food is good, but not great. That's okay, this is type of place where ambience is important and it is a fun atmosphere, everyone having a good time. There were at least 3-4 birthdays going on when we are there, and each one get a song from the waiters. So, not the place for an elegant meal, but very good for a family gathering. The service from Ryan was excellent and much appreciated."

"The noise level is very very loud and our group's conversation was constantly interrupted as it seemed almost every table was celebrating a birthday. The food was great and the service fast but it seemed like the waitress was really rushing us to order and turn the table over. Wouldnt come here with a big group again on a weekend."

"Food was very good, hot, nicely presented. The baked ziti was excellent - just enough cheese, good mixture of cheese flavors. Subtle, not covered in cheese, like some places, where you lose the flavor of the sauce and pasta. Well done."
