  • Came here for a birthday dinner, seated promptly for a 5:30 pm reservation on a Friday night on the patio. While the service was impeccable (food ordering was meticulous and server repeatedly informed us that everything had to be ordered in one go), the food itself left something to be desired. We were encouraged to share all our plates for a party of six. Started with ordering prosecco (70 per bottle), and while good, a little steep for my non-wine connoisseur taste. The appetizers were served first - pig ears (favourite!! Chips-like crunch and did not taste foreign at all), porcini salad (underwhelming) and house favourite nodini (bite size bread knots in Rosemary garlic olive oil, too salty for my liking but a hit with most of our party). Also ordered a two meats one cheese board (portions were tiny and neither the crotenese cheese nor goose breast/wild boar sausage were flavourful). For mains we split the duck ragu pasta (portion is tiny!) and two pizzas - sopressata and finotecchia. The pizzas were the highlight of the evening, perfectly baked, thin crust, sufficient portion size for once and the spicy sausage was heavenly after other tasteless meats... Which leads me to the other two 'carne' mains shared, the steak and sausage. They were not flavoured well, and the sausage had a funky aftertaste. We found out after that there were sauces that were not decorative but meant to be dipped like radicchio butter... Oops. Lastly we wrapped up with some dessert. The party was fairly stuffed by this point so we opted to share a pork blood (yes you read that correctly) and chocolate tart. The pork blood taste was definitely faint so even the faint of heart can try but this did not impress. It was served fridge cold and was again lacking flavour. Overall the food itself was underwhelming, there was an overarching flavour and portion size issue, and the some of the servers had heavy accents which made it difficult for us to understand the food consumed. For a bill of 400 altogether, Buca did not deliver. I will save my next trip for its awesome sister on Portland, Bar Buca instead.
