Buca's is a great place to go with a group or family. Their plates are large portions so it is good to share. If your group is comfortable with each other like ours was, you can pass each of the dishes around the table and get a sample of everything!
This being said, none of the food stands out as spectacular, just your tastier than average Italian-American pasta place. I tend to order the Apple Gorgonzola salad because it is a perfect mix of flavors. The spicy Rigatoni was the table's favorite of the dishes. We also ordered the lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, and prosciutto-stuffed chicken.
