  • I'm not one to give bad reviews, but I just don't get it. (Let me state now that I'm not a fan of rich foods, so this definitely plays into my review) Everyone says this place is amazing...most of the reviews (on Yelp and elsewhere) and even my friends who I've spoken with. The restaurant was very cool and the ambiance was very nice, so that's a plus. But the food was, in my opinion, terrible. I ate there last night (Jan. 26, 2011) and I left wishing I had gone to Pizza Pizza or McDonald's. I've eaten my fair share of Italian food (both American-ized, and during my travels throughout Italy), and Buca did neither any justice. So, we walked into the restaurant to find the place very busy, and the ambiance very cool. After making our way to the bottom of the stairs, we were standing there for several minutes among some departing guests waiting for their coats, so it wasn't easy to find where to go to claim our reservation. Not until a couple minutes after they left, did someone approach us and ask "has somebody helped you". Finally at our table, we asked our waiter for some wine recommendations, and he was not really well-informed. And we noticed he only recommended glasses that were about $20 and above... We ordered our food with much difficulty because the menu listed all kinds of things that I had no idea what they meant (and I consider myself more than well-dined and travelled, so I've seen more than my fair share of fancy menus). We got our appetizers, the bread knots with garlic and oil - this was the best part of the meal...and the only thing I would ever eat again and recommend. We got our mains, sea bass and the funghi pizza. Both were gross. I know that's a matter of personal taste, but that's what a review is, so don't hate on me. After we ate what we could, we opted out of dessert (which we usually would have ordered). I couldn't get the nasty taste of the cheese out of my mouth. So you can say I left with a bad taste in my mouth. The price actually wasn't that bad. We had 2 small apps, 2 mains, 2 glasses of wine for about $100 + tip. But considering how much I disliked the food, I was not thrilled to pay that much. I know I'm in the minority here, but I am not a fan, and that's my review.
