| - Ordered a variety of items from this restaurant's catering menu for a work colleague's farewell lunch.
From the appetizers selection we got x2 servings of Buca Trio Platter (fried calamari, fried mozzarella and stuffed mushrooms, served with sauces), I thought the stuffed mushrooms was the best. The Mozzarella tasted stale, and I couldn't finish it and for the fried calamari, I thought it was too tough and oily.
Our mains were Penne alla Vodka & Baked Rigatoni with meat sauce. While I liked the Penne alla Vodka, I've had better. I liked that the baked rigatoni was topped with different kind of cheeses, and the ricotta especially added some freshness.
For desserts, we got the Dolce Platter (Tiramisu, Double Dark Chocolate Cake, Homemade Cheesecake and Italian Crème Cake) and Chocolate Chip Cannoli. The only one i liked from these 5 was the Italian Creme cake - it was really fresh and lemony. The cannoli was the one I liked least - too oily and weird chocolate taste. Tiramisu, the chocolate cake and the cheesecake were all just meh. The food was functional and served it's purpose but for me, there was no wow or oomph factor, hence the 3 stars (it was a-okay).
