We have been to Buca several times and generally have had a good experience. We had the spaghetti and meatballs and lasagna. It is family dining and the portions are large. A small spaghetti is enough for two people and the same goes for the appetizers. Good value. The food is good but nothing to rave about. It is a place to go with the kids and have a decent meal. However, the service was very good. We wanted to change our table and the manager handled it right away. The waiter checked on us frequently and took care of our requests quickly. It is advisable to call ahead since it gets crowded on weekends.
