We love Buca and have been to plenty. We always seem to get great service and food and this location at the Excalibur on the strip is no different. We had a large group of twelve so they set us up in the Pope Room. If you have never been to Buca, you can call ahead for a group of around 10 to 14 people. It is a large round table in a round sectioned off area with Pope and other Catholic pictures and memorabilia. There is a big lazy Susan in the middle with, guess what, a bust of a Pope! Its a fun place to sit.
We ordered the pizza which is thin crust and delicious as well as the apple salad, one of our favorites. We had a fettuccine Alfredo, a spaghetti and meatballs, macaroni and cheese & a spicy shrimp ziti. As we were guests, I did not participate in the ordering. My wife and our host did the ordering and they nailed it.
The service was great and they were constantly there with our drinks and removing dirty and unused dishes.
If I had one complaint is that if you are coming to Buca specifically there is a parking charge. I know that there is another Buca in town that is a stand alone building so our host picked this place and it was fine. The casino is nice anyways!
