| - Buca was such an amazing experience ! We made reservation for 5PM to celebrate a special birthday. The restaurant is located on the side of the building. When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by the host who directed us to our table. We were the first ones to arrive in the restaurant. The restaurant itself had dimmed lighting with opera playing in the baxkground, so the atmosphere was more fit for a romantic dinner. They have a very good selection of food on the menu, ranging from cheese board (choose three for $18), appetizer, entree and main course. They also have a very large selection of wine, 6 menu pages worth. Each item had a small description at the bottom helping diners understand exactly what it is that they're ordering. The menu had the current date stamped on it. The waitress explained to us that the menu changes almost everyday as the head chef wants to serve the freshest ingredients that the market has to offer each day.
We ordered the pizza with spicy pork sausage, gnocchi, and sauteed new brunswick scallops. The waitress informed us that it will come in the order of pizza, gnocchi, and lastly, the seared scallops. The pizza was served on a neat little cutting board, with a pair of scissors for cutting the pizza. Now note that this is not your typical Americanized pizza. This pizza was longer and thinner. The crust was paper thin, topped with tomato, basil, and the in house spicy pork sausage. It was light, and each bite was packed with incredible flavour. Next came the gnocchi. The serving size of the gnocchi was much smaller than expected, we received a total of 5 pieces of gnocchi. However, each was filled with pesto sauce inside. When you bite into it, the pesto sauce bursts in your mouth. The gnocchi had a good bite to it, with a hint of cheese. Lastly, we received the scallop dish. The plating of these scallops was impeccable. Everything on the plate from the sauce to the scallops were aligned perfectly. The combination of the scallop sauce + scallop created this perfect harmony. I had requested for the sorbet trio to be served at the end of our meal as the "birthday dessert". They brought out the chocolate, basil, vanilla sorbet with a lighted candle. The sorbets were incredible ! They were all so so light and refreshing.
As we waited for our bill to come, the manager came over to our table with a box with the date stamped on it. It was given to us as a birthday gift. Inside the box, there was fresh pasta, pasta sauce and cheeses to go with it. We made it for dinner the following night, it was such a wonderful and sweet little gift.
The whole dinning experience was incredible ! We really felt like we were transported to italy. I don't think I have ever written such a long yelp review for any other restaurants because that's how amazing this place is, it deserves an incredibly long review.
