| - We ate here after my goddaughter's Confirmation and First Communion. Reservations were made ahead of time for 17 people and the menu was selected ahead of time since we were a large group. I've been to the Bucca in San Francisco, but it's been awhile so my review here does not have any reflection on that location.
When we first arrived, we were brought through the kitchen. I imagine it was supposed to be a tour of some sort. But, honestly, the hostess didn't tell us anything about the restaurant or why it would be any different than any other kitchen. There was a booth in there. So, I guess that meant it is available if you wanted to sit in the kitchen to watch them prepare the food.
We were placed in a "private" room on the second floor that was long and I think they had three tables arranged end to end. There ended up only being 15 of us, so it would have been nice if they made more room my removing some of the chairs. Every time the server came, she bumped into someone and most of the food was placed on one end of the tables since she couldn't fit to make it to the tables that were further in. So, I give the accommodation two stars.
Since we ordered ahead of time, we would have thought that once the drinks were served, the first course of salads would have come out immediately. Our reservation was for 1, we didn't get that first course until about 1:45. What's the use of ordering ahead of time, if you are going to wait? The main course of pasta dishes came out a little more quickly. Refills were a bit slow coming out. We asked for boxes for the leftovers (we had a lot of them) and you would have thought that dessert would have come out shortly after we had asked for the boxes. But, they boxed up all the dishes first, put the bags aside and we waited another 10 minutes or so before she asked if the dessert should be brought out. Again, what's the use of ordering ahead of time, if you are going to wait. So, I give them two stars for service (I should also mention that it was not that busy so that it was understable for the long wait).
As for the food, it was pretty decent. There was certainly a lot of it since we ordered family style. We probably would have been fine if we ordered half of what we actually got. I imagine they based it based on the number of people, even though I don't think they should have counted the kids. So, I would give the food three stars.
Overall, I would eat at this restaurant again. Can't say it's my favorite and that I would go out of my way for it. But, I think it's an overall three stars.
