I've been to Buca Yorkville at least a couple times before and had a wonderful experience but unfortunately, this time was the absolute worst. Our waiter was rude, grumpy and he didn't care to explain the menu to us at all.
Because of their daily changes to the menu, I've always asked the waiters to briefly go over the pastas but his answer was simply "I don't know what you want me to say, it's on the menu". I'm sorry but this is your job, especially at the price point we're paying, to explain what each pasta entails.
This is unfortunate because this will be our last time visiting Buca Yorkville. Our table of 5 could not wait to leave the restaurant since our waiter single handedly ruined our dining experience with his attitude.
Aside from the horrible service, food was not as good as before. Burrata pizza, Bigoli pasta and branzino were fine, however, skip the veal and pork sausage (definitely not worth $40).
