  • Do not eat here! After having a great experience at Buca on King West, I was excited to make a reservation at this Yorkville location for a friend's birthday. I called ahead and asked to increase the reservation to accommodate 6 people, and the rather snotty person I spoke to said he could not guarantee it. I thought this was a reasonable response, until I got to the restaurant and it was HALF EMPTY. In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is lacking the warmth and rustic feel of the King West location. The entrance is also impossible to locate - the address listed on the website leads you to the back window, where you cannot even enter the building. You have to then go around, down an alley, and to the other side of the building to enter the restaurant. Now onto the food and shitty service. The 6 of us ordered the crisp olives and warm olives to start, followed by 3 pizzas and 2 pasta dishes. The waiter suggested we double up on our spaghetti, which we politely declined as we wanted to try more dishes if we were still hungry. Instead of accepting this, he looked quite unimpressed with our decision and responded with, "Whatever you want, but one person is not having any spaghetti then." In the end it was a great decision because the spaghetti wasn't even that great! Neither was the duck ragu. By far, the best food item we tried was the funghi pizza but I would never go back to this snotty restaurant for the pizza alone. To top everything off, we secretly sent one of our party to speak to the waiter to order a birthday dessert for my friend. We were surprised when instead of bringing the dessert, he arrived with 6 dessert menus. We declined, and waited patiently for the original dessert to come. After about 20 minutes of patient confusion, I finally went back to the waiter and asked what had happened to the dessert. He became extremely defensive and said "I told your other friend to pick the dessert when I brought the menu and I would put a candle in it! It's not my fault." There was no apology whatsoever. In summary, I would never recommend this restaurant - do yourself a favour and go to the King West location instead if you want to try Buca.
