We needed a restaurant for our rehearsal dinner that could seat/feed 15 people for cheap. Buca is the only place in town that I know of that can keep it cheap, huge portions and allow us to get as loud as we want.
The waitstaff was good and kept on top of everything. The food was typical Italian, nothing special, though my hubby loved the pizza and I loved the chicken parmagiana. The tiramisu leaves a lot to be desired. I won't order that again. We fed 8 people, with liquor and dessert (no appetizer) and took the leftovers home for $110. I don't think you can beat the price.
Making a reservation seems to be a difficult task for them. I made it a month in advance, and I called back a week prior to the event to confirm it. Dominique said the reservation wasn't in the book, so she wrote it in. We got to Buca and while we were there, someone from Buca called my cell phone to tell me that because I was running late, they could only hold my reservation another 5 minutes. It seems like the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing!
