this is my absolutely favourite in the city at the moment. their food is amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. I went with a big group of people so I got to try a little bit of everything. We ordered the pig's ears, eel, gnocco fritto and a bunch of other small plates to share. For main I had the polenta with 3 different kinds of meat and their gnocci (the gnocci was TO DIE FOR).
I have gone back with a friend of mine and was treated to a glass of wine because we didn't have a reservation and we were asked to wait around 5-10 minutes at the bar (amazing!)
This place is always busy and bustling but always very well run and lively. It's exactly what I look for in a dining experience.
Everytime someone asks for a restaurant suggestion, Buca is always the first I mention.
