Buca means hole in Italian. By no means is this place a hole. Grace our server greeted us warmly and was so impressive explaining the menu while maintaining a professional demeanour.
We decided on the delicious Nodini (bread knots) with Piselli e Lardo (puffy pastry with pork fat) which was absolutely smooth and lovely. For mains we chose the Bigoli and Raviolo All'Uovo both were exquisitely prepared and looked fantastic when they came out. My favourite was the duck egg pasta as it was cooked to a perfect al dente and the sauce was better than any meat sauce that I've ever tried. The hand made hand shaped tortellini was so divine with the ricotta blending so nicely with the speck and sauce underneath the dish.
Cocktail, wine and beer pairing were done effortlessly by our server and if I could possibility get that wine (Grabay?) again I would but it is a special order just for the restaurant.
Desserts were different and non-traditional, especially the Tiramisu. The Limoncello tasted smooth and sweet with a nice balance of fruit and cake.
I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like adventure, trying new tastes and who enjoys food prepared with love and fresh ingredients!
