I started eating here in either 2004 or 2005. I always enjoyed their lunch buffet but due to my job I have only eaten lunch here twice this past year. My husband and I went this week at 12:10. There were only a few people and one partial pizza available in the buffet. I was shocked to see that they were using fake frozen meatballs. As a proud Italian I cannot begin to comprehend WHY any Italian restaurant would take this shortcut. I asked the waitress and she verified where the meatballs came from. I now consider myself an EX customer. BTW -I have brought my family for dinner but found the prices too high for the quality Bucas is much more authentic not to mention a much better deal.
