As usual I just walked by Bar Buca without noticing it as the sign of the restaurant is really low key and I never expected it to be sharing address with a condo complex.
I took my Yelp friend here as one of the stops to celebrate his 1000th review. At first he was a little skeptical but I think he is a fan after our visit to Bar Buca.
Our waiter was awesome. Really professional, friendly and attentive. And who said service is not important? He really made our experience enjoyable.
We shared:
Carciofi Crudi ($9) Raw Artichokes, Buffalo Yogurt, Bottarga, Senape - I still cannot get over how I enjoyed this! I usually don't like Artichokes but this dish really works with all the element which gave it an interesting complex taste and texture!
Stuffed Focaccia: Prochetta ($12) Roast Tuscan Pork, Mascarpone, Apple Mostarda, Agliata ($12) - Nicely done too! I love how the apple mostarda (which is really mustard and fruit preserves) balance out the roast pork.
He drank his cappuccino, I drank my Theresianer Vienna.
We were both happy.
And I know I will be back....
