Food was good, arrived hot, but service was SO very slow. Don’t know if server forgot to put our order in or kitchen was backed up. Served offered a lame excuse at the end - something about outside patio being open - made no sense. Parking anywhere close to this restaurant is scarce on a Friday night and a big hassle. We won’t do it again.

It’s always a pleasure dining at Il Bucco - the staff, Jenn (give extra props for reciting the specials so eloquently😅), and Giancarlo made our evening extra special! The food was outstanding as always! Great to see Russ there also! We’ll be back of course - looking forward to enjoying visit on the patio!

Il Buco is always an enjoyable outing. You can depend on the quality of the meals. That being said our latest meal was slightly dry as if it the main components of the meal, chicken, ravioli had been kept warm too long before having sauce added and served. Not many people dining at the time so atmosphere was calm. A place you can take friends or meet friends you haven’t seen in a while
