Buca Osteria & Bar is more than an Italian restaurant. In the spirit of the widely celebrated first location of Buca on King Street, the outpost in the heart of Yorkville is a place to be inspired by the innovation of the restaurant’s creative, artisanal fare, rooted in Italian tradition. Buca Osteria & Bar offers a broad selection of fresh and impeccably prepared seafood, in addition to their much loved pizzas, pastas, and cured fish. Executive Chef Jorge Fiestas creates an authentic Italian seafood cuisine. Buca has consistently been celebrated for using the freshest, carefully selected ingredients. Featuring sophisticated décor and an open-concept kitchen, the restaurant’s warmth and attention to detail stand out, both in environment and ingredients.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jorge Fiestas

From the OpenTable editors: The Yorkville outpost of celebrated Italian restaurant Buca delivers its signature housemade pastas and Roman-style pizzas while adding a seafood focus. The restaurant’s polished dining room and open kitchen exude sophistication, while whole raw branzino—a must-order that’s nimbly carved tableside—adds theatrical flair to the experience.

Called itself Osteria and Bar. A very interesting culinary experience with unfamiliar Italian dishes. Kitchen staff visible from dining area and in constant motion. Very pleasant staff. Gave us a do it yourself culinary gift for our anniversary.

Wanted to like this place, but most of the experience was subpar. Had to wait almost 30 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Nodini very average. Lobster pasta made me feel sick, do not recommend. Not great dessert or cocktail options. Cool vibe and good pizza, but don’t think ill go back.

The whole dinner was drowning in olive oil. Every single dish looked like it was in an olive oil bath and even the desert was washed out with olive oil. Good service, bad food.

We were there to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday, which I had clearly stated on the reservation. The restaurant completely missed it - there was not even a mention.

Top notch service from entry. Arrived early for our reservations and were seated without hesitation. Our server Emily was so pleasant and knowledgeable. Finally Head chef Mathew is so talented and creative with his dishes. The food is delicious, fresh and flavourful. Definitely will keep going back. The best pizza and fresh fish. Amazing service.

Every dish was excellent. Even the bread was the best ever. It wasn’t busy on Wednesday night so maybe missing that vibe but otherwise perfect in every way.
