Il Buco

No vegan options
No kid friendly meals, the ambiance was good it was not overly loud, great wine options.

Great food and great service. I would eat there every day if I had the money.

Business dinner, great waiter, very good food and a relaxing environment with a great view.

The Best Waiter, The Best Service and The Best Food!

Not only is Cyril the best waiter we have had anywhere, but the restaurant is fabulously presented, the atmosphere and the food was excellent in taste with generous portions, quality and presentation. And the bonus is the prices are very fair.

Our waiter Cyril was attentive, charming and very courteous, adding much to our pleasure making us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for him. Highly recommended.

Great Night! Food was delicious. Authentic Italian Cuisine and great portion sizes. The Staff is warm and welcoming and the restaurant takes you right back to Italy.

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary this past Saturday. The food, and service was amazing. We have 4 young children, so getting out alone can be difficult. This was a perfect evening for us. Nothing short but amazing. The servers were so friendly, and chatty. Being serenaded was so fun, and it honestly looked like all patrons of this place were genuinely happy and relaxed.
The food was amazing. The antipasto to the dessert were great. Thank you for making this so special for us.

Il Buco was recommended by a local and we were not disappointed. The food was fabulous, authentic Italian complete with singing Italian waiter. It was my husbands birthday and he felt special with a lovely bd dessert. A real gem as a traveler who is always looking for that special spot, we found it in Barrie Ontario.

The food is always so good and our server John is amazing . . .

Certainly not our first time, brought a family member for the first time and service, food and overall ambiance was great. Many thanks for a wonderful evening. Highly recommended. Suggestion: heaters on the outdoor patio in the fall and early spring would be an awesome and welcomed addition. Overall one of the best in the Simcoe area.

Food was fair. The service as non-existent. After taking initial drink and food order we rarely saw Russell. 1/2 hour wait between completion of the appetizers and the entrees. Another 1/2 hour after entrees were finished before we were offered desert or coffee. At no time were we asked if we required anything else. Asked for a glass of water that never came. Had to leave table and find our server in order to settle the bill.
Restaurant was not that busy, it was a Tuesday evening.

We have been going here for a few years and have never been disappointed. Always great service,and very good food. Great views too. Luv the restaurant and will keep returning for sure.

An absolute treasure, I'll be sure to go back again!

Always have a great time here! Food and service is excellent.

The service was excellent and so was the ambiance. Great patio with a lake views. Our waitress Jennifer was very friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the kitchen's respect for my dietary wishes. It would be even nicer if this restaurant could offer more vegan and gluten free options on their menu.

This was my first tim at Il Buco. I had heard good things and was not disappointed. The beet salad was delicious as was my main of stuffed pasta shells. My cousins ordered butternut squash stuffed manicotti which was delicious as well. Highly recommend this restaurant I would go again in a heartbeat. The waitress was excellent too!

It was a great night out with friends we we were very comfortable on the patio and our server Johnny was very attentive, the food was DELICIOUS it was our first time and we will be back!

Always enjoy Il Buco. Wonderful food and service. Russell was amazing. Nice view. Need osso bucco!

Food was great our server was great the guy singing at the tables made everyone smile. We went for my gf bday and we both really enjoyed it.

We have been here on several occasions. They have a patio with a nice view, the service is always very good, their risotto is some of the best, and they have a very good house vine along with a nice selection of other wines.

Excellent - something for every-one. The baritone singing waiter is very good.

I first tried Il Buco about a year ago, and it is now my favourite restaurant! The food is high quality, authentic, and fresh made, and the service is personal and professional. I always leave this restaurant feeling good. Thank you Cyril for the fantastic service time after time (and for remembering the wine I drink), and to Chef Jessica for accommodating my dietary restrictions with such incredible food I never feel like I am missing out! My husband can't get enough of the gnocchi, he said it is the best he has ever had. You will be seeing us frequently!

This was out first time at Il Buco and i have mixed feelings after eating there. Food was very good and nice environment. However the service was not the same. The food took forever to come at out table and a few times we tried to call the waiters they wouldn’t come. Probably because they knew our food was taking too long and didn’t know what to say to us.

Special dinner with my son and his girlfriend; would definitely go here again!

Great food, wine, service, atmosphere, location!

Always an amazing experience at Il Buco! Food is amazing and the service so friendly, helpful and attentive. My friend has both a shelllfish and gluten intolerance and the staff were very accommodating and helpful.
My favourite Italian restaurant in Barrie hands down!!

Another Awesome meal, and fantastic service... if it's not at least a once a month destination...it should be...

The environment was perfect to celebrate a 50th Anniversary. The food was delicious and we did not feel rushed at all.

Il Buco is my go-to place for meetings and events in Barrie. Based in Muskoka this is an ideal place to meet GTA colleagues halfway.
The food is exquisite and fairly priced. The service is exceptional, friendly, efficient, yet discrete.
I strongly recommend Il Buco for that authentic taste of Italy.

Food was excellent! Restaurant is very clean and quit. Service was poor! Waiter confused orders and brought food not ordered and charged for food not ordered!

Awesome!
Terrific food Quality, ambiance, service, knowledgeable staff.

We had the best server! Her name is Amanda. Incredible service, she chose a great bottle of wine for my girlfriend and I and made sure to check up on us from time to time. We had such a blast, the atmosphere is great for a romantic night out. We will definitely be back again!

Food is pretty good for Barrie. Need a lemon-lime squeezer for those who don’t want fake lime in their drinks and better wines. Server was lovely. All the staff seemed nice. Nice touch to have them all thank you for coming on the way out - good training!!

I always enjoy Il Bucco the food is delicous. Always hot and stays hot.

The Opera Singer is really enjoyable!!

We celebrated our 54h anniversary and drove 35 minutes at rush hour to enjoy this restaurant. Weather was beautiful and we had requested a patio table which gave good water view. Our waiter was very informative, attentive and entertaining and recommended the roasted garlic appetiser to share which was excellent. Our entrees were both delicious as was the house wine, both red and white so altogether a most enjoyable evening.

We visit Il Buco each time we are in Barrie. The food is excellent and service is very professional.

Fantastic, authentic, Italian food, great service and romantic atmosphere!!! A beautiful view of the bay!

Great food with excellent service, will definitely come back

Francisco is a fantastic waiter
