This is mine and my fiancé second time at this restaurant the first time was back in November 2024 and now July 2025, the food is fantastic and the service is good, however if you are ever to look up at the chandelier's threw out the restaurant and above the bar area the amount of dust is absolutely unreal. the first time we came in November there was probably about an inch of dust on the camera above the bar area now July 2025 I would say there’s almost about an inch and a half of dust accumulating above everybody’s drinks being made and the chandeliers look like they are out of a horror movie. If the dust is this bad around the seating areas and drink areas? I’m scared to see what the kitchen would actually look like.

We love the food at this restaurant and this was our third time here. The patio is lovely and the servers are friendly. Our only complaint is the slowness. We had a 6:30 reservation and were sat immediately but it took 50 minutes from time of ordering to get our meals. We felt they forgot about us and our server did apologize. Overall, we would return but didn’t have the greatest experience this time.

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!
