I got the pasta special and it was amazing! The mussels are the best mussels I’ve had anywhere!! The sauce is incredible! The Caesar salad had enough dressing (which I haven’t found with most restaurants lately), and the dressing had a good zip to it. The cheesecake is always delicious here…My husband and I got separate pieces because we weren’t willing to share!! Overall, another wonderful experience. My only complaint would be that it took a long time to get our drinks. Maybe someone else needs to be helping at the bar? It was a wonderful night!!

We went to Buca di Bacco for my birthday dinner and it was a perfect evening. The food and service were outstanding. The owner even came by to wish me a happy birthday. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends.

The feeling overall was being rushed, not a relaxed evening. The staff seemed to be clearing items before we were finished with them and forgetting to bring us things. They did apologize. The mussels were excellent as was the Cesar salad. The osso buco was not fall off the bone tender. The Marsala chicken was tender and moist but could have been more intense in flavour. The restaurant had the right feel when we walked in but the atmosphere was hurry up!

Great meal at Buca di Bacco! Good classic Italian food. Packed and busy the night we went - it’s a lively place! They were short staffed but our server handled it really well. And our food came out hot. We will be back!

Most of the food was beyond excellent and I will go back. The pizza was a bit dry and hard crust with the toppings apparently added after the base was cooked. It could have been better Caesar. Excellent Bruschetta excellent Mussels. To die for Service. Lovely discreet and very pleasant just enough to allow us to dine in leisure

We went for lunch and had the carpaccio, burrata, and the nduji cavietelli. Great Italian food made with care. Really enjoyed the tiramisu, it was simply scooped on the plate and really delicious. Will go back for sure.

Service was wonderful (by Joe and the girls) and the food was excellent. Ambience was really nice - even at 5:45 pm. We definitely will take more people there in future . Last time we were there, about a year ago, we didn’t have as good an experience. Cutlery was all stained, menus were stained, and service felt cold. Very happy to have had another great experience (like 2 years ago)!

I always expect food to be better than I can make it and it wasn’t. The chicken Marsala was just average at best. Salads were small. The decor is in need of a refresh. Music was too loud to have a conversation without raising our voices- then everyone does the same and it becomes just a lot of noise. Probably won’t be back til they do a refresh

Probably the best gluten free pasta I have ever had. As someone with celiac they really ensured I had everything I needed and made it a stress free experience. If you are looking for incredible homemade gf pasta look no further.

Buca Di Bacco always delivers a great dining experience. The relaxed vibe is great for family or a date night. Service is always friendly, welcoming and attentive from the owners Anthony and Lucio, through the entire staff. I’ve been going here for many years, and with many different people, and have always had a great all around experience. Would highly recommend Buca di Bacco!!

Thank you for a great birthday dinner. My father and his wife had never been to your restaurant before and were blow away about the accommodations made for their dietary restrictions. The food was fabulous and the service from T was superb! I myself have been a few times prior and I’ve never had a bad experience.

Disappointing as this is our 3rd date in over a year as new parents. My husband's pasta dish was so bland. My risotto was okay, edible, but undercooked and on the bland side. Calamari was tender but underseasoned. My drink was flat. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. No water for a long time, dishes left, bland food, inattentive service, no checking in about our meals, no coffee or desert offered. We left for our coffee and desert. Would not return.
