BUCA DI BACCO!!! 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 (fingers to mouth-kiss and release it to the air like the Italians do!) Mama Mia! What Service we got on March 12th! . We reserved our table for 10 with Anthony -under the "HOT MAMAS"-Don't even ask...just go with it OKAY! . From the start of our reservation to the end of our meal-I was impressed and may I just add-This was everyone's first time at the restaurant. We had a DIY workshop just down the street and we figured Buca Di Bacco was so close by-with great reviews ...why not give them a try. . Well, I am so thankful we did. Jason was our host and also our entertainment for the night! -the guy was funny. Made us feel comfortable and also like Family-very easy going but also attentive to our table-Did an amazing job with ensuring we were taken care of. When we arrived the restaurant had maybe four other customers BUT no word of a lie 20 minutes later, the place was packed! . We started off with 3 different appetizers- the Meat Balls ( Tasted so fresh-as if Nona was in the kitchen-delicious), the Arancini Balls were killer good-with that cheesy filled center that just makes you want to scream from how good it is, and the Calamari was amazing! Perfectly cooked. . For my meal, I ordered the Chicken Marsala (which I was craving for all week) and let me just say how satisfying the meal was! The chicken was tender and just cooked perfectly- and the sauce was just perfection- not too much or too little- it was every bit of heaven for me. Im just salivating thinking of it. The portion size is Generous-I would be shocked if you had room for dessert. . I also had a Bocci Ball Cocktail. I found it refreshing and smooth. It's main ingredients are Amaretto with Orange -I recommend this drink if you do not enjoy the taste of actual alcohol! (as myself). . I included some dishes from this night which I also received good feedback about. I have to say I really enjoyed this restaurant. I will be back with new customers so they too can experience the Buca Familia food! Thank You for hosting my pre-birthday dinner and making our night a memorable one! Grazie 🇮🇹

It's been sometime since i've thoroughly enjoyed a great seafood pasta! Delish! Husband had the osso bucco which he finished in record time, without offering me a bite, so that tells me it was great. The tiramisu felt slightly on the drier/cakier side, but great flavours. The patio is lovely, on a quieter street than Lakeshore. Service was good too! I'm kinda glad we chose to go here than Sotto Sotto..

What a pleasant delight. Was taken here by some close friends that had been meaning to try the restaurant for a while. Something called Covid got in the way of that plan until now. The restaurant is quaint and was not filled to capacity cuz of covid restrictions still in place. Jason was in charge of our service for the evening and he was wonderful. He was engaging, fun, prompt and informative. The food was really superb. We enjoyed the Bruschetta to start was done creatively and hit the spot. We added the Carpaccio which was very delicately sliced and presented with a hint of arugula. For the mains we chose the Veal Chop/Tortellini/Branzino which are depicted here however this only does it 50% justice. The taste was definitely delicious across the board and makes up the other 50%. We all agreed that Buca Di Bacco will definitely be added to our circulation of restaurants. We’ll done!

I love this place. I’ve been coming here for years and somehow have never written a review! The food is phenomenal, I’ve only had one dish I didn’t love but that’s more due to take-out and certain foods not travelling well. Their bread is absolutely delicious and I recommend the carpaccio, calamari and any of their pizzas! Food is also consistently amazing even during the pandemic and intermittent closures, and the management/staff always goes above and beyond to make sure customers are enjoying the experience.
