This is my first time here and it gives me a good expression. The following pictures are the dishes which the waiter recommended and we ordered at last. The waiter is very nice and patient. He knows all of us cannot speak English fluently and helps us a lot.
But I think eating here is a little expensive.
Food is tasty. Small portions that feel like it's meant for sharing. Came here for brunch --patio seating fills up quickly. Espresso based drinks only and it's good but painfully slow. Food was served more quickly. Arugula salad was very fresh! Duck eggs were interesting and the pizza was made from potato based dough. Menu is incomprehensible unless you know Italian and I don't find that to be charming especially since service was slow.
Fantastic brunch! Everything we ate tasted phenomenal - loved the truffle eggs and porchetta sandwich. The steak was good but not out of this world like the other two dishes. Staff was friendly! Will come again and I can’t wait!
Winterlicious menu is pretty good, the bread knots, even though very slippery and impossible to stick a fork in, are great in the rosemary and garlic oil. Everything else topped our expectations. We will definitely go back to try different things on the menu.
I dig the look and feel of this venue. The server was absolutely outstanding and made suitable recommendations. The latte was delicious and the Italian breakfast items were something I've never had before; more like an Italian twist on brunch.

Delicious!!! Unique Italian style brunch. A depart from the usual pancakes and eggs benedicts. We had the Al forno - the warm toasted bread that we dipped into soft egg yolks with pesto was surprisingly good. Also had the stuffed foccacia with porchetta, it very filling and quite heavy, definitely a man's meal. For dessert, we had budino- warm bread pudding with crisp edges and pear chutney and creme anglaise, was out of the best bread pudding rendition we've ever had. Since we are such glutton, despite being so full, we also had the a rich full bodied Americano and a crespelle, my oh my .. this light and crispy pancakes was the best part of the meal, I can't quite describe what I was eating trust me and just order it! You'll be happy you did. The server was very pleasant and took time to explain the food in detail, we appreciate the friendly attentive service. The decor is unique mix of minimalist industrial with echoes of modern classic elements that gave warmth to the ambiance. Washroom are very spacious, clean. Happy experience and excellent service.h
Overall a nice experience. Our server was really energetic and served us with passion! Definitely prefer the small bites over the pizzas.
Maybe a little bit on the pricer side considering the ingredients and portion.
We went to Bar Buca for brunch on a Sunday. It is definitely a popular place - the patio was already full when we went around 10:30am, but plenty of seats inside. When we left an hour later, the place was already full.
It was weird walking in since there is no reception counter, so I had to flag a waitress down to get a seat. Upon seating, the service was a tad slow and this was true from getting the order, getting the item and the bill itself.
We ordered a latte each, and shared the porchetta stuffed foccacia, and the bistecca tagliata (steak and eggs). The focaccia was a very decent portion, and it was delicious. We would have been satisfied if we just split that. The steak and eggs was presented very well and cooked perfectly - steak was tender and juicy, and we liked the sunny-side up eggs and greens with it.
Overall, the food here was great and the service could be improved. I would give this place a 4 star rating.
