I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary. Most of the dishes we enjoyed. The over all experience was quite good. Nothing wowed us immensely, so that’s why it’s only 4/5, especially given the price. The service was also very good. The octopus dish was our favorite, with the little circular pasta that was kind of like orzo. It was very fun! We also enjoyed the preserved meats, especially the octopus which was very interesting and we’ve never seen it anywhere else. I’m not sure it’s worth the money, though, but perhaps worth it at least once just to try. We probably would not come again.
It’s located at end of hidden alley along King st. Their patio is small and cute but they have larger interior. The cocktails were overpriced but food was decent. Their service was very polite and helful and staff were friendly. Although we had overall positive experience there, we wouldn’t go back there since the price tag didn’t match the food and scale of the restaurant. They should revisit the menu and prices to attract more traffic there.
Food is delicious, especially recommend the eggplant and tiramisu. Props to Andrew, our bartender, for the great cocktails. Our server Tamara was super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back! :)

Went to Buca for V Day (Yes it took me almost a month to process how amazing the food was and write a review)
The burrata pizza our my fave dish of the night - funky truffle, punchy basil, creamy burrata SO GOOD
The prosciutto was delicious, funky, and thicc but man the pickled turnips on the side were the BEST - flavour bombs - we even had to ask for extra!
The ricciola (fish) was spicy and flavourful, and super fresh - INSANITY
The brussel sprouts were also soo goood - crispy with lots of parm and funkiness from the guanciale (aka upgraded bacon) WOW
The mains were just ok (super classic fancy restaurant things). The octopus was super meaty but I wanted more sauce and onions to go with it. The pasta was a little sad - undercooked and soaked in cold flavourless broth. The filling was good but definitely could have been better.
Dessert was amazing though. We had an almond blood orange cake with mascarpone that was AMAZING and HUGE. We took half home and it was still good the next day! The affogato was next level with chocolatey goodness gelato and crunchy biscotti - don’t skip dessert!!
Fantastic dinner. Staff were attentive. Food was delicious. Cocktails were unique. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal
Buca was delicious! We went on the May long weekend and I’m still telling people about how amazing the pizza and gelato was ! I would definitely go back here. The service was excellent as well. Lauren was our server. If you’re downtown and craving pizza, try to get a table at Buca and order the burrata truffle pizza ! Then finish it off with pistachio gelato. It is soooo good !
Really enjoyed everything on the menu. Great service friendly staff cool environment .
Alil hard to find at first but now I know where it is .
There’s a nice vibe in the dining room for Freind’s to hang out and have a nice meal. There’s also a pretty cool private dining room that I’d like to try next time I get a chance to go there
