I cannot believe a place where all but TWO dinner options have pasta or gluten on the whole menu would not offer gluten free pasta. Seems a very inexpensive way to help a lot of people. We will not be back as a result.

We had a party of 13 for a birthday party, this was noted in my reservation. The table beside us also had a birthday, and a cake was brought out and a grand celebration occurred. We reminded our server with we were there for a birthday party, and she said the kitchen closes in 30 minutes if you want to place a dessert order you have to do it now. She then unceremoniously brought out a box, set it down and gave us our bill. We felt like we were rushed out because they were getting ready to close. I’m not sure why the table next to us was able to have such a great birthday celebration and we weren’t, but if there’s a time limit, that should be noted.

Our family (11 of us) were celebrating a Christmas day meal. We'd had a rough year after losing our 95 year old mom in April. Our meal was absolutely superb and the service was top-notch. We all bundled up to dine, since we had been told the restaurant had lost their heat during a sub-zero snow storm 2 days prior. We did not get cold because there were portable heaters placed so discreetly close to the dining tables. We didn't have to wear our coats at all. It was such a cozy atmosphere and we were catered to our every need. We hadn't visited the restaurant in more than 6 years, but we will definitely be back soon!

We had a special occasion noted in our reservation. The food quality was lower than expectation - the words ‘I’ve had better from Stouffers’ were thrown out there - and then our server let me know in front of the party including the birthday girl that ‘don’t worry we’re still bringing out ice cream and singing for the birthday.’ It was awkward and disappointing, overall.

Celebrating my son’s birthday. My family always have a great time when we are together. We were a large group and only had one waitress who was also serving other tables, one of them being as large as ours. She did her best but had an impossible task. We did not get the type of service I expected from Buca; service that I’ve received before with other large groups.

Restaurant was dirty. We were initially sat at a table that had not been cleaned. Silverware was missing and a dirty napkin was in corner of table. The second table was not any better. Dirty as well. The carpet was so dirty, parts were black with filth. Service was just ok. Pasta was good, but chicken in the pasta was very tough. Will not be back.

We showed up for our reservation and were led through a long maze to a table in a corner behind a table full of people. Our waitress was inattentive and more concerned with clearing tables than taking our drink or food order. We got our appetizer (a big bowl of bruschetta), but were not brought any plates so we could actually eat it. We finally got our food and before we’d had time finish she’d brought us a to go box. We just packed up the rest of the food and left. First experience, disappointing.
