In Short – Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon…

Funny place to eat with friends
by Sarah2008
While the food was okay, the best part of our group lunch was the service and all of the hilarious art and memorabilia!
I wouldn't take my kids, however, because some of the stuff on the walls is not PG.

Good Italian.

We went to the Buca's near the Robinson Mall and were seated very promptly. Our waitress was very efficient despite having to serve a huge family as well as us. A pleasant surprise is that they now have Buca Mio -which are single serving portions of favorite items. My husband's pasta serving was an adequate size to share but my chicken (mio serving) had only one chicken breast which was just enough for one. We liked the decor but it was a bit on the noisy side. We enjoyed the dessert and loved the frozen peach bellini.

Reservations? Dont bother!
by tallygirl
My friend and I went on a sunday evening. I called @ 4 to make a reservation for 5. When we got there 5 minutes early there were tons of people waiting. We said we had a reservation and the very rude hostess told me it would be a couple of minutes. Ok. Then after waiting a half an hour and after others were seated before us (larger parties) we were seated. We were on the third floor and there were 5 open tables! The food was ok but you have to spend a fortune to get a full meal. I ordered Lemon chicken and I got 2 half chicken breasts and a little sauce for $14.99!!!! No pasta or anything. Be careful when you go and I suggest using coupons. I wont be back. Nothing to draw me back at all. P.S. Bathrooms were atrocious!!!!!!!!
- Pros: none really
- Cons: Long Wait( even with reservations) a la carte menu?, rude hostess
