    Our 2nd time here - asked for 2nd floor - much better in terms of noise level. More intimate. Food very good in all courses. Service was spotty but understandable due to restaurant being full for Valentines Day Will consider for future nights out

    had a winterlicious menu. carpaccio was really great! main not so much. Piccata di vitello meat was really dry and hard. sauce was sour and it tasted like really watered down sour gravy. Parmagiana di melanzane visual and flavours were so good however portion was so small for main. only three stacks. Dessert was good.

    Dinner at Cucina Buca was great. Well prepared food, attentive and efficient servers. We like the fact some staff who are not specifically our server were helpful we needed. It was a cold night when we were there but the staff kept it warm and friendly.
