Reviews for Buca Osteria & Bar in Toronto, ON

Great food, kind of below average dessert. We tried the sea bass and seafood daily selections before and did not like how... everything just tasted like olive oil and salt. This time we tried the tuna dish it was actually quite good in the sense thatyou can at least taste the fish. Pasta and Pizza were always perfect. Read more

Beautiful and elegant restaurant. We tasted a good fried shrimps and calamari as appetizer, then a risotto with shrimp buts... there was parmesan over that from my point of view had covered the delicate taste of the shimprs. The dessert was somethingfantastic: layers of pancakes garnished with cream and whipped cream and covered with lemon cream. Good italian wine. Veryknowledgeable and helpful staff. Suggested!

Service top notch. Super friendly and make you feel comfortable even if you're unsure of certain menu items. We didn't want the... starters and our waiter served our 4 main meals as family style, with smaller individual plates to serve. I am positive thatother fancy places would be fussy about that. Food is incredible every time I go here. Every pizza is high quality and insanelydelicious and savoury. Slow cooked lamb just insane. Not a huge variety of pasta options but still highly recommend. 5 stars. Read more

A bit underwhelming. I firstly have to say that I don?t consume dairy, the only animal products I consume are seafood so it was... really hard for me to eat at Buca. Our server did a great job pointing out what I could eat; but all the bread had butter(really, even the dairy eaters on the table were unhappy with that). Service was amazing, jt was a bit too loud in the space butoverall an underwhelming experience. I personally wouldn?t go again. Read more

Food was good. Although the ambience was extremely noisy and the close proximity to the adjacent table made things even more... unpleasant. Service was unusually slow and the menu took more than 10 minutes to arrive after seating. Furthermore, there wereseveral items that were sold out but this was not mentioned in advance. As someone who?s been to the restaurant several times,this was highly atypical. Hoping for future improvements. Read more

I highly recommend the branzino raw fish that they cut table side. It?s so simple yet so good. Their pastas are also really... unique. They have a sommelier who can suggest wines pairings for you. Read more

Amazing experience at Buca for our very first visit! Everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic and exceeded our... expectations (focaccia bread, olives, short rib pizza, wagyu steak). The highlight was the wagyu steak that just melted when wetook a bite, and it blew us away. It was probably one of the best steaks I?ve ever had in my life! Restaurant inside has areally nice ambiance and it wasn?t too loud inside. Definitely will be going back! Read more

I recently visited Buca Osteria for the 1st time and from the moment we arrived Manolo greeted us with open arms and I can... honestly say our experience was 10/10 from start to finish !! The food was absolutely delicious and there were lots of greatgluten free options for my girlfriend who has a serious allergy. I'm looking forward to going back to Buca and I would nothesitate to recommend this place ???????????? Read more
