★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went last night excited to try a restaurant in the top 50 in Canada. I do not understand how they got on this list. We walked in and were seated, given menus by the manager and then just left to sit there for a half hour before anyone came back to take an order for even a drink. There were 3 tables in our servers section all seated after us all served and brought drinks. We tried flagging the numerous wait staff standing around just to be ignored. We own a restaurant ourselves so we do understand staffing and getting to tables in an orderly fashion. They definitely missed this. We still wanted to try the food so we stayed. We ordered the olives and bread knots both were delicious. My husband ordered the cannelloni which was a small portion but he enjoyed. I ordered the lobster pasta which tasted like store bought noodles boiled in lobster shells. Through our dinner no one came back to refresh our drinks again. With us still trying to flag down someone and watch them serve the tables beside us. Our waiter then asked if we would like dessert. We are not dessert people so my husband made a joke saying we would rather drink dessert hinting we would like to have another cocktail. No nothing again so we got the bill and left. The manager stopped us on the way out to ask how things were. We just said ok and told him our service was not great. He offered to personally take care of us next time which in theory is great but I don’t need to “try” a $250 meal again to be disappointed. I would avoid this restaurant

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The braised octopus was delicious, crispy on the end of the legs and firmer going up and the broth and mini pasta its in is to die for! Staff sold us on getting a wine bottle as they have the best bottles of wines in the world (or so I’m told). He made a good red wine recommendation. The desserts were just okay, the tiramisu missed the mark for me as it was too untraditional and the waffle with the citrus crepe was not amazing. For the price, it’s great for a special occasion - I’d suggest getting an entree and a glass of wine then going elsewhere for drinks and desserts.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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 great gluten free options for my girlfriend who has a serious allergy. I'm looking forward to going back to Buca and I would not hesitate to recommend this place ???

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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 we took 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 a really nice ambiance and it wasn’t too loud inside. Definitely will be going back!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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 were several 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.
