Family friendly, casual Italian eatery, huge portions meant to share. Kind servers and great kids' menu made our meal enjoyable. Kids' menu not pictured here as our kids were really hungry so they devoured the mac and cheese (very good!) as well as the pepperoni pizza right away 😅. Have a dog so sat outside in the cozy patio but they forgot to bring water for her... There is a photographer that will come to every table offering free photo but develops more than one and expect us to buy at least one more at $15 each or $20 for 2. Maybe just decline if you don't want your photos to be tossed out when unclaimed.
We got the Chicken Carbonara it always tastes delicious! The staff is great and very attentive! Always a positive uplifting environment and Bobby is great as well as the managers. Would definitely recommend you checking it out if you haven’t already! Nothing like Italian food after a long day of shopping and walking at the grove.
Delicious, as to be expected. The price range fits the area. Family style dishes were ideal for two people because there will STILL be food left over. We had the Shrimp Florentine with a strawberry sangria-ish drink. We went during the perfect time between 4-5pm on a Tuesday, so the restaurant had plenty of seating.
Britlynn was the best very outstanding customer service, this was our 1st time to Buca. She went over the menu with us and pointed out the dishes she likes and ones that are popular... and boy she wanst kidding about the proportions and jeez the bread yum yum ;) we ordered the chicken carbonara and it was excellent, thanks to the chefs :) thanks...very clean and very cool environment. We will be back next time we vacation to Hollywood :) thank you Britlynn and staff at Buca!
Place is not crowded, lots of tables and the taste of the food was delicious. Wait was not too long. Portions as usual, are very generous. We left with our tummies full!!! Definitely coming back here for our next event.
Only shareable meal.
Don’t come here if you are alone or in couple.
It s 3 or 5 persons menu only.
But it s freaking licking good !
Nice staff too , smiling and kind.
We had 15 for a baby shower luncheon, for a few hours, and the service fr Hailey was excellent. The set menu was delicious; salads, bread, ravioli, & a chicken penne. Large servings & more than enough food. The Pope room with its round table was semi private & perfect for the event. Hailey was attentive fr start to finish, super sweet, & made the party go really smoothly.
Party of 6. We had a great meal. Joe brought us the spicy shrimp for 5 and we ate every bite of the stuff. Good to the last drop. Joe was great too.
We loved it. Huge portions. Great service. Recieved a coupon in the mail, so we gave it a try. Huge portions, even for 2 teenagers so you'll have leftovers. Meatballs were delicious. My son loved the fettuccini alfredo, we added chicken. Meatballs were not warm so I let server know and he brought me a new order and he was very apologetic about. Hostess was wonderful, she was super friendly and patient when she took pictures for us. Coupon is gone but we will be back.
Lunch specials run $12-17 a plate and they are huge of course. Enough for 2 people.
