The Pope Room: Very spacious and private, it sits about 18 people. We enjoyed our visit at Buca and we were exceptionally pleased with our waiter Garreth. He catered to our every need and filled us in on all the house specials. We truly enjoyed our time there. I recommend this restaurant!!!!

I really love Buca. The family-style dining is warm and intimate and the food is consistently good. They also have themed rooms which is a lot of fun, especially if you're with a large group (ask for the "Pope Room" which is too fun). Even though it's a "chain restaurant", they really make it a fun atmosphere that you want to go back to. It's also one of those places that the more the merrier.

buca is the best! their layout makes you feel like your in a family joint in NYC. they have special seating in the kitchen that you can get. menu is great. as are the apps.

If you can sit at the ktichen table, do it! It's in the kitchen and you can watch people cook. Don't order the cheese bread. The house bread is just as good, and it's not $12. Don't be afraid of the prices...they're family size portions.
