   I love Buca, but the food didn't taste like it used to. It has been a while since I have visited. It's a shame really as the only one near me is over 2 hours away. It will likely be the last time I go.

   It was great...we were so lucky to have Jose as our waiter...he's phenomenal, service with a smile, friendly, and attentive. Food was delicious, hot, and flavorful...ambience was also great, Frank Sinatra music, you can't beat that.

   We had a wonderful server and he was very knowledgeable and accommodating! The food quality has definitely gone down and the price has gone up! We ordered about 6 things, and cost us almost $400! Without tip! Everybody was great!!!! Let me emphasize on that! Price and quality, definitely isn’t the same.

   11th year in a row celebrating my daughters birthday at a Buca. This was on the lower end of overall experience. Food was excellent, greeting staff was wonderful. Service was below normal expectations. We had the kitchen seat and for a slow tuesday night, wait for service was longer than expected. I guess we had grown accustomed to the free meatball at that table, when asked, the waitress stated as she was walking away that "thats at the chef's discretion and theres no chef" Overall, it was a good experience and we will be back next year. Previously we had visited Jacksonville, Louisville, and Maitland location. We will be back next year and plan to spend other special occasions at this Buca. Not looking for compensation just wanted to share our experience.

   The food was ok. My date said she would have preferred Olive Garden which is strange.

    We were visiting the orlando theme parks for my wife’s birthday and booked a kitchen table here because we thought the Italian family theme would be fun. I confirmed my reservation on open table and again by phone and then the day of or reservation received a call saying 8:30p was too late for that table due to liability issues. I asked if there was anything that could be done to make the bday memorable and was told the servers would sing and we would be sat at a semi private table. None of that happened. I also said i specifically wanted to order the lasagna because that’s what my wife wanted and why we were coming here. I was assured it would be available but it wasn’t when we arrived. The server offered a baked rigatoni and said it was the same, just different pasta but she never mentioned it had really spicy sausage mixed in the sauce. In summary. The place was empty, nothing that was advertised, reserved, or confirmed by phone was actually delivered. I regret reserving a birthday here, it was underwhelming at best
