From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family by the warm and welcoming staff. Our server, Gesti, was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, helping us navigate the extensive selection of traditional Italian dishes. For my main course, I opted for the Spaghetti Bolognese, which was cooked to a perfect al dente and smothered in a rich and meaty sauce. My companion's Chicken Parmesan was equally impressive, with a crispy exterior giving way to tender and juicy chicken. But the real standout was the Tiramisù, which was creamy, coffee-infused, and utterly divine. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall, I highly recommend Buca D'oror to anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. The food is delicious, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and intimate.

But it took a long time for our order to be taken and brought to the table. The food was excellent, as it has been on previous occasions when we've eaten there.

Tonight, specifically, our service was just okay. Waiter was inattentive and really not interested in pleasing the customer (ps we are very easy to please). I still recommend because every other time I’ve been there, it’s been wonderful.

He took our order after waiting 20 minutes. Explained we had a show to catch. Once food arrived we never saw him again. Never asked if we wanted another drink. Never asked how our meal was. An older woman came and cleaned our plates and asked if we wanted dessert and coffee. Only saw him when we got the bill.
