Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Buca D'oro Ristorante is a "hidden gem" in Philly's Old City, offering authentic Italian cuisine with "excellent food and amazing service." The charming ambiance, attentive staff, and "fresh classical Italian" menu make it a favorite spot for pre-theater dining. Guests rave about the gluten-free options and homemade Limoncello.

    We have been happy customers for decades, even thru ownership changes. It’s our favorite pre-show place to dine. Tonight’s experience was sub-par. Our reservation was for 5:45. We had salads served in a timely fashion but our dinner (or I should say 3 out of 4 meals) arrived over an hour later. The 4th meal arrived 15 minutes after that and was served scorched. Our server was kind but inattentive. We were celebrating a birthday but had to leave prior to dessert in order to make our show. Not a great experience despite the fact we were comped (upon request) for the scorched salmon that arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes after the order was placed. Despite all, we will come back, perhaps it was just an off night, and hope for the return of the good food and attentive service we’ve become accustomed to.

    Love the ambiance, felt like I stepped into a restaurant in Italy! So cozy and the staff was very attentive. Great for a group or just for a date!

    There wasn't that many peope there at Noon today, but we were greeted by the service and seated immediately. Had wonderful Italian chicken Orzo soup and I ordered the Veal Marsala and my wife had the chicken marsala. We really enjoyed it along with extra fresh made bread for dipping. No dessert today but highly recommend for either lunch or dinner.

    Our party of 4 was seated soon after we arrived. Our order was taken shortly after. Salads were delivered, fresh and plentiful. There was a long lapse between the salad and dinner service. A fellow diner’s meal was not very hot, the other 3 meals were fine. All of our meals were very good. However, our server was not very attentive and we would have ordered dessert and coffee, but we were short on time and had to leave.

    We were seated immediately. Waiter came over was very personable. Explained the specials ,we ordered our food. And didn’t see him the rest of the night until he brought us our bill. Never checked on us to see how we were doing. Never brought our second drinks we had to flag someone down for that. We had to flag someone down for dessert. He never came back to see if we were ok, or if the food was good,or do you want anything else. nope he brought us the bill and walked away
