Modern Italian Dining, Rooted in Tradition

Buca Vaughan was born out of a deep reverence for Italy's rich and varied regional culinary traditions, as well as an unwavering commitment to upholding the highest benchmarks of quality, culture, and design. We adhere to these principles by exclusively sourcing the finest, seasonally available ingredients from select purveyors and local farmers. Our enduring love for Italian culture fuels our dedication and passion in every dish we prepare.

Moreover, in a nod to our heritage, we have merged the beloved concepts of Buca King and Buca Yorkville. This union offers our guests an even more extensive and diverse culinary journey, celebrating Italy's timeless flavors and traditions.

Overall experience was the servers and service was great, but my wife didn’t like her main portion of the pasta with fish and they didn’t do anything about it, she took a bite or two and still paid full price for it. Wouldn’t really recommend to anyone as the prices are a bit higher than most places and the food is overrated.

The food and service were excellent. The prices are a bit steep for the amount of food; but that was to be expected. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a great time! My wife celebrated her birthday with the kids. Servers were very accommodating and friendly. Food were amazing! 101% highly recommended! Wife was given a birthday gift. They didn’t have to but we truly appreciate it. We will definitely come back to try other dish from their menu! Overall, 5/5!

Requested quiet table. Only 4/5 table for 2. Then half dozen high top, bar type tables. We chose bar top as it was quieter. Service was over the top accommodating. Hostess, waiter, etc all 5 star. Restaurant itself big open concept. Personal preference is a low light cozy experience. Menu had an ok but limited variety. Appetizers, pear, vinegette nuts, salad. Ok, wouldn’t order again. Partner had beet salad. Sliced round beats in a mint/goat cheese plated sauce. May order again only because lack of other salads. Had a baked olive side that was yummy, unique, 5/5 and garlic knots, similar in style to a take out pizza place, but a cut above, would have preferred dipping into oil. But ok. Personal preference. 3/5. Had sea bass, again, ok, 3/5 with olive side sauce, bit bland. I had seafood lobster pasta. Good 4/5. But wouldn’t order again. Had a side dish of assorted mushrooms. Very good! 5/5. Very different. Actually used the sauce to mix with sea bass. Had tortufo dessert and a raspberry, waffle with a cream glaze. Excellent presentation. Must have a master dessert maker. Prize winning presentation. A bit sweet but both on the recommended side. Coffee was great! I wouldn’t go back. But we a hard critics. We didnt like piano piano or Oretta either (food was awful-waiter agreed). So thats our take!

We had a birthday celebration and all of the details were perfect. The food presentation was special to honor the occasion. Our waiter was helpful, engaged, and ready to assist with questions and recommendations. The fish was by far the best I’ve ever had. Thank you Buca for helping us celebrate a birthday in style.
