Best Italian I have had in ages. From the calimari, to the veal, to the chicken breast with prociutto and cheese the food was great. To top it off, we were seated at the Chef's Table in the kitchen that was an over the top experience. I won't forget this one for a long while.
Pasta is amazing! I keep coming here to try new things, and I'm never disappointed. Everything so good, service is always wonderful! Stuff cheese rigatoni, highly recommend!!
Chicken pistachio, also highly recommend 👌
All the spicy ones are also good, just if you really can't handle spicy, not for you.
A small will cover up to 8 people, a large will cover 15 or 17, because when ordering usually 3 dishes are ordered, and trust you get full pretty fast, so just a small portion of each will be enough on your plate.
This place is so yummy and a fun place to eat. It’s uniquely decorated and there’s a free parking lot with plenty of space. We went at 6pm on a Saturday and there was no wait for a table. You can make reservations to be safe. They have a full service bar.
Everything is served family style with enough to serve 2-3 and can be ordered large for bigger groups. Everything we tried was great and I’ll definitely be back again to try more menu items.
The service is fast and friendly. I love getting to walk through the kitchen!

Pretty good. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Buca. And I have never been to this location. It was nicely decorated. The host was running around like crazy - I am assuming because more people order to-go now than dining in. But our server was attentive and good. Prices were higher than I expected, but, maybe my expectations need to change these days. I think I will come back again with a larger group. There is a lot of food for the price. I think we could’ve fed 3 or 4. But, hey, leftovers for my husband and me.
Thank you!
We had an office party here. The service was very nice and prompt. They have multiple rooms to accommodate different size of crowd. The negative is that the food isn't up to the standard anymore. Generous portions can't make up for the quality anymore. What was OK 30 or so years ago isn't the expectation of today.

The place is nice with different rooms with different designs. I've already uploaded photos of the room that we dined in. I recommend ordering "Stuffed Pasta"s that include several choices, and it is worth the money that you are going to spend. It is delicious and enough for three or four people. Their portion are small for three and large for five people, then don't panic when you see the prices because you should divide it into three or five.
Their pastas are excellent and highly recommended. About wings, it was okay, but nothing beyond normal wings, which we see everywhere.
I will go over there again.
WONDERFUL time celebrating my sister’s birthday! José took such great care of us, thank you, we will be back!
We had the most amazing server today his name is Joseph. He was very attentive to our needs and always very respectful and polite. I wish we could get him every time we come here which is often I may say so.
A fun, family joint for good Italian eats. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and it’s a pleasant upbeat atmosphere. Rolando was quick and helpful.
My family and I came in to celebrate my daughters birthday 🎉. Let me start by saying that our server JOSE was the absolute best. He came right over and took our order. The food came out less than 10 min later. He even recommended food for my youngest son, the picky eater. Jose you are a complete gem! Your customer service and personality will keep me a loyal customer for years to come. Who am I kidding the rigatoni will keep me coming back too! Thank you for making my daughters birthday dinner special.
Absolutely amazing experience, delicious food, friendly servers, and very relaxing atmosphere. Whenever nervous, just go there and you’ll be calm soon. As for the food, we always order Quattro al Forno which is an assorted plate of Cannelloni, Cheese Ravioli & Stuffed Shells. The portions are very big and at least good enough to feed 3.
Best place to celebrate your special days!
I went there for the first time it was way, way more delicious than I expected. Helga, our waitress, was very attentive and on point. It's a great place to have your party because, the bartender makes best margaritas, children friendly, they have large sitting areas, they have a guy taking really good pictures and it has a cozy & at home feel. The added bonus is Johnathan, the manager, checks up on your table to make sure you're having a great time and enjoying your food. Thanks for the wonderful memories!!! It's total must go and try.
Incredible! The food was delicious and with so many different possibilities, I would definitely have to come back to try something new! Our server, Rolando, was so friendly and attentive. The best way to celebrate a birthday!
Really nice family restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere are superb. Their salmon and chicken are healthier choices for those who want to skip pasta. Great coffee and magnificent tiramisu for dessert delighted our family tonight. Definitely will visit again.
Rolando was amazing! I am going through chemo and I am immuno compromised so when they wanted to seat me and my friends in a crowded room, I was a bit concerned. But Rolando overheard and offered to seat us in a room without anyone and he too great care of us. Amazing server and just amazing that he took note of an issue and solved it before we even knew it was possible. He was awesome! The food is always amazing so thank you to Rolando for making our experience perfect. 🥰
Armondo! Thats the name of our server tonight and I cant rave enough about his service. He was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, definitely coming back knowing our meals are in safe hands with him.
Visited the Encino location to celebrate my birthday. And our server Rolando was great! He was very attentive and very helpful. Checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent service. Definitely coming back. Thank you Rolando for everything. You were awesome!
My family and I came to celebrate a birthday lunch and the food was delicious. The service was also very good. Jose and Ronaldo were very attentive and always on top of the ball when it came to anything we needed. The only thing that surprised me was the cost. We would come to Buca maybe 2-3 times a year to celebrate a birthday or a holiday and I don’t remember it being this expensive. We had a large lasagna, large margarita pizza and large chicken caeser salad and the bill was around $150.
