Amazing! Had the Calamari and a Tarte! The service here is the best! I dont think water was ever half full.
Food and ambiance here were top tier here. i cam in around noon and it was fairly quiet. Overall, the decor is rustic and extremely nice. Would definitely say this is a perfect late night. Would highly recommend stopping in here.
Food was top teir for a date night that won't break your bank. Food was very good and the patio was cute. The server was kind and had great wine recommendations.
3.8 stars for Il Buco is flat out ridiculous. Shame on y'all... I'm done sneak dissing, Kendrick inspired me. Gab G, Giacomo C, Jingshu G, Skyler N y'all need to be held accountable for these 2 and 3 star reviews. We gon give a starbucks 5 stars but Il Buco 3? Y'all are lucky I can't comment on reviews... Anyways - My list of favorite Italian places in New York City is a living, breathing work of art. There are just so damn many of them, and some do get comfortable at the top *cough cough Via Carota cough cough*. The crown is heavy. That being said, Il Buco has consistently been in my top 5. Every time I finish eating here I'm like "why don't I come here more???" All the top 5 have been 1 at some point... I don't actually have a list, this is more of a theoretical list. It is SUCH an authentic Italian dining experience, that on this trip we had to wait 45 minutes to be seated even after arriving on time for our res. I was originally slightly perturbed, but sitting at the bar and enjoying life with my girlfriend and with the staff apologizing 3 times and comping our drinks, how could I be mad? Sh*t happens and they handled it so professionally. I don't ask for much tbh... We were seated at a candlelit 2 person wood table that I can only imagine had been imported from the Tuscan countryside. Our damage this time consisted of the Salumi Platter, Tuscan Kale Salad, the Bikini, Truffle Tagliatelle (Special), and the Bistecca. The Truffle Tagliatelle had me really thanking god for my existence. If something can taste as good as this pasta does, life is worth living. Sometimes I get worried that all of the brightest and most creative minds of our species are busy programming how to make apps more addictive, but this pasta gave me hope. You can't deny the shine of a jedi. Our meal ended with them bringing out a slice of chocolate cake for my baby's birthday which was a great touch and made me look good, so shoutout Il Buco. We also ordered affogatos as they are objectively the best dessert on the planet and a great way to end a spiritual meal. Euphoric. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews
10/10 dining experience truly. From the moment I walked in I felt transported into a quaint little european town village vibe place. The ambiance was perfect. Service was also so lovely and very attentive, we never waited long while waiting for food or water. Ordered a ton and some not pictured: pulpo, tonno, bikini, tagliatelle, (another pasta with sausage), tarte for dessert. Everything was amazing - it's been a while since I have felt blown away by Italian food but this really did the job! It was a little pricey but worth every penny. I will be back. My favorites were definitely the pulpo, tagliatelle, and tarte dessert.
It's a miracle we got same day reservation at this gem of a place. Highly recommend this place :) So it's very vibey and the decor is extremely nice. Somehow it works for both date night and friend gatherings. They have a great wine selection so pls get advice from their sommelier unless you know what you want and what goes with what! Started with their pumpkin flower ricotta cheese fritters (yup that's what I'm calling it because believe it or not my culture also has a similar dish :)) nicely fried well flavored and beautiful appetizer I ordered the tagliatelle that had truffle shavings all over. It went just right with my Sangiovese The other pastas my friends ordered were also delicious. The rigatoncini comes highly recommended as well. Listen to their specials as we ordered from that list and were extremely pleased. One was a version of the bolognese and the other was a good ol carbonara variation They also have olive oil tasting btw if you are interested :) Overall, extremely nice dinner place
From start to finish, every moment of our experience was impeccable. The vibe inside is so cozy and inviting, with a warm and rustic feel. We started with the Croquetas and the Olive Oil Tasting, which was such an interesting and enjoyable experience. We both had the Halibut, which has a citrus salad on top and was served on a bed of olive oil mashed potatoes (incredible). We could not say no to dessert and went with the flourless chocolate cake and the most amazing, fluffy light "donuts" in a berry sauce. Our server was so kind and attentive. It truly was such an enjoyable evening. I look forward to the opportunity to come back!
