In Short – Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course.

the best fake Italian retaurant I've been too..a failure to the culinary society
by boringdate at Citysearch
Please, Please for the love of culinary existence, do not go to this restaurant...It's nothing but a trendy, fake, and disusting of a typical chain restaurant. Thinking that italian food consisist only of oil (I don't think they use olive oil) and garlic powder, this place of culinary nightmare shoves to our face, or to our not so accepting appetite, that...oil and garlic powder. No spices, no simplicity, and no originality, Buca tries to stand up as an Italian restaurant, but with an ugly trendy and "place to go" atmosphere. Buca also pretends to be authentic, with waiters and crazy follwers claiming it's a place where the food is the same as if you are dining in Palermo, Naples, or Venice. In reality it is a place where you wait an hour for a plate of noodles and ketchup, a place where the decor is a result of the owner seeing too much Godfather movies, and finally a place where u get served by a number of idumb young people who don't speak a word of Italian
- Pros: none..ok ok the music is alright..they actualy play Italian music
- Cons: i need ten pages to write the cons

avoid altogether

Charming and fun place, but the "Italian" food is not all that good. The meatballs can be bounced off the floor.
Besides, most chain restaurants are usually not very good, there are however exceptions.
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: The food
