The food doesn’t taste bad, but it’s very greasy! Portions are extremely small and the prices are extremely steep. No options for people who have restrictions or dietary needs. Wouldn’t go back!
October 2025
I had a fantastic experience at Osteria La Buca. The standout of the night was definitely the bacon and honey pizza—a perfect balance of sweet and savory that kept me going back for slice after slice. While they didn’t have ranch dressing, the server recommended an anchovy and vinaigrette sauce instead, and it ended up being the perfect complement to the pizza—tangy, salty, and unexpectedly delicious.
The broccolini was another highlight, cooked perfectly...

They have a beautiful wine selection; we tried the Lambrusco and the Buca Juice, both of which were excellent. The entire experience felt thoughtful, warm, and delicious from start to finish. Highly recommend!
