I love Bucco. The food is consistently great, seriously great. The atmosphere is cozy yet sophisticated. Warm and friendly service. Bucco is BYO but there is a liquor store nearby which delivers.Jenn, one of the owners, is always helpful with menu suggestions, special requests and great conversation. Do yourself a favor and book a table soon.

I recently visited this restaurant with a reservation at 8pm on a Thursday, only to find it almost empty, which was the first sign of an unusual dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance lacked warmth, and while they offered both a QR code and a physical menu, inconsistencies between them were the first major issue.Upon ordering, I noticed a significant discrepancy between the prices listed on the QR code and the physical menu, with the latter being inexplicably higher. Having dined at Luiginos nearby, which I consider superior, I was surprised to find this establishment's pricing higher, especially for their chicken parmesan. Unfortunately, the quality did not match the price. The chicken parmesan was overly thick, excessively covered in sauce, and the accompanying spaghetti marinara reminded me of something you'd expect as a cheap side from a pizzeria.The most troubling part of the evening came with the bill. Not only were the prices higher than those on the QR code menu, but when we pointed out this discrepancy, the response from the individual who appeared to be the owner was far from courteous. Her demeanor was dismissive as she assured us the mistake would be corrected, seemingly underestimating our ability to recognize and challenge the overcharge.In conclusion, this was a disappointing dining experience characterized by poor food quality, questionable pricing practices, and unsatisfactory customer service. It's disheartening to see a restaurant not only fail to deliver on the culinary front but also handle customer concerns with such a lack of grace. I cannot see myself returning or recommending this establishment to others.

What a wonderful night out dining at Bucco in Bloomfield! The food was simply out of this world, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was great overall. My wife and I had dinner followed by cappuccino and dessert and we enjoyed all the food immensely. There was even a little combo performing live music.The establishment itself is reminiscent of the little places you might find tucked away in urban dining neighborhoods like Restaurant Row in New York City. But, of course it's actually situated in the township of Bloomfield in New Jersey, which has an urban flavor in its downtown area but is otherwise quite suburban. Anyway, Bucco is also easy to get to and right across the street is the entrance to a very affordable parking garage.I can't say enough good things. Highly recommended.

We contacted Bucco’s for a repast. We worked directly with Jenn and the entire process could not have been easier. She helped us create the perfect menu to accommodate all of our guests. The attention to detail was impeccable and everyone in attendance loved every bit of it. She made such a sad time, as enjoyable as it could possibly be. The food was outstanding and we genuinely felt like we were home. The cozy atmosphere was just what we needed. There was a parking garage across the street so parking was not an issue. This place is a must for intimate gatherings. You will not be disappointed.Parking: $1 an hour in a secure parking garage

Unfortunately, we devoured the artichoke appetizer before being able to capture a picture. Jen was absolutely delightful! Happy to have stumbled upon this place.

Solid go-to Italian. Although wish the proportion sizes were bigger but still good Italian nonetheless
