My mom and I decided to have a girls day and go to the Hamptons. We stop by II Buco al Mare for lunch and it was well worth it. We sit near the bar it was such a cozy, classy atmosphere throughout the whole restaurant. The burrata, carrots, corn, and steak that I had was delicious and so was chocolate cake. My mom and I can't wait to go back!

This is a fabulous restaurant. The whole fish is so delicious...very flavorful and flaky. The prawns are to die for as are the cannelli beans. We were not crazy about the steak. It was very thin and dry even though we ordered it medium and there wasn't much of it. Excellent service...we felt very taken care of. Atmosphere is lovely. Bustling but not too loud. We had a wonderful evening!

Il Buco is a beautifully decorated restaurant with a charming outdoor terrace at the back. Unfortunately, our visit on September 19th around 1pm was not as enjoyable as we had hoped. Inside, it was simply too loud due to a large group celebrating, which made it difficult to enjoy the atmosphere.
Service was mixed, Alejandra took care of us politely, though nothing stood out as exceptional. This was still better than the other server working that day, who sadly did not seem suited for the role.
The food was good, but again, not outstanding. For the Long Island prices charged, I expected a bit more in both quality and service. Overall, it was an average experience, falling short of the high expectations set by the restaurant’s beautiful setting.

Food was delicious, starting from prawns to the steak that was cooked to perfection, with that tomato salad and buckwheat bread to dip it in, OMG, it was an experience. Paired perfect with a carafe of red that Maria the bartender reccomended.
Great spot, will be back for sure.

Excellent food, the chef knows what she’s doing. I recommend the burrata, carrots, corn, and steak. For dessert I tried the chocolate cake, it was deliciously sweet. Surprisingly great espresso, too. The service is great, very kind bartenders and servers. The manager is a great guy, very accommodating and kind. Il buco is my favorite place to visit every time I visit Amagansett.

Overhyped, overcrowded place (everyone is on top of each other, constantly pushed or touched).
All the food we ordered was too salty or too spicy or overcooked.
Couldn’t even taste the steak , it was all covered with spices , sauce and unchewable. Usually when something is bad you try to cover it with spices/sauces. Had 3 bites and sent it back.
We were missing 2 steaks, burrata , drinks constantly.
Do not recommend for a dinner, maybe just drinks at the bar.

Amazing food. So much so we came back twice during our trip to the area. Service was a bit impersonal and slow the first night, but the second night our server Max took care of us and we had a great experience.
Get the margherita focaccia, crispy canellini beans, and skirt steak. You won’t be disappointed.
Seating is a bit tight, but the ambiance is lovely. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I are huge fans of the Il buco restaurants generally, and al Mare in Amagansett didn’t disappoint. Every corner of the establishment is beautiful so one can’t really go wrong with where they choose to sit. My favorite was the sea bass with eggplant, peppers, tomato and pine nuts- a really simple dish, celebrating each and every ingredient. We were a bit surprised by the limited pasta options on the menu but the seafood more than made up for it.

Food is very good here! Only complaint is the last visit the staff was all over the place and food took a while. Will have to go back again!
