Il Buco is a charming and rustic restaurant, known for its fresh and perfectly seasoned dishes. The gambas, or shrimp, are a popular choice among customers. The restaurant's drink selection, including bubbly and a variety of wines, is also highly regarded. The cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it a great place to spend time with friends or meet new people, especially in the wine cellar where the space is quieter and more comfortable for conversation. The restaurant offers a good variety of appetizers, such as the ricotta cheesecake, which is light and tasty, and the squash blossoms, perfectly fried and filled with a silky, savory stuffing. The food quality is outstanding, with dishes full of flavor, like the skirt steak with purple potatoes, and the spaghetti with king crab, which is light yet satisfying. Service is generally very good, with well-paced timing, although there was a moment when the pasta sat out a bit too long. The ground floor dining area has a lively vibe, while the wine cellar provides a more relaxed environment. The restaurant is a popular spot for couples and special occasions, with some reviews mentioning it as a romantic location for dates and anniversaries. The menu features a variety of appetizers and main dishes, making it easy to enjoy a full and impressive meal.
