I had an amazing dining experience! Corrie was such a wonderful server — attentive, friendly, and made everything feel so easy and enjoyable. The penne vodka and the veal chop were absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

This is my go-to restaurant when I want to celebrate - whether it be a birthday, anniversary or work yearly holiday get-together. All the food is exceptional and NEVER disappoints. Every server has been over the top amazing and I want to give a hats off to all of you. A shout-out to Corrie amongst all my regular phenomenal lovelies who is just a simply wonderful human and made my anniversary/Valentines night one to be cherished! What a gem Corrie is and we are so very lucky to have her there! Always greeted with a smile from all of you, and when I come, it feels like I am coming home to family. Thank you! And to all those that do always dine here - let's take a moment to celebrate this gorgeous local restaurant and to honour their exceptional team who will always go above and beyond to make your every experience a memorable one! Til I see you again - cannot wait!

This restaurant definitely lived up to its reviews and recommendation. Ordered the beef carpaccio salad and Pappardelle Funghi E Tartufo. The beef was lovely, possibly could’ve used a little less acidity but would order again. The pasta was well cooked and creamy. A little heavy, simple palette as advertised. Our server was present, communicative, informed and personable. She did a fantastic job. Finished off with a tiramisu which did not disappoint. The atmosphere was a little dark (black ceilings) and red walls all throughout. Not accessible for individuals who can’t use stairs. Food was adequately priced for the quality!

Il Buco is one of those places where you feel taken care of from the moment you arrive. The food is beautifully prepared—simple, rich in flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Everything tastes intentional, not rushed.

The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a long conversation or a special dinner without feeling stiff. Service is attentive and warm, making the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable.

It’s the kind of place you leave feeling satisfied, grounded, and already thinking about coming back. Highly recommend.

This place is EXCEPTIONAL! We stopped by on our way back to Toronto and were looking for a restaurant with a view of the water. Not only is the view gorgeous, but the food was delicious, John (our server) was attentive and personable, they had a robust selection of very tasty wine, and everything was very reasonably priced.

Thank you to John, the chefs, and the whole team for taking such great care of us. We will be back in two weeks!

We enjoyed Caesar salad, steamed muscles and creme brulee with a great bottle of Barolo. John was an excellent server. Highly recommended.

We went to this restaurant for our anniversary and the service was exceptional! We started with the Lemon Garlic Shrimp and it was good to share. We both got pasta (Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo and a ravioli. Our server was fantastic - she was attentive and super friendly.

Opentable Diner

Disappointed. It has been a little over a year since we were there and the food was not as remembered. The beets in the roasted beet salad were not roasted and there were only a few crumbs of blue cheese. I had the veal mare e monti. The sauce was watery and over salted and the mixed veggies consisted of one slice of roasted pepper, two carrot sticks and one floret of broccoli. The veal was ok but the portion was not generous. Il Buco use to be out special place to go but no longer Im sorry to say.
