About Cucina Buca

Cucina Buca offers a delightful culinary journey through Italian cuisine in the heart of Toronto. The restaurant's warm ambiance and inviting aromas set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu celebrates traditional Italian flavors with a modern twist, featuring dishes like homemade tagliatelle with rich ragu and inventive small plates. However, some recent feedback mentions that while the restaurant was only 30% occupied, contacting them for reservations can be challenging, as calls often go to an answering machine. Upon arrival, the relaxed manager provides a warm welcome, and guests are seated and served without issues, although some feel there could be more warmth in the atmosphere.

The attentive staff generally offers friendly and knowledgeable service, enhancing the overall experience. Cucina Buca also boasts an impressive selection of Italian wines and craft cocktails, with a sommelier available to assist in finding the perfect pairing. While the restaurant has received praise for its exceptional food and kind staff, certain dishes have received mixed reviews. Appetizers such as bread knots and fresh ricotta are well-liked, but some pasta dishes, including the conchiglie and fresh pasta, have been described as undercooked or too salty. The proteins, like branzino and chicken, along with sides, have been highlighted as perfection.

Desserts like tiramisu have not met everyone's expectations, with some finding them lacking the classic texture. Despite these critiques, Cucina Buca remains a popular destination for lovers of Italian cuisine in Toronto, appealing to both regular diners and those hosting special events. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the appetizers and proteins while considering their options for pasta.
