La Buca Reviews
I love La Buca, we go here for birthdays and celebrations. The owners are wonderful people and their whole family is involved in the business. Really friendly staff and amazing food you can customize to your ideal dream pasta. Good gluten free options but omg the best Cesar Salad in Portland!
Fabulous Italian in a rustic relaxed atmosphere. Generous portions, highly recommended! The Pollo Marsala was delicious!
My wife and go to la buca frequently and we are never disappointed. Food is so beyond good. I’m picky about my Italian food and they nail it every time. The aperol spritz is delicious too. Eat here!

La Buca offers an intimate setting with soft yellow walls, candles, and background music, creating a quaint atmosphere for dining. The menu features dishes like short rib ravioli, burrata with sliced tomatoes, and Abituale - penne pasta with spicy Italian sausage in a tomato cream sauce. The restaurant caters to various dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegan options, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Complimentary bread is a nice touch, and the servers are happy to package leftovers to go. Customers praise the impeccable service and the amazing food, with some highlighting the delicious bread pudding and wonderful chocolate cake. The portions are generous, and the use of olive oil and flavorful dressings make the dishes very tasty. Some guests find the fettuccine alfredo bland and light on sauce, while others say the aperol spritz is delicious. Even on busy nights, the service stays friendly and the food remains fantastic. Overall, La Buca is a great choice for those seeking a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere, and it remains an important part of the Kerns neighborhood.
