Had eaten there before and enjoyed it. Went for an early lunch. We all had either pasta or risotto, and it was agreed that it was good. But there were no vegetables to be found, no small salad, nothing crunchy. It was kind of like eating oatmeal in the morning and heading off to work. Not a real meal. The food was just average, although the bread and olives were very good.
I had a salad which was tiny and just okay. I would go there for a drink to sit on the patio, which I had done prior to this visit. Great food, interesting wine list and attentive and friendly service. The main room can get a little loud so for a quiet tete a tete would suggest the wine cellar. I love this place!
I think this restaurant is amazing, truly delicious food, knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere And can't wait to return.
We enjoyed the restaurant. The only complaint that we had was it was too dark inside. Many people were using their cellphones or the candles on the table to see their menu, including us. Drew wine recommendation was great and she was really charming. Have the Pomodoro soup and lamb! Second time here. Love it. Cosy, authentic, relaxed and romantic ambience.
Which is fine apart from the fact that there are diners at the bar so we have to lean over them to order drinks which was way too awkward — especially if there are more than 2 of you.
The menu is all seasonal so everything we enjoyed was fresh and delicious. The bread basket was nice with the delicious nutty olive oil. All our courses were fresh and delicious and the wine list is a treat for any buffs — a varied price range too. The tables are mostly large and shared but they have a neat way of splitting larger tables with plants which works really well. Great service excellent environment. Good match food and wine. Very disappointed with the food choices and prep and presentation.
The staff was easily confused and did keep track of orders and arrival of food. The starter was good with different kinds of charcuteri.
The risotto tasted like rice porridge and was not good at all. It is an easy dish to do, so I dont understand how it could turn out like this. Also I did not find the Zucchini Flowers that was in the description of the dish. During dinner suddenly I got bitten like ten times on each leg - it did not seem like mosquitoes so maybe it was fleas.
We were sitting outside and the neighbours at the table had brought their dog The place is too pricy for what it is. The service was excellent! Loved Il Buco. The food was sensational and the flavours extremely well considered. Very good sized portions too and great for sharing so we could try more! Service was impeccable, the staff were friendly and very knowledgable in wine recommendations and matching with food.
We had the ceviche, prawns, octopus and risotto. All simply delicious. The highlight was the fruit tart and wine match though! We had gluten, vegan and regular diet diners and we all loved it. Definitely would recommend. The service was great. The food was exceptional. The noise level last Thursday was abusive. Management should consider asking obnoxious parties to be more considerate of others. Everyone at the communal table was suffering. We were pushed out before dessert. It's a shame.
It was always one of our favorite restaurants when we were dating. The atmosphere lends itself to intimacy even though around you in the shadow filled room the service impeccably dances around to deliver a memorable evening. Click to order from one of our locations. Explore the Original Restaurant. Our Story. Originally opened in as a rustic antique store on NoHo's cobblestoned Bond Street, il Buco is today one of the most beloved restaurants in New York City.
As pioneers on Bond Street, independent filmmaker Donna Lennard and her then partner, Alberto Avalle, invited their antique customers to join them for their midday "pranzo" before procuring a wine and beer license and creating an eclectic mediterranean menu—part Italian, part Spanish, part invention—dedicated to sourcing the greatest prime ingredients both locally and in Avalle's native Italy.
The il Buco culinary philosophy is firmly rooted in the Italian tradition of seasonality and the integrity of all ingredients. Our cuisine is inspired by mother Italy as well as the Iberian Peninsula. We spend an enormous amount of time sourcing ingredients and derive great pleasure in working with our producers to bring the best product to your table.
