We dined at Boketto for my birthday. Our server added so many special touches to make my birthday dinner special. There were rose petals on the table, a delicious mocktail for everyone, a tasty dessert, and a glass of Prosecco for a toast. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about menu options, and gave us great suggestions. The food, service, ambiance, and entire experience was incredible!!

We have been a patron of this Buca location for about 30 years, but had never visited at lunchtime. It was delightful! Adam was a fabulous server, the mixed green with prosciutto and Gorgonzola was excellent as always and the baked ziti, pepperoni pizza and chicken saltamboca were excellent too. Thank you Buca!!!

It was a good dining experience. . . Roomy and the place was not too loud. I had mushroom risotto (which I shared with my son) and my husband had ribeye and a chocolate mousse we shared after the meal. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was exceptional. We’re glad to hear that they will resume their lunch hours. We will definitely go back.
