    Amazing dining experience--- took my wife out for date night, we were going to the Walnut Street Theater, which is one block away--- staff greeted us right away, drinks in hand within a few minutes. Food was exceptional--- our appetizers were the melanzane margarita (fried eggplant), and the cavolino bruxelles (roasted brussel sprouts)--- they were both very very good. For our entree, my wife went with the Braised Short Rib while I went with Lobster Ravioli. Amazing food. Staff was friendly, place is warm and cozy. Highly recommend!!!!!

    Haven’t been to La Buca since moving out of Philly many years ago. So happy we remembered this place and happy it’s still in business. Loved it - food was excellent and service was above and beyond. Highly recommend!

    Without question, Buca D'Oro is one of the best restaurants in Philly...and that's saying a lot. The food is authentic Italian, with the first bite sending signals of pure pleasure, and rarely a scrap left on the plate...that's how delicious the food is! The ambiance is classic Italian with beautiful mosaics painted on the walls. A true dining experience that will leave you satisfied!

    I have been here before and had a great experience however last night for Valentine’s Day the mark was missed. To start off there was nothing on the website or when making the reservation to say there was a prefixed menu. I was looking forward to access to their full menu and it seems as others were surprise with the menu as well. The food was ok and very small portions. The lemon drop martini was good.
