Celebrated my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary - thanks to Buca D'Oro for taking great care of our large party Saturday. The food was delicious, service was awesome. Our party couldn't remember what we had ordered but our server knew it all perfectly.
Highly recommend for dinner or gathering.
This place is a low key, authentic haven. The staff was friendly and patient and gave stellar recommendations. Especially when dealing with our large group of 10 people. We were there for about 3 hours and they never rushed us or tried to hurry us out.
The cocktails were delicious and strong and the pasta and seafood was fresh. The quality and flavors were second to none.
Will absolutely be returning.
Had Lunch here today, super cute place and everything was delicious. A little on the pricey side but would recommend.
Phenomenal. High level of attentive service. Food was tasty and well put together. I wouldn't miss it if you're in the area. Great restaurant.
My friend and I enjoyed dinner before a Saturday evening performance at the Walnut Street Theater. After walking down their outdoor very long brick staircase, we came to a lively bright set of restaurant rooms with widely spaced tables. Our dinner started with a platter containing two bruschetta as well as additional freshly made warm Italian bread. Our salads, hers Gorgonzola, pear and nuts, mine goat cheese atop spring mix, were fresh and imaginative. Given that every table appeared to be in use, we did end up waiting another 25 minutes after the salad for our entrees. And when they arrived, both her salmon and my veal, shrimp and mixed veggies were quite overcooked. But the sauce was both tasty and warm, which saved the dish.
This was a cool spot! I loved the entrance and the decor; you literally feel like you’re stepping into Italy.
The food was good, but nothing special. I had the veal saltimbocca and was pretty salty. Nothing was especially flavorful, it was all just good. I would compare it to an Olive Garden experience.
We came here because we wanted authentic Italian food in a nice setting. Buca D'oro did not disappoint! The staff was incredibly friendly, made us laugh and made us feel incredibly comfortable. You can feel the family vibes. The food was amazing, good portions but when you're finished you don't feel so heavy. The food was so fresh, the pasta delicious with authentic flavors and the dessert (the tempation cake) was out of this world. I'll 100% be coming back when I'm back in Philly to this very nice place. Thank you to our servers who made our experience so wonderful! We are so happy we found it.
My family and I, along with friends, dined at Buca D’Oro last night for the first time. The food and service were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Some of the dishes we had were the grilled octopus and fried calamari, along with a couple salads. Dinners were delicious jumbo lump crab pasta, seafood pescatore, risotto and lamb chops to name some. The dessert of homemade tartufo (amazing) and the cannoli were delicious. Right now it is BYO until their liquor license is transferred. We can’t wait to go back again. Try it..you will not be disappointed!!

This place has some of the best Italian food I've ever eaten. The fried calamari is perfectly fried, and the basil aioli was such a beautiful compliment to the wonderfully acidic marinara. I got the risotto with veal sausage and was blown away by how tasty this dish was. Everything was balances and each ingredient perfectly seasoned and prepared. Finally we ended the night on the homemade tiramisu. This tiramisu was so well made and light, I was stunned. All of this, was hard to fully appreciate for the following reasons. The atmosphere in this space is DATED. I felt like I was in the late 80's and it wasn't the fun 80's. The interior is old and looks generally bizarre for the year 2023. The service was an experience within itself. We couldn't order lemon wedges and had a difficult time getting seated. The waiting room before the restaurant was barren and uncomfortable and the host had no idea we were waiting to be seated for like 15 minutes. The table service was also super bizarre as we had a hard time communicating to any of the 3 staff(all waiters/waitresses) that came to our table.
I loved the food. I was surprised by how good the food was (the bread was also giving me store bought vibes- not sure it was fresh.)
I don't know how a place like this isn't packed but im assuming it's the staffing and decor. If you have the patience this place is 100% worth a try.
Basement restaurant without any windows, but they have done a wonderful job keeping it lit as well as romantic. Expensive specials that made it difficult to choose from such a wide variety. Wonderful bar at the front. The staff were very knowledgeable about the specials.
