Reviews for Il Buco in Barrie, ON
Hands down the best penne a la vodka ever. Our waitress Leslie was amazing. We asked if they had burchetta because we didn't see... it on the menu she said not a problem we can make it for you. Over the top service and food was absolutely worth every bite. Read more
Very good restaurant with an excellent view and good service. Just my friend didnt like recommend pasta of the day.
Beautiful dining venue with a patio overlooking the Bay. Nice menu selection and offerings. My food order was amazingly... delicious and prices were reasonable. Ordered beef carpaccio and spicy pasta. Coffee was bold and flavourful. Will return tothis restaurant to try other offerings. Read more
Delicious Italian dinner. My husband took me here for my birthday dinner. I ordered the gnocchi and he ordered the Alfredo.... Clean plate club! We also enjoyed some wine. Service was excellent and our table was indoors. Not too loud so it made for a nicedinner vibe. Would recommend and would definitely visit again when I’m in the area looking for a fine Italian diningexperience. Read more
Great food, ambiance and view of the water. Had the Enrico's famous garlic (very rich and creamy) and the house special: creamy... risotto in a bisque - also delicious. My partner had the Veal Contadina. Veggies were a little undercooked, meat cooked welland the sauce was tasty but not unique. Recommend if you're visiting Barrie. Read more
This Italian restaurant situated in Downtown Barrie was one I have wanted to review for a while. Recently, after many unanswered... phone calls, I finally got through and reserved a table for a Friday night. I was told we had to be finished by a certain houras the table was booked after us. When I arrived I was greeted and offered a table without asking if I had a reservation. Therestaurant had many empty tables. The restaurant decor also looked quite dated. Wine bottles lined almost every knee wall in therestaurant. The waiter that served us was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. I opted for the special that night of Lamb Shank.The service began with some bread and a hummus dip. Definitely out of place for an Italian restaurant. The lamb Shank was a goodportion and excellent. The Seafood pasta was good, but not a s good as a rival restaurant in the downtown core. When it cametime for desert the waiter said the tiramisu was good as, to paraphrase his words, this was an ITALIAN restaurant. Sadly thetiramisu was awful and I could not finish its. It was served in a GLASS like a ice cream sundae which I imagine was the idea ofthe same person who thought hummus would go well in and Italian restaurant. The other desserts of a raspberry truffle was asgood as anything I could get in a supermarket. Worth a try as is other Italian restaurants in the area. If they are sear singthe lamb shank, go for it. In fact it was one of the best I have had and would recommend they make it a staple on the menu asthat would be the only reason I would go back. Read more

Lovely little Italian restaurant in downtown Barrie. Good selection of dishes, vegetarian and gluten free options, entrees... reasonably priced in the $20-30 range. Typically three seatings in the evening @ 5, 6:30 & 8. Thankfully, we had an 8:00reservation, as we had a nice, leisurely meal and didn't leave until well after 10. Read more
