Reviews for Buca D'oro Ristorante in Philadelphia, PA

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 dinnerstarted with a platter containing two bruschetta as well as additional freshly made warm Italian bread. Our salads, hersGorgonzola, pear and nuts, mine goat cheese atop spring mix, were fresh and imaginative. Given that every table appeared to bein use, we did end up waiting another 25 minutes after the salad for our entrees. And when they arrived, both her salmon and myveal, shrimp and mixed veggies were quite overcooked. But the sauce was both tasty and warm, which saved the dish. Read more

Made this reservation out of spite after another restaurant messed up our reservation and it was the best decision. Local crowd,... not super fancy, unreal food. Pure Italian at its best! Read more

I very much recommend trying this restaurant. Everything I tried from the polenta & gorgonzola special appetizer, mushroom &... goat cheese flatbread, and the bone-in veal milanese were delicious. The staff is very professional and attentive; and theprices are reasonable. Read more

Food was tasty. One star less: The quantity of food is small compared to the price of the entree. Pricy. Entrance has stairs... going down and it is a beautiful ambiance inside. Read more

I had the largest piece of chicken in my pollo parmigiana! It took up the WHOLE plate! It was absolutely delicious too! Great... wine and wonderful atmosphere! Read more

Ordered the rigatoni bolognese (pictured) and a side of penne. Both were delicious! Only criticism would be I wish the portion... sizes were a little bigger for the price. Read more

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 homemadetartufo (amazing) and the cannoli were delicious. Right now it is BYO until their liquor license is transferred. We can’t waitto go back again.
