Bucci

I had a wonderful dinner at this place. This was the first time I had roasted watermelon and it was great. The hot-hot linguini I had with shrimp and banana peppers was delicious and slightly spicy. My relative said her whitefish was one of the best she’s ever had. The toasted almond cake for dessert tasted like tiramisu and was excellent. Our waitress Gina provided wonderful service.

This place is a must visit. The food is good, all appetizers are small portions so you can get to enjoy your main dish. They have a full open concept kitchen instead of the regular full bar, where you can seat and enjoy the view of the chef and cooks preparing your Meals. Very nice entertainment as you wait and have a drink. Even when is almost one hour out of my way, I will definitely be back with families and friends.

This used to be one of my absolute favorite spots. I used to come here every other week before covid. Since covid, the quality of their food has definitely decreased and since the remodel I feel like they are even shorter staffed. They want to give you the Italian experience of drinks followed by courses, but it really is too difficult to get any server's attention. I'd highly recommend the artichokes and calamari here. Sadly, my scallops were undercooked, raw in fact. The sausage and peppers had spots of a really spicy seasoning, as if it didn't get properly mixed in. I miss the old Bucci. I won't be back nearly as often.

This past Friday my aunt took me to Bucci for the first time. It opens at 5pm, when I first walked in I was so excited because of the service. We walked in and the staff greeted us and was soooo nice. Lights dim, elegant vibe. We sat at the bar because we didn't have reservations, they were more than happy to seat us. I love the open kitchen, we sat and watched the chef and the kitchen staff do their thing and I loved every minute of it. I felt like I was on a cooking show, watching the orders come in and fresh food come out, the chef yells out the order and everyone starts prepping. The food......... I had the artichoke soup to start, I didn't know what to expect but it was delicious. For entrée I had the lobster risotto which was one of the specials that night. Omg must have. Fresh lobster, risotto was creamy and flavorful. My aunt had the chicken parmesan, she absolutely loved it. I think coming back and sitting at the bar will be my go to. Thank you for an amazing first experience. I will definitely be back to try some different dishes.
