My girl friend and I went for dinner to Bucci on Friday evening. The booking was made in the morning for that reason we did not have any other option but take limited seating from 6pm to 7:30pm. We turned up and were seated earlier - at 5:45pm even though they had a sign up about opening at 6pm. Good service and that part.

We decided to share entrees (CIABATTA RUSTICA and RICOTTA DELLA NONNA AL FORNO CON FICHI)
and IL POLPO ARROSTITO. Food was fresh and delicious. It was first time I tested fresh figs and was very nicely surprised by its taste. Octopus was very well prepared. Baked ricotta was interestingly presented. Service was professional and friendly.

The only one thing I was a bit disappointed with was selection of wines. They apparently do not have any slightly sweet wine that is not desert wine. I had a coctail (listed as first) that was slightly sweet but sour more.

I would recommend to anyone taste BUCCÏ GELATO E SORBETO SELECTION as desert. Gelato was light but satisfactory. BUCCI TIRAMISU had a rich layer of cacao on top, decarated by piece of delicisious dark thin piece of chocolate.

I was very impressed with the restaurant, food and service they deliver. The only one unfortunate is pricing...it is definitely a great venue for special occassion but definitely not for regular dinning :(

Approximate cost: $35-40
