best italian resturant ever!

by karenmkee at Citysearch

the wait may be a little long but it is so worth it. You get a lot of food for your money. If you have a big family it is the best place to go for th big portions that you. and not to mintion that you can eat right in the kitchen if you reserve the table but it was deffinetly an experient.

Get cozy with friends and family and enjoy an Italian feast at this loved-by-locals restaurant.

In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!

good if you are hungry!

The food is pretty good for this place. I didn't expect much and was pleasantly surprised. Portions are large, but also tasty. We have gone probably a half dozen times and except for two times the food was very good. Except for one time the service was good. It's a bit hokey and we laughed at the gaudy decor at first...but it has a 1950's charm about it.

• Pros: enough for a second meal the next day
• Cons: food could have a little more flavor

Great for families

by chaos69 at Citysearch

It is not the best food ever, although with a 2 year old it is a great place to go. There you can avoid the glares you would normally get at a finer dinning restaurant. If you do not like kids and would prefer to eat somewhere quiet, go somewhere else.

• Pros: Great with kids, leave the tie at home
• Cons: not the place for my wedding anniversery

Are You Kidding???

by luvtacook at Citysearch

Folks!! This is a chain restaurant. It is average at best. Yes, they give you big ol' portions of food. Obviously, that is all that matters to the local yokels here in Charlotte.

If this is the best Italian restaurant that the area has to offer, then Charlotte needs a LOT of help.

Or, Charlotteans just need to get a hog trough to eat out of.

I am sure there is better Italian fare than this in the Big C.

• Pros: LOTS of food!! Come hungry.
• Cons: The food is very average at best. It is typical chain restaurant food. Like Olive Garden.

Unique Dining Experience

by eblanchard88 at Citysearch

This place is gawdy and and over the top from the minute you enter the parking lot. Year round christmas lights and Venecian statues decorate the exterior. The interior does not disappoint. From the initial walk through the kitchen to get to your table to the elaborate pictures of past popes and italian celebrities Buccas has it all. Fake flowers abound and seemingly italian carnival music bursts from the speakers. The service is exceptional and the food loaded with flavor. Bring an appetite as most menu items are meant to be shared. This is a great place to go if you are looking for great food but a little something different. Bring a sense of humor.

Awesome!

by soullover16 at Citysearch

Ya'll have got to get on down to bucca's it is such an amazing place. the moment I walk in the door I am greeted by smiling faces, then we are taken on a tour thru the whole restaurant. Everyone there is so friendly and the food is absoulutly amazing. My favorite is the macaroni rosa. It's corkscrew pasta with creamy pink sauce, juicy chicken,broccoli and mushrooms. I love it. The only thing better is the dessert. There cheese cake is the best cheese cake I have ever eaten hands down. It is so creamy and just makes my mouth water. go try some

Favorite Restaurant!!

by randymack at Citysearch

EVERY time that we go to Bucca's, we love it. We love the food, the service, & the atmosphere! My personal favorites here are chicken saltimboca, macaroni rosa, and the chicken marsala is out of this world!! Oh yeh, the warm spinach & tomato salad is outstanding as well! If you have kids and haven't tried eating in the kitchen, make a reservation to do that. I hate that the people that have posted here had a bad experience, but I guess that happens at every restaurant. I say give it one more shot because my family has had nothing but pleasure from every experience at Bucca. Gotta go, we're on our way to Bucca!!

• Pros: The whole experience...
• Cons: It is at times hard to find a parking space close to the door.
