"We spent almost $300 the other day and I was SO disappointed and pretty upset. We needed dinner fast and triedBucas for the first time in a long time. It was TERRIBLE. How food can be that tasteless is beyond me. The Italian Broccoli Romano was BLAND...how w Romano cheese on it idk but the tray was full of water at the bottom and it was barely edible. Like it was blanched and thrown in the tray spri with Romano. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was disgusting. The shrimp were boiled and again tasteless. Its like salt was banned or something. There was absolutely NO seasoning at all. The entire dish tasted like boiled plain pasta w some kind of watery pink juice thstwas supposed to be sauce apparently. The Spaghetti with Meatballs had barely any sauce. At close to $40 for an entree id expect more then boiled pasta and two meatballs and naked pasta. Again, this tray too was filled about a quarter deep but not with marinara....it was water. Like the pasta wasnt drained completely. We ordered cheesygarlic bread and that too was almost inedible. The cheese actually tasted off almostor we were given sone old stale bread. It was very hard and again, no flavor, it just tasted old. Oh Iforgot the Fettuccine Alfredo. That was basically a tray of pasta swimming in its water w sprinkles of parmes cheese. My son is autistic and LOVES fettuccini. Sadly he wouldnt eat it. So another tray of food gone to waste. This was our monthly big treat and since it was also his late birthday celebration I thought we would splurge and get him his favorite food. I ended up having to cook anyway smh If it was possible to give zero stars I would. How they are in business is beyond me. Save your money because as unpalatable as chef boy rdee is it actually is a step up from this place. Worst Italian restaurant ever imo"

"First time visiting this establishment and you couldn’t pay me to go back. I honestly can’t say a single good thing about this place. Arrived 5 minutes before scheduled reservation and wasn’t seated until 15 minutes after reserved time even though the restaurant was not busy. The host did not greet us and after we told her we had a reservation she just said “ok” and continued doing whatever she was doing. After 10 minutes of waiting we asked her how long it would be and she said they’re cleaning your table now, which was a lie because there was 6 of us and the way the restaurant is designed we could see clear into the dining room and we were looking right at the only table big enough to accommodate us and it was already clean. The waiter took our food and drink orders and never came back to the table. He never even looked in our direction each time he walked passed the table. He never brought us plates so when someone else brought the food we had to wait for someone to bring plates. One of the dishes was never rang in and we had to flag someone down to let them know we were missing food. Meanwhile, the food was getting cold because we had no plates, which some were dirty when we finally got them. We had to flag down someone for drink refills. The missing dish, which was for a little girl who was in tears because she never got food, finally came as we were paying the tab. The bartender took our complaint and comped the item, which should have been a no brainer but he never got the manager involve. That should have been the first step seeing how displeased we were. As we were leaving we saw the manager standing around at the host station. After expressing our complaints to him, rather than to manage the situation he proceeded to make every excuse as to why we received terrible service. I wish I could say the food was worth it but it was far from it. The food was just as unpleasant as the service so most of it was left uneaten. Awful. Just awful. Never going back."
