"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"
