Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Buca D'oro Ristorante is a "hidden gem" in Philly's Old City, offering authentic Italian cuisine with "excellent food and amazing service." The charming ambiance, attentive staff, and "fresh classical Italian" menu make it a favorite spot for pre-theater dining. Guests rave about the gluten-free options and homemade Limoncello.

    I'm still dreaming about the incredible meal I had at Buca Doro, the cozy Italian restaurant in the heart of the city. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family by the warm and welcoming staff. Our server, Gesti, was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, helping us navigate the extensive selection of traditional Italian dishes. For my main course, I opted for the Spaghetti Bolognese, which was cooked to a perfect al dente and smothered in a rich and meaty sauce. My companion's Chicken Parmesan was equally impressive, with a crispy exterior giving way to tender and juicy chicken. But the real standout was the Tiramisù, which was creamy, coffee-infused, and utterly divine. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall, I highly recommend Buca D'oror to anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. The food is delicious, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and intimate.

    The service was undoubtedly affected by "the holidays", since the restaurant was the most crowded I've ever seen it. But it took a long time for our order to be taken and brought to the table. The food was excellent, as it has been on previous occasions when we've eaten there.

    We love Buco D’Oro. Have dined here many times. The food and ambiance is wonderful!! Tonight, specifically, our service was just okay. Waiter was inattentive and really not interested in pleasing the customer (ps we are very easy to please). I still recommend because every other time I’ve been there, it’s been wonderful.

    The service was poor. The server never returned to see if the orders were satisfactory or to see if we wanted more drinks. The bread was cold as were the meatballs ordered as an appetizer. The rest of the food was mediocre.
