4 /5 Rebecca Castro: Whenever we eat some hearty pasta we always go to Buca. This location has good service and very good pasta ! The portions here are “family size” so everything is shareable. A small feeds 3-4 and a large feeds 5-6. The chicken entrees usually come with 3 or 5 pieces of chicken. We ordered the small chicken saltimbocca. It came with 3 pieces or chicken and we cut them in half to feed 5 people. We had 1 half left over..the saltimbocca is chicken with prosciutto on top with lemon and capers and lemon sauce on top. The sauce was great the prosciutto gives the chicken an extra flavor kick. We then got the small penne San Remo (always a favorite). It is penne pasta with a garlic cream sauce and has chicken, peas, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. We also got the small apple Gorgonzola salad which is excellent! It has fresh apples and a vinaigrette dressing that pairs perfectly. Lastly we got a single meatball. They are big and we cut it up to everyone could have a piece. We order here frequently for catering events as well as dine in and takeout.

Update- went back for lunch specials and am devastated to see they took the penne San Remo off the menu entirely. I was literally craving it and didn’t know they took it off until I got there. This is very unfortunate and I am very sad about it. I instead got a lunch portion of the baked ziti and my dad got the lunch spaghetti and meatballs. While all the other pasta is good, they did not add anything to the menu to replace or that closely resembles the San remo in any way. I liked it because I don’t always want a red sauce. The only other white sauce option they have is basically a fettuccini Alfredo.
