The parking lot is compact. We arrived around 5:00ish. I highly recommend making a reservation; although we walked in, it would have been beneficial to have one. The Italian decor features beautifully displayed wine bottles and the dining area is absolutely stunning. The ambiance is quite elegant. The service was great with our waiter being friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and we particularly enjoyed the Merluzzo and Salmone dishes, both of which were very tasty. The prices were fair. read more

We had a delicious meal at Buca's. 7:30 Resy and called same day to request outdoor seating. Our table was ready as promised. Outdoor seating overlooks the parking lot but it does not detract from a nice outdoor option. We shared a grilled romaine salad that everyone loved. Perfect amount of smokiness with minor char. She had the Veal Saltimboca which was rich and delicious and a large portion (half came home). I had the pasta with shrimp and Italian sausage in a spicy red sauce with portabellas and it was delicious (none came home!). Friend had the vongole and loved it. We easily found something on the wine by the glass list. Overall, a really nice dinner with very good service. read more

The Buca's team did a great job! Martin helped modify our reservation so we could be welcomed right in. The food was cooked properly and really delivered a tasty experience. I had the seafood stew which was fresh, tender and seasoned properly. The cannoli is a tasty ending, for sure. Jackie did a great job recommending and serving. We sat in "the alcove" and loved the vibe. A great experience we can highly recommend! Thank you! read more

Still one of my favorite restaurants on Cape Cod. This trip we ordered off the specials menu. The swordfish and bay scallops were delicious! Service was fantastic and the dining room is still small but cozy. read more

Buca's is a great little spot on the Cape. Semi in the middle of nowhere in what looks like a converted house it is a very intimate setting. We were able to snag bar seats on a Saturday the day before. The two appetizers of Burrata - Warm Fresh Mozzarella Burrata, Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Roast Garlic, Olive Oil, Balsamic Glaze, Crostini and Calamari Fritti - Fried Calamari, Hot Cherry Peppers, Marinara were outstanding. So flavorful and delicious. The pasta courses we ordered were great but here is the one downside, they are huge. Honestly should gotten one more appetizer and one pasta dish split between us. Can be a tight parking lot! Very tasty and a great spot and good value. read more

This was our first time here and it was such a wonderful experience. The dining room is so pretty with chandeliers and grapevines and clusters of grapes hanging all around. The food was all perfect. We ordered fried fontina, gnocchi with sausage and wild boar bolognese and the Italian wedding cake. We loved everything. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

Great food great service but make a reservation early. Very hard to get a table during the season

Service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant. Outdoor seating has heat lamps over the table. The food was all 10 out of 10. Could be the best warm bread I have had at any restaurant. The meatballs are fantastic and I am super picky with meatballs. The bolognese was terrific. The eggplant parm was the best. The Cacio e Pepe pasta was unbelievable. We can't say enough good things about how great this restaurant was. read more

Parking was very limited. We didn't have the best of seats inside the restaurant. And to add to that, we had awful service. Our server could not have been more disinterested in being there. She never refilled our water glasses, never came by once to see how the food was, and never asked if we wanted another drink. I would not go there again. Additionally, I would not recommend Buca's to anyone. read more

Ambience and service were excellent! We came in late but staff were very attentive. Food came in sooner than expected, but dishes we had were mediocre. My fish seemed to be overcooked, a little chewy, and still don't understand plethora of currants in spaghetti Pomodoro. read more

Yummy! Went with a bunch of friends and wasn't expecting very much (it's the Cape!) but wow they really blew me away. The specials were delicious. (especially the swordfish) and the mozzarella salad. It was all Very good. Cute little spot might be nice with a date. Highly recommend. read more

Bucca's is an upscale Italian restaurant nestled in Chatham, Massachusetts--and it checks every box of what I want in a great Italian dining experience. The atmosphere is warm, rustic, and romantic, with an authentic Italian vibe that runs from the decor to the music to the menu. Our server was excellent--attentive without being overbearing, and spot-on with his recommendations. We started with a classic: calamari. It was cooked to perfection--lightly breaded, well-seasoned, and tender without being rubbery. Exactly how it should be. My wife ordered the Merluzzo--a beautifully roasted cod served with gnocchi. The fish was flaky and full of flavor, and the gnocchi were a standout: slightly crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. A perfect balance. I had the seafood stew, which came in a rich tomato-based broth filled with clams, shrimp, and fish. Every bite was bursting with flavor--comforting, savory, and layered with just the right amount of spice and depth. I didn't want it to end. (sadly I accidentally deleted the pic.) I only wish this place was closer to home so I could eat here more often. But until then, I'll be counting down the days until our next trip to the Cape. Bucca's has definitely earned a spot on our must-visit list read more

Had reservations at 5:30 and was seated promptly. Started off with a lemon martini for cocktail - tad string but good. For an app we got the Fontina Fritta - it was delicious!!! Their bread is also so good. Out entrees consisted of chicken parm and chicken saltimbocca. Both were prepared with a chicken breast with wing. Never had either prepared with bone in chicken. It was different with the bone in but the taste was wonderful. Not sure I can get on the bone in bandwagon but it was nice to try it. read more

Atmosphere is charming and cozy. The food is always excellent. I recommend sitting in dining room to get the full experience.

Well I hate saying this, but disappointed with this place. First and foremost the server was outstanding. Super nice, very relaxed and very friendly. Not sure if it was the owner or manager at the door, but either way, he could care less about people. Not a hello or welcome. All he said without even looking at us was reservation. So for the rest. We started with the bruschetta and charred Caesar salad. The Caesar was tasty and they split it, so it was nice. The bruschetta was just ok. It was covered with a huge mound of ricotta and marinated tomatoes. It was just so so. Not much flavor and not that impressive. For dinner I had the pasta à la Vogel and my wife had the shrimp scampi. Her scampi was a dry pile of pasta with breadcrumbs and overcooked shrimp. Literally some oil on the bottom or the plate. My dish was good, unfortunately it was a little bit of pasta in a bowl of clam broth with garlic and way to much parsley. The restaurant was beautiful inside and had a very romantic atmosphere and ambiance. Unfortunately on our next trip to cape cod, this place is off the list. read more

This is great place. The food and service are excellent and great for a special occasion. The only complaint I have is the vongole is supposed to be served with little necks. The serving I had was with cherrystones. Much tougher and not as sweet. For a top notch restaurant, they should notice the difference. read more

My mom and I really enjoyed the food, service, and ambience at this restaurant. After a few days on the cape, we really wanted some good Italian food, and we weren't disappointed. The bread was delicious. We were in the mood for the chicken piccata and decided to try it. The servings were large, and we left with leftovers. Our server was very attentive and helpful. If we were a little hungrier, we would have stayed for dessert. Maybe next time! read more

We enjoyed everything at Buca's. Highly recommend making reservations. We dined on the porch and it was a beautiful experience. Our server, Jack is outstanding. We each had the Southern Italian Peach Bourbon old fashions, amazing. Their bread is Italian crusty served hot and top grade olive oil for dipping, heavenly. Appetizer we shared the Special Bruschetta (warm cantaloupe, arugula, prosciutto, over bread that was topped with ricotta and a glaze, scrumptious. For dinner we ordered & shared the Special Frutti di Mare it was excellent, served hot, seafood perfectly cooked and the spaghetti was al dente. Portions are healthy, plenty for sharing if you choose. The owner came out as we were getting ready to leave, nice he took the time to chat. Highly recommend this restaurant, we will be back. read more

Do you always look for a place with homemade pasta? It's a simple way for to take a menu to the next level. Buca's has it. We ordered take out and it was solid. The caprese pasta, broccoli rabe sausage pasta, and garlic bread and it was awesome. Fresh ingredients, terrific flavor, clearly great food. My only constructive criticism is that maybe the portions were a bit undersized. Despite that, we will be back for more. read more

I really love it there but I get quite annoyed when my food comes out luke warm/cold and that's what happened on Valentine's Day. And the prices went up $3-4 dollars an entree just for that date. read more

A cute little Italian spot in the cape, darker ambiance and more authentic vibes. The menu is huge, it can be hard to decide. We went with the boar pasta which was very good and some seafood pasta which unfortunately ended up being very salty. Staff wasn't super attentive when we were there but they were extremely busy so it's hard to judge the situation. A good spot to add to the list when in the cape. read more

This was our first time at Buca's Tuscan. It was really fun walking i to this establishment! The entry walls are lined with corks and wine crate panels!! Creative, fun and inviting!! The gentleman/manager that greeted us was gracious (we were 15 minutes early fir our reservation) and friendly and seated us In minutes! He did not have to do this -as we know from other restaurants but he was accommodating and seemed more than happy to get us settled in! The atmosphere is fun and interesting! We were seated by the bar in our own booth! The thing we ALL noticed was how dark the restaurant is in the room with the bar... not just atmospheric dark... but about 35% light of the average restaurant during daylight hours. We needed cell phone flashlights to read our menus. Granted- none of us are under 50 but this was a bit too much atmosphere. LOL The server was amazing! I forget her name (we ate out all week on the Cape and encountered at least 14 or 15 servers in that week so forgive me)... she was friendly, fast and on her game!! Always attentive and aware of the table! The food was brought out at a timely/steady pace! We ordered drinks(wine) first and were able to taste a couple too! They were delicious selections! The apps were ordered and arrived soon after: Arancini, a warm olive plate and oysters(for my brother in law only so I cant judge those as I would never even try). lol The other two were excellent! We ordered our entrees to give us more time between courses. Im not sure what my B.i.L. Ordered but the rest of us had Italian style chicken dishes. They arrived hot and tasty. The only thing the 3 of us (with the chicken entrees) questioned was the cutlet was still attached to bone? And very very thick cuts. We mused it may be a Tuscan tradition of leaving the thick (at least 3/4 to an inch) piece of poultry on the bone. It was good but definitely lessened the pleasure of the meal as we got closer to the bone. The pappradelle pasta was tasty but definitely on the over-cooked side. The marinara on 2 of our dishes was nice and light. The cheese was a bit too much but I should have asked to leave it off. The desserts were nice enough and we all ordered the salted caramel gelato but it tasted more like ice cream. It Didn't have the texture of gelato at all. We were happy with the restaurant and would definitely recommend and try again but next time we will definitely ask questions about some of the preparation. Personally - the main course of chicken parmigiana without the bone would have sat better. But, like I said- its a personal choice- I just do not enjoy any type poultry on the bone. As much as these are personal choices/tastes - the 4.0 rating is for the lighting and entree/dessert parts of the meal. I will peruse the seafood part of the menu more closely next time! ;) read more

Delicious food, warm and welcoming vibe. I live in NJ and typically don't try Italian when I'm out of state. That would have been a huge mistake. Can't wait to go back. Keep thinking about that eggplant parm. Yum! Matt and Fabian provided amazing service and were so friendly. They both made our visit even more incredible. read more

Let's start with the Host. Very friendly and without us asking he moved us to a more intimate table in the wine room after asking if we were celebrating anything and we told him our anniversary. On to our waiter, Jack who was also the bartender. He brought us Peach Bellinis when he greeted us and told us Happy Anniversary. A completely unnecessary and very nice gesture. We ordered the special Bruschetta - spicy sausage, burrata, caramelized onion and roasted peppers 5 stars for that! Mains were Veal Saltimbocca and Basil Pesto. Both very good. Dessert was profiteroles. We will be back read more

The best food in the area! Amazing seafood with Italian flavors! The best seafood stew we have ever had at any restaurant! Everything we ate was so good and portions were generous. The incredible Italian cake for dessert was the grand finale. We did not have reservations, showed up at 8:30pm and our greeter happily welcomed us and said we could sit at the bar. Our bartender and server Joe was very friendly and provided us with excellent service, The ambiance is cozy and friendly. We can't wait to come back to this restaurant again! Definitely our favorite restaurant in the Chatham area! read more

What a gem of a restaurant in the Cape! I saw this place in many recommendation articles suggesting where to eat so we thought we'd try it out. Turns out it was one of our favorite meals and experiences our whole trip! The restaurant is located inside a quaint, dimly lit old house. They do have a few tables outside but the vibes are so cozy inside I think that's the place to sit! Our server was top notch...very attentive and nice. Normally a red sauce girl, I went outside the box and ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca and it was the best decision I've made in a while! The chicken was mouth watering and so tender. The bread at the table was so soft in the middle, yet rustic and crunchy on the outside with some delightful olive oil for dipping. If you get the chance to visit Buca's while in the Cape and want to transport yourself to Italy for an hour or two, do it! You won't be sad you did. read more

The service was great! We appreciated the host and server which stood out that they take pride in this space. The food was okay, my husband liked his meal but overall was not what I was expected. The restaurant had a dim lit intimate feel and I appreciated the effort to provide a nice atmosphere. I don't think I will be back but if I do, I will be trying the dessert next time! I still have regret from seeing our neighbors order. read more

This was our first time coming here for dinner. We were celebrating our son's 25th birthday & they did a great job acknowledging it as well as bringing over a delicious piece of cake. The server was very attentive & the atmosphere was small but quaint. The food was tasty and decent size portions. We will definitely return here when we are back down the Cape again. read more

We ordered Buca's last night 12/29 online on their website and picked up using contactless pick up out front. They followed all social distancing, mask wearing etc and were very polite, and courteous. Everyone seemed pleased with their order. My sister had the Cacio e pepe and mom had the salmon with risotto. She liked the salmon a lot but didn't like the sweet glaze on top. Brother had pomodoro with meatball and dad had pomodoro with sausage. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious, nice panko crusting. It was breast meat but on the bone . I liked the pasta with its decomposed sauce, lots of fresh garlic and parsley. Would have liked a tid bit more tomato but that's because it was so flavorful. They also included two bags of fresh hearty bread which was delicious! Everything was packed well and nothing leaked or spilled. Cannoli was delicious. All in all was a nice, safe meal to eat at home! read more

The manager is completely obnoxious and irrational - we made a reservation and he put it for the wrong date. He pretended he hadn't spoken to me. He called me days later to scream at me for not showing up for a reservation I didn't make read more

This was a last minute decision to go there and we are so glad we did ! Everything from ambiance to service to food was amazing ! I am very picky when it comes to Cacio e pepe and this was amazing so was my friends pasta Pomodora both with homemade pasta . We shared the grilled ceasar salad which was recommended to do so by the waiter which they split on 2 plates for us without asking to do so ! Then Dessert which was Tiramisu and I have very high standards when it comes to this my favorite was a restaurant that is no longer opened and have never found one that even compares but I always try one when we go out to see and I can't tell you how amazing this was ! It was the second best I've ever had and it was equal to my favorite , I highly recommend this restaurant and wish I lived here to visit again ! When I come back to the area it will be first in my list! read more

COVID 19 update from October 2020. Food is great as ever but this place is doing an amazing job so its diners have options. We chose to sit outside on a cooler night. They had 3 tables outside all with heat lamps and pretty flowers. Theresa, our lovely server, earns A plus. Lobster arancini was again perfection. Their grilled romaine awesome. We had the pasta with a rich Gorgonzola cream sauce and peas. Decadent. Their bread...oh my. Great cocktails and wine choices. We were near their parking and doors. Many cars picking up dinner. Some diners eating inside and the Co-owner led only one couple a time inside with others waiting a few minutes outside. They had a safety system and masks enforced when walking anywhere. The food and the service and the protocols, well done Buca's Tuscan Roadhouse! Classy! So glad you had an outdoor table with a heat lamp for us. We wore our winter coats and yet we were very comfortable. read more

This is one of the best Italian restaurants on the Cape. They have a great selection of specials, regular menu items and wine. I have been a number of times and the meals are always good but I was disappointed that they completely changed the chicken saltimbocca. It was always made traditionally with thin sliced cutlets and layered Prosciutto and cheese but they changed it to a thick breast with bone, thick pieces of prosciutto, sprinkle of cheese and the base sauce was completely different. They should tell you in advance. The favor combination was not good. read more

Cute Italian restaurant. Owner present and friendly, it's apparent there are regulars that come in as it seems many know him by name. I believe the bartenders name was Joe, he was manning the bar and he was in charge of our table that was off to the side. He was really personable, very knowledgeable about the menu, we ended up getting specials. The food was good and very fresh. Would definitely go back. read more

We had a great dinner and loads of fun at Buca's. The food was outstanding, bountiful, delicious and beautifully presented. The special beet salad was vibrant and fresh with strong contrasting flavors. The artichokes were perfect. The veal saltimboca was very tender and perfectly balance. We also got the sole which was flavorful and gentle at the same time. Our server, Nina, was superb. She was warm, attentive, efficient and made us feel that she simply wanted us to be happy. We shared a piece of the chocolate wedding cake for dessert and swooned over over the decadence, a perfect ending to a perfect night. We had a great night with wonderful food and service. read more
