Buco downtown is cozy, upscale, and friendly. Free underground parking (register your plate at the restaurant) which makes dining out in winter easy. If you sit in the west side there are big windows that offer a street view. High ceilings with interesting fixtures, and comfortable booth seating. Have tried several items in the few times that I've been there, I tend to order the gnocchi. On a most recent visit, had the porchetta, served beautifully on a board. Tuesdays there are wine flights for $20. My recollection is that there was something special most days of the week. read more

It was my first time at this location. We had a business training at the building and it seemed like the best option for our lunch. The place was very nice and bigger than the other location. The staff were pretty efficient, friendly and helpful. I ordered a pizza and it was delicious. I love their quality, service and the atmosphere. I highly recommend this business especially if you're looking for delicious pizza! :) read more

BUCO gets 5 stars for me for being the BEST place to grab a bite before an Oilers game or event at Rogers Place because 1) You will save moola over ordering at Rogers and 2) If you spend $25 or more they will validate your parking in Epcor Tower! Say what? That's right! I pity the fool that pays $25 to park behind Rogers when you can go to BUCO and have a drink and appy and park UNDERGROUND for the same price! Bonus points if you go early and enjoy happy hour! Though be aware that happy hour ends earlier on event nights. I highly recommend the arancini balls here! YUM yum YUM! I have had some hits and misses on service here but all and all I'll still bump this bad boy up to 5 stars for the underground parking alone! read more

Friends and I tried out this location as the St Albert one was fully booked. I imagine the downtown location is packed on nights when there are events at Roger's. It is a really large restaurant compared to St Albert, and is very modern, trendy and warm. I loved the big booths in the bar area. Our service was friendly and attentive. Our food was also out very quickly. We all ordered a variety of dishes which included pizzas, salad, the short rib entree and desserts. Absolutely every dish was well presented, tasted delicious and was executed wonderfully. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Especially on an event evening! Parking is free as well in the Epcor Tower when you dine at Buco. read more

I went with my hubby for a special night out. We parked outside and payed for parking as we didn't know thag you can park underground and provide your license for free parking (take note). The restaurant itself was beautiful and very nicely decorated. Unfortunately we were sitted on the other side of the restaurant where there was no one else but us and that part did not look as nice as the main site. The food was great! We had a bottle of wine which went very well with our main dishes. The server was not too experienced which was a bit disappointing as the we paid pretty high amount to get the overall experience. I do recommend the place and will go back, knowing what I know now, I'm sure I'll have a better experience next go. read more

I was at EPCOR Tower for training and decided to order takeout downstairs at the Buco Pizzeria. I ordered a small pizza, which came with a salad. I requested it be ready for 12:15pm and they were on point. Bagged, with enough cutlery inside. No complaints. The pizza was a decent size and the dough was so fluffy and fresh. Flavour was really good as well with garlic aoli. The salad was average for a Cesar salad. The ambience inside seemed pretty tasteful and classy for the short period I glanced inside. Hint: order online for takeout, and use promo "pizza" and get 20% off!!! Only works when you sign up with a new email. You're welcome!! read more

My friends and I made reservations to go here this past Friday night. They sat us in the lounge. There was an Oil Kings game that night, so it wasn't too busy. The decor and ambience was cool. We knew to expect good food and service since it was part of the Sorrentino's chain. The food was good. Plating was beautiful. But all of that didn't make it worth coming there for dinner based on the service we had. Our server Isabelle was abruptly rude to our table of 7. Anytime we asked for more water, extra sauce or napkins, there was a very obvious push back. She would say, "sure". But her body language and facial expression showed us she didn't want to do it. The entire night's service was absolutely appalling. I asked another server to get our own server's name, and she was also rude and chose to point to our server instead. When she cleared our food from the appetizers, she took a bundle of knives and forks and just plopped it on the table! Who does this? Great service is when they individually reset our table setting for each of us to get another knife and fork. She didn't bother pouring the water for each person either. My recommendation- never go to this location with the service they provide. Last time I had this bad of a service was at Hundred downtown and they're shut down now. The food was good here, don't get me wrong. You can tell Sorrentino's keeps up a level of standard when it comes to quality of food with their sister restaurants. But, if you don't get the same level of hospitality in their servers, the food isn't worth exploring. read more

Great service and great soups and love the 4cheese pizza with honey. Also like the parking refund on a $20 purchase. 100% recommend. read more

We came here before the Symphony and made reservations. It was a Saturday night so we thought we would need resos but honestly it wasn't that busy so yeah we were the only people there. We started out with the three different bruschette! My favourite was the whipped ricotta but the other two don't really taste any different tbh. We also tried the goat cheese cauliflower bites which were really yummy - those came in a big portion and I liked that! Then we had the Vegetariana Pizza and it was good! By the time we finished our food we were stuffed. The service was good but I mean how could it not be? We were the only ones there. We had the feudi di san gregorio bottle of wine it was delicious. I would be down to return here! It was decent! The menu looks like it has some other things to try! read more

Went for the first time to the Windermere location. Did the 3 tasters for $12. The bruschetta was just ok, lacked flavor except for the one piece of bacon on it. The beef croquettes thingies and the two balls of decadence was soooooo good! Especially with the touch of garlic aioli. I am horrible for remembering names of food and too lazy to look it up for you but it's the first thing on the top right of the menu! Lol Yummy goodness!! I would next time just order a plate of those decadent balls. Hmmmm balls. Ordered the funghi pizza to share. It was delicious but a little too much crust. I would suggest a balsamic drizzle over it for that touch of added flavor. read more

We can honestly say eating here before the Bryan Adams concert at Rogers Place added to our nights great experience. Shannon was our server and she was a delight providing great service and chatter. The food we ordered was terrific. The Caesar salad had a deep flavour with peppery overtones, the bruschetta flatbread had a light crust, and the gnocchi stole the show with a umami sauce with mushroom depth. I dipped my flatbread in that sauce! A definite go to pre game/concert in the future. Reso recommended. read more

Buco is an amazing restaurant with good quality food, and portions. Dishes were presented very well. Our server, Katelyn, was unbelievably kind and very accommodating to what we wanted. Very comfortable atmosphere. Great to take friends and/or family here. We had a birthday celebration so they made a dessert with a sparkler, and it was so lovely and thoughtful. 11/10 read more

What a nice upscale pizzeria. It was very quiet as we went at opening. Had the cannaloni and ging hi pizza and both were super tasty. Lots of tvs to watch hockey games. Definitely will go back. read more

Again, great food. I was here in one of only two places for Edmonton Downtown Dining Week, because due to the virus many places were either closed, or discouraged to order to stay in. I liked that there was a selection of choices for Edmonton Downtown Dining week, rather than one take it or leave it item. I chose the Cheesy Garlic Shrimp - organic greens, balsamic drizzle and the Pan-Seared Salmon - roasted potato, grilled vegetables, white wine lemon butter sauce. My friend chose a pizza (not on the dining week menu) and their tiramisu. Okay, these shrimp were probably one of the best ones I have had in a long time. Perfectly cooked in reach cheese sauce so delicious. And my salmon was perfectly cooked as well and the grilled vegetables and potatoes were a great base for the wine lemon butter sauce. I am impressed by their skill in cooking seafood. My friend liked her pizza and she loved the tiramisu. I snuck a few bites and indeed it was delicious. Way to go. read more

Can you buy a second time pre-concert and this place did not disappoint! It's also amazing to see the owner of Sorrentino's group, Carmello Rago, still keeping an eye on things at the new place making sure everything's going great. We are a couple appetizers and had some wine, and the service was awesome. We ordered the meatballs which were just amazing! I tried these at a cocktail party earlier in the month and they were again impressive. The wine list here is also really interesting. We went with the Zenato, Valpolicella Ripasso, which was superb. Great spot for a pre concert bite in the lounge. read more

Would rate a 4 if their pricing was a bit better. Their pizza is good if a bit soggy in the middle like alot of thin crust wood fire ovens which I didnt mind too much it was properly cooked for the most part and fresh ingredients. There are 2 other comparable pizza places I found so far in Edmonton. I also ordered their small bites the brushetta not worth it for 2 peices it was soggy, the proscuitto wrapped figs and pinwheel was delicious though. The risotto balls were big but bland not enough cheese. I rewarmed them with some pasta sauce to eat them with a bit of melted mozza, that was good. read more

Buco pizzeria + vino bar had just opened so the team decided to eat here for lunch. Their service was prompt and their food was pretty good. It exceeded our expectation esp with the restaurant being in the epcor building that could be seen as corporate. The environment was really nice and modern. The team will be coming down to eat here more often! read more

Free parking good service food was very good. Loved their Cesar and Sangeria. Will return!

The hostess recognized me despite not having been in a few months. It was lovely to be welcomed back with such a personal touch. Will definitely be back to see Valerie. We had a bottle of Barolo and a platter of Italian sausage, chicken and porchetta to share. The porchetta was so well done, not dry at all! The parmagiano aioli is to die for. Can't wait to come back for dinner again! read more

Ok food, but terrible service. The waitress just seemed lost. Forgot to bring water, then never checked on us after our food was delivered. She kept serving the tables around us and wouldn't come over even when we waved. Our food got cold waiting for her to come back. Never got drink refills and just ignored us the whole time. Not worth it. read more

Head's Up! Website implies social hour is from 2-5 during major events. During a recent Saturday hockey game, our group arrived about 2ish. We were informed the restaurant usually opens at 5, so social hour in this case doesd not apply. Several of our guests work in marketing and agreed the website is misleading too! read more

I began planning for a dinner out with a old school friend a couple months ago, and finally agreed on a date and time that fell on a thursday with an asssortment of 'ladies night' drink specials. I arrived early and was able to have a draft beer at 6 bucks a pint before 6 pm, my friend arrived and had parked in the parkade (recemended given the area) and was reimbursed if you bring the ticket up with you and spend 20/person-which we did. She has a peach Bellini as part of the evening drink special, along with our first order of mussels in a tomato sauce with sausage, and opted out of the white wine sauce. Mussels arrived and were plump and in a great tomato sauce, next we ordered full caesar salad, which had fresh greens and thinly shaved parmesan cheese -both exceeded our taste expectations. We chose to share a mushroom ravioli as our main, and our server Kristen was always attentive and offered grated cheese or fresh ground pepper with every turn of her mill. There was also a Thursday red wine special at 5 bucks/glass which was a great deal. After great food and company settled on 1 Bomolini order which is a pastry filled donut as our final desert with coffee. Thank you Kristen! for your attentive service, the food was excellent at every turn and the red or white wine drink special Thursday at 5 bucks a glass was a deal. We had the place to ourselves or so it seemed :)total bill began at 84.00 they took off 10 for parking, and with a gift card I planned to use only paid another 23 but added on to the full total an 18% tip, because it was all so very incredible, including my special dinner guest. Happy hour before 6 pm, drink specials after 6 there is always a reason to visit! read more

We haven't been able to get enough! Buco has become a favorite for date nights. The large variety of antipasti and assaggini are all so delicious. Loved the charcuterie board also. The location comes with some downfalls - we were approached in the restaurant and yelled at during our dinner by somebody who came in from outside. The food will still keep us coming back! read more

Delicious classic Italian restaurant. The owners are very friendly and really good people. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and with the two different sides (the lounge and the dining room) you can choose the type of atmosphere that you prefer. With underground parking available, it's easily accessible for being downtown and is in a great location for before or after events at Rogers place and quick hearty weekday lunches during a busy work week. read more

First time in this restaurant. Great service. Food was great. Mark, the manager was great. He accommodated our large group and assisted us with all our requests. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The prices are in line with other restaurants downtown. They even offer a parking discount if you give them the coupon off of the parking tag. read more

Terrible service, long wait, loud environment. Did not enjoy the over priced experience.

I didn't like the soggy, limp, under-cooked pizza dough... the first 3 times I tried to find excuses for them, given that they just opened recently. I was looking forward to their opening, as I work in the building, and the place looks rather nice. But today I was quite disappointed, because this time I specified when I ordered that I would like my pizza to be crispy... and it still wasn't... :( read more

Manager was unable to resolve the terrible situation. read more
