    Pick 3 Appetizers
    Teresa S.

    Buco has been a stop several time for us both as a couple, a family and with friends. It definitely is boisterous and not a quiet dine in restaurant. We saw so many groups and friends having a lovely night which is so great. For dinner we shared the pick 3 appetizer and chose the tomato bruschetta, mushroom bruschetta and arracinhi. The risotto balls were good but not my personal fave. The tomato bruschetta was good but the mushroom one I could eat for days on end. I had the 4 cheese pizza which has been a fave. It has a delicious lemon flavour and is so simple. I did find the crust to be much thicker than I recall and wished for more pizza items instead. My husband had the meat pizza and he liked it. We came on a night where it was bring your own wine special without paying corkage fee. I'm a bit of a red wine snob and ordered a Toscana red. Nothing annoys me more than when you take a sip and can tell it's been opened and is not fresh. There was a large table next to us and honestly it was so busy. I just drank it. Our server was good but I could tell the large parties were overwhelming. I would still go again as it's a nice spot and I'd love to try the patio next summer.

    I heard about Buco from a coworker and although I was not feeling pizza tonight we checked out the menu online and saw many other things so we went. I think Buco will be one of "my places" now. We really liked it. Our server was lovely, attentive and efficient. We tried several things: a cheese and meat platter that was loaded with cheeses. We had to order extra bread to manage all the cheese; the cauliflower fritters that even our finicky anti-cauliflower friend had to admit were darn good; we had mussels and oysters and special ordered them done in white wine and butter instead of tomato (no issue with the special order), and finally the mushroom ravioli topped with arugula. Everything was delicious, mouth watering and left us wanting more. On Thursday there Is $6 glasses of feature wine. There's lots of parking. It's warm inside and although the chairs look small and sturdy, they are far more comfortable than they look.

    There is nothing better than authentic pizzas with real Italian ingredients. Buco is the place to go. Located in St Albert , this restaurant offers a wide variety of Italian cuisine. An open kitchen gives diners a view of the chefs hard at work. 800 degree wood burning pizza oven is the main feature. Nothing compares to a pizza that's baked in a traditional fashion. By far this is the best pizza I have ever had. The staff is friendly and make you feel like home. Our server last night was great. While my sister's had wine , I ordered an ice tea . When she brought it, she had it in a wine glass so i didnt feel " left out ". We ordered . Clams and mussels were simply delicious... The two pizzas ( margharita and a pepperoni ) were perfect . I wish other pizza places would do their pizzas this way .. but then again Buco's would be nothing spectacular . Definitely worth going back.

    This anchovy pizza from Buco Pizzeria is just what you need in your life There's not too many places that have anchovies on their pizza, and that's a travesty.

    Pancetta Bruschetta and Spiedino (Beef Skewers)

    Don't get it. Given all these good reviews thought I'd give it a try. Had a disappointing experience. Went with a friend. Got a few bruschetta, a pizza and a pasta. Everything felt way more expensive than it should. Must be good. Got Pancetta Bruschetta, as recommended. Says great for sharing, but the irony is that they are individual orders. Doesn't make sense. In any case they were expensive for what they were. Bread lightly toasted, didn't really matter. Felt soggy biting into it. Not to mention overloaded to beyond bite size. Lost half the tomatoes on delivery. We also had spiedino (2x skewers with 2 chunks of meat) - bland and tiny. Don't bother. Pizza time. Expect to compare it to Famoso. Verdict: Don't get why I'm paying so much for something that is soggy and underwhelming. Famoso wins on flavour, quality and price. Maybe if you got to happy hour ($10 a pizza vs $18) - it might be worth while. Pasta. Friend had the pasta but had a taste of it. The lasagna was freshly made but again underwhelming. Service was very nice and attentive. Maybe because we skipped the unreasonably expensive wine and drinks, everything simply didn't taste as good? Not recommended.

    The culinary needs of St. Albertans are finally being met, thanks to Carmello Rago and the other restauranteurs setting up shop in the Shops at Boudreau. Buco, the newest edition to the Sorrentino's group of restaurants is exactly what St. Albert has been waiting for. No longer do we have to leave our safe haven and venture into the big city just to find a pairing of good food and equally good ambiance. I have been to Buco three times already and have really enjoyed each experience. Tonight we dined at the pizza bar where we had the pleasure of viewing the kitchen at work. The staff described each dish that came out with excitement. The ingredients are all really fresh. Sitting at the bar, you get to see the meats being sliced to order for the pizzas and charcuterie boards. The one thing that impressed me most was probably something that not everyone would even notice. The bowls of Parmesan for the pizza were high quality freshly grated cheese. Huge impact! Of course it will take a while to work out the kinks in service as it will with all new establishments. However, our server asked us for constructive criticism at the end of our meal and genuinely took it to heart. All you can ask for, in my opinion.

    The delicious parma prosciutto bianca pizza.

    I had heard good things about this place so my friend and I decided to swing by and grab a bite to eat. I immediately liked the look and feel of the place. It is very contemporary, warm and has an open kitchen so you can see the chefs in action. It is a great place to have a glass of wine with friends but it is also very family/kid friendly. We ordered the prosciutto wrapped figs and the polenta fritta for appetizers. The prosciutto wrapped figs were absolutely delicious. The polenta was ok but I have had better. I like spice but everything was spicy and that kind of overtook the dish. For our main meal we had the parma prosciutto bianca pizza and it was excellent. There were generous amounts of prosciutto, flakes of parmesan cheese, tomatoes and arugula on the pizza. Unfortunately our server seemed a little out of sorts and didn't take our order for some time. We were rarely checked on which didn't contribute to the experience. With that being said, she could just be having an off night and it wouldn't prevent me from going back.

    We sat at the bar and couldn't stop ogling the gorgeous meat slicer they have! So cool and they shipped it all the way from Italy! The pizza is delicious! Such a crispy crust and fresh toppings! If you go after 9 they have an incredible deal! 3$ bruschettas! We of course had to try one of each! The sopprasata with onion jam was our favourite. Tasty!! Only thing is the service was a bit slow and it took quite a while to get our drinks.

    Delicious pizza! It's on the pricier side but on Mondays you can bring your own wine and they'll open it with no corkage fee.

Not easy to share with the table which made it very awkward and not everyone got to try some. You can cut them into about 3 pieces which still left 1 of us not being able to try it. I got the Spaghetti Carbonara: 9/10. Very good, pasta was cooked well, there was enough sauce. Good flavor. Boyfriend got the special which was cheese stuffed ravioli in rose sauce - 10/10. Loved that it comes with extra protein (chicken). Friend got Veal Scaloppine: very garlic-y. Friends said she would not get again. But very generous portion of vegetables - broccolini, peppers, carrots. And the half of a baked potato came with cheese baked on top which looked amazing. Friend got the lasagna and loved it, reports it is not spicy and has a lot of meat (ground) in it. They brought over a free chocolate mousse dessert with a sparkler as well.

I called and was quoted 22min which I thought was quite long but it took me that long to get there anyway. There was lots of 2 hour street parking available. Very nice decor inside - fancy, classy, romantic would be how I would describe the decor. The restaurant was completely empty at 5PM although they did just open at 4:30PM. My order was ready when I arrived (20min later). I got the Arancini appetizer, Gnocchi entree, and Tartufo (choc + raspberry ice cream) dessert all for ~$40. The food survived the 11 minute drive home (even the ice cream). The Arancini was delicious - like a deep-fried risotto ball should be. I liked that it came with a touch of tomato sauce which gave it a nice acidic kick. The gnocchi were larger than I expected and therefore hard to eat in 1 bite so I had to try to cut each one before eating. Not the best I have ever had. I got it with the rose sauce which was nice but nothing special. Creamy but not a lot of flavour. The tartufo was promising - like a black forest cake but ice cream style. Too bad it had such a miniscule amount of raspberry. 95% chocolate ice cream; which was good chocolate ice cream for sure but not enough acidic to balance out all the sweet for me. Place and menu look great and promising but unfortunately, I was underwhelmed for the price and can't see myself back anytime soon.

First off, it's been renovated since I was here last and it looks good. Staff is friendly and they have a decent sized breakfast menu. Dad had pancakes and liked them but said they were a bit overdone (but to be honest he says that everywhere he orders pancakes so who knows... only the pancakes mom makes at home are up to standard for him). Regardless he ate them all so they couldn't have been that bad. I had the steak omelette which was a cheesy, delicious meal. When we go back I will definitely order this again. The steak strips, onions and peppers blended with the abundant gooey cheese deliciously. The side potatoes were average fare, as was the rye toast, but that omelette was fantastic. Coffee was good and refills were abundant. All in all a pretty standard breakfast spot with some bright spots (service and that omelette). Good pricing and close to home.
