late to the party ! – I am delinquent in not having posted comments glorifying La Buca before now. If you have not been there, I will try to express just what you have been missing. The usual lineup of Italian style dining options leaves a choice of spending $25 or less at a chain type (or American/Italian like Denicolas) restaurant, or considerably more at a fancy independent eatery. Rather than recommend dishes that I like at La Buca, I suggest that you check out the menu (and prices) on line and view the well described of... read more

Just Perfect – A pleasant space with friendly, attentive service, and some of the best food in Portland at great prices. Imaginative specials bring together flavors that work and surprise you in a good way. No weird fad food and plenty for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. While all the pasta dishes are excellent, what I'd most recommend are the sublime soups and the crisp and nicely dressed salads,because it's getting harder and harder to find food like this in Portland where everything must now be filled with pork fat and... read more

La Buca is a long-time winner – I've been coming to La Buca for many, many years. It is consistent, reliable, reasonably priced, with a charming ambiance. The food is delicious: the menu has stayed the same (other than specials) for a long time and they have perfected what they offer. The food is equally good on the premises or to go. This is a can't miss proposition!

For a wonderful dining experience at very reasonable prices – Once again, I base my opinions on my almost forty years as a Pennsylvania State Certified Exec Chef / Culinary Arts Teacher. La Buca has taken advantage of utilizing all the components necessary to make a restaurant a success. Extremely reasonable prices, wonderfully prepared, eye appealing food, served at the correct temperatures by a polished staff who seem dedicated to accommodating the patrons. One of the ladies in our party requested some alterations to the d... read more

Verbal Hostility from Service – Ate good meals at La Buca, but as we left the restaurant, the waitress ran up within arm's reach, and began yelling that she had not been tipped. Rather than inquiring that it might have been an oversight (it was) she began an aggressive yelling spree to be heard throughout the restaurant. Two separate issues are here: certainly tipping is a good thing, but hostile yelling into the face of customers is not a reasonable response, nor is it civil. I have never experienced this low a level of ser... read more

Simply La Best! – This is my favorite eaterie in Portland - the food is always really good, the service warm and friendly, and I appreciate the fact that you can get a decent bottle of wine without seeing your total double. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. The fish is always staggeringly good value, too. Thank you!
