Il Buco

Went to Il Buco for our staff Christmas party and it was a dining experience you must experience. The ambiance in the restaurant was very romantic as we all sat in a candle lit dining area. The staff were very accommodating and pleasant, as well they were very knowledgeable and humorous. The cleanliness was impeccable. The food was to die for. So fresh and full of flavor. A must try dining experience in barrie!

Enjoyed a terrific three course lunch today December 11, 2019 at Ill Buco. It was a nice atmosphere that allowed for quiet conversation. The Cream off Broccoli soup was out of this world followed by a delicious lasagna which was a perfect portion size. As good as the good was the service was 1st class. Glasses were never empty and we did not have to ask for anything. Finally it was a pleasant surprise getting the check; very good value for the food we were served. Highly recommend this restaurant.

one of the best italian restaurants in Barrie - nice service - sometime a little bit long to wait for the dishes. Hint: Avoid public holiday to done there. Long waiting time and the portions are smaller as usual.

Place is fine. The food is tasty but not outstanding. The decor is authentic but not breathtaking. The service was quick (as expected around lunch time on a weekday) and polite. Advertised as a place with a view to the harbor but in reality you are probably 700 feet away and don't really see much of the harbor. Prices are very affordable and worth the visit. Deserts are pretty good.

Lovely atmosphere, great view, wonderful service. But our food definitely needed some tweaking. The Caesar salad was dressed in a gloppy, flavourless mayonnaise based concoction that didn’t taste homemade. Too bad, because the romaine was fresh and nicely plated with fresh shreds of Parmesan. I had the grilled calamari and shrimp, delicious but accompanied by two cold, previously grilled pieces of baguette. My husband had the lasagna. Very disappointing. Not much flavour, lukewarm and dry. It appeared to have been reheated. Would not recommend this. Would love to give this restaurant another try, it was so nice sitting there. But the food needs more care.
