Buca's Tuscan Roadhouse

Very nice dining experience. Marty was a gem at the reception desk at getting us a table when we had failed to make a reservation.
We loved the rocket salad.

Last night we went to Buca’s and had a fabulous experience. I would consider this to be one of the best restaurants we have on Cape.

Our server, Omari, was excellent—so attentive and pleasant.

The menu was intensive and included multiple delicious sounded specials for the evening. We had fun over ordering starting with incredible Aransini balls with lobster in a vodka sauce, Burratta, garlic bread and mussels in a spicy tomato sauce. We also shared a romaine salad that had a very special dressing and was grilled. All apps were perfectly prepared and delicious.

Following the apps, we had the shrimp scampi, Gorgonzola in a cream sauce with pappardelle and chicken parm. Everything was wonderful, especially the chicken parm. The wine list was very extensive as well.

Lastly we barely had room but managed to finish with the house special dessert (chocolate raspberry torte) and the dessert sampler. We also had the chocolate martini and Italian wedding cake martini. Surprise surprise, all was delicious too. Truly. Also, everything was perfectly paced, we never felt rushed.

If you’re looking for a wonderful fine dining experience from start to finish, this is the place.

Absolutely incredible restaurant! I travel around the country for work, so I tend to eat out a lot, and I try to find at least one upscale restaurant on each trip I take. This place is easily one of the top five restaurants I’ve been to.
I came on a Saturday night. The place was packed, but I managed to get a seat at the bar. I had one of the veal dishes and a glass of wine, both of which were excellent. Service was fantastic, the wine list was extensive, and the atmosphere was very cool.
I would highly recommend, and if my company ever overnights me in the area again, I’ll definitely be back.

If I could give 6 stars out of 5, I would. It's been a while since I've been back to Buca, but wow what an amazing meal I had here with my family. I was so hungry that we ordered a ton of food so I'm glad I got to try so much. My favorites of the evening were our 3 main courses: the bolognese, the merluzzo, and the saltimbocca. Everything tasted really different from each other and were all so delicious. I would order any of them again in a heartbeat.

The bolognese sauce was rich with flavor but even as I was getting full, I felt like I could have kept eating more and more. The merluzzo (cod with papardelle) was extremely light, and combined with the pasta and the tomatoes made for an excellent bite. The saltimbocca was the perfect amount of salty with the veal and the sauce it came with (of course, also with pasta).

We ordered the arancini and cheesy bread to start, as well as the insalata di rockett salad. I loved the arancini (it had lobster in it!)—very crispy and I could not get enough of that vodka tomato cream sauce with it. The cheesy bread was also everything I could have asked for and more. The salad however, was the true star. The lemon basil dressing it comes with is addictive. We asked for the recipe, but unfortunately the chef wouldn't give it out—they only gave the ingredients. Nonetheless, I would definitely order it again.

So in short, an amazing meal. No wonder it is so difficult to get into this restaurant. I hope to come back again this summer!

Some of the best food on Cape. Never disappoints! I come for the excellent service and stay for the food. Joe, Matt, and Martin are the BEST.

Favorites: the rocket salad, veal piccata, tuscan herb crusted grilled pork chop, boar bolognese.

Totally blown away on how good the Grilled Veal Chop with fig glaze was. My wife had ordered this and although my scallops with homemade pasta was awesome (second photo), I’d get the veal next time. Perfectly cooked and the pappardelle pasta was just perfect. We’ve tried a lot of restaurants in the Cape Cod area and for some reason never bothered coming here. That’s a mistake! Next time your in the Harwich/Chatham area do yourself a favor and visit Bucca Tuscan Roadhouse - you won’t be disappointed! Forgot to mention that the staff there is TOP NOTCH & very friendly.

My husband and I were there for the first time on a Tuesday night for my birthday, the ambiance was excellent! The server was wonderful and very patient with me considering I'm a very picky eater. She definitely made my night feel special and I got everything I wanted and the way I wanted it. Thank you for your service and I promise not to be as difficult the next time we return. Thank's again for a lovely evening 😊

We're up from Florida to celebrate our 20th Anniversary on the Cape. My wife found Buca's so we drove out and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The environs were a glimpse of Tuscany and the food - Delizioso! Omari took such great care of us, we wanted for nothing.
We thoroughly recommend. Grazie!!

Make a reservation for this gem of an Italian restaurant. Food is plentiful and absolutely delicious!
Our waiter Matt was so welcoming and gracious you want to have him wait on you forever every night you dine there.
But watching all the staff they all help each other. Great atmosphere.
It was a Utopian Experience of which my wife & I want more.
Thank you Buca's

The service was impeccable, the staff were top notch and the food can not be spoken highly enough. It has been awhile since I have had really good Italian food that was fresh, seafood and pork were perfectly cooked. The dessert menu is all amazing. Be sure to order coffee as well. I can not recommend this place enough. We had a party of eight, including kids. Everyone had eaten all of the food they could eat.

Let me start off by saying that I did not make a reservation to this restaurant because I’m not from the area and did not know how popular it was, however, the staff manager was more than welcoming and made sure to find a spot for my girlfriend and I on her birthday. Although it was a very busy night the ambience is romantic, intimate and quiet for the most part, the staff was very attentive and service was relatively fast and friendly. The food here was very flavorful, from the bruschetta appetizer we had, to the chicken parmigiana and the bone-in rib eye, and the special pound cake dessert at the end. In other words I had an amazing experience here with my girlfriend on her birthday and would like to commend the staff for making it possible. I would definitely recommend anyone to have a nice dinner here with their loved one.

One of the best meals I've had on the Cape and one of the best Italian meals overall. Service was excellent, we had seats at the bar and Matthew was very attentive and knowledgeable.

Good beer selection, obviously wine, but good mixed drinks as well. Recommend the Gin and Tonic with local Hollow Spirits Rose Gin.

Must try the Garlic Bread, perfectly crisp and cheesy. Cacio e Pepe was a hit!

We absolutely loved our experience at Buca. Our waitress and the staff were incredibly friendly. They have a great selection of pastas, something for everyone. We had the veal chop served over pappardelle, and the shrimp and sausage with pappardelle in a spicy marinara. Both dishes were amazing. Really nice, chic atmosphere inside. And for dessert we finished up with some raspberry sorbet and cappuccino gelato.

Excellent selection of cocktails and beers.

Where to begin. We made a reservation ahead of time and were greeted with a fireside table and water already poured. Our waitress was welcoming and attentive from start to finish. For food we started with a special, smoked salmon bruschetta, while we sipped on perfectly crafted cocktails. The bruschetta was amazing, followed by our entrees which again exceeded expectations. The shrimp scampi, and pork chop were both delightful in their own right. After all was said and done we had to take a peek at the dessert menu. We chose the pana cotta, raspberry sorbet, and an espresso martini for good measure. You guessed it, all wonderful! We left feeling satisfied having found a place we will surely visit the next time we’re on the cape.

Outstanding food, service and ambiance. Worth a trip to the Cape, it's that good.

Deeply crusted bread comes to the table, to dip in a fruity, spicy olive oil. Our starters were a grilled romaine salad, and best ever fried calamari. The server brought extra plates as sharing is expected - who could keep those appetizers to themselves?

First entree - Roasted cod is dressed with crushed pistachios and served over pappardelle. Actually the dish is way more detailed, as this is a chef driven restaurant. There's little fresh peas, parmasan and blistered little tomatoes. Very pretty and yummy.

The second entree was the scallop special, over pappardelle in a cream sauce. This was the most generous serving of scallops we've ever had anywhere. It made me wonder - we shared with the owner that we came on the recommendation of a very knowledgeable, sophisticated friend who knows good living and has a house in town. Did I name drop and get special treatment? No, I peeked at other tables and their plates were as exuberant.

Some details - menu pricing is moderate and more than fair, there's plenty of choice for vegetarians, gluten-free diners, and children.
There's parking, including handicapped spaces, and the restaurant itself is accessible. Reservations are by phone and judging how busy it was, highly recommended.

What a great time!

My fiancé and I were there last night for dinner and we wanted to stay the whole night. The food and atmosphere were incredible. Felt like we were in Italy for the 2 1/2 hours we were there for. We come to the cape a couple times a year and will definitely be going here every time we come.

Marty and Joe are just top notch! The atmosphere was phenomenal, the drinks were great, the food was exceptional. They treated us like family. Thats all we could hope for in our community. Much obliged. Keep up the great work!!!!

We are suitably impressed -- their longevity is no fluke. Friendly and efficient folks, romantically charming interior, really good food. Busy, but not crazy -- parking could be challenging when the joint is really jumping, though, is all. My wife had the maiale (pork chop) marsala on papardelle and broccolini, I the melanzana parmigiana (eggplant parm) w/ goat cheese and spinach. Both way yum. Both yielded ample leftovers. Excellent cocktails and wines by the glass, even the table bread was damn fine. Definitely recommended.

My boyfriend and I were guests of good friends of ours. My first time eating in but they'd been there many times, and for good reason. I had the veal parmigiana and it was the best I'd ever had, anywhere. He had the eggplant, also to die for.

Parking can be challenging and you'll often need a reservation, but do all you can to eat here. The wait staff are so attentive, too, knowledgeable and unforgettable. You won't regret it!

Food consistently good, great variety, interesting wines and drinks and very friendly and attentive waitstaff.

Crowds a little loud & rowdy this past weekend. Not the norm in our experience but the place is on the small side so the sounds carry
