IL BUCO REVIEWS

Fabulous restaurant. The food was inviting, fresh and deliciously flavourful. Alot of details, like lemon infused goat cheese and plentiful fresh side veggies really put our meals over the top. Our server was delightful. Friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. She recommended a wine based on our preferences that was perfect. We will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Plenty of meatless options available.

Absolutely LOVED our first experience here! The food was DELICIOUS. The service we experienced was exceptional. We were lucky to be served by Jamal who was an absolute delight and made our experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you for such a joyful experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Il Buco.

The atmosphere is chill and the food is amazing but even better is the desserts you have to try the tartufo. Parking: There is a good amount of parking at the back of the building and some down the street.

Truly a delightful dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed by the inviting aroma of freshly prepared food. The menu boasts a variety of delicious dishes, including the delectable lobster ravioli, the flavorful frittura mista, and the fresh oysters that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Each bite was mouthwatering and left a lasting impression. We will definitely be returning.

A party of 8 of us came in last night to celebrate a colleagues promotion. We had the most wonderful time! Our server Brody was amazing, friendly and funny. We were a loud bunch and he accommodated everything we asked for! Thank you for such a memorable night and delicious dinner. Will be back to celebrate more milestones.

We had a GREAT 35th anniversary dinner this week. We 110% will be back!! Great food, excellent portions.

EAST SIDE MARIO'S BARRIE NORTH REVIEWS

I had an unfortunate dinner experience with my family of four. There were barely any servers and we had the bartender as our server (who was nice but noticeably overworked) who was stuck at the bar the majority of the time we were there and if we asked any other servers for bread, soup, or salad they refused since we weren't our server.

My friend and I had an amazing experience at East Sides on Bayfield Street. Food was amazing, drinks were tasty and our server Kennedy was so efficient and kind. Thank you so much !!

Went in with my daughters, was sat in Ranya’s section and had great service. She was so kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!
