The character of the restaurant is what I enjoyed best. The lobby was brimming full of people trying to get a table. Coming to this restaurant with good friends was the main draw for me. The wait staff was pleasant and very helpful for first timers understanding the flow of the dinner. There are many small plates that you can order as you go through your meal. It was a great way to try a lot of the dishes and share with friends. Overall, the food was good although the risotto seemed to lack flavor.

Exquisite Italian food with great attention to detail, inviting atmosphere and awesome service. Class-act Melrose restaurant!

Osteria La Buca is a great find. The menu is diverse with pastas, pizzas, and other entrees (eg meat, fish & chicken). The cocktails are also great. The bar is small, but spacious enough. There is a decent amount of seating so it doesn't feel overly crowded, but also has an authentic feel. Would go again.
