Buca Vaughan

Buca Vaughan absolutely impressed. The ambience here is beautiful and the wait staff are very friendly and attentive. The broiled octopus is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, the color, texture, plating and flavour was phenomenal. The pasta and steak were great but the Octopus was the true star of the night. The desert was beautifully presented as well and tasted phenomenal. It was quite a generous portion for desert which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend Buca Vaughan!

Great experience at Buca Vaughan! Service was great, food was delicious. Many options for sharing with others at your table. Wine list is phenomenal, it's a book! So many choices. Consider this is nice dinner out, you will spend a little more than usual to get exceptional service and food.

Good atmosphere, complementary valet is great to have. Food was good overall, really liked scallop. Perhaps will have to visit again to compare other dishes.

As always great food, ambiance and service! Very impressive wine list. Best Italian restaurant in Vaughan!

One of Toronto's finest is now in Vaughan. Have been coming here now for about a year since it opened. The food here is always really good. Between presentation and taste is one of the best Italian restaurants you'll find. Though you are paying the price as an average cost per head is well over $100 for a three-course meal and drinks. Service tends to be very good. Unfortunately at times when it's over busy it can be a little slow as this time my steak came out pretty cold. Overall, I still recommend this place for special occasions and finer experience. Will be looking forward to my next visit.

Buca Vaughan has a stylish ambiance and a menu that promises high-end Italian cuisine, but the experience fell a bit short of expectations. While sole items clearly delivered, other dishes lacked the depth of flavour you would hope for, especially given the price point. Overall, Buca Vaughan is decent, but not a must-visit—there are other Italian spots in the area that offer a better balance after all.

The restaurant was difficult to find. There is only a small non illuminated sign by the front door which wasn't too helpful in the dark. I had to stop and call the restaurant which was unfortunate. There isn't any parking that I can see so I opted to use the valet service. Not sure if this was the only option but it didn't seem wise to drive around looking for spot in the dark. The service was excellent as our waiter was especially attentive. However, we found the food to only be fair. It was good but really nothing that we felt justified the prices. Also, the kids mentioned that the portion sizes were small. For around $100 per person, we expected the food to be amazing.

My husband and I go here every Friday for pizza night, and their pizzas are mouthwatering. The crust is so airy and fluffy, and the toppings are top-notch! We certainly love their service and how friendly they are. Their cocktails are amazing too, and worth the money unlike most other places.

3.5 stars. Equally delicious food could be found for a lesser price point. Service was great aside from a minor issue with the bill. We went out for Mothers Day dinner on the Saturday night to avoid crowds. This newer addition to the Buca chain was not full. Online menu is not updated. We had: Nodini - so simple, so good Kale and Cara Cara orange salad Burrata pizza Salumi pizza Angel hair pasta with lobster Hazelnut gelato - had a little croquant mmm Another flavour of Gelato American with cute little biscotti (Complimentary amaretti biscuits with the bill were a nice touch) We could not figure out how to not pay for parking in a city where you don't usually have to pay for parking. We passed on the valet but it likely would have been better than the parking garage next door that didn't like the parking card that it gave us and so charged us $32!

I had great experiences at Buca Yorkville. I have high expectation at Buca Vaughan. I booked it for our anniversary. My overall experience is just okay though it's near to my home compared with Buca Yorkville. Here's why... Complimentary parking - we stopped the car at valet but the person in charge is too concentrate on his phone, so we decided to park on the street instead. Less than $7 for 1.5 hours, not bad. Food - we ordered Branzino (Italian sashimi ) and Nodini as appetizer. The fish is fresh and delicious. We love it. And we can see the showmanship of how to use knife and forks to cut the fillet piece by piece. For Nodini, it's kind of chewy. Octopus and lobster angel hair are good. Pistachio gelato is very smooth. The crispy top of tiramisu is very interesting. The restaurant is quite big and kind of divided into 2 sections. However spaces among tables are not enough. We are seated in front of a big party table with a wall partition. Staff is using the table do their prep and count money. I'd prefer there's a curtain so that customers are not able to see through. Service - attentive service from the servers. We booked for our anniversary but no one mentioned about this. The manager is too busy. When we passed by, he's too tense I really expect a good bye smile.

Delicious food and amazing atmosphere. Very authentic feel and welcoming wait staff. They took care of our group of 15 with elegance and grace and provided a tasting menu that was amazing.
