"Osteria La Buca in Hollywood is one of the most reliable Italian spots in the neighborhood, perfect for midweek client lunches, casual date nights, and rowdy private dinner parties upstairs in the pasta room. The Sherman Oaks location is basically a carbon copy of that (minus the pasta room, sadly), meaning if you’re cruising up Ventura craving a solid bowl of carbonara, a hearty chopped salad, or quick glass of wine at lunch hour, this bright, spacious trattoria is a great option to keep in mind.

"Though La Buca means “hole in the wall,” Osteria La Buca is anything but. The second location opened in October 2020 with the same menu that made the original Melrose spot a favorite with rigatoni bolognese and bucatini carbonara. At both locations, groups are always welcome and easily accommodated with a reservation." - Mona Holmes, Eater Staff
"Rooted in California farming and grassroots Italian cooking, I valued Osteria la Buca’s daily-made house pastas (eight options, including a bright Calabrian sorpressini with rainbow chard, cannellini beans, Parmesan, walnuts, chives, and lemon), along with simple pizzas, meat and seafood dishes, and a Negroni on tap." - Eater Staff
"A classic California-farming-meets-Italian-cooking spot where all produce comes from the restaurant’s private farm or local farmers’ markets; pastas are made in-house daily (with or without gluten), and the butter and sage tagliatelle is generous — large portions with plenty of brown butter and pecorino topped with crispy fried sage — making it the kind of place best enjoyed family-style: bring a date, split a pizza, and share dishes." - Eater Staff
