Il Buco is a renowned Mediterranean restaurant with the look and feel of a European country home, the perfect ambiance for your next romantic meal for two. And there is their sister restaurant: Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria as well.
Tessa and Frank – my foodie friends, raved about their dinner at il Buco Alimentari & Vineria, Il Bucco’s sister restaurant: a market salumeria, bakery and enoteca and restaurant. They started with crispy baby artichoke, a fresh ricotta salad with granola garnished with mint, and an extremely seductive grilled octopus dish with kumquats and citrus fruits. Knowing them, they shared this wonderful meal with an exceptional bottle of wine.
Here is some information that I found on Il Buco’s website: Independent filmmaker Donna Lennard and her Italian boyfriend, Alberto Avalle, opened Il Buco in 1994 on cobblestoned Bond Street and evolved it into the charming enoteca it is toad. The menu is eclectic: part Italian, part Spanish, part invention, dedicated to local ingredients with a wine list made up of small boutique producers.
The Il Buco culinary philosophy is firmly rooted in the Italian tradition of seasonality and the integrity of prime materials. We spend an enormous amount of time sourcing ingredients and derive great pleasure in working with our producers to bring the best product to your table.
