Food was very good, well above average. Owner on the premises. Service very attentive and efficient, and they very much aim to please. We had a great time.

I've neglected to post this review earlier simply because I forgot the restaurant's name. Then I found a photo the owner took of us at the restaurant, and spotted the name in the background. What an unexpected and pleasant surprize we enjoyed at this small, family-run restaurant in Cortona. When we arrived, we selected an out-side table on the quiet... More

Fabulous meal last night! The other recent reviews have said it all. I must add that the homemade Limoncello is the best I have had and the Brunello Grappa that they pour is smooth. Tiramisu and the chocolate cake are fantastic. I would recommend the chintella ? beef for its flavor, but the Florentine beef melts in your mouth. All... More

This restaurant is a must if you are in Cortona or surroundings. In fact, I probably would make another visit to Tuscany just to eat here. The food is divine. So much so, that we ate here 2 nights in a row (even though there are so many options to choose from in Cortona). The owner, Romano is a jovial... More

La Bucaccia serves excellent Tuscan cuisine in a small,very attractive room. There is a good balance of tradition and innovation on the menu. The pork with prunes and apples was outstanding. During our first courses the owner brought a huge piece of cured ham to our table and offered us free samples. Delicious. The wine list had many good choices... More

Our landlady had advertised in her info to me that La Bucaccia was her favourite restaurant and reiterated it when we met her. We went there for lunch and chose the daily special. Our meal came in a glass cone on a plate. The server disassembled the cone into three glass parts-each of which had a different pork preparation. It... More

If you like big flavours and an even bigger personality from the staff then you need to eat here. The food is outstanding with a huge choice. In the end we went for the set menu as we couldn't decide and wow we couldn't have asked for anything more. This food is excellent and we have eaten a lot in... More

We came here based on all the favourable reviews. Every single portion of this meal was outstanding The 2 owners are so pleasant, and work hard to make this an unforgettable dining experience. Starting with the cheese and salami appetizers (brought as you sit down), until that final taste of dessert, this was totally something we will remember. Must do... More

Yesterday was our second visit to La Bucaccia after 4 years. We came all the way from Istanbul and drove all the way to Cortona just for this lunch. We found the cuisine far more advanced than our first time, the atmosphere created by the owners much more enjoyable and entertaining. We even had a nostalgic and touching moment with... More

We visited La Bucaccia earlier this month, and had the best meal of many great ones to date. Romano, Agostina and Alessandra do an absolutely superb job of service, but it is the food that makes it one of the top two restaurants in Cortona. Go prepared to spend some time, enjoy the joyous interaction between the staff and the... More
