il Buco Alimentari e Vineria

“An excellent, authentic Italian restaurant in the Soho. It features both a shop selling Italian products and the restaurant itself. The menu is extensive and delicious, with vegetarian options available. There is an immense wine list. The atmosphere is warm, and the service is top-notch, expertly overseen by Julien. Highly recommended. A+++”

“Might be one of the best meals I've ever had in the city. Well worth it to dine in excellence”

“I have been to this restaurant many many times and it is consistently delicious. I just love it. Went with my friend and her friends all from out of town and again, it was so good. They enjoyed it very much. I always order the same things but tonight I got to try some new things. The crispy artichokes and lattuga salad are both staples and both delicious. We ordered a pizza which I didn’t even know they had and it was yummy! The Cacio e Pepe is so good I can’t seem to order anything else, and it delivered tonight as well. We also tried the special pasta which was a pesto with peas and pea shoots and it was so good I wanted to lick the plate. They ordered the Bavette. I’m not a big steak eater but the bite I had was really delicious. For dessert we had fennel gelato and it was so fresh and interesting, just exquisite and the strawberry also devine. I love the vibe and the service - you think they’re going to be snooty but they are nothing short of nice and lovely and patient!”

“Great service, lovely and unique ambiance, delicious food (olive oil is a must), wonderful wine selection + cocktails, and seamless reservation process via Resy/Amex Global Dining. We got the fried artichoke, lamb ragu tagliatelle and a mussels/squid ink pasta dish (can't remember the name), a side of roasted maitake mushrooms, and affogato for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious - although the mushrooms weren't my personal fav. More dry and crunchy than I'd like, but my husband enjoyed them. For seating next time I'll request to not be seated in the very far back end-of-the-table seat right next to the kitchen. Waitstaff was hustling and bustling in the corner behind me a lot (not their fault, I just don't think there should be a seat there). I couldn't fully relax, but it was cool being able to see the kitchen in action.”

“It is a cozy Italian restaurant with high prices for small plates of ok pasta. They charge $5 for the carbonated tap water. Still enjoyed the ambiance.”
