There were no other people dining in the restaurant but I went in for lunch anyway on the recommendation of a friend who had been four or five years ago. I was charged a two Euro "cover charge". When I inquired about the charge, I was told this was a customary charge for bread (I hadn't asked for it, nor... More

The restaurant is the heart of the historical centre, between Piazza Venezia and the Pantheon, just two blocks from Via del Corso and well on the way to Piazza Navona. The restaurant was opened in 1901. It still offers authentic Tuscan cuisine and is said to be famous for the high quality of its meats: from the refined chateaubriand to... More

Everything we ordered was tasty, the service was good.

We loved Il Buco. The service was excellent--everyone was so nice and helpful, from the maitre d' to the waiter to the manager.
