nice atmosphere in an old stone wine cellar. Owners are very nice. When we asked what he likes to eat on his menu he recommended the meat, so he ordered us a Tuscany steak, not before having hand rolled pasta starter. The steak came and it was huge and extremely good,perfectly cooked. we cannot get the same quality beef in... More

Four of us enjoyed a fabulous late lunch within this inviting converted wine cellar in Cortona. The ambience created by all the different brick archways by candle light set the mood for a relaxing meal very well. The pastas with either wild-boar sauce or with white truffle sauce were truly amazing. Very friendly owner and helpful staff made our experience... More

Asked our taxi driver for a recommendation on the ride in; he sais this was the best restaurant in Cortona, and the one he would pick for a special occasion. I can't speak for the others, but La Bucaccia was excellent. We got in without a reservation, as we were early, but others were turned away. Maitre D very good,... More

I should add a review here, although we ate here a year ago in 2011 on a trip. Wonderful food -- great chestnut flour ravioli, stuffed with wild mushrooms, wonderful boar. It was all good. The host and chef are a wonderful couple, and treated us very warmly with extra free courses, dessert and some great Limoncello at the end... More

We recently returned from a weeks stay in Cortona, Italy. We actually selected to stay in Cortona because 2 years ago we dined at La Bucaccia and it was a wonderful experience! After returning to this restaurant (two years later), the owner, Romano remembered us!!! We enjoyed dining for lunch at their charming outside tables. For dinner we enjoyed inside... More

The place is quite charming but we went over a bank holiday week end in Italy and the service was terrible and the food really avarage. we had a reservation but we did get a table for 40 minutes and while we were waiting they didnt offer us any drinks or an apologies, so the whole experience has been ruined More

We were greeted by the owner late at night and he was more than happy to have us even though the kitchen was closing. The food was excellent and the service prompt (complimentary champagne when he felt the wait became to long for our table). The waitstaff were very lively and joked with us as best they could given the... More

We enjoyed our meal very much. The portions were a a very good size. We thought the pasta was very good-recommend the pasta in boar sauce. We all had the grilled filet. Very tasty. The vegetable of the day was spinach and it was superb. Pace of the meal was very good. We got the pecorina cheese with mushrooms-excellent. More

We were invited to our very dear friend's wedding in Cortona and had a fabulous couple of days with them. The day of the wedding was glorious and we were able to walk through the square to the Town Hall for the intimate ceremony, then have drinks and photographs in and around the town. Then we went for the meal... More
