I am delighted to endorse the earlier glowing reviews on Ristorante La Bucaccia in Cortona, Italy. This cozy place is located just steps from the main piazzas of this very charming hill town; it is easily reached, too, from public parking via an opening in the ancient town wall. The restaurant’s ambience is the creative effort of a smooth working... more

My wife and I enjoyed a pleasant meal at La Bucaccia near the end of OCT2009. Romano and his daughter made us feel comfortable and provided attentive service. We don't eat large or expensive meals, but the service for us was just a warm as tables ordering much larger meals. My wife didn't want any Chianti this night, and after... more

Fabulous!

What a pleasant surprise. Mom and I spent our last night in the lovely hill town of Cortona dining at la Bucaccia. The cosy stoned walled resturant enveloped us in atmosphere, the service was pure warm Italian moxy and the food was authenic Tuscany at its best. For the best ask a local and we were not dissapointed. Thank you... more

To experience the best of local Tuscan cooking - eat here. Romano, the owner, is welcoming and entertaining and makes you feel like family. We first visited this restaurant four years ago while in Cortona and since then have looked forward to returning for his wife's Papperedelle with Wild Boar Sauce. You also have to try the side dish that... more

Agostina's food is perfectly done, every time. Francesca's wine service is better than any adult sommelier we have had, anywhere, and Romano's service and ambience are absolute perfection. The family and staff are generous, loving, talented and well worth the moderate prices they have. We love this family and their restaurant! My cost per person is based on a 5... more

We visited back in August, and quite honesty, this place was the best I've ever eaten. Not only was the food DELICIOUS, but the service was outstanding. We actually did not visit any place else when in Cortona, but were content being entertained by the service and our bellies satisfied from the food. Romano, the host, was personable and made... more

When we returned to Cortona this year we couldn't wait to return to La Bucaccia. It was even more wonderful than we had remembered. The food was completely amazing. Each course was a delight, from homemade ricotta to the array thinly sliced meat cured by the owner Romano to perfection, from proscuitto wrapped in melon to the 3 different aged... more

Our lunch at La Bucaccia in the quaint village of Cortona was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. The food was creative, full of seasonal flavors and beautifully presented. The host, Romano, is "Mr. Personality" and so charming that we felt like regulars to the establishment. In addition to the "wine pasta" and fresh porccinis that were... more
