The youngest of seven Sicily-born Drago siblings, Giacomino has managed to carve out a nice culinary niche for himself in the same city that's home to older brother Celestino's Italian empire. The lunch and dinner menus are similar,… Read Full Editorial
Authenticity at Its Best by Kika Davis 2 via Citysearch on 6/1/2010
Il Buco's rustic Italian authenticity will impress anyone from the Jersey Shore, yes, even them. Their menu is peppered with home favorites, such as pumpkin-filled ravioli, thin-crusted Neapolitan pizzas, and osso buco. Don't forget their…
Favorite Restaurant in LA by Jon Fox via Citysearch on 4/22/2010
This is hands down my favorite, local restaurant in LA. The food is spectacular and shows tremendous inspiration from the chefs. The menu is creative but the specials often have you miss out on them because they are so great as well. The…
Perfect Thin Crisp Pizza by Teresa P via Insider Pages on 8/14/2009
I had the pleasure of working across the street from Il Buco and the thin crust pizza is the best EVER! Salads and pasta are great as well. Not the cheapest place but worth every penny for perfect pizza. You'll understand when you taste it!
The best Italian food hands down!!!!!!!! by nickyoung via Citysearch on 10/5/2008
I've even had the luxury of living in Rome, Italy when I was growing up and going to the best restaurants with my folks..and this place is the best Italian food i've ever had. The owner is always extremely personable and gracious. I love…
Going downhill by leonalip via Citysearch on 9/3/2007
At one time, I used to enjoy going to this place, but I won't be going back again. It's an Italian restaurant but nobody who works there is Italian. I get a sense the staff lack proper training, like maybe the owner is too busy with his…
Good Italian doesn't make up for nightmarish wait and negligent service. by babystrange via Citysearch on 6/15/2007
I went to Il Buco for the first time with my parents recently. We were seated promptly and placed our orders within a few minutes, so initially I would have ranked the service at average or above. After enjoying some of their seasoned…
Great food, great service by num23bulls via Citysearch on 2/23/2007
It's been a long time (more than a year) since I've eaten here, but it still sticks out in my mind as one of the better restaurants I've ever been to. Good food, good wine selection. The decor could use a little boost, but hey, I'll take a…
A small haven of romance and good Italian food. by Contributor via Citysearch on 12/1/2006
The Scene
This intimate little trattoria charms with touches of Italian country--wood beam ceilings, black-and-white photos, and wooden racks draped with colorful strands of home-made pasta. Votive candles and soundtrack of…
Best Gnocchi Dish Ever!!!! by Elischa via Citysearch on 11/8/2006
I went to this place with a friend of mine, and after the meal here.....I thought I was in love with him. I'm kidding...anyway..the food is so fresh, and authentic. The servers there are very well informed with the wine lists, and…
Great Italian Food by t2much via Citysearch on 10/9/2006
I went there for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. I had insalata verde, pappardelle, and apple pie with a glass of wine. I varied a little bit from the menu and they had no problem accomodating my…
Say Bye Bye to Il Buco by birdgirl via Citysearch on 8/22/2006
Went on a Thursday night and service was terrible for a near empty restaurant. Of course, the two cute young things who came in after us were postively fawned over. Took forever to get menus, water, wine, bread, etc. I don't mind the…
Best Italian in LA by lovefood17 via Citysearch on 6/20/2006
I love this restaurant. It's a bit expensive but the food is delicious! The salads and pastas are really good. The food is so good that I never have room for dessert at the end. Definitely go check it out...you won't be disappointed!
Yummy and priced right by katgoesbananas via Citysearch on 4/21/2006
Had dinner there early before the theatre last weekend - the food was amazing and the service was friendly and efficient. I figured we'd be the only ones eating at 5:30 pm, but there were several other tables seated when we arrived. By…
Little place with the great food!! by elleater via Citysearch on 1/4/2006
Little place but the food is amazingly delicious! the server friendly and the price is affordable/inexpensive. If you want o find a good food without fancy but yet is quite romantic. the risoto mushroom and the wine list are excellent!
Finally! A great Italian place in LA! by bette1stl via Citysearch on 11/17/2005
Great Italian places here are hard to find. There's no Little Italy or North End about LA, so we usually opt to just order in chicken parmisan or something from one of the pizza counter places. Until we found Il Buco. It is just…
Nice cute little italian restaurant by steve h. via Judy's Book on 8/7/2005
Looking for an award winning restaurant that is not too overwhelming?Well, look no further because there is just one restaurant next to you...Il Buco... is very charming restaurant with the family feeling... eventhough it is located in the…
Delicious food by Ryan A via Insider Pages on 7/22/2005
This is a really great restaurant. They offer great Italian food, I recommend panino al pollo. They also offer a large selection of wines. The restaurant is small but I early enjoy the atmosphere. The food prices are moderate. This…
My Favorite Restaurant by Devin M via Insider Pages on 2/16/2005
I stumbled on this place almost on accident and it is the best Italian restaurant I know of. The prices are surprisingly reasonable (<$40 for 2) and the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. They even put your napkin in your lap for you! …
Great food, service and value! by svlin via Citysearch on 12/9/2003
The food was so very tasty! The service was impeccable! The atmosphere is romantic, albeit a little claustrophobic! What more could you ask for? Make sure to make reservations as they fill up quickly!
O Sole Mio by cos23 via Citysearch on 3/5/2003
Good food, friendly service, nice soundtrack. The pastas are fresh and really good. Soups are the only thing I would stay away from. Tables are on top of each other, but they do the best they can with the small space they have.
