Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. Buttery thin crust. Excellent. Service was great. They really went out of their way to accommodate our large party. We'll be back.

First time here and called in an order to go. When I arrived around 5p it was bustling with workers rushing to fill orders. Food exceeded expectations for flavor and freshness. It's now my #1 spot for kabobs or rotisserie chicken!

The place was full and very busy - a lovely buzz of people enjoying themselves. Despite the crowd, the service was crisp and friendly and the food and drinks arrived promptly. The food was excellent; absolutely no complaints. We are really glad that we went back.

Burned, overly salty chicken parmigiana with too little marinara and then $20 for what was supposed to be a full portion of short rib ravioli, but amounted to a snack. Spaghetti was made poorly and every noodle stuck together when trying to pull them out with a fork. At least the ravioli tasted good.

Best pizza I have ever had, I ordered the little star pizza deep dish and the white pizza. The little star the best I ever had, but the white pizza was a bit too salty for me. But overall very good.

Delicious! A must try if you love seafood. I am not a huge seafood lover but their flavors combines the cioppino so well. And their risotto was cooked perfectly!

Impressed by the quality of food and service at Osteria! The pandemic makes takeout feel like a hit or miss these days but I can tell you they make sure everyone involved is as safe as possible. Ordered some pizza, pasta and groceries. Be safe, eat well!

Pretty good gluten free crust pizza at this place. My friends and I got takeout because she lives right across the street and we weren't in the mood to wait to sit at a table. We ordered some wings and pizza. They originally said the wings were gluten free, but at the end of our order they told us they were not. Everyone enjoyed their pizzas; I got the Brussels sprouts one and it was pretty good even without the cheese. I was disappointed that the wings weren't gluten free; they looked like they were though not that great... Guess I'll do with anchovies as my protein again next time!

Amazing food, awesome service. Had tomato toast, garlic prawns, queso fundido, paella marinera, along with a glass of sangria and churros for dessert. The meal came with complimentary bread and olives/garlic and literally every dishwas delicious. A really great ambience outside, and there was live Spanish guitar music! Will definitely be back.

A5 stars! This was the first time I came by at this place for some pasta cravings. I was not mistaken about choosing this place because their menu has a lot of pasta that looks very amazing and delicious. Fortunately, I didn't need to wait for that long compared to other pasta restaurants. They accommodated my orders quickly with fair pricing.

One of the best if not the best Italian food in Los Angeles. I've been to several Provinces in Italy, and I find the food very close, with its own original flair. The service is always great, the servers and greeters are always friendly and have a smile on their face which is refreshing. The food is consistently on point.

Small Italian place that serves great pasta, wines, and desserts. I love dining here because they served a portion of really great food in town. The atmosphere of this cozy restaurant is so nice and the staff is very kind. It was such a great Italian restaurant in this small town. I will surely visit this shop again.

The ambiance was amazing here. Mood lightning, good music and great service! I ordered the chicken parm with a side of spaghetti pomodoro. The spaghetti was a little under cooked for me but the flavor was fantastic. My friend ordered the Nero pasta which had the best lemon sauce flavor I've ever had. The buca farm salad was out of this world. We just ordered the tiramisu cake, gonna guess that's gonna be flippin good too!Overall great experience here, Sara was our server and she was wonderful.

It was a good place for Italian foods. We tried egg baked pizza, Chicken parmesan and Calzone all were good but the creamy spinach as a appetizer was one of the best spinach things that I have ever tried. The price was really reasonable. It’s the place that I want to go another time to try Some Pastas.

My husband and I were invited here for a friends wedding reception. Private party was in the downstairs and it seems to be able to have 40-50ish people. We had 8 different dishes including pizzas, risotto, meatballs, salad and all of them are so good! Everything was just perfect; I'll def come back here!

This Osteria La Buca authentic Italian restaurant is one of my go to places when I'm in the area. Which is quite often. They are consistently good with the quality, taste and portions and always give you a really good value for your money. Desserts are off the hook. I've been there now too many times to count. And it's excellent every time. Friendly staff especially Paolo.Great food. You don't want to miss this one!

The short rib ravioli , bucatini carbonara, nero spagetti, and wood ear mushroom salad are legendary. We've never had anything so good like that before. Fast service and great food. 5 stars all the way!

I’m glad we discovered this place early in the pandemic. The food is incredible, fresh and delicious. The pasta dishes are amazing and the pizza is outstanding. My wife is a New Yorker and she agrees about the pizza. We haven’t been to the restaurant itself yet, but when this thing calms down, you can nwe’ll be there.
