text: So it is a restaurant chain That does not matter to me I am a fan I admit that I do not ever eat at Buca unless I have a coupon but come on they send them in the mail all of the time I am also signed up on the email list so they send offers that way too I received a off with purchase of entrees and wanted to take advantage of it since I had not had Buca in a while and it was better then the off they generally send nnWe arrived just after pm The parking lot was pretty empty and when we got inside we were able to have our pick of where to sit since they were not busy We must have just beat the dinner rush coming in because the restaurant soon filled up Our server brought some complimentary bread that I had to force myself to put down to save room for my meal that was coming I could have eaten the bread all to myself Since Buca serves family style meals the portions are big They have small and large sizes but do not let the small size trick you into thinking it is not much because it is plentiful nnI ordered the Penne Arrabbiata priced at for the small It had spicy Italian sausage on top of the pasta as well in the sauce I was not crazy about this dish simply because it had too much sausage flavor I like sausage but do not like it overpowering certain dishes The sausage that was on the pasta also was a bit dry The other dish I ordered was the Baked Lasagna priced at for the small This is so good The meat sauce it tasty and the cheesy goodness it what makes it There is ricotta mozzarella provolone and parmesan cheese in this lasagna Very comforting and delicious nnYou can phone your order for pickup if you do not feel like eating inside Buca has several options as far as catering goes You can pick up Party Pans they have a menu for this if you are having a gathering at your house and do not want the fuss of cooking They offer different sizes and menu options broken down to how many people you are entertaining They also offer a catering service where you can have Buca deliver the food along with tablecloths plates utensils etc so this is probably a great choice for a corporate party They also have banquet rooms some themed and offer group menu options When the server told me about the themed rooms I wondered what they could be like since there are pictures of naked people hanging on the regular dining walls I crack up every time wondering how they get away with that since Buca is supposed to be a place to bring the familia but it is just part of the character and I guess it works
