La Buca

Chef-owner Giuseppe Giuliani opened Ristorante La Buca over thirty years ago and it is still going strong. “Buca” (meaning cave) remains a local classic and not too much has changed at this hideaway serving outstanding Tuscan originals.

A visit to 711 Locust Street still means a walk down that flight of stairs into another world that is reminiscent of Italy, and the ambiance of this spot makes your meal even more enjoyable and memorable.
