Buca di Sant'Antonio

Buca di Sant'Antonio Review

The staying power of Buca di Sant'Antonio—it's been around since 1782—is the result of superlative Tuscan food brought to the table by waitstaff that doesn't miss a beat. The menu includes the simple but blissful, like tortelli lucchesi al sugo (meat-stuffed pasta with a tomato-and-meat sauce), and more daring dishes such as roast capretto (kid) with herbs. A white-wall interior hung with copper pots and brass musical instruments creates a classy but comfortable dining space.

    Perhaps we went with high expectations but the mood and service came up a little short. The food was great (if a bit pricey) but we never seemed to connect with our waiter. We didn't want to become his buddy but a simple smile, once, would have made us feel that we were actually present.
