What People Are Saying About La Buca

The Editor

Contributor

Citysearch

In Short – This airy order-up-front-and-be-seated restaurant caters to champagne tastes on a beer budget. Patrons are pleasantly surprised by the fluffy, sprightly plates of mixed greens, lit up by a vinaigrette. The main offerings involve pastas or grilled panini, and range from a foundational spaghetti with olive oil, to an extravagant, three-cheese ravioli with basil pesto. And the penne with creamy tomato sauce proffers sausage with just a bit of a bite.

Verbal Hostility from Service

by prefer civilized at Citysearch

Ate good meals at La Buca, but as we left the restaurant, the waitress ran up within arm's reach, and began yelling that she had not been tipped. Rather than inquiring that it might have been an oversight (it was) she began an aggressive yelling spree to be heard throughout the restaurant. Two separate issues are here: certainly tipping is a good thing, but hostile yelling into the face of customers is not a reasonable response, nor is it civil. I have never experienced this low a level of service. We declined to amend, for which a generous tip would have been less than four dollars. I regret that I must give even a single star to such a place in order to publish.

  • Pros: Good fare, well-cooked
  • Cons: Worst service ever

Simply La Best!

by ACJ at Citysearch

This is my favorite eaterie in Portland - the food is always really good, the service warm and friendly, and I appreciate the fact that you can get a decent bottle of wine without seeing your total double. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. The fish is always staggeringly good value, too. Thank you!

  • Pros: great food, service, wine, ambience
  • Cons: absolutely none
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
