On our way to the Rodeo, tonight was my pick. We have always enjoyed Buca's and we arrived just in time, the "kitchen table" was full, along with some of the other fun tables, but we didn't have to wait!!
We were both hungry and let the "family style" rule slip our minds...
We started with Bruschetta- and just let me say -LOVED the PRESENTATION!!! I mean seriously look at this!! Roma tomato, fresh mozzarella, red onions, basil-infused olive oil and balsamic vinegar, served with Parmesan crostini. This stuff was good, a must have!!!!! Remember this serves 2-4 people, family style!
Randy then remembers we also love the Chopped Antipasto Salad-
this is THE best salad we have ever had!
Pepperoni, red onion, peppers, cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, olives, provolone, feta, and Gorgonzola with lettuce in their signature Italian vinaigrette. Again, small salad for 2 or more.
Randy then ordered Stuffed Shells - pasta filled with spicy Italian sausage, spinach, ricotta, and Parmesan, with Alfredo and their homemade marinara sauce.
"The Italian sausage had a little kick to it, but really good"
I ordered Chicken Glorioso - white wine, Alfredo sauce, and sun dried tomatoes, (I passed on the artichokes), and a side of pasta (different setup for lunch).
"I was in pasta heaven"
Our server Mariah was AWESOME, and as the crowd picked up she never missed a chance to check on us.
The key to Buca's is to go hungry or take friends, Randy and I can't wait to go back and plan on taking friends, anyone interested in joining us????
