Sunaina SwaminathanAugust 21, 2015Ask to be seated at the wine cellar downstairs for an intimate dinner. Octopus/rabbit sausage/spaghetti with a sea urchin base/pollo is a must try. Delizioso
- Sandy CJanuary 29, 2015Rarely do I leave a restaurant completely satisfied. Tonight was one of those few times. We shared the kale salad, burrata, risotto, and pork sausage. Also, the panacotta and apple tart for dessert.
Love this place. Delicious food and gorgeous space. Downside: seating is awkward - lots of communal tables and tables by doors leading to kitchen etc. Staff can be iffy/unhelpful.
Lauren LachsAugust 23, 2013the chocolate sorbet is the simplest and richest dessert on the menu, made with incredibly high quality dark chocolate. you can (and should) also get it to-go at alimentari
Jen HaysJuly 13, 2011This food is amazing and so fresh! Ask for a wine paring, especially if you want to try it all! The sommelier recommended a nice wine that paired pretty elegantly with a wide variety of foods.
Robert HabibMarch 9, 2013Outstanding. Pork blade was delicious. Don't feel you need to pay a lot for wine - even the cheaper bottles are excellent. Take somewhere there that you like. Will make an impression.- AMAZING Italian food, lovely atmosphere. If in season definitely get the heirloom tomato salad - divine. All pastas are great.
Geoff van der MeerJuly 25, 2015Rustic Italian food and setting. Highly recommend. The wine cellar is the perfect cool place to sit on a summer evening.
Beril EsenJanuary 18, 2015Ceviche is cured in blood orange here; definitely a must-try! Hanger steak is a little underdone but nonetheless highly palatable. Chocolate cake was somewhat too sweet.
Nick AndlingerAugust 8, 2015Love the Italian home vibe. Pastas are incredible as are fish and meat courses. Wine list is impeccable.
Erina YoshidaApril 24, 2015Authentic Italian spot. Very romantic and rustic. Try reserving the hidden wine cellar table for a special occasion!
Social Espionage, LLCDecember 28, 2010My favourite dress-up Italian in the city. A varied menu with something for every palate - warm comfortable place that you can really relax and enjoy scrumptious italian cuisine and a great wine list.
Wilson ZhouApril 12, 2016Dunk the warm country bread in Umbrian olive oils produced exclusively for Il Buco. You’ll have no trouble finding a wine to match your meal; Il Buco’s list is one of the city’s best. -TimeOut
Glen CoatesSeptember 23, 2014My favorite spot in NoHo for lunch. The people who work here are the best and the daily pasta menu always has something mind blowing on it.
David KaplanJuly 7, 2012Try the Spit-Roasted Short Ribs castelvetrano olives, celery, walnuts and horseradish - Doubly amazing. Enough for four people to share easily without too much fighting.- Renaissance HotelsFebruary 12, 2013An amazing Italian grocery store in the front, a romantic trattoria in the back – the porchetta a la Romana and octopus carpaccio are outstanding.

Katie DesmondDecember 4, 2010terrific meal! i highly recommend dinner downstairs in the wine cellar. the kale salad in awesome, along with the pork chop. and if you feel like splurging, definitely get the truffle pasta
Rent the RunwayApril 27, 2011Lit by lamps mostly made of farming tools, this is for the foodie in you. Ask your server about the red wines- they've got an impressive selection but don't skip out on the Kumquat Rickey either way.
Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011Formerly an antique shop, this charming enoteca beckons with the warmth of an Italian grandmother and fires romance. Book early and they’ll celebrate Tiffany couples with a prosecco toast.
CompassMay 19, 2014Mediterranean dishes change every night at the buzzing antique store turned restaurant. Il Buco is a favorite of many seasoned New Yorkers.
Hale TunaboyluSeptember 11, 2013Great place. Ricotta salad and salt coated red snapper perfect. Ricotta cake with apricots awesome. Wonderful interior setting and atmosphere
Halstead PropertyAugust 4, 2011Il Buco’s homemade pasta was perfectly complimented by their fine wine list. Don’t hesitate to purchase the nutty green olive oil and take home, it’s worth it.
rich masioSeptember 14, 2015Food is insane good. Som guy was terrific, staff had to deal with an asshole group who disturbed the entire restaurant on 9-12-15. They made them leave and took care of everyone.
Stephen AleschAugust 11, 2011I live a block away. I've been here 120 times, they still ask me where I'm from and if I've ever been here before. The food is good but turnaround of staff is high. Who's torturing these people!
Reb FSJuly 12, 2013No wireless signal in the downstairs area! Tough if you are expecting emails. But, delicious food and wine. If I wasn't working, would have been lovely!
- Justine BloomeNovember 25, 2015Must try - this little Italian hole in the wall is at the foot of my friend's building and is warm, wonderful and delicious.
MarieClaireDecember 9, 2010I don’t like when comfort food gets too fussy. Nothing overly fancy here. The dishes are simple and fresh, just as they should be. And the rustic décor is so cozy. -Nina Garcia, Fashion Director
Ekta DaryananiMay 7, 2015The spaghetti with sea urchin is garlicky and delicious! The panna cotta with the balsamic drizzle blew my mind!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 5, 2013A truly amazing and romantic Italian restaurant - especially if you sit in the wine cellar.
Virginie Martin-OnraetJuly 19, 2013Perfectly cute. Spaghetti with cockles and white wine <3 Pasta is amazing and fish is delicious.
John TantilloJune 27, 2014Try the Tuna main coarse and ginger ale drink. Thanks Jonscott for a great birthday lunch.
J StandeferApril 20, 2016Great female bartender. Great pasta dish. Great wine selections. Neat take on the kale salad.
Yota AndreouMarch 25, 2016Cosy, atmospheric, great pastas and very fresh salads! Expensive wine list for the quality.
Pedro MaldonadoOctober 24, 2016The waiters are very kind ! And the food is amazing! Federico was just Excellent!!!
Meredith AMarch 10, 2012Reserve the wine cellar for a large party and prepare for amazing food in a beautiful setting.
White lasagna bolognese is amazing. Very rich. Go splitty splitty with a pal on that and the ricotta dumplings.
- The Velveta tempranillo by the glass us absolutely incredible. Unfiltered, buttery and smells of a nice port. Enjoy this glass and you'll not forget it.
Josephine SonMarch 11, 2011Wine cellar is one of my fav rooms in the city! Everything is great, but my fav is the panna cotta!
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011Described as “last meal”-worthy, it’s the perfect place to take your confessor to show your appreciation for his dexterity with a cheese cutter. Quoted from Zagat.
- Valentin GuerinSeptember 21, 2015Great Italian restaurant, ask for a table in the wine cellar, so romantic!
Nico PitneyOctober 16, 2014We split the urchin tagliatelle and the kale salad and could not have been happier.
Tasting TableMay 23, 2012
Casey GollanFebruary 19, 2011Everything is good but save room for dessert. Get the panna cotta with balsamic; die and go to heaven.
Erik MichielsenDecember 23, 2012Host your private dinner - bring sweaters - in the best location for it in the city - the cellar.
Ellen DaneluzziFebruary 19, 2015Need more vegetarian and vegan options. Only came at a clients request, wasn't anything on the menu that didn't come from an animal.Upvoted Mar 20
LumaAugust 26, 2016Good food, excellent service. It's a nice hole in the wall resturant with good italian food.
Alper EkşioğluNovember 1, 2016They printed a new menu with our names because of our anniversary celebration. Very nice gesture!
- Nate BeattyJanuary 18, 2016Put up with the slow service and savor the friendly vibe and amazing food. Worth it.
Tinsley MeloyAugust 28, 2009Eat dinner in the wine cellar at Il Buco - it's beautiful. A little chilly, so I'd bring a sweater.
Alberto CuevasMarch 25Un lugar muy romántico y con excelente servicio. // Prueben la "Panna Cotta con Balsámico" es deliciosa.
