I recently dined at Bucci and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy and intimate ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. The menu is filled with a fantastic selection of classic Italian dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I highly recommend the pasta – it was perfectly cooked, with rich, flavourful sauces that transported me straight to Italy. The pizzas are another standout, with a thin, crispy crust and generous toppings that are truly mouthwatering. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a casual night out with friends, Bucci is the perfect spot. I'll definitely be returning soon to explore more of their delicious menu! Highly recommended.

I went with a group to dine here last Friday. It was honestly impressive how quickly the head waiter was able to ruin our experience. We had not even managed to order drinks before becoming distracted by the cacophony he was making. This was an achievement in what was already a very bustling restaurant, but his voice projected loud and clear as he berated and gesticulated at his junior staff. I can appreciate that he was busy, as he was clearly frazzled and overwhelmed. However, the demeaning and degrading nature of his behaviour was absolutely shocking to see, and we had a front row seat. One poor waitress almost lost her head when the aforementioned headwaiter wildly swung a plate of food as he passed through the tables. The environment was very stressful, to the point that we did not want to stay and eat. As we got up to leave, our night having been ruined by this spectacle, the head waiter questioned us as to why we were leaving. When I informed him that we were leaving because of the shocking yelling and maltreatment of staff that we witnessed, his response was along the lines of 'I'm Italian, this is how we do things'. He became confrontational, putting his face right up to mine and then continued to say that his behaviour clearly had no bearing on the high reviews this restaurant recieved. The junior staff here deserve better. I will not be returning and I would recommend management reconsider their decision to continue employing him as he is a liability to this establishment.

After years of saying should really try Bucci, my friend and I had a spontaneous night here. The staff were super friendly and it really is like being in Italy. Before the espresso martini phase was in we ordered espresso martini’s. They didn’t have the ingredients so went to the local tescos to see if they could buy them. Fast forward 8 years, the food is still wonderful and the staff are just as friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and the espresso martinis are now on the menu. They were very much worth the wait. Looking forward to my next visit.

We had the most amazing time here, we was warmly greeted when we arrived and was offered a choice of tables to sit at. Good job that we booked as it got very busy which we took as a good sign. We was promptly given the food and drinks menu and given time to peruse them. There was a slight mess up with the 1st drink order but we think the waiter was new but it was all sorted out. The food was delicious we had calamari and garlic bread to start, My mum who has food intolerances was able to make changes to what she ordered with no fuss and the other dishes we ordered pan fried chicken and lamb cutlets were superb. The service we received from Giuseppe and Renato was fantastic we will definitely return and I have already recommended people to go here.

Large portion sizes for the two pasta dishes we had but the quality was four stars - didn’t quite pop. Bancone and Officina 00 have cheaper prices for pasta dishes which are top notch, although smaller sized. We had to ask for the bill four times which was a disappointing end to the night especially as it wasn’t that busy.

We were surprised to be seated between 2 parties! One of 32 and one of 16 which made for a very loud atmosphere! One we adjusted to the noise we were able to enjoy the evening. We were served our drinks straight away and ordered our food. We were a table of 4 who began by sharing the antipasti meat platter and the beetroot starter. But were absolutely first class. The flavours were amazing and we all thoroughly enjoyed. The main courses were first class. We had the mixed fried fish, seafood linguine, salmon and sea bass. We would highly recommend all 4 of these dishes. The flavours and the cooking of the fish was perfect. We would highly recommend all 4 of these dishes. The staff were attentive even though they were run off their feet with the big parties. It looked like everyone in the room was having the best time (all to be 30 again). We would like to return here again next time in London but hopefully next time will be a little less hectic. We really enjoyed finishing the meal off with a limoncello. Thank you.

Our favourite Italian restaurant. We were delighted to note that it has recently reverted to the original management and the quality of the food has noticeably shot up. Last visit I started with tomato and mozzarella, which may sound rather basic but the flavours were fantastic. My main was Sea Bass which tasted really fresh and delicious, accompanied by fresh seasonal vegetables. Wines are reasonably priced, with the Pinot Grigio being perfectly acceptable. Service is great, albeit in a slightly frenetic way. Expect a lively atmosphere as it usually seems to be busy. Probably a good idea to book in advance.

Very clearly not enough staff on shift. Some of our drinks came and we had to ask twice for the remainder. We then ordered more drinks, but they didn't arrive. Our starters arrived within a reasonable time, but after waiting well over an hour for our main meals and still not having received our second drinks order, we had to ask several times before the meals and drinks eventually arrived. When they did, the pasta dish was cold, but by then we all had had enough and just wanted to finish and go. We were disappointed with the service and said so. The last few drinks were taken off our bill, but I won't be returning.

A very disappointing experience from a restaurant that is nowhere near as good as it used to be. We arrived at 7.30 on Saturday night and by 9.30 we had been served a single drink and a starter. While the Calamari and white wine were both quite good, our main courses, and the pasta dishes in particular, were extremely poor in comparison to many other Italian Restaurants in London. In addition we found it was almost impossible to get anyone’s attention for the whole evening and so had to wait for drinks, our food, and even to get the bill.

EDITED: thank you for your response. I agree you make lovely fresh food and the adult food was worth it. I have amended my score to reflect that. I did not see the itemised bill until we had left and got home. I would have raised issue with £10 for a small portion of plain pasta had I realised. If, as a parent, I choose not to add fruit juice and ice cream to my child’s dinner, then I would expect an option to pay for their main course and not a fixed kids menu. I would just like to know if you think it’s fair to charge £10 for a half portion of completely plain penne? ************************************ Lovely meal. Tasty food (albeit very slow from the kitchen) But totally ruined by them charging us £10 for a half portion of completely plain penne for our toddler. The adult pastas start at £10! My other son had a kids spaghetti with tomato. Also £10. So £20 for two small kids pastas. We spent a lot of money on the rest of our meal. Starters and main courses for the adults. So not like we were trying to feed us all on a shoestring. Spoilt it

I had my first dinner at Bucci last night while visiting our daughter, and thoroughly regretted not having discovered this little gem while still living in London. Service was nothing short of top, with Graziano taking super care of us with super charm, great sense of humor and good advice on food & wines. Being Italian we generally avoid Italian restaurants, but were glad to make an exception to celebrate my father in law b’day, and be treated to a high quality “home made” cuisine, like you only find in few “family run” restaurants. I went for Melanzane alla Parmigiana as appetizer, and two mains on a “share basis”, i.e. spicy shrimps and balsamic calamari. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection, generous portions, tasty and high quality ingredients. All of this was accompanied by a nice blend of white (Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes) recommended by Graziano, which again made everyone happy. Forgot to mention, I was finally prepared a nice and proper Negroni to begin the evening with, which again is easier said than done in most places in London. Thx again for treating us to a great evening of great food in a warm, friendly and joyful environment.

The restaurant was very busy when we had a table booked there. We placed our food and drinks order together. We received our starts before the drinks were even served. We waited patiently for our drinks but they never turned up. So after our starters we chased them up. They were very apologetic and gave our first drink for free, which was very nice of them. Our main course took along time to come out as they were so busy. Our food was very nice and the staff were friendly and very welcoming. We also had a limoncello at the end of the meal complimentary. Thank you for a lovely meal Bucci

It’s the sort of cliched trattoria every High Street should have except it seems stuck in the 1980s. Think rather naff seating that might be better placed in a garden; a vast menu of pizzas pastas but fewer fish and meat mains; waiters wandering around with giant pepper pots; sepia photographs of Italian scenes around the walls; slightly chaotic service. To fit the retro theme it seemed churlish not to start with a prawn cocktail served in a tall cocktail glass. Squid was a tad rubbery. Veal Milanese came with a rather perfunctory spaghetti Napoli in a bowl. Chicken risotto was perhaps the most successful dish. The noise level was almost unbearable. Then the lights went out and a birthday cake was taken to a table.

I don't know if it is a British thing but service in this country tends to be pretty poor... Until I came to Bucci. The staff were so friendly and professional, and the food... THE FOOD. I had a seasonal pasta dish with clams and my partner had a pizza and both were incredible, and very well priced. We also had the fried calamari as a starter and it was the first time in a while that I've had calamari that hadn't been fried to high heavens and turned to rubber. 11/10 restaurant, I could not recommend this place enough.

Food is truly outstanding , we always go for the frutti di mare for main and it has been beautiful every time. The calamari is a great go to starter or we tried the mussels on the seasonal menu which were very fresh, large and in a delicious sauce . Will definitely continue to keep visiting Bucci for the food, service and enjoyable authentic Italian atmosphere.

Try the calamari as a starter or a main. Perfectly presented. All the dishes are excellent, from pasta to fish to steak. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices, clean toilets (always a plus) and non-intrusive music. Great place for a treat or a celebration. Can't wait to return.

Never did I ever think I would give a bad review to Bucci Restaurant Balham but unfortunately I must, for the first time, write a less than glowing report. As background, my family and I have been going to Bucci since 1996. We have seen it go through ups and downs but have always been faithful to our local Italian. Following our bad experience on Saturday 4th February, I decided to go in person to speak with the manager before it was busy. Incidentally the manager was away for the weekend on that Saturday. explained we had ordered starters and main courses. Three people at the table received their main course and my pizza did not arrive. I politely inquired when it would be ready but was told there was a human error. In the meantime pizzas by the dozens were being served as well as take away. By the time I was served 20 minutes later, the three others in our party had nearly finished their main courses, which were not up to the usual high quality. I was given nothing but excuses ranging from it was human error, i.e., the chef in the kitchen didn't give the pizza chef the order to if they had tried to serve me with the other members of our party, there would have been a chain reaction and the other diners in the restaurant would not get their food on time. I inquired why they had paper napkins on the tables instead of the cloth ones and was told it was a matter of health and safety. When I asked why other restaurants in London had cloth napkins I was told they were not following health and safety. The same reason was given as the reason they no longer serve carafes of wine. The manager went on to add they were attracting plenty of people who were happy to pay and enjoy a 65 pound bottle of wine. I also asked why one of our favourite dishes had been removed from the menu and was told it would cost too much to keep on the menu and that I couldn't expect the restaurant to remain as I knew it first back in 1996. I never once received an apology just excuses.

Main was very nice (although don't have the mixed veg side.. it's one of those microwave packs..). Went early and quickly filled up, early on however we asked to change tables away from the mums and screaming children.

We had a birthday party for 21 people and Bucci were wonderful. The food was generous and tasty but best of all were the staff who were super friendly and made everyone's night.

We enjoyed very tasty meals here and the service was amazing. It wasn’t busy when we walked in but if that’s the case don’t let it put you off. We will definitely return.

Very tasty and delicious food, one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve tried in London. Staff also very friendly, but the service is a little bit slow, however, also understandable as it’s only 3 of them when the restaurant is fully packed. Would go back again when I’m next in the area 👍🏼

My first visit to Bucci, and I was very impressed. The staff are great - they are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious - I enjoyed the veal. Prices are reasonable, given the quality.

We headed here after the Art Fair in Battersea Park mainly driven by previous reviews and we weren't disappointed. The staff were brilliant from start to finish and all of our pizzas were authentic and delicious.

I went here in 2018 and they wouldn’t let me finish my immaculate rendition of ‘if it makes you happy’ at Karaoke, and it still haunts me to this day.

Esto ha cambiado recientemente de nombre a il Gusto. Lamentablemente ya no es bueno. En una visita reciente se esperaba una pizza y luego uno de los pedidos era incorrecto solo para que se lo quitaran y se proporcionara uno nuevo, y nuevamente equivocado. Hay mejores lugares en la calle principal.

Sorry, the food tasted really nice. It meant to be a good review. It got saved while I was typing and wasn't too sure how to change it.
