    Lobster tail mussels and shrimps
    Stephanie M.

    LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS PLACE! Wow The Food is amazing. It's A to go place the service is GREAT the food is fresh the Service is fast the Ambiance is cool. My Fiancé took me here and Im addicted. Buca the owner was very helpful I will be returning ASAP.

    Galoni S.

    Found this place on Tik tok and i was starving. I was thinking this is nothing crazy just a good plate of food. When I got there I saw a lot of people coming in and out so that was the first indicator that it was good food coming my way. The lady at the cash register was real nice and friendly , gave me recommendations on what to get, what sauces and etc. I ended up getting a platter with crab legs , shrimp, rice and steamed vegetables. All of this was absolutely delicious. It came out to $31 and it was worth every single penny. The quality + quantity + price = perfection and that is all we as eaters ask for. It seems like this place is already popular so I'm gonna hop on the hype train and spread the word . Definitely coming back.

    Tilapia, shrimp, scallops, potatoes and corn. All priced individually.
    Elyeette B.

    Foods good. Overpriced for sure due to having to set up your order for a plate combo at individual prices. Therefore the serving is dependent on how much you will budget. Service was okay. Ambiance is pretty much fish market feeling. Your well off calling in an order for pickup and eat it in your car.

    This is by far the best seafood spot around. Everything was fresh and delicious. Buca's hospitality was priceless. The ambiance made my sister and I stay longer than expected. Will visit again and again

    First time visiting this seafood spot . I honestly will only order steam seafood next time. I don't usually eat fry food , so for me it was definitely oily. Very small location and extremely busy . NOT GOOD FOR FAMILY TO SIT AND EAT. NO FOR KIDS TOO . Mostly take out . I recommend this place if you want some steamed seafood.

    Was craving seafood and I'm glad I came across this spot in Paterson. It was recommended by Yelp in my collections tab and boy am I happy I found this place. I created my platter starting with 3 fried shrimp, 1 fried lobster tail, corn on a cob and rice and veggies. I never tried fried lobster before but I did ask the gentlemen on the phone if it was worth trying and he said it's very good fried so I trusted his word and I'm glad I did, I literally devoured the lobster and shrimp. I ordered takeout and when I arrived to the place and drove back home which is about 10-15 min away the plate was still extremely hot . The portion size for rice and veggies can feed easily two people. I was disappointed because I wanted clams but they didn't have any so hopefully next time I order they will have some! Looking forward to coming back and trying their other items!

    Bucas will always be the best spot for seafood and food for over 15 years to me. flavor fresh and family, is how it's always been. Glad it's back!

    Red Snapper and steamed shrimp
    Lizzie M.

    First time and walked in and surprise on the fresh seafood display that you can choose from. The staff was helpful but did mess up our order. But the food made up for it. Ordered a red snapper deep fried, steamed shrimp, and hot and bbq wings. Left me wanting more since we were shorted food but will be back for me. New spot on PTown.

    Amazing food

    Buca's has a great selection of fresh seafood served just the way you desire.... My mother and I love going there.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ The food and, more specifically, seafood was AMAZINGLY fresh and delicious!!! ++++ Grilled Octopus appetizer with lemon garlic butter was to die for. Octopus was soooooooo tender and the restaurant's signature lemon garlic butter was a perfect compliment to it. ++++ Surf and Turf was, once again, PERFFFFFECT. Order came with a (hugeeee) 12 oz. ribeye and 10 oz. lobster tail. Both were as good as it gets anywhere. ++++ Branzino with rice and fries was excellent! The branzino was extremely bony, as you would expect, but the fish meat was sooooooo good. Rice was very flavorful and the fries were some of the crispiest I've EVER had. ++++ Mint Lemonade was absolutely refreshing. One of the best refresher drinks we've ever had anywhere. + Spacious and bright interior. Bright blue and white walls and floors make you feel like you're actually in the Mediterranean. + Parking lot is right outside of the restaurant and there are 8 spots in total, but it's on a steep slope that leads up to the restaurant entrance. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The waiter was very, verrrry nice, but, for some odd reason, the side of rice for the Branzino came out 30 minutes after the Branzino arrived on the table!!!! This is not an exaggeration. The waiter kept promising it was coming out soon, but it just took longer and longer and longer to arrive till I was already done with my entree. - The restaurant automatically added a service charge of 15% for just the 2 of us. Typically, you see this for large parties, NOT for parties of 2. With that said, we were a bit surprised it was only 15% though considering 18% seems like the minimum these days. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined here on an early Monday afternoon from 12:15 - 1:45 and only when we were leaving did another party finnnnaaaalllly come in. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves until then. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Bottom line, the food is spectacular here. I don't use that word lightly. Our meal here was as good as we've had in a longgg time.

    - Parking lot is conveniently located right out front, though it sits on an odd slope--head uphill…read moreto find the entrance - Spacious restaurant with beachy, seaside vibes, burning incense and Egyptian pop music in the background almost transports you to some place else - Refrigerated display case highlights an impressive selection of fresh seafood - Very quiet on a Monday at lunch--we were the only diners the entire time - Our waiter was very friendly, though service was a bit uneven--entrées arrived separately, and the side of rice didn't come until we were nearly finished - Still the food was AMAZING: Grilled Octopus is a must-order--tender, plump, and served in a sauce so good you'll want to dip your bread to soak up every last drop; Branzino was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection; Surf and Turf featured enormous portions of both land and sea, all seasoned very well; Mint Lemonade, served slushie-style, was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and incredibly refreshing - Automatic 15% gratuity and 3% fee if charging your credit card--gotta remember to bring cash next time! - Fun detail: the restroom (at least the ladies') is equipped with a bidet

The place was packed, and we were with a baby, but luckily got a table pretty quickly. The menu has great combo options where you can mix crab, shrimp, lobster, and more--all in one. TBH, that's the way to go instead of ordering everything separately. We ordered two Combo F along with shrimp fried rice and Cajun chicken fried rice. Combo F comes with Snow crab legs (1/2 lb), lobster tail, shrimp (1/2 lb), Potatoes (2 pc), Corn (1/2) Now comes the fun part... The seafood arrives in a plastic bag with your choice of sauce (Cajun, Garlic Butter, lemon pepper, Old Bay, Island style). They shake it all up, and then it's on you to dive in. You're given gloves, crackers, and tools to break open crab legs and lobster shells. Basically It's messy--but its beautiful mess ..lol I started off all proper with gloves and tools, but after some point, I ditched the gloves because it was just easier to enjoy the food that way. The Cajun sauce was absolutely delicious--rich, spicy, and full of flavor. I even ordered plain rice just to mix it with the leftover gravy... and wow, that was a amazing. Highly recommend trying that! Everything is essentially boiled seafood tossed in sauce, so don't expect anything grilled or crispy--it's all about the flavors and experience. The fried rice was tasty too, though the rice itself was a bit on the harder side. This isn't just a meal--it's an experience. Perfect for going out with friends, getting messy, and enjoying good seafood together.

If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

The home made…read moresalad dressings are phenomenal. the "Nonnas lasagna" was extremely burnt, so hard we could not cut it, it also lacked authentic flavor. The chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side were phenomenal! The Cesar salad was good but we did get served some browned romaine which i noticed half way through and couldn't finish eating it. I had the salmon and it has a fishy taste, it was also very small looked like 4-5oz. Although I asked for it well done, I did not expect it to be BURNT it was literally black like charred on the whole bottom and top. The wild rice/orzo chilled salad really lacked flavor and was quite the conundrum, I think this side should be improved or changed out completely. The roasted chicken with mashed potato's was excellent. Our server was very absent minded, although she circled and passed by she NEVER once stopped and checked in after serving the food to ask "how is everything?" so we didn't even get a chance to tell her about the burnt lasagna but fortunately the food runner and a different server did pass by us and checked on us ecause they saw us with our necks out looking for our server who had actually passed by us but didn't even look at us...I found it strange that for such a fine establishment the server had not been drained to check on the table 2-5 minutes after each course is served. We had a 3 course meal. A salad to start, followed by the chicken tacos and Nonna lasagna as a second appetizer, then our main dishes. Not once did she check on us after the food was served. I will return in a few months to see if there has been any improvement. The manager did take the lasagna off the bill after the busser brought the plate back. However the waitress never came or made any comments about it. She truly lacked hospitality, personality, and attention To details. I don't remember her name i don't think she Even provided it... the dessert menu also could be better being that there are other restaurants in the area with better dessert options. I think this place needs something good that makes it unique... maybe a story to tell by the server for first times guest or any suggestions etc.

Five plump, perfectly cooked shrimp are on a soft bun along with cucumber, arugula, grana padano cheese, and truffle sauce. This sandwich was divine! Truffle that you can actually taste, really elevated the flavor. This sandwich makes me want to try all of them. The coleslaw- which was a huge portion- was a perfect crispy, creamy side. Prices were very reasonable for the portion size and the quality. I cannot wait to go back for the lobster roll. Highly recommend
