My fiancé and I went to Il Buco and honestly, it was one of the best fine dining experiences we've…read morehad in Barrie. I had the seafood risotto, and it was absolutely incredible -- perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. The bruschetta was also perfect -- fresh, flavorful, and just the right start to the meal. The service was a little slow at times(refills/check if we were doing alright), and our table was on the smaller side, but the staff handled it well. The servers were quick to clear empty dishes, which made everything feel smooth and comfortable despite the space. Overall, a lovely experience from start to finish. Definitely one of Barrie's gems for fine dining -- we'll be back for sure!

To start, as you enter the place, the owner's wife greets you with a very friendly "Hello" you are then seated and offered the menu. We ordered Bruschetta for appetizer and I ordered the Veal Sandwich which was Incredible. My daughter had the Pizza and my wife the Fettuccine Alfredo. We ate and left very satisfied. I give this place 5 stars. I loved the people, the vibe, the low music which allowed us to converse, The food, the atmosphere, the pictures on the wall (they are authentic by the way, I asked) and everything about the experience. I hope they open a location in South Barrie. Until they do, This will be our go-to place for Italian restaurant with a friendly smile.

One of the popular restaurants at Friday Harbour. We made a reservation for 11 of us in advance but…read morewhen we arrived, the hostess informed us that there was no reservation made. Quite a rough start to our dining experience here, since it was confirmed over the phone from their staff previously. After some back and forth, I assume it was the manager, made it work for us, and we sat on their patio/ outdoor area. The restaurant indoor looked super cozy and cute! The staff here and service onwards was great so it really made up for the first hiccup when we entered. Food was good as well with some hit or misses: Burrata 5/5 - Came with proscuitto. Great starter with the creamy burrata and salty proscuitto. Caesar salad 4/5 - Nothing too special and can probably skip on this dish. But if you like caesar salads, this is a good palette opener. Rucola e Pera 4/5 - A good baby arugula salad with pear, toasted walnuts, parm and lemon vinaigrette. Frittura misa 5/5 - Can't go wrong with fried seafood. This came with calamari, black tiger shrimp and a lemon aioli. Perfectly cooked and quite delicious. Penne ala vodka 4/5 - Penne with rose sauce. It's a good dish but have had better in Toronto restaurants. Fettuccine ai funghi 5/5 - Creamy fettuccine sauce with wild mushrooms. Couldn't really taste the white truffle oil here but it's a good sharing dish since it's quite heavy. Funghi pizza 5/5 - Again, couldn't taste any truffle on this dish but was still good. Calabrese pizza 5/5 - Always a favourite pizza flavour. I asked for some honey on the side which really elevated this pizza for me. Linguine allo scoglio 5/5 - Nice, fresh seafood pieces and a great cherry tomato sauce. Special: rabbit 4/5 - Got adventurous and tried the rabbit dish. It tasted kind of like chicken and was pretty tender. Overall, a great dining experience if you're at Friday Harbour. Probably one of the better restaurants in the area.
