Very good! Pasta was great with such big portions that most every other table was sharing but we…read morehad no idea. They bring out the pan that the pasta was cooked in. So good! My husband got a sandwich and it was great too and huge. Also a side of fries that taste just like McDonald's fries. We will be going back before we leave.

After completing our trek of the AV1, our group celebrated our last night in northern Italy at La…read moreBuca. We had walked by this pizzeria the night before and noted the line out the door, including locals, so we knew something was up. (We made reservations to secure a spot for the final night). Turned out we were not alone. As we were seated at the appointed time, we were thrilled to see the large table next to us was packed with a dozen people we had met on the trail (or in rifugios) along the way; The Canadian family, the tall Brit, the father & son from Singapore, "A" from New Zealand, the Dutch woman we hiked with on Day 3 and 5. They had all finished the trek the same day. Hugs and fist bumps ensued. Needless to say, it became a bit of a party at that point. The staff took a few group photos. The interior here: Sort of an upscale cafeteria vibe with some traditional Italian country decor touches, wood ceiling beams, and a few chandeliers. As for food: All pizzas were the same size - approximately 1 ft diameter. I don't remember my exact order. I recall mushrooms, arugula...perhaps some prosciutto. It was delicious. And of course we all shared slices, and ate way too much. And there was wine; so much wine. (Which may have impacted my memory ;-s). It was a fine ending to our Dolomites adventure.
