Birthday Celebration at Buca

This was our first time celebrating 2hung's bday as husband and wife.  It was hard to think of a restaurant to go to and we finally picked Buca.  Our friend Letty had been raving about this restaurant, so we had pretty high expectations.  We were late for our reservation by more than 15 minutes, so they had given our table away.  The restaurant wasn't super busy considering it was only 6pm, so they let us sit out in the patio area.  Despite the little mishap with the reservation, our waiter was quite good and very knowledgeable about the menu.  We ordered two starters, some bread knots and two pastas for our main along with dessert.  The food was amazing.  The pasta was al dente.  We were very impressed with the gnudi pasta which was made with pureed scallops and ricotta.  The dessert was divine as well.  The bread knots were definitely a good recommendation from the waiter.  We will definitely be back to this restaurant.  I find it a little difficult to get a reservation though, so remember to book ahead and don't mind the snobby host.
