First thing I noticed is the sign says Greek Italian Restaurant or something. It's a little family-run neighborhood joint. I found that to be peculiar enough to draw me in. I ordered a gyro for lunch and ate at the bar next to someone claiming they have the best pizza in town. The gyro was fantastic with great meat, fresh produce, and fresh herbs that really made it seem fresh. Service wasn't the quickest, but that's cool....who wants to go back to work anyway. Went back for dinner with my wife, and got the gyro platter this time. It was good, but you have to assemble your gyro. It just wasn't the same. They've got some nice Greek beers as well. Wife really enjoyed it, although I was more blown away by the non-platter gyro variety. We got to talk to the owner I believe who seemed like a really nice guy. This place has been dead both times I've gone. (lunch and Friday evening) I'm not sure how they stay in business, but the food's good and well worth a stop.

I haven't dined in the restaurant recently, but we frequently get the Tuesday night pizza special ($7.99 for a large cheese pizza - take out only - which is a great deal and feeds our family of four with leftovers). The pizza is tasty....I prefer it over the delivery places in our area. I've had the chicken gyros in the past and thought they were delicious. So much so that while writing this review I think I might need to get one soon! Bummed about the negative reviews on this place. I've personally never had a negative experience at this place. That said, it sure seems mean to write a negative review about a restaurant because didn't like a note they left on your car when you parked in one of their designated spots....which has nothing to do with the food they serve....that should be the actual basis of your review.

Wow!!! Worst Greek food I have ever had, or seen for that matter. First off breaded chicken is not Greek!!! Then the Greek salad was ridiculous! They use regular iceberg lettuce cut a sliver of green pepper, two slivers of red onion, 3 olives and call it Greek. Plus it was $9 and it was barely bigger than a side salad. The orzo was burnt, and/or bland. I have to assume that any good review on here is for their Italian specialities because the Greek food was a complete joke.

I ordered through GrubHub. Wishing I had read the reviews first. Delivery time wasn't unreasonable. Probably 45 minutes from order to delivery. The calzone had far too much ricotta. Like it was just absolutely packed full of ricotta and had only a tiny bit of mozzarella and a tiny bit of vegetables. And the dough is super soggy. I couldn't eat it. The dolmades have no flavor at all. And the baklava is dry. I'm disappointed.

Went here because of "Nextdoor" negative review and the barrage of love and support that it released! So, needed to see for myself. The restaurant is clean and has a definite neighborhood feel to it. Service was impeccable, attentive, and prompt. I had a calzone and my husband had a gyro. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Had the tiramisu......okay, this was the best thing of all. IT WAS SIMPLY DIVINE! I will go back. I wasn't aware of the pizza deal on Tues and will probably try it. I've heard their pizza is tops. I visited with the owner Sandy and I do plan to stop in more often, I love s place where the owners and employees learn your name! It's a very Authentic feeling neighborhood place.

As seine said before I wish I read reviews first! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!! Ordered delivery and it never came. I called three times and the first time the order was on the way. 15 minutes later the driver should still be there with my food but Sandy was going to not charge me. The last time they were oh so busy and the order never left and was cancelled by Sandy. She then told me she thought I didn't want it!!!! I almost had no dinner due to being at work! Beyond irritated and if I had an option for zero stars, that's what I would have picked!

It's hard to find a local, non-corporate eatery with culture in south Denver, but a little searching revealed a treasure when we found Bucci's. The two of us shared a cucumber and tomato salad with a nicely seasoned vinaigrette before delving in to one of the best gyros I have ever laid my hands on. We were so impressed that we ordered a pizza with great crust, the right sauce (in amount and flavor), and very tasty sausage. The dining room was well decorated with mellow mood lighting and the staff was attentive but not too overbearing. Well done- we will definitely make another visit.

I was fully prepared just to go 2 stars here; however, the quality of the food turned this into a pretty good place to go. We called in our order for a regular Gyro & Fries and a Gyro Platter. When we got there, the place was dead, one guy at the bar and 1 other person waiting on an order. This being the case, I'm not exactly sure why the service was so slow. Granted the only had I think 2 people in the kitchen but business was slow enough that they should have been johnny on the spot with our orders. Second problem was that they messed up the order. Nothing major, just had too many Gyros in the bag, not that big of a deal. So we got our food and got back to the office. I was really surprised at the size of the Gyro, it was pretty big. The veggies were all pretty fresh, onions and lettuce nice and crisp and the meat was really tender and just right on the spiciness. The fries were also really good, kind of double wide crinkle cut fires is the only way i can really describe them. They were good after sitting in a bag for 15-20 so I can only imagine that they would be excellent if fresh. They also have a full bar. good selection of beer, OK selection of wine and about a 6 bottle selection of liquor. IMO, the food really does it here. For Greek at work, I'll definitely be back here and maybe I'll even be able to add a star or 2.

You will not be impressed by the decor, but the food will not disappoint you. We ordered the Gyro and a Greek salad. The Gyro was generous and was complimented nicely by the salad. All of the ingredients were fresh. The anchovy was a nice touch on the salad. I will definitely be back.

Since we have now been to Bucci two additional times within a week of our first visit, I am a five-star fan and felt my original Yelp review warranted an update. My husband could not stop thinking and raving about their Chicken Parmesan which he had and thoroughly enjoyed both times. I have now tried the Greek salad with Chicken (the small had PLENTY of chicken but was light on the salad part, of which I would have like more) and the veggie gyros. Both were filling, healthy, completely satisfying and simply DELICIOUS. We couldn't be more pleased to find this delightful, family-owned and run restaurant with some of the very best food we have ever had! We eat out a lot and have pretty discerning palates and pocketbooks. The fact that it is also reasonable and affordably priced with excellent, attentive, friendly service make Bucci our new favorite restaurant. Can't wait to return!

Cute little date night spot, but for a Greek salad that's much better quality for less money, try Pete's Kitchen or Pete's Greektown Cafe.

Cathy L.
WOO HOO and YUM!!! We are long time fans of Bucci's. The Greek salad is a huge portion and delicious. Gyros are quite large and the meat is done to perfection. The ambiance is not terrific (nothing fancy) but the food more than makes up for it. We've made fans out of several friends who also love the food. Service can be a bit slow but pleasant. No one hovering over you -which I like. Can't figure out their hours as they are not posted on the door.

I am puzzled by all of the positive reviews, because my husband and I found this place to be awful: the food, the service--everything. Okay, here are the details: When we walked in, despite several empty tables in the dining room, we were ignored for about 10 minutes. We were finally seated, but the chairs at our table were sopping wet (they had just been wiped down), so we awkwardly stood there in the middle of the dining room waiting for them to dry before sitting. When we were finally able to sit down, we noticed that they had neglected to bring us any menus. So, we awkwardly waited another 5 minutes for menus, when a very grumpy, stressed-out waitress slammed the menus and our table settings down at the edge of the table, with the expectation that we would arrange the table ourselves. Okay, now for the food: Everything we ordered did not taste good. The saganaki was a very thin, flavorless sliver of melted cheesy goo on a small plate. It had no flavor, no tanginess, and was delivered with a wane "opa!" by our grumpy waitress. I didn't think you could mess up saganaki, but apparently I was wrong. In addition, it was only about $0.25 worth of cheese, and nowhere near the $8.75 price tag. The eggplant rollatini had not been cooked properly, and the eggplant was chewy and tough--not the melt in your mouth rollatini that I was expecting. My husband's baked ziti was okay, but was overly seasoned with dried chalky herbs on top. The garlic bread was not made with butter or olive oil, but instead with corn oil/margarine that imparted an artificial flavor. The salad was limp, bagged salad mix with bottled salad dressing. When I eat out, I expect fresh ingredients--fresh herbs, real butter, fresh lettuce, home-made salad dressing, and not pre-made items coming from a bag, jar, or can, which is what we got. During our meal, nobody stopped to check on us, refill our water glasses, or remove our dirty dishes, which we ended up piling conspicuously at the edge of the table. During the few times we did interact with our waitress, she was surly, and made it clear that she was angry, stressed out, and resented our presence. All of these factors made for a very tense, unpleasant meal, that was not even worth the Groupon that brought us in. I would rather stay home and eat a PB&J in a pleasant environment than eat a poorly prepared meal in an environment where I am made to feel like an imposition. Despite the fact that we live nearby, we will definitely not be back.

Called in to order a large 12" sandwich. When I went to pick it up the lady informed it was a "large" sandwich which would fill me up even though it was only 6". Very misleading and falsely advertised.

Its alright. I am not sure if all the food was made in house or came out of cans. Even I can buy pita bread, warm it up and serve it with home made humus and some salad. Gyro tasted good. Its okay place....

To be completely honest with you I want to call this a three star place. It's not because it isn't good, it really is...but staffing is inconsistent and that can make your experience swing between two and four stars. We have a (now) three* star affection for this little neighborhood gem though! They have a grinder sandwich that's amazing and their gyro is good. (Though my favorite gyro is still Pete's Kitchen). I want them to do well, I want you to go there, just know there's some risk you might come away underwhelmed. *two subsequent trips really left us frustrated with poor service. Food still good, but still...

I went to this restaurant since I had a coupon for it. Per another reviewer's comment the service was not bad but inconsistent. I ordered the Large portion of Eggplant Gyros Platter which was anything but Large. The sides were miniscule and the orzo looked old. I must say that my kids' regular meat Gyrops would have been a much better choice. Hopefully the owners will take note of these reviews and improve the quality.

I'm from Chicago, and this is the only gyro in Denver that rivals the ones back home. When I was working down in that area, I was in that place at least once a week for dinner. The owners are good people too.

The Greek salad with Gyros was very good. The garlic knots were just good, a little less than I hoped for & no Balsamic vinegar didn't help my mood on that. The service was great, staff was very friendly.

I've ordered several times from this place through grub hub and I have to say the first time I ordered pasta. That was a bad mistake. It was bland and did not taste very good. I am not sure about the pizza but I have to stick with what is really good. Their Greek foods are great!!! I love their gyros and the platter. We order their hot subs which are just as tasty!!! Their baklava is delicious I just wish they were a bit bigger for the price but over all it is good!!! Their delivery is always fast and the food hot. Keep up the good work!!

Ordered delivery and paid for it. 1 1/2 hours later, it still hadn't come, so I called them. They told me they were busy and refused to give me a status of my order and refused to refund my money. The food never came and I have to dispute the charge with my bank to get it back. This place is terrible.

Love this place for lunch. Always get the feta cheese gyros! Amazing. My sons enjoy the pizza (dough is light and yummy). I like to support family owned places with great food. Authentic Greek entrees are hard to find in dinner. No fancy decor. Quiet. Family run. Good service. Good food.

You know when you walk into a place and the other diners are not looking too happy, it's a bad sign! Well the looks on their faces said it all....my only regret was that I didn't turn around and run for the hills! This is the worst kind of Italian food I've EVER had the displeasure of eating. The service was bad...the food was cold, and it was an all around unhappy dinning experience. Once again I tried to look for great restaurants near our home and it was a disappointment!

3 stars is about right for the popular Gyro. Restaurant seemed dark and the garlic knots could be better.

I ordered delivery and it was prompt, that being said this is when the good comments stop. The driver was anything but friendly. I don't think he said a single word to me other than "here." He had a look on his face like he wanted to throw a spear through my abdominal region. My Gyro was cold, all of it. I know lettuce onions and tomatoes are meant to be cold but the meat is not. My baklava was also crushed. The tale continues after dessert. I woke up multiple times throughout the night to vomit. Food poisoning hits hard. I was unable to work the next day. I am very disappointed in not only the customer service but the quality/safeness of the food.

I get the greek Sampler and LOVE IT! SO much food I can't finish it all. I get alittle of everything. I take friends here all the time and visit at least once a month. Love their tiropita and spanakopita. There are so few places to get it this good.

Kelly T.
Ordered delivery from this place last night for the first time, and what a huge disappointment. The spanakopita was dry and bland. The hummus was also bland and lacked seasoning/flavor, and at $12.25 it was a total rip off! The tatziki was watery and too heavy on the mint. It was also bland. For TWO of us (gyro platter, spanikopita, tiny salad, hummus, and a little extra feta and olives) the total bill came to $60 DOLLARS AND IT TO 90 MINUTES TO GET OUR DELIVERY. WHAT A JOKE!!!

I totally agree with the review of Susann T. of Littleton, CO. We dined here for the first time using a Google Offers coupon. When we arrived, there were 2 doors. There was a Greek door and an Italian/Pizza door. My husband opened the door to the left and that's when we should have walked away. I had made a reservation on Open Table, but apparently we didn't need it. We were the only ones there. There were 2 servers were putting up holiday decorations in the front window. The server kept on doing what he was doing and told us to seat ourselves. We ordered the Spanikopita and the Pastitio which both came with soup or salad. We should have know that these 2 particular dishes were not freshly made like pasta or pizza. The Lemon Chicken Soup was watery and the chicken was cubed rather than shredded. The server was not able to pronounce Avgolemono. The soup was steaming hot which was good. The lettuce on the salad was shredded. There was one ring of bell pepper, a piece of old roma tomato, and 4 rings of red onion. The dressing was in a plastic cup with the lid still on marked R for ranch. The entrees came while we were still eating our soup and salad. They came out fairly fast. The entrees were blah looking. No garnish, no color (See posted photos). It looked like the cook just threw everything on the plate without any thought. The Spanikopita was an individual triangle and a little dry. It had freezer burn. There was about 2 tablespoons of dry looking orzo rice on the plate, which I did not eat. The pita bread was warm and the best thing on the plate. The tzatziki sauce was watery and tastless. The Pastitio was a 2x2 inch serving and was dryed out. My husband couldn't even cut a piece of pasta with his fork. There was about 3 tablespoons of orzo rice and warm pita on the plate. No tzatziki sauce. This was only the second time I have given a restaurant one star. By the time we left, there were 3 other parties,

I've eaten here a few times over the last couple of years, because I really, really wanted to like this place. It's locally owned, classic hole in the wall location and offers a food genre that's not widely available down South. But, it's just so MEH- thus two stars. All of their Greek offerings seem frozen and/or premade/reheated, and pretty far from authentic. We've done their pizza once for takeout and it was a huge disappointment. I really feel like restaurants should do one thing, and do it well- Bucci's needs to choose Greek or Italian and I feel like they have a running start to go all Greek. Their pricing is reasonable; though their wine selection is pretty poor and served in tiny glasses. Their service usually pretty good. The decor is a little forced, but at least it's fairly clean in there. At the end of the day, you won't hate eating here, but it's far from craveable and leaves a lot to be desired. As a small business, I do wish them much luck, and if they ever upgrade their menu, I'd be willing to try it again. Until then, no thanks.

First time here. This is that tiny place that only the neighborhood knows about. 15 tables. Everybody seems to know everybody.

I love this place! Great food and great staff. The gyros are delicious and have a lot of food. The garlic knots are scrumptious and the pizza by the slice is perfect for on the go. They have sandwiches that are toasted and you can order them on their home made focacia bread. So good!

Ordered pizza for delivery last night. We live only a mile or so away. Delivery was reasonably prompt, and the pizza was (just) within acceptable temp. We online ordered two custom pizzas, starting with the cheese and the white bases and adding ingredients from there. The ingredient list was reasonable. The overall pizza quality and flavor was okay, but unexciting. The tomato sauce was bland. The sausage was sliced vs ground, which was nice, and not very fatty, but nothing specifically to write home about. We don't order in pizza all that often. I would order from them again, but I'd shop around first.

Stopped in here for some take home gyros on Saturday. A friend told me it was the best gyro her husband had ever had so of course we had to see if we agreed! Over all, the gyros were pretty good and I liked that I could really taste the lamb. However, I did feel like the meat was a bit dry. I was glad it had lots of sauce- it was definitely a messy meal. The pita was delicious. I did notice that they make homemade foccacia and other breads and that always impresses me. We also had the greek salads and those were good. The kalamata olives were not pitted so I definitely liked that. They did not seem to skimp on the ingredients involved. Not sure if we'll come back- may have to try out a few other places first.

Nicole S.
The Greek sampler deluxe did not disappoint! The portions were huge with large helpings of hummus, pita, kalamata olives, tzatziki sauce, feta, dolmades, spanikopita, tiropita, and Greek salad. The spanikopita and tiropita were especially tasty--crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. The food arrived quickly after we ordered and tasted fresh. That, combined with the intimate setting and attentive service, made for a fulfilling dining experience.

We ordered take-out. Overall, two thumbs down. Food is mediocre and over-priced, not to mention minimal portions. My finance ordered the 18-inch Gyros Pizza, which looked like a small. No, he didn't like it. I had a large garden salad with (warm extra) chicken. Terrible. The chicken was cold, and they do not understand what "extra" means. The amount of chicken on my salad was equal to 1/3 of a chicken breast, and they charged me additional for the "extra" chicken. Paying $36.70 (excluding tax) for tasteless, skimpy food was ridiculous. Too many restaurants offer both quality and quantity. This DOES NOT make the list.

Rob B.
This place is an odd restaurant. They do have great Gyros. But the staff are not friendly. They are just there. They are quick to argue when you are checking the price on the tab as well. What I find strange is their prices seem to vary for the same food items. I've been here maybe 6 times. Hoping things would be better, but really they just are what they are. It may be a cool place to try when the living social or groupon deal comes out, but they are kind of picky on what you can use it for. I would not really recommend it, but if you are just looking for a great Gyro and not worried about the service, then they do have really good gyro's.

Bucci's has all the ambiance of a 1980's Pizza Hut. From the laminate tables to the metal-rimmed chairs, this is a throwback to bygone era of family restaurants. For me, this is part of the charm as it evokes road trips with my parents through small towns where my dad was always very good at ferreting out great local eateries. Since he's the one that recommended we head here on Christmas Eve, this ability has clearly not gone away. (Please picture 5 of us showing up in our Christmas Mass best--suits and dresses--it was quite comical.) But let's get to the food. My husband and I shared a gyro plate and a Greek sampler, and both were delicious. The gyro meat in particular was incredibly well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. The pitas were fresh and warm, and all the of classic Greek sides like spanikopita were delightful. We ate way too much, which is a sign that we really enjoyed ourselves. The biggest drawback to this place was the service--they weren't very busy but everything was very slow. Maybe this was because it was Christmas Eve, but it may have been a little annoying if we weren't all in the holiday spirit. All in all, a great little local spot and I'd definitely go back!

WOW! Awesome food and service. We had the ravioli and the sauce was so delicious I could have just had a bowl of it. Lots of flavor and the sausage in the ravioli was spicy and tasty. We also had the gyro and it was one of the best I've ever had. We will be back and we will become regulars. We'll have to up our workouts because of it, but well worth an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill!

I decided to try Bucci's because I am trying to experience new foods. I'm not an avid Greek food eater, but I have been wanting to try it. Groupon had an offer for Bucci's so I thought I would give it a try. I would get a great deal and the chance to try new foods. Score. It wasn't very busy when I went, but there were a few people in there. The decor makes it cozy and gives the restaurant a nice setting. We were told to sit where ever. Although most of the tables seemed to say reserved. I had already picked out what I wanted by viewing their menu on their website. I love being able to do that. That way I have an idea of what I want before I get there. I ordered the Greek Sampler Deluxe so I could try various items in this one visit. The food was pretty good. I rather enjoyed the tzatziki, it was delicious. For dessert I ordered the Baklava. It was also pretty fantastic. I think the one thing that threw everything off was the disco music they were playing. It just honestly didn't fit the feel of a Greek/Italian restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and did a great job. I would love to go back and try some of their other dishes.

We meet our friend for dinner there a few weeks ago, very good food, and a nice "non corporate " feel. Our waitress was nice and the prices are reasonable. Tried the desert and the connolly reminded me the the Jersey shore. Will stop in again the next time we want Italian and Greek food!

We have friends that are old fans of this place and now we are converts. Great place, simple atmosphere, and really yummy food. The service was polite, even though we were the only people left in the place on a snowy night! Going back again.

In my book Bucci's serves some of the best Gyros anywhere. Sandy the owner is amazing and always friendly. My wife is a picky eater and they always accommodate her requests to add or delete ingredients from the regular menu items. We go mainly for the Greek food, but have occasionally tried the Italian dishes and they are also top notch. On Tuesday you can get a 18" cheese pizza for just $7.99.

Laura L.
I found one of their coupons in the Val-U-Ads mailer and decided to give it a whirl. My boyfriend and I dragged our two authentic Greek friends with us to make sure the place was legit. And, although the atmosphere looked like a pizza parlor, the food was awesome! The owners (a husband a wife team) made sure to chat with us and make us feel welcomed. The four of us decided to order two Greek Sampler Deluxes, a Gyros Platter and an Eggplant Platter and just share all the food. The dolmades and spanakopita were phenomenal. We all ate to our hearts' content, and then somehow made room for baklava. The food was heavenly, and the prices were modest for the amount and quality of the food provided. I definitely would recommend trying them for some homemade Greek cuisine.

I also am baffled by the rave reviews. My husband and I ate at Bucci's for dinner. We have been looking diligently for a Greek restaurant and we were so hoping that this was the one but, this was not to be the case. Others were correct in describing the decor as vintage 1980's Pizza Hut. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted because the restaurant was mostly empty. So we seated ourselves and someone came over and put the silverware, napkins and menus in a pile. I guess it's also set your own table too. The waitress was pleasant enough she took our drink order and left us to figure out our order. She came back fairly promptly and was ready to take our order. My husband ordered pastitsio, and a cup of chicken lemon soup. I ordered the gyro plate, a cup of chicken lemon soup, and the dinner came with a tomato and cucumber salad. Let's start with my dinner. The soup was not fully cooked. The rice was hard and crunchy, the soup was so very watery. Both my husband and I sent it back because it was terrible. Then my salad came. The tomatoes and cucumbers were old and spongy. The salad was overdressed with Italian dressing. My guess was it was to hide the bad vegetables. My entree came. I have had gyro plates all over the world. I expected a thinly sliced pile of gyro meat a pile of tomatoes some tzatziki sauce and a pita cut into smaller triangles. I always ask them to hold the onion and give me more tomato. But to my surprize I received a pita with lettuce, cucumber, 2 slices of tomato, chunked pieces of dry gyro meat soaked in a sauce that didn't taste like any tzatziki sauce I had ever tasted in my life. The entire thing was terrible and I was so disappointed. I also got a tablespoon of overcooked cold dry orzo rice. Do you think they could spare it? Then there was my husband's meal of Pastitsio, orzo rice, and salad. The salad that the waitress brought him to replace the undercooked soup was limp, and looked as if it came out of a bag. So he didn't eat it. Then there was the Pastitsio, this was dry, over cooked and tasted more like lasagna than Pastitsio. The meat sauce was marinara based instead of usi g the traditional spices for Pastitsio. We still aren't sure what was in the custard on the top but it had a very strange consistency. The whole thing was dry and over cooked. His orzo was also over cooked and cold he was also given about a tablespoon full. I gave Bucci's one star only because I couldn't give them any less. I wrote a review on this restaurant in hopes that I could save someone else from having such a bad experience. After this meal we stopped on the way home to get something to eat because I was so hungry.

OK, this is awkward. After our first visit a few weeks ago, I gave the Greek food a glowing review. We went back to try some Italian dishes and were less impressed. Our 12-year-old tried a personal-size cheese pizza and also didn't love it. We WILL go back, but we'll stick to the Greek side of the menu.

This place is scary. It looks like they haven't had a real customer in months. I got take out and ended up throwing it away. Gross and a waste of money.

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt.

Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

First thing I noticed is the sign says Greek Italian Restaurant or something. It's a little family-run neighborhood joint. I found that to be peculiar enough to draw me in. I ordered a gyro for lunch and ate at the bar next to someone claiming they have the best pizza in town. The gyro was fantastic with great meat, fresh produce, and fresh herbs that really made it seem fresh. Service wasn't the quickest, but that's cool....who wants to go back to work anyway. Went back for dinner with my wife, and got the gyro platter this time. It was good, but you have to assemble your gyro. It just wasn't the same. They've got some nice Greek beers as well. Wife really enjoyed it, although I was more blown away by the non-platter gyro variety. We got to talk to the owner I believe who seemed like a really nice guy. This place has been dead both times I've gone. (lunch and Friday evening) I'm not sure how they stay in business, but the food's good and well worth a stop.

I haven't dined in the restaurant recently, but we frequently get the Tuesday night pizza special ($7.99 for a large cheese pizza - take out only - which is a great deal and feeds our family of four with leftovers). The pizza is tasty....I prefer it over the delivery places in our area. I've had the chicken gyros in the past and thought they were delicious. So much so that while writing this review I think I might need to get one soon! Bummed about the negative reviews on this place. I've personally never had a negative experience at this place. That said, it sure seems mean to write a negative review about a restaurant because didn't like a note they left on your car when you parked in one of their designated spots....which has nothing to do with the food they serve....that should be the actual basis of your review.

Wow!!! Worst Greek food I have ever had, or seen for that matter. First off breaded chicken is not Greek!!! Then the Greek salad was ridiculous! They use regular iceberg lettuce cut a sliver of green pepper, two slivers of red onion, 3 olives and call it Greek. Plus it was $9 and it was barely bigger than a side salad. The orzo was burnt, and/or bland. I have to assume that any good review on here is for their Italian specialities because the Greek food was a complete joke.

I ordered through GrubHub. Wishing I had read the reviews first. Delivery time wasn't unreasonable. Probably 45 minutes from order to delivery. The calzone had far too much ricotta. Like it was just absolutely packed full of ricotta and had only a tiny bit of mozzarella and a tiny bit of vegetables. And the dough is super soggy. I couldn't eat it. The dolmades have no flavor at all. And the baklava is dry. I'm disappointed.
(1)Redd G.
Went here because of "Nextdoor" negative review and the barrage of love and support that it released! So, needed to see for myself. The restaurant is clean and has a definite neighborhood feel to it. Service was impeccable, attentive, and prompt. I had a calzone and my husband had a gyro. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Had the tiramisu......okay, this was the best thing of all. IT WAS SIMPLY DIVINE! I will go back. I wasn't aware of the pizza deal on Tues and will probably try it. I've heard their pizza is tops. I visited with the owner Sandy and I do plan to stop in more often, I love s place where the owners and employees learn your name! It's a very Authentic feeling neighborhood place.
(4)Samantha G.
As seine said before I wish I read reviews first! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!! Ordered delivery and it never came. I called three times and the first time the order was on the way. 15 minutes later the driver should still be there with my food but Sandy was going to not charge me. The last time they were oh so busy and the order never left and was cancelled by Sandy. She then told me she thought I didn't want it!!!! I almost had no dinner due to being at work! Beyond irritated and if I had an option for zero stars, that's what I would have picked!

It's hard to find a local, non-corporate eatery with culture in south Denver, but a little searching revealed a treasure when we found Bucci's. The two of us shared a cucumber and tomato salad with a nicely seasoned vinaigrette before delving in to one of the best gyros I have ever laid my hands on. We were so impressed that we ordered a pizza with great crust, the right sauce (in amount and flavor), and very tasty sausage. The dining room was well decorated with mellow mood lighting and the staff was attentive but not too overbearing. Well done- we will definitely make another visit.
(4)Robert S.
I was fully prepared just to go 2 stars here; however, the quality of the food turned this into a pretty good place to go. We called in our order for a regular Gyro & Fries and a Gyro Platter. When we got there, the place was dead, one guy at the bar and 1 other person waiting on an order. This being the case, I'm not exactly sure why the service was so slow. Granted the only had I think 2 people in the kitchen but business was slow enough that they should have been johnny on the spot with our orders. Second problem was that they messed up the order. Nothing major, just had too many Gyros in the bag, not that big of a deal. So we got our food and got back to the office. I was really surprised at the size of the Gyro, it was pretty big. The veggies were all pretty fresh, onions and lettuce nice and crisp and the meat was really tender and just right on the spiciness. The fries were also really good, kind of double wide crinkle cut fires is the only way i can really describe them. They were good after sitting in a bag for 15-20 so I can only imagine that they would be excellent if fresh. They also have a full bar. good selection of beer, OK selection of wine and about a 6 bottle selection of liquor. IMO, the food really does it here. For Greek at work, I'll definitely be back here and maybe I'll even be able to add a star or 2.
(3)Christina G.
You will not be impressed by the decor, but the food will not disappoint you. We ordered the Gyro and a Greek salad. The Gyro was generous and was complimented nicely by the salad. All of the ingredients were fresh. The anchovy was a nice touch on the salad. I will definitely be back.

Since we have now been to Bucci two additional times within a week of our first visit, I am a five-star fan and felt my original Yelp review warranted an update. My husband could not stop thinking and raving about their Chicken Parmesan which he had and thoroughly enjoyed both times. I have now tried the Greek salad with Chicken (the small had PLENTY of chicken but was light on the salad part, of which I would have like more) and the veggie gyros. Both were filling, healthy, completely satisfying and simply DELICIOUS. We couldn't be more pleased to find this delightful, family-owned and run restaurant with some of the very best food we have ever had! We eat out a lot and have pretty discerning palates and pocketbooks. The fact that it is also reasonable and affordably priced with excellent, attentive, friendly service make Bucci our new favorite restaurant. Can't wait to return!
(5)Catherine B.
Cute little date night spot, but for a Greek salad that's much better quality for less money, try Pete's Kitchen or Pete's Greektown Cafe.
(3)Cathy L.
WOO HOO and YUM!!! We are long time fans of Bucci's. The Greek salad is a huge portion and delicious. Gyros are quite large and the meat is done to perfection. The ambiance is not terrific (nothing fancy) but the food more than makes up for it. We've made fans out of several friends who also love the food. Service can be a bit slow but pleasant. No one hovering over you -which I like. Can't figure out their hours as they are not posted on the door.

I am puzzled by all of the positive reviews, because my husband and I found this place to be awful: the food, the service--everything. Okay, here are the details: When we walked in, despite several empty tables in the dining room, we were ignored for about 10 minutes. We were finally seated, but the chairs at our table were sopping wet (they had just been wiped down), so we awkwardly stood there in the middle of the dining room waiting for them to dry before sitting. When we were finally able to sit down, we noticed that they had neglected to bring us any menus. So, we awkwardly waited another 5 minutes for menus, when a very grumpy, stressed-out waitress slammed the menus and our table settings down at the edge of the table, with the expectation that we would arrange the table ourselves. Okay, now for the food: Everything we ordered did not taste good. The saganaki was a very thin, flavorless sliver of melted cheesy goo on a small plate. It had no flavor, no tanginess, and was delivered with a wane "opa!" by our grumpy waitress. I didn't think you could mess up saganaki, but apparently I was wrong. In addition, it was only about $0.25 worth of cheese, and nowhere near the $8.75 price tag. The eggplant rollatini had not been cooked properly, and the eggplant was chewy and tough--not the melt in your mouth rollatini that I was expecting. My husband's baked ziti was okay, but was overly seasoned with dried chalky herbs on top. The garlic bread was not made with butter or olive oil, but instead with corn oil/margarine that imparted an artificial flavor. The salad was limp, bagged salad mix with bottled salad dressing. When I eat out, I expect fresh ingredients--fresh herbs, real butter, fresh lettuce, home-made salad dressing, and not pre-made items coming from a bag, jar, or can, which is what we got. During our meal, nobody stopped to check on us, refill our water glasses, or remove our dirty dishes, which we ended up piling conspicuously at the edge of the table. During the few times we did interact with our waitress, she was surly, and made it clear that she was angry, stressed out, and resented our presence. All of these factors made for a very tense, unpleasant meal, that was not even worth the Groupon that brought us in. I would rather stay home and eat a PB&J in a pleasant environment than eat a poorly prepared meal in an environment where I am made to feel like an imposition. Despite the fact that we live nearby, we will definitely not be back.

Called in to order a large 12" sandwich. When I went to pick it up the lady informed it was a "large" sandwich which would fill me up even though it was only 6". Very misleading and falsely advertised.
(1)S P.
Its alright. I am not sure if all the food was made in house or came out of cans. Even I can buy pita bread, warm it up and serve it with home made humus and some salad. Gyro tasted good. Its okay place....
(3)Shane M.
To be completely honest with you I want to call this a three star place. It's not because it isn't good, it really is...but staffing is inconsistent and that can make your experience swing between two and four stars. We have a (now) three* star affection for this little neighborhood gem though! They have a grinder sandwich that's amazing and their gyro is good. (Though my favorite gyro is still Pete's Kitchen). I want them to do well, I want you to go there, just know there's some risk you might come away underwhelmed. *two subsequent trips really left us frustrated with poor service. Food still good, but still...
(2)Ali I.
I went to this restaurant since I had a coupon for it. Per another reviewer's comment the service was not bad but inconsistent. I ordered the Large portion of Eggplant Gyros Platter which was anything but Large. The sides were miniscule and the orzo looked old. I must say that my kids' regular meat Gyrops would have been a much better choice. Hopefully the owners will take note of these reviews and improve the quality.
(2)Aaron W.
I'm from Chicago, and this is the only gyro in Denver that rivals the ones back home. When I was working down in that area, I was in that place at least once a week for dinner. The owners are good people too.
(5)Philip C.
The Greek salad with Gyros was very good. The garlic knots were just good, a little less than I hoped for & no Balsamic vinegar didn't help my mood on that. The service was great, staff was very friendly.
(4)Mary O.
I've ordered several times from this place through grub hub and I have to say the first time I ordered pasta. That was a bad mistake. It was bland and did not taste very good. I am not sure about the pizza but I have to stick with what is really good. Their Greek foods are great!!! I love their gyros and the platter. We order their hot subs which are just as tasty!!! Their baklava is delicious I just wish they were a bit bigger for the price but over all it is good!!! Their delivery is always fast and the food hot. Keep up the good work!!
(5)Vanessa P.
Yikes...not good. Surprised they are still open. Ambiance was like somethinh from 1972. Food was poor to average and was a bad experience overall. There are too many good places in the area to waste your time here.
(1)Christine A.
Ordered delivery and paid for it. 1 1/2 hours later, it still hadn't come, so I called them. They told me they were busy and refused to give me a status of my order and refused to refund my money. The food never came and I have to dispute the charge with my bank to get it back. This place is terrible.
(1)Robert C.
Love this place for lunch. Always get the feta cheese gyros! Amazing. My sons enjoy the pizza (dough is light and yummy). I like to support family owned places with great food. Authentic Greek entrees are hard to find in dinner. No fancy decor. Quiet. Family run. Good service. Good food.
(3)Cristeen J.
You know when you walk into a place and the other diners are not looking too happy, it's a bad sign! Well the looks on their faces said it all....my only regret was that I didn't turn around and run for the hills! This is the worst kind of Italian food I've EVER had the displeasure of eating. The service was bad...the food was cold, and it was an all around unhappy dinning experience. Once again I tried to look for great restaurants near our home and it was a disappointment!
(1)Joe Y.
3 stars is about right for the popular Gyro. Restaurant seemed dark and the garlic knots could be better.
(3)Jeffrey K.
I ordered delivery and it was prompt, that being said this is when the good comments stop. The driver was anything but friendly. I don't think he said a single word to me other than "here." He had a look on his face like he wanted to throw a spear through my abdominal region. My Gyro was cold, all of it. I know lettuce onions and tomatoes are meant to be cold but the meat is not. My baklava was also crushed. The tale continues after dessert. I woke up multiple times throughout the night to vomit. Food poisoning hits hard. I was unable to work the next day. I am very disappointed in not only the customer service but the quality/safeness of the food.
(1)Anne B.
I get the greek Sampler and LOVE IT! SO much food I can't finish it all. I get alittle of everything. I take friends here all the time and visit at least once a month. Love their tiropita and spanakopita. There are so few places to get it this good.
(4)Kelly T.
Ordered delivery from this place last night for the first time, and what a huge disappointment. The spanakopita was dry and bland. The hummus was also bland and lacked seasoning/flavor, and at $12.25 it was a total rip off! The tatziki was watery and too heavy on the mint. It was also bland. For TWO of us (gyro platter, spanikopita, tiny salad, hummus, and a little extra feta and olives) the total bill came to $60 DOLLARS AND IT TO 90 MINUTES TO GET OUR DELIVERY. WHAT A JOKE!!!
(2)Kelly G.
I totally agree with the review of Susann T. of Littleton, CO. We dined here for the first time using a Google Offers coupon. When we arrived, there were 2 doors. There was a Greek door and an Italian/Pizza door. My husband opened the door to the left and that's when we should have walked away. I had made a reservation on Open Table, but apparently we didn't need it. We were the only ones there. There were 2 servers were putting up holiday decorations in the front window. The server kept on doing what he was doing and told us to seat ourselves. We ordered the Spanikopita and the Pastitio which both came with soup or salad. We should have know that these 2 particular dishes were not freshly made like pasta or pizza. The Lemon Chicken Soup was watery and the chicken was cubed rather than shredded. The server was not able to pronounce Avgolemono. The soup was steaming hot which was good. The lettuce on the salad was shredded. There was one ring of bell pepper, a piece of old roma tomato, and 4 rings of red onion. The dressing was in a plastic cup with the lid still on marked R for ranch. The entrees came while we were still eating our soup and salad. They came out fairly fast. The entrees were blah looking. No garnish, no color (See posted photos). It looked like the cook just threw everything on the plate without any thought. The Spanikopita was an individual triangle and a little dry. It had freezer burn. There was about 2 tablespoons of dry looking orzo rice on the plate, which I did not eat. The pita bread was warm and the best thing on the plate. The tzatziki sauce was watery and tastless. The Pastitio was a 2x2 inch serving and was dryed out. My husband couldn't even cut a piece of pasta with his fork. There was about 3 tablespoons of orzo rice and warm pita on the plate. No tzatziki sauce. This was only the second time I have given a restaurant one star. By the time we left, there were 3 other parties,
(1)Jessica T.
I've eaten here a few times over the last couple of years, because I really, really wanted to like this place. It's locally owned, classic hole in the wall location and offers a food genre that's not widely available down South. But, it's just so MEH- thus two stars. All of their Greek offerings seem frozen and/or premade/reheated, and pretty far from authentic. We've done their pizza once for takeout and it was a huge disappointment. I really feel like restaurants should do one thing, and do it well- Bucci's needs to choose Greek or Italian and I feel like they have a running start to go all Greek. Their pricing is reasonable; though their wine selection is pretty poor and served in tiny glasses. Their service usually pretty good. The decor is a little forced, but at least it's fairly clean in there. At the end of the day, you won't hate eating here, but it's far from craveable and leaves a lot to be desired. As a small business, I do wish them much luck, and if they ever upgrade their menu, I'd be willing to try it again. Until then, no thanks.
(2)Ellie B.
I ordered take out for the office staff and had a wonderful experience. Great service, very friendly and fast. Food was delicious. The website could use some more details in "About Us" but otherwise we were all very pleased. We will definitely be back!
(4)Rick R.
First time here. This is that tiny place that only the neighborhood knows about. 15 tables. Everybody seems to know everybody. I ordered something recommended on the Italian side with eggplant, spinach, and artichoke hearts. Friggin AMAZING! Dora had a Gyro as big as your head. We'll definitely be back!
(5)Amanda D.
The gyro was too messy huge chunks of lettuce and tomato, and way too much feta!!!!! The white pizza was good. Won't be back unless in neighborhood and wanting a slice.
(3)Rene L.
I love this place! Great food and great staff. The gyros are delicious and have a lot of food. The garlic knots are scrumptious and the pizza by the slice is perfect for on the go. They have sandwiches that are toasted and you can order them on their home made focacia bread. So good!
(5)Dave H.
Ordered pizza for delivery last night. We live only a mile or so away. Delivery was reasonably prompt, and the pizza was (just) within acceptable temp. We online ordered two custom pizzas, starting with the cheese and the white bases and adding ingredients from there. The ingredient list was reasonable. The overall pizza quality and flavor was okay, but unexciting. The tomato sauce was bland. The sausage was sliced vs ground, which was nice, and not very fatty, but nothing specifically to write home about. We don't order in pizza all that often. I would order from them again, but I'd shop around first.
(3)Jill W.
We ordered food for delivery. The quality of food was average and the time it took to deliver was too long. We were looking forward to something phenomenal based on other reviews and high prices.
(3)Andrea K.
Stopped in here for some take home gyros on Saturday. A friend told me it was the best gyro her husband had ever had so of course we had to see if we agreed! Over all, the gyros were pretty good and I liked that I could really taste the lamb. However, I did feel like the meat was a bit dry. I was glad it had lots of sauce- it was definitely a messy meal. The pita was delicious. I did notice that they make homemade foccacia and other breads and that always impresses me. We also had the greek salads and those were good. The kalamata olives were not pitted so I definitely liked that. They did not seem to skimp on the ingredients involved. Not sure if we'll come back- may have to try out a few other places first.
(3)Nicole S.
The Greek sampler deluxe did not disappoint! The portions were huge with large helpings of hummus, pita, kalamata olives, tzatziki sauce, feta, dolmades, spanikopita, tiropita, and Greek salad. The spanikopita and tiropita were especially tasty--crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. The food arrived quickly after we ordered and tasted fresh. That, combined with the intimate setting and attentive service, made for a fulfilling dining experience.
(4)T M.
We ordered take-out. Overall, two thumbs down. Food is mediocre and over-priced, not to mention minimal portions. My finance ordered the 18-inch Gyros Pizza, which looked like a small. No, he didn't like it. I had a large garden salad with (warm extra) chicken. Terrible. The chicken was cold, and they do not understand what "extra" means. The amount of chicken on my salad was equal to 1/3 of a chicken breast, and they charged me additional for the "extra" chicken. Paying $36.70 (excluding tax) for tasteless, skimpy food was ridiculous. Too many restaurants offer both quality and quantity. This DOES NOT make the list.
(1)Rob B.
This place is an odd restaurant. They do have great Gyros. But the staff are not friendly. They are just there. They are quick to argue when you are checking the price on the tab as well. What I find strange is their prices seem to vary for the same food items. I've been here maybe 6 times. Hoping things would be better, but really they just are what they are. It may be a cool place to try when the living social or groupon deal comes out, but they are kind of picky on what you can use it for. I would not really recommend it, but if you are just looking for a great Gyro and not worried about the service, then they do have really good gyro's.
(2)LM T.
Best gyro I've had in awhile outside NY. Ambiance is so so, but the people are friendly, the food is good, and the prices are decent. Check it out if you like Greek food!
(5)Emily B.
Bucci's has all the ambiance of a 1980's Pizza Hut. From the laminate tables to the metal-rimmed chairs, this is a throwback to bygone era of family restaurants. For me, this is part of the charm as it evokes road trips with my parents through small towns where my dad was always very good at ferreting out great local eateries. Since he's the one that recommended we head here on Christmas Eve, this ability has clearly not gone away. (Please picture 5 of us showing up in our Christmas Mass best--suits and dresses--it was quite comical.) But let's get to the food. My husband and I shared a gyro plate and a Greek sampler, and both were delicious. The gyro meat in particular was incredibly well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. The pitas were fresh and warm, and all the of classic Greek sides like spanikopita were delightful. We ate way too much, which is a sign that we really enjoyed ourselves. The biggest drawback to this place was the service--they weren't very busy but everything was very slow. Maybe this was because it was Christmas Eve, but it may have been a little annoying if we weren't all in the holiday spirit. All in all, a great little local spot and I'd definitely go back!
(3)Kerry A.
Good food at a very reasonable price service was excellent. And remember us Tuesday is large pizza night for 7.99 what a steal.
(5)Sharon R.
WOW! Awesome food and service. We had the ravioli and the sauce was so delicious I could have just had a bowl of it. Lots of flavor and the sausage in the ravioli was spicy and tasty. We also had the gyro and it was one of the best I've ever had. We will be back and we will become regulars. We'll have to up our workouts because of it, but well worth an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill!
(5)Shanah Z.
I decided to try Bucci's because I am trying to experience new foods. I'm not an avid Greek food eater, but I have been wanting to try it. Groupon had an offer for Bucci's so I thought I would give it a try. I would get a great deal and the chance to try new foods. Score. It wasn't very busy when I went, but there were a few people in there. The decor makes it cozy and gives the restaurant a nice setting. We were told to sit where ever. Although most of the tables seemed to say reserved. I had already picked out what I wanted by viewing their menu on their website. I love being able to do that. That way I have an idea of what I want before I get there. I ordered the Greek Sampler Deluxe so I could try various items in this one visit. The food was pretty good. I rather enjoyed the tzatziki, it was delicious. For dessert I ordered the Baklava. It was also pretty fantastic. I think the one thing that threw everything off was the disco music they were playing. It just honestly didn't fit the feel of a Greek/Italian restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and did a great job. I would love to go back and try some of their other dishes.
(3)Brian R.
We meet our friend for dinner there a few weeks ago, very good food, and a nice "non corporate " feel. Our waitress was nice and the prices are reasonable. Tried the desert and the connolly reminded me the the Jersey shore. Will stop in again the next time we want Italian and Greek food!
(5)Brian R.
We have friends that are old fans of this place and now we are converts. Great place, simple atmosphere, and really yummy food. The service was polite, even though we were the only people left in the place on a snowy night! Going back again.
(4)Frank K.
In my book Bucci's serves some of the best Gyros anywhere. Sandy the owner is amazing and always friendly. My wife is a picky eater and they always accommodate her requests to add or delete ingredients from the regular menu items. We go mainly for the Greek food, but have occasionally tried the Italian dishes and they are also top notch. On Tuesday you can get a 18" cheese pizza for just $7.99.
(5)Laura L.
I found one of their coupons in the Val-U-Ads mailer and decided to give it a whirl. My boyfriend and I dragged our two authentic Greek friends with us to make sure the place was legit. And, although the atmosphere looked like a pizza parlor, the food was awesome! The owners (a husband a wife team) made sure to chat with us and make us feel welcomed. The four of us decided to order two Greek Sampler Deluxes, a Gyros Platter and an Eggplant Platter and just share all the food. The dolmades and spanakopita were phenomenal. We all ate to our hearts' content, and then somehow made room for baklava. The food was heavenly, and the prices were modest for the amount and quality of the food provided. I definitely would recommend trying them for some homemade Greek cuisine.
(4)Susann T.
I also am baffled by the rave reviews. My husband and I ate at Bucci's for dinner. We have been looking diligently for a Greek restaurant and we were so hoping that this was the one but, this was not to be the case. Others were correct in describing the decor as vintage 1980's Pizza Hut. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted because the restaurant was mostly empty. So we seated ourselves and someone came over and put the silverware, napkins and menus in a pile. I guess it's also set your own table too. The waitress was pleasant enough she took our drink order and left us to figure out our order. She came back fairly promptly and was ready to take our order. My husband ordered pastitsio, and a cup of chicken lemon soup. I ordered the gyro plate, a cup of chicken lemon soup, and the dinner came with a tomato and cucumber salad. Let's start with my dinner. The soup was not fully cooked. The rice was hard and crunchy, the soup was so very watery. Both my husband and I sent it back because it was terrible. Then my salad came. The tomatoes and cucumbers were old and spongy. The salad was overdressed with Italian dressing. My guess was it was to hide the bad vegetables. My entree came. I have had gyro plates all over the world. I expected a thinly sliced pile of gyro meat a pile of tomatoes some tzatziki sauce and a pita cut into smaller triangles. I always ask them to hold the onion and give me more tomato. But to my surprize I received a pita with lettuce, cucumber, 2 slices of tomato, chunked pieces of dry gyro meat soaked in a sauce that didn't taste like any tzatziki sauce I had ever tasted in my life. The entire thing was terrible and I was so disappointed. I also got a tablespoon of overcooked cold dry orzo rice. Do you think they could spare it? Then there was my husband's meal of Pastitsio, orzo rice, and salad. The salad that the waitress brought him to replace the undercooked soup was limp, and looked as if it came out of a bag. So he didn't eat it. Then there was the Pastitsio, this was dry, over cooked and tasted more like lasagna than Pastitsio. The meat sauce was marinara based instead of usi g the traditional spices for Pastitsio. We still aren't sure what was in the custard on the top but it had a very strange consistency. The whole thing was dry and over cooked. His orzo was also over cooked and cold he was also given about a tablespoon full. I gave Bucci's one star only because I couldn't give them any less. I wrote a review on this restaurant in hopes that I could save someone else from having such a bad experience. After this meal we stopped on the way home to get something to eat because I was so hungry.

OK, this is awkward. After our first visit a few weeks ago, I gave the Greek food a glowing review. We went back to try some Italian dishes and were less impressed. Our 12-year-old tried a personal-size cheese pizza and also didn't love it. We WILL go back, but we'll stick to the Greek side of the menu.

This place is scary. It looks like they haven't had a real customer in months. I got take out and ended up throwing it away. Gross and a waste of money.
