Nice place, but it could lose the "sports bar" vibe; it's not needed. There's too many of those in this town already.

Mother’s Day dinner. The restaurant was busy which was nice to see. Service and food were great. But they ran out of Peroni. Great restaurant for family meal or date night.

Waitress seemed like she was bothered by waiting on us. Made a couple small mistakes though quickly rectified them. Go there because the dirty martinis are so good. Last night it was half the amount as usual and wasn’t as flavourful. Seems the staff is different than 1 month ago.

Will never go back! The food was awful. Cesar salad had all the hard middle parts of the lettuce. Pizza was so bland that you had to add salt to it and the macaroni tasted like mom would make, dump a can of Campbells tomato soup in it. You would at least think the wine would be good but it wasn’t even chilled for white wine. Service was horrible. Waitress never once asked if we wanted a refill or another drink. Or checked to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. She rushed past us and looked back and asked us if everything was ok at the end when we just wanted our check to leave. Rushy ambiance.

We had made reservation for 3 but lone end up canceling, we were given different table which was only good for 1 so we shifted to one which was originally reserved for us. We were told we can only sit there for 2 hours which is fine but then we were so much rushed by server it was like he wanted to get rid of us. After 40 min he said you can stay in restaurant but move to other table. Felt we were unwelcomed.

Great spot to catch up with a friend, good food, unobtrusive service, fun, energetic atmosphere. I always seem to gravitate to the beef carpaccio l (which is amazing) but maybe one day I’ll try something new. The Puglia Chardonnay was also delicious.

It was Thursday night and Girls night at Buco. We enjoyed a great evening of exception food and service. We shared Truffle fries and Italian Sausage as appetizers and the Dolce Piccante pizza as the main meal. Highly recommend Buco Pizzeria + Vino Bar - Windermere!

This was our first time at Buko’s. The ambience is casual and elegant. Our server was very good and attentive. My wife and I ordered an assaggini (appetizer). Tasted delicious. Then we each ordered a pizza. Even more delicious. We couldn’t finish our pizzas, so we took them home to enjoy another meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We will be back.

Disappointed to write a negative review for the well-needed food and restaurant scene in the Windermere area. Unfortunately there are no positives for Buco in Windermere. Information provided between hostess and servers were not consistent, lack of refinement for food/beverages (i.e. sticky glasses, undercooked food), chairs were uncomfortable and tables had a lack of privacy; the overall atmosphere was sadly underwhelming. After dining at this location a few times, I would definitely not recommend to friends/family.
