Bucci Italian - Wandsworth

We were surprised to be seated between 2 parties! One of 32 and one of 16 which made for a very loud atmosphere! One we adjusted to the noise we were able to enjoy the evening. We were served our drinks straight away and ordered our food. We were a table of 4 who began by sharing the antipasti meat platter and the beetroot starter. But were absolutely first class. The flavours were amazing and we all thoroughly enjoyed. The main courses were first class. We had the mixed fried fish, seafood linguine, salmon and sea bass. We would highly recommend all 4 of these dishes. The flavours and the cooking of the fish was perfect. We would highly recommend all 4 of these dishes. The staff were attentive even though they were run off their feet with the big parties. It looked like everyone in the room was having the best time (all to be 30 again). We would like to return here again next time in London but hopefully next time will be a little less hectic. We really enjoyed finishing the meal off with a limoncello. Thank you.

Very clearly not enough staff on shift. Some of our drinks came and we had to ask twice for the remainder. We then ordered more drinks, but they didn't arrive. Our starters arrived within a reasonable time, but after waiting well over an hour for our main meals and still not having received our second drinks order, we had to ask several times before the meals and drinks eventually arrived. When they did, the pasta dish was cold, but by then we all had had enough and just wanted to finish and go. We were disappointed with the service and said so. The last few drinks were taken off our bill, but I won't be returning.

Reviews /10. 3 mini starters: Goats cheese and red onion 6-7 Nonna meatballs 3-4 Calamari 7-7 Seasonal ragu 6-6 Seasonal aubergine 6.5-6.5 Friendly service. Average value for money.

I had my first dinner at Bucci last night while visiting our daughter, and thoroughly regretted not having discovered this little gem while still living in London. Service was nothing short of top, with Graziano taking super care of us with super charm, great sense of humor and good advice on food wines. Being Italian we generally avoid Italian restaurants, but were glad to make an exception to celebrate my father in law b’day, and be treated to a high quality “home made” cuisine, like you only find in few “family run” restaurants. I went for Melanzane alla Parmigiana as appetizer, and two mains on a “share basis”, i.e. spicy shrimps and balsamic calamari. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection, generous portions, tasty and high quality ingredients. All of this was accompanied by a nice blend of white (Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes) recommended by Graziano, which again made everyone happy. Forgot to mention, I was finally prepared a nice and proper Negroni to begin the evening with, which again is easier said than done in most places in London. Thx again for treating us to a great evening of great food in a warm, friendly and joyful environment.

The restaurant was very busy when we had a table booked there. We placed our food and drinks order together. We received our starts before the drinks were even served. We waited patiently for our drinks but they never turned up. So after our starters we chased them up. They were very apologetic and gave our first drink for free, which was very nice of them. Our main course took along time to come out as they were so busy. Our food was very nice and the staff were friendly and very welcoming. We also had a limoncello at the end of the meal complimentary. Thank you for a lovely meal Bucci
