Buca Yorkville is ranked as one of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto. Located a stones throw from the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel, the chic restaurant specializes in inventive and traditional Italian dishes.

Buca Yorkville
After wowing Toronto with his first Italian restaurant on King Street West, Chef Rob Gentile upped his game by opening his third trendy eatery, Buca Osteria & Bar in Yorkville.
The Yorkville restaurant’s sleek interior features an industrial chandelier, posh white marble bar, and a steel wine rack that shows off the sommelier’s favourite labels.
Skip through the dining room and you’ll find contemporary furnishings, including a high tops and tables that accommodate 90 diners at a time. Buca Yorkville also offers a semi-private room, which can serve a celebratory crowd of 12. If you’re keen to impress on a romantic date make sure to reserve one of the half dozen seats at the chef’s table, perched over an open kitchen.
While Buca Yorkville’s interior is pleasing to the eye, its hard walls, ceilings and floors can make chatting at the table a challenge.
