Local before arrival
It all began as a couple’s antique store selling wares from the Old World, with the occasional intimate lunch prepared for neighborhood friends and customers. The meals were so scrumptious that Il Buco soon turned into a bustling enoteca that blends a number of Mediterranean influences to create some of the most innovative dishes in Manhattan. Ingredients from local farmers, delicacies imported from Umbria, and a vast wine cellar complement the elegantly rustic digs.
