Rate and Write a Review If you are looking for a quaint (though not quiet) country setting, Il Buco is about as close as you can get without leaving the city. Owners Donna Lennard and Alberto Avalle originally opened this hole-in-the-wall (Il Buco literally means "the hole" in Italian) as an antique store a few years ago, then decided to sell wine and food as well, and they soon realized that more people were interested in buying tapas than rust-covered watering cans. From the original regulars who happily nibbled Italian and Spanish morsels amidst broken-down wheelbarrows and antiques, Il Buco's following has grown. Reservations are a must, especially on weekends, when the kitchen is open until 2 a.m. Il Buco's menu features such Mediterranean-inspired dishes as salt baked fish, garlicky grilled langoustines and wild boar sausage with corona beans. The wine list is considerable, and dotted with unusual Italian selections, which is fitting since the wine cellar here is reputed to have been the inspiration for Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story, The Cask of Amontillado.
