Buca

Situated down a charming alleyway, this beloved Italian trattoria utilizes seasonal ingredients (often foraged by the chef himself), incorporating them into such dishes as stuffed pasta with wild hare and foie gras and braised wild dandelion with parmigiano and hen’s egg yolk. While a handful of items on the menu are daring, the pizzas and accessible appetizers make it easy for kids to eat here as well. Lauded chef Jamie Oliver once dubbed a visit here his “favorite meal of the year.”
