Where is the Best Italian Food in Albany, New York?
The Minneapolis downtown Bucca was really crowded on Saturday night. We chose Bucca’s to dine as we have always loved the tortellini along with the garlic mashed potatoes. Noting it was not on the menu, we asked our waitress and she stated she was very sorry and that she had head the complaint several times previously. She did go into the kitchen to see if they had any tortellini that could be cooked for us.(they didn’t). Which means it could not have been long taken off menu. We ordered the checken fettucenine and it was very good and we were pleasantly full. But just so you know, it was NOT as good a tortellini!!! Please bring this item back to the menu if possible. Thank you for your website and keep running a great resturant!!
Such a pity that the food is so good. This is the only restaurant that I walked out of. They never fail to seat you at the worst possible table, just between the door and the kitchen, in an EMPTY restaurant. Quite annoyed if you protest. Service is rather rude – – you feel like you are intruding in their private life if you ask for anything. Food is great – not inexpensive though. Pros + Great foodCons – Rude and expensive
I really love some of the dishes. I think the service is good. HoweverI became extremely angry when the person taking the reservations was rude. I was mostly in shock and couldn’t believe that someone at a restaurant I loved could be so mean! But, I called back and asked why he acted like that, he was self righteous, I told him I wouldn’t be making a reservation. For the most recent time I went it was great once again, this time the reservation was taken by a very polite lady. They also have a parking lot in case you were not sure. Overall, I like it a lot, I do wish the owner would see that the person who takes the reservations should be a little more polite. Oh well, I hope they keep cooking those amazing meals!Pros + Great food, try the torellina alla panna! If you like cream sauce this dish is great!Cons – The reservation guy is a little intense.
Set in a residential section of Southern Albany, Sam’s is easy access. It’s like visiting someone’s home!Clean, great bar, fantastic waitstaff and food is absolutely fabulous!!1 Great selection, too! Prices moderate. Great place for a romantic meal, a get together after work or just to got out to eat!Pros + Great food!Cons – Parking
The food is excellent .The ambiance is appropriate, for a 3 star, this would be the only thing that would cause it to not be a 4 star dining experience. The dining room is cozy,a great place to take someone special, or the whole family. The menu has something for everyone. You can’t go wrong here. Pros + food, service, cleanlinessCons – can’t think of a thing
