We love Buca D’Oro !!! We are a group of 10 who eat here before going to the Walnut Street Theater and we are so glad that we do. Service always ensures that we have a nice meal and have plenty of time to walk around the corner to the theater. The food is well-prepared and delicious and, very honestly, very well priced. From appetizers to drinks to entrees to dessert & coffee, our bill last night was only $110 per couple thanks to the generous 15% discount for theater goers. (we still tip on the original amount).
