Il Buco in Hamburg

The food is high-quality, but most dishes tasted a bit... plain. My biggest gripe is the noise: you can't have a pleasant, relaxed conversation in what is essentially a basement full of people trying to talk over each other's noise. Maybe some sound dampening could help.

Absolutely excellent food and top service. The location is a bit difficult, but it's worth it. Definitely make a reservation!

An all-round successful evening. Thanks for that.

Great menu, nice atmosphere and very attentive and friendly service. Shoaibi and Magi were great. I'd love to come back.

Wonderful evening at Il Buco! Our waitress Dustin was super relaxed, you had the feeling you had known each other for ages. His wine and grappa recommendations were so passionate that you could tell he loved his job. Chef Mariusz conjured up visual eye-catchers that tasted just as much as they looked - fantastic! All in all - great team and maximum enjoyment factor. We thank you for the lovely evening. Jens Rudolph and family from Halle/Saale and Hamburg

Very pleasant, the employees Ali and Dustin were very courteous and consistent in their work. Ambiance and people very very pleasant. Food, which is probably the most important thing here, very, very good, a lot of it homemade, high quality and very precisely selected. Been there 2 days in a row, different dishes and none disappointed. As expected, very good. Whenever I am in Hamburg, I will come here at least once.

Found Il Buco by chance via Google. Went there and was NOT DISAPPOINTED. Chic, fine, a small shop with a lot of charm. Beautiful glass culture, drinks and food at a very good level. Was in HH on business and ate here two days in a row. Special compliments to Ali and Dustin for the service on both days 🙏🏻

Good food at the beginning very attentive The prices are already high, I would recommend a starter to fill you up. Great bread and oil/balsamic vinegar

Thank you Hamburger Abendblatt for the recommendation! Despite the stress, she was incredibly friendly and helpful to the guest. Very authentic, delicious Italian food.. refined with spices and herbs..<capers..fresh sage. fresh dill...For carpaccio capers and pine nuts...as bread forcaccia. Antipathy from fresh vegetables etc Super tasty ravioli with traditional sage.. Panna cota very tasty and fluffy We'll be back.superb

very good cuisine, price/performance ratio ok, nice atmosphere, service with room for improvement, as a welcome - we were the first guests - the note "the table is reserved until X o'clock" which creates a hectic atmosphere, and we had to look for the coat rack ourselves, not to mention the service asked "whether the coats can be removed?" ! Sorry: probably old school, I still expect it in a high-priced restaurant

An excellent restaurant. The starters were excellent. The main courses had a very exceptional taste - I can highly recommend the homemade pasta with rabbit and the ravioli with fish, unforgettable! You definitely have to try the desserts, I particularly liked the semifreddo.

The food at Il Buco was really great – fresh, delicious and simply a pleasure. The atmosphere was super cozy and made the evening even better. Our waiter Shobi really made the visit special. He was super friendly, relaxed and completely attentive. We thought it was really cool how he spoke German with his English accent - it really gave the whole thing a special touch. We'll definitely be back!

Small but fine restaurant with unusual food. Beautifully decorated and good in taste… truly Italian fine dining. Highly recommended but definitely reserve in advance. It goes very quickly

Vi var et par som kom forbi, heldigt var der et lille bor. Bordet var placeret med døren, og det var en smule koldt. Maden var virkelig god, og tydeligt smag af det var hjemmelavet. Restauranten var moderne indrettet. Kan bestemt anbefales, og kommer gerne igen

Nice little restaurant, modern decor. The food was really good, and their homemade pasta was top class.

It's a small restaurant but incredibly good. We went there based on a recommendation and the food was great. We were greeted very nicely and we immediately felt at home. It was delicious as you can see from the photos. I can recommend the restaurant wholeheartedly. Very important, reservations must be made in advance as the restaurant is booked out very quickly 😊 and rightly so.

After many years (over 20) it is time for an update. No matter what we chose over the years, everything was exceptionally delicious. The food is still outstanding. The service is also good. But what no longer fits are the prices or the price/performance ratio. 27.90€ for pappardelle with venison ragout is okay if not only a small portion with small pieces of venison is served. Bruschetta for €17.00 and €13.90 for a panna cotta is also steep in my opinion. Unfortunately, this is not a good development. If the current menu is very reduced and differs significantly from the one on the Internet - I had previously chosen something on the website and neither was available - then it becomes critical. The service said it wouldn't be available again until summer. Four people at the next table even had to reorder because pappardelle with beef cheeks were sold out. 3 stars instead of 5 as before are ok for me, but definitely go to Il Buco when I'm back in Hamburg, it doesn't have to be (anymore). Too bad.

Insanely good restaurant. Ali and Dustin have a great concept, a great ambience and the dishes are incredibly tasty. Very happy again.

If you're looking for a small, sweet Italian restaurant that makes its own pasta, offers an all-round great menu and impresses with excellent, personal service, you've come to the right place! We will definitely come back, it was worth every euro :)

The food is 1A great! Absolutely recommended and a wonderful taste experience Thanks!

Ein Abend mit Freunden, freundlichem und kompetentem Service. Exzellente Pasta, hervorragend abgeschmeckt. Sehr gute Portion. Ausserdem Pulpo, zart mit geschmolzenen Tomatenstreifen, dünn geschnittenen, leicht angebraten Kartoffeln mit frischenThymian. Ein Gedicht.

Great location, unique service. Compliments to the kitchen. The eye eats too! Cry well. Top recommendation!

Amazing food, great service! It's a small place,very busy, but we were never made to feel rushed. Loved it!!

Great restaurant with homemade pasta and unusual dishes. The starter was very tasty and the main course topped it again. We always enjoy coming back, even after years. Reservations are recommended due to the small space available.

“An absolute highlight in Hamburg! Il Buco is a true gem of the city. As soon as you enter the restaurant you immediately feel welcome. The service is simply great! Our waiter Dustin was incredibly friendly, funny and made us smile with his charming manner. He always had a casual saying on his lips, which made the evening even more pleasant. The food – wow! Every bite was a delight. The freshly prepared pasta dishes are particularly noteworthy. You can tell that the work here is done with a lot of love and passion. The atmosphere at Il Buco is cozy and inviting, which makes the entire experience perfect. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back. Big congratulations to Dustin and the entire team – keep it up!”

This place is a hidden gem! Their food is sublime and the staff is so attentive and friendly. The food was nothing short but a portal to Italy. With quaint ambiance, it’s a lovely place to have conversations over some amazing food and wine! Definitely plan your next date night here for sure!

hammer Really a great evening. Everything is great! Super nice service

Please read: Do not make a reservation at Il Buco and stay away from this restaurant! When I made a reservation, €100 was stolen from me, which I never got back even after asking several times. When I made a reservation via the online portal on Il Buco's website more than a month ago to eat there with my family, €100 was subsequently debited from my account without notice. Even after I canceled the appointment via the same portal due to illness in good time before the planned restaurant visit, my money was not refunded. When I started to inform myself about my missing money over the telephone, which was not answered, and by email, I was initially ignored. Then after two weeks I was given flimsy arguments as to why I hadn't received the money yet and whether this couldn't be clarified over the phone. Then - again two weeks later, after several emails from me - I was asked for my bank details so that I could transfer the money back. To date, this transfer has not taken place, even after inquiries. I feel betrayed and stolen from by the restaurant and its manager. The way they try to make money here is disgusting. I am now forced to take legal action as it is impossible to make reasonable contact with those responsible and get my money back. Anyone considering eating at Il Buco should know this.

We had dinner here, as is usual these days, we reserved the table for less than 2 hours, so that running the restaurant is still worthwhile today. However, I think that in this case, the cold starters, bread, etc. have to be brought to the table more quickly so that the guest can eat in peace and possibly enjoy a dessert. We really had to hurry at the end so we could get out on time. The food tasted great, the service was also perfect.

I really had a really nice evening in the restaurant this evening! The service was really nice and the waiter was really friendly. His name was a bit difficult, so I unfortunately forgot it, but he was really great. The food was delicious, everything tasted great. Overall, just a really great evening – I’ll definitely be back! Thanks for that! ☺️

Restaurant with Italian cuisine in Hamburg's St. Georg district, located in the basement with a reduced ambience, friendly, personal service, ambitious cuisine with a corresponding and still reasonable price level

It was a strange experience... all the other waiters were fine, but the guy who served our table was really strange. We just want an antipasti and a main course as we're not really hungry. The waiter repeated "but this is an appetizer" after I told him three times that I wasn't really hungry and I just wanted to share an appetizer & skin course with my girlfriend so I could enjoy a glass of wine. When he came to us with the food, he literally ordered me to put the napkin on my leg instead of politely asking me to do so...🥲 His tone was absolutely rude. Both of us would take it as a lack of experience from this waiter so we still tip 10%. But we really hope that this issue will be resolved so that other guests can have a good dining experience.

das essen war frisch und sehr lecker besonders die meeresfrüchte waren ausgezeichnet das personal war sehr gastfreundlich und gab gute empfehlungen die atmosphäre des lokals war sehr angenehm und gemütlich die preise waren für die qualität sehr angemessen

I invited my wife to II Buco for her birthday. We often go to the Alster on weekends. Know many pubs and restaurants in the area. We were here for the first time and were thrilled with the service as well as the food and drinks. “Small but nice” definitely applies here. Highly recommended, would love to come back. It was a great stay with you!

I ordered seafood Pappadelle, but the shrimp were not fresh, smelled bad, and had too little seafood in them, and the price was ridiculously high. Normally, you can just put Prezzemolo in the seafood, but the herbs were mixed here and there, and the original taste of the tomato sauce was covered. It also tasted like it was scooped out of a can and had a bitter, greasy taste. The coffee was too watery, and it seemed like pumpkin bread, but the dough was too soft, so it was difficult to dip olives in it. It smelled weird because it was a basement restaurant, but I managed to eat and leave. The water was Panna water, but it came out without a lid, so it would have been normal if they opened the lid in front of me. It didn't match the Google time, so it took a long time even for the Tageskarte menu. Disappointing. I will never go back.

I would have loved to join in with the many positive to enthusiastic reports. But either we experienced a pitch-black evening, the cook was sick or something else escaped us. The carpaccio arrived as a lump of frozen meat, the diameter of the spaghetti was more reminiscent of macaroni, the side order of green asparagus was practically raw and the previously announced spinach was never seen. The beef fillet, on the other hand, was excellent. Our feedback on the dishes was commented on as interesting by the friendly and attentive service staff and it was passed on to the kitchen. When we ordered, our request to change the side dishes was politely refused with the comment that this would insult the chef's creative sovereignty.

If you are closed on New Year's Eve then you should not accept reservations, numerous people stood in front of closed doors despite reservation confirmation

Als wir ankamen würden wir mit einem Lächeln begrüßt und sofort zum Tisch gebracht. Der Service war durchgängig überaus professionell, aufmerksam und äußerst angenehm in der Kommmunikation. Die Speisekarte hatte genau das richtige ausgewogene Maß und nicht zu viele oder zu wenig Positionen. Die Qualität der Speisen war bei allen am Tisch äußerst und überaus bemerkenswert gut. Und der Lugana, den wir getrunken haben, war ebenfalls seinen Preis wert. Fazit: ein Top Italiener mit wunderbarem Ambiente zu dem man gern geht.

Five stars for this great restaurant. From the starter to the dessert it was perfect and the taste was a dream. The The quality is a plus. The lovely service was also top and delightful. It was a wonderful evening, great food, great service and great ambience - we all had fun. I'll be back and you're on my list of the best restaurants♥️Thank you very much!

We ate at Il Buco with a large group in December and it was a disaster. The food was okay (although the price-performance ratio didn't match here either), but the "service" was a disgrace. Keller was drunk (or on some other drug), abusive, abusive and couldn't keep orders. But he didn't stop shouting "I'm the boss here" through the bar, which obviously wasn't the case. When the group took a souvenir picture, he simply stood there and made a gesture with his fingers that I won't go into further here. The whole evening with this waiter was completely absurd - as was the fact that no one (the real boss) sent him home; This behavior towards their own guests was therefore accepted. We will never come back and wouldn't recommend the restaurant.

Good Italian restaurant. Very tasty food. Cozy basement room. Would love to come again

Sehr gute Fettuccine mit einem sensationell gut gewürzten Hirschragout, guter Wein und ein kompetenter freundlicher Service. Ich habe selten ein so gutes Pastagericht gegessen. Und das alles in einem schön gestalteten Raum, in dem man sich wohlfühlt. Der nächste Abend mit Freunden im Il Buco ist geplant.

Sensationally good food Very nice and friendly service This doesn't get any better

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly service, a large portion of excellent fettucine with venison ragout, delicious tiramisu and almond ice cream. I look forward to my next visit to Il Buco.

Review for Il Buco Great food, everything completely homemade, and super nice staff! I only gave it 4 stars for the ambience, but that's entirely because the quality of the food was so exceptionally good that it almost overshadowed everything else. You could really have thought you were sitting in a 5-star bunker. However, that in no way detracts from the quality or the fun we had - it was simply amazing. Absolutely recommended!

I didn't dare take photos of the food, but it was not only sooooo beautiful but also soooo delicious. The service was unusually great - unobtrusive and attentive at the same time. A good recommendation in Hamburg.

A bit crowded with a large group but the food and service makes up for it

Mycket trevlig italiensk restaurang i centrala Berlin. Läget var nära Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. Väldigt liten restaurang, låg nere i en källare. Mycket mysigt! Jättetrevlig personal med bästa service. Vi åt mycket god mat med härliga smaker. Rekommenderar denna restaurang varmt!

Beautiful place, food prepared with love

Dejlig oplevelse. Mad og vin var helt i top, og betjeningen var super. Kan helt sikkert anbefales. Jeg kommer gerne igen.

Excellent small restaurant. Insanely great food. Service is world class. They’ll see us again the next time they visit Hamburg.

Very small stylish restaurant with super delicious Italian food. I have never had such good pasta that was served so fresh and hot. Main courses start at €19 and are well worth the money. The prices here are rather high, especially when it comes to drinks, but it's worth it. The only thing I was missing was a dip to go with the bread that was served beforehand. Clear recommendation and would come here again.

One of the best Italian restaurants I know outside of Italy. I always come here when I'm in Hamburg and have never been disappointed. Daily changing menu with homemade pasta and excellent wines including very friendly service! Costs a little more, but is worth it. Be sure to make a reservation, otherwise you will be disappointed, as you can see from some of the negative reviews here. I would love to come back again and again!

So maybe it was just bad luck but when we were there there was a very loud group (which was only made worse by the fact that there is no sound insulation in such a small room). But it's hard to bear and for the fact that you pay around 30 euros per meal there (which is definitely not enough food for that) you can probably expect that such guests will be asked to be quieter. To sum up, there wasn't enough food, the shop was tiny and the wait staff honestly could have taken care of the much too noisy guests.

It's so beautiful! The staff (I think his name is Oskar) makes you feel like you're special. Simply kind! The food is so fantastic that I was still dreaming about it: cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and tasted fantastic! Craziness! The ambience is also calming, tasteful and inviting. I've never felt better! Thank you very much! Now we're off to Düsseldorf again... if I'm in Hamburg again, I'll definitely come back! ❤️🙏🏻

Best antipasti, great wine & best service you could wish for!!! Definitely coming back!!! 🤗🥰

The radiccio salad with roasted pumpkin and the tiramisu are delicious and creative. The small location is in the basement and impresses with its fine details and the blue of “the calm of the north”. And lastly: the service is warm. Simply wonderful.

Very tasty food and super warm atmosphere. Mr. Oskar was very nice and professional, a short conversation made our evening more pleasant. We will definitely come back!

Food is priced a little higher but absolutely reasonable. Small menu, yet varied. Service very friendly, not intrusive. Small, fine restaurant with a charming ambience. Recommended.

It's probably an in-restaurant. Very good service, quick and relaxed. The basement is not for everyone. Very tight and hopefully it won't burn!

Mixed experience. The food is definitely good! We knew it from an earlier lunch. Booked months in advance for a weekend in Hamburg. At 8 p.m. we were informed professionally that a number of starters had already run out, without any excuses or alternatives. The last portion of bruschetta of the evening was served next to us. We find that a bit disappointing for a renowned Italian. We had a nice meal, but we didn't really feel like guests.

Wir waren mit 6 Personen im Restaurant. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Die Cocktails und das Essen waren sehr gut. Der einzige Kritikpunkt war daß uns kein Wein zum Essen angeboten wurde.

An all-round successful evening at Il Buch Ristorante! The food – a hit, authentic and super tasty. Paolo's service was simply great: attentive, charming and always on his toes. A real highlight in Hamburg, we will definitely be back! Clear recommendation!

Zwar im Keller, klein und nahe der Bahnhofsgegend, aber eine schöne Atmosphäre. Freundlicher Service, gutes italienisches Essen.

Wir hatten zu dritt einen fantastischen, legendären Abend im Il Buco! Der Serviceleiter Dustin hat einen spitzenmäßigen Job gemacht. Von der Zuweisung des Tisches, bei der Beratung bei Auswahl der Speisen und Getränke und mit seinem erstklassigen Service hat er einen Spitzenjob gemacht und uns dabei noch toll unterhalten. Das Essen war großartig. Eine Auswahl an Antipasti und anschließend frische, hausgemachte Pasta in verschiedenen Varianten. Alles sehr lecker! Die Weinempfehlung war ebenfalls super! Dazu tolle Drinks, sogar Eigenkreationen von Dustin. Zu guter letzt durften wir auch Mariusz kennenlernen. Er ist der Inhaber und Meister der Küche. Lange nicht mehr so einen herzlichen und lustigen Abend gehabt! 1000 Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft! 5 Sterne und absolute Empfehlung! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wir waren am vergangen Sonnabend das 2te mal im Il Buco. Die Erfahrung aus der Vor-Corona-Zeit wollten wir wiederholen. Und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Der sehr herzliche Empfang von Dustin war der Start in eine wunderbaren Abend. Ob der gemischte Vorspeisenteller oder die Nudeln mit frischen Steinpilzen waren eine Wucht. Die Weinkarte beinhaltet eine sehr interessante Auswahl an italienischen Weinen. Zum Abschluß haben wir uns hervorangende Martini-Espresso gegönnt, die sehr akribisch von Dustin bereitet wurden. Ein Genuß. Fast nur zu toppen durch die Degustation des finalen Grappas. Danke Dustin und bis aus ein Neues wenn wir wieder in Hbg weilen. Ciao Amigo

I loved the place. All very good. We ordered Spaghetti alla puttanesca and beef tagliatelle which were super delicious. Dustin took great care of us.

There's something wrong and it's okay

My girlfriend and I spent a very nice evening at Il Buco on Saturday. It is a small but extremely cozy restaurant, so I can only recommend making a reservation. However, as the number of guests increased, it became a bit stuffy in the small dining room. The service was unique, always friendly and attentive but always ready with a cheeky comment, but never rude or inappropriate. You could tell that he does his job with joy and passion. The food was excellent, just as you would imagine authentic Italian cuisine to be. I was particularly impressed by the tiramisu, the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. We'd love to come back.

Very nice little restaurant with great dishes, good quality and friendly staff

Excellent quality and super nice service. Very tasty and highly recommended!!

The food was fantastic, a taste experience and really good service - really cozy basement restaurant 🍴

Heerlijke Antipasti om te delen, uitgebreide kaart voor pasta en heerlijke Tiramisu. Gezellig restaurant niet te groot, je voelt je erg welkom met 2 kenners als obers. Geen website te vinden maar dat hebben ze niet nodig. Aanrader!

Not the cheapest of Italian restaurants in the city, but certainly we had one of the best meals here in our week-long stay. The wine was first-rate, and the pasta dish was delicious. Service was friendly, but sometimes difficult to attract - the restaurant was very busy. Would certainly return, given a chance.

Understated little hole in the wall with a surprisingly delightful menu and wine list.

We were there for the first time last night and will come again. A nice little restaurant with great service. The food was expensive but 100% worth the money. I recommend you!

Nice atmosphere, some of the food we ate was very tasty. Unfortunately one of the main courses was inedible. The two of us had a bill of €170 for two starters and two main courses plus drinks. Unfortunately the service was pretty bad. During the meal there were several cheeky comments. After we paid, the waiter at the table right next to us (while bringing the guests a nightcap) loudly complained that we hadn't tipped him enough and that's why he didn't want to bring us anything. I don't know whether it is good manners in the restaurant to loudly criticize other guests with selected guests while they are sitting half a meter away, but in my opinion that would have been more suitable for a snack bar than for fine dining. Other than that, we tipped normally. We were then no longer acknowledged or said goodbye as we left. I would therefore not recommend the store and would not come back. Still 2 stars for the food and ambience.

We waren in Hamburg voor een stedentrip! Onverwacht gereserveerd! Dit Italiaanse restaurant is supergezellig, knus en heerlijk gastvrij! Als je in Hamburg bent, doen, het is maar 5 min lopen van station HBH. Het eten is echt goed 😁

If you want to enjoy some upscale Italian cuisine, this is a really good place. The service was also really good. It would be our first time there and we felt very comfortable. A lot of time was taken when ordering, during the meal and afterwards. This was the case at every table. The restaurant in particular was completely full to capacity. Ambience is nice, homely. Fits. But in winter it can be quite tight as the space is limited. But that's complaining at a high level. Definitely recommended and worth every euro. Good and, above all, homemade Italian cuisine. Thanks for the lovely evening!

Very good food, nice service from Dustin and a very nice atmosphere. We'll be back!

Thanks for the super awesome evening. Thank you for the great food, for the great service, just awesome. Kind regards from the Palatinate girls. Martina, Sylvie and Petra

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal im Il Buco, diesmal zum sehr späten Lunch und waren wieder begeistert. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich , klar können sie jetzt bei uns Essen… Das Brot war frisch aus dem Ofen, die Vorspeisen und Hauptspeisen waren richtig gut, die Nudeln selbstgemacht, genauso muss es sein. Der Service ist sehr gut und freundlich, die Atmosphäre hat uns gut gefallen. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder.

It was a successful, fun evening with Oskar and Denis. The food is so extraordinary and delicious. The starters varied and exceptional. All pasta dishes were amazing. The dessert barely fit 😂 but Denis convinced us with his tiramisu and the pistachio ice cream... He didn't promise too much. There was no better way to celebrate your birthday with friends. We'll be back, promise. Britta and her friends

A small Italian restaurant just a few minutes walk from the hotspot of the main train station, right on Hansaplatz where drug dealers and beggars are out and about, but don't let that put you off, the police are present and a visit to this restaurant is a must in Hamburg. The starters are sensationally delicious such as burata, vitello tonato, bruschetta - you can hardly find anything of equal quality at Italian restaurants in Hamburg and throughout Germany. The pasta dishes are all recommended and, like all the dishes in this restaurant, are fresh and homemade and it is not served on I didn't skimp on the use of expensive products. I can only recommend the tiramisu and the pistachio ice cream to everyone, it's homemade and I've never had a better dessert from an Italian restaurant in Germany. The bread with the olive oil was super fresh and delicious, as olive oil is Also not standard, the owner gets it from a trusted olive farmer who produces the olive oil exclusively for his restaurant, absolutely sensational. The service was also okay since the shop was full, it was a bit hectic at times and our table was right at the entrance and exit, which of course wasn't that ideal. Otherwise, you have to reserve a table, the place doesn't have that many seats and the prices are very popular However, they are a bit more upscale, but that's completely right because they don't skimp on the quality and freshness of the food.

Bad music wow. Just good pasta. Duration.

What a lovely evening and what great service. The food was extremely good and the service made the evening special today. It wasn't the last time we were here. The restaurant is in the basement and was unfortunately very warm, which was the only downer.

Sind im Hotel auf das Restaurant hingewiesen worden. Toller Tip! Das ausgewählte Essen (Vorspeise Und Hauptgericht) war hervorragend, auch optisch. Der empfohlene Chianti passte perfekt dazu . Das Personal ist aufmerksam und sehr nett. Estate uns so gut gefallen, dass wir an unserem zweiten und letzten Abend wieder das Lokal aufgesucht haben. Ein unvergesslich netter Gewitterabend, an dem alle Gäste draußen unter der Markise zusammengerückt sind. Unsere absolute Empfehlung !!!!

Es war perfekt wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und es weiter empfehlen. So eine Pasta, in dieser Konsistenz haben wir noch nie erlebt

First date with an amazing woman and even more amazing food. Feels like I'm in Italy during a perfect summer… and Dustin was amazing 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾💯

Wir waren zu viert im Il Buco. Die Spaghetti Al Limone mit Pistazien Eis waren richtig gut, kreativ und von hervorragender Qualität. Mit Blüten angerichtet. Leider standen die Schälen für Olivenöl nur zur Deko auf dem Tisch. Es gab weder frisches Brot noch Olivenöl. Service war freundlich aber langsam, vermutlich unterbesetzt.

Great food, matching wine and nice atmosphere. Our waiter Oscar looked after us warmly and personally. A recommendation if you are in Hamburg!

Extremely overpriced. 30 plus Euros for generic everyday Pasta dishes. They are tasty but nothing special and no way do they live up to their fine dining prices. Sadly, not worth it.

I had a wonderful evening. Service world class, food more than +5 and Dustin gave us the evening of the year. Thank you ❤️

A small, cozy Italian restaurant with top cuisine! We really enjoy going here!

I was at Il Buco in Hamburg today and can only say: If you value a friendly welcome and good value for money, you should definitely avoid this place. As soon as I entered the restaurant I wasn't even greeted with a simple 'Hello' - instead there was an atmosphere of being unwelcome. The food? Absolutely overpriced and nothing special in terms of taste. My pasta, which cost a whopping €27.50, was simply not worth the money. When I asked to have the food packed, I initially only received the rude comment that this wasn't possible because there was no packaging. When another waiter came, it suddenly worked - and the food was vacuum-packed. Apparently people here expect you to just leave your overpriced pasta behind. My conclusion: This restaurant is not worth visiting. I recommend everyone to stay away from Il Buco.

Carpaccio and truffle pasta are highly recommended! The homemade focaccia is also delicious. Service is great. I found the prices, especially for the starters, to be quite high, but the quality of the food is very good, I would go there again. Seats outside are limited, inside quite small. Reservation required.

When you arrive at 8.30 p.m. you are told “I'm so exhausted, there's nothing left today”. Well, it probably speaks for itself. Definitely not worth a visit.

Very good food. Super friendly staff.

After waiting more than 50 minutes they brought me my ridiculously sized, oil-flavored pasta dish. I would never return.

Narrow basement restaurant. Even at 19 degrees outside temperature in Hamburg, I was completely overheated inside. No draft beer. Starter bruschetta for 19.80.-! (are you crazy???) Main course over-seasoned and “bathed” in Parmesan! I would like to be able to decide for myself as a customer. whether and how much Parmesan I want to add... The price is simply amazing! Sorry, but the place is completely overrated. I won't visit it again.
