Went to the original when I was a little fart, can't remember much but we went their often. After 30 years or so the food is still good, pizzas are great - I thought a bit on the small side so the next time I went I ordered two for myself - and I only managed to finish one. What a genius gut bucket I am. The only thing, and I think it is a general consensus is that the decor / atmosphere is a bit sterile. It's like sitting in a hall - old Italian club style. Maybe a pot plant or two and some music could do this little gem wonders.
I had a great meal tonight. We had pasta, cannelloni, veal and calamari. And I organised for italian kisses for dessert for a birthday and they didnt even charge us for that. Service was great. I havent been there in years and now Ill definitely be back again.
Whenever one dines at Er Buco one can always expect the warmest and friendliest service, as well as a wide variety of tasty foods all cooked to perfection. This little family business is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in the area. I highly recommend Er Buco.
Great traditional Italian food. Amazing. Old school service. Freshly prepared ingredients. A small menu makes it easy to choose and keeps you coming back
I have heard only good things about Er Buco spanning its decades of being operational from its humble beginnings in Orange Grove many years ago to its new home in Linksfied, and in particular, its authentic thin crust pizza and famous cannelloni.
As such, on our first visit, we chose to share pizza, cannelloni and the beef ravioli. The winner? Pizza every time!
Don't expect fancy interiors or extensive wine lists, but if its authentic Italian that you are after, this is a tried and tested favorite. Anna, is truly the original "Mama" (as everyone so lovingly refers to her as) and she checked on our table often throughout our meal!
*Recommendation: Er Buco truly is a hidden gem worth making the trip for, and the prices aren't bad either (which is always a plus). I highly recommend their pizza!

P and I felt rather lazy to cook tonight and she wasn't feeling so well, so we decided to go somewhere closeby ..kust 15min away we find #ErBuro which means little hole in Italian. The hosts are very polite and are a wealth of information, the waitor looked like he had a huge chip on his shoulder and an attitude to match his died brown hair. When he first arrived at our table he just stood there and looked at is and I gathered he wanted to take our order.. yes not a word... he just seemed very condescending.. anyhow we would not get that get in the way we ordered snails for starters and that was a mini Pizza retreat with about 6 delicious garlicky herbi snails..believe me it was fresh and delicious.. please ordered a call one (folded pizza) and I ordered a grilled sirloin with side pasta.. my steak was done to the t, just the way I liked it. The pepper sauce was nice.. if you bite into the peppers, your sinus feels it.. P's can zone was really tastes.. sumtupus actually , it had a light flaky crust and it was just yummy.. very enjoyable evening.jusy try and not get the hair died waitor to serve you
Great traditional Italian food! Sunday lunch is family time and we were there for a family lunch. I had the Lamb shank which was buttery and delicious served with fresh garden veggies. The osso bucco and schnitzels (both veal and chicken ordered) were rated as very good. The highlight of the meal though was the Zabaglione which was made by Isaac. A bit heavy on the brandy, but still delicious paired with finger biscuits.
Wife had Tripe, very good. I had the Lam Shank well prepared. Service is good. Will visit again
Prices is good and safe parking. Nice wine list with good variety. We were pleasantly supriced with this family business.
Great authentic Italian. Always good. Always welcoming. Haven't ever had a bad meal, always quick to the table and the home made pasta is superb.
A warm feel and atmosphere. The food is proper Italian grub at a reasonable price. The gnochhi gorgonzola was awesome and the other members of the party raved about their dishes too. A jug of sangria and a tiramisu later and I will definitely be back.
A hidden gem. This is an old school, an Italian family run restaurant.
The service is professional. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is delicious.
The type of meals that an Italian grandmother would cook for a family feast.
Haven't been here for about 5 years but was very happy. Friendly owners and staff, good service and great food. I had lasagne that was excellent, my wife enjoyed her gnocchi. It's a shame the place wasn't busier, but we'll definitely be back
Food was delicious and service great... I'd recommend to anyone. Their cheesecake was out of this world as well.. thanks..
Absolutely divine food!! My husband and I decided to stop her for a quick supper, now I wish we had more time to spend there. The food, the atmosphere, everything was just on point and wonderful. The food is authentic and delicious. I have never tasted gnocchi that soft, it was like little pillows of heaven! Definitely going back there!
The meal was very well prepared, service lovely, prices reasonable and... Not one single spelling error on the menu 😂
The food is delicious and the vibe is cozy and relaxed. Fine Italian dining. A huge bowl of pasta fagiolle soup preceded a wonderful thin crust seafood pizza.
Epic Spagetti will definitely be getting food from here again!
Wow by far the best Italian food, freshly made. You feel you in little Italy. Friendly staff, owner she such a gentleman and helpful. Great pastas , food is good.
This gem of a restaurant is not being supported enough. Great ambiance with owners on hand and serving. Food was outstanding and well presented. Can't wait to go back
Wonderful, quiet evening, delicious food, love the personal attention from the owners.
