Made fresh in-house everyday, Osteria La Buca, stands true to its reputation and has a host of values that makes this Italian spot a stand-out in a city of Italian restaurants. Our core belief: great food need not be elaborate or overwrought, but rather fresh, uncomplicated and well executed in order to get out of the way of the ingredients and find the joy in their innate flavors and qualities.

We believe in true hospitality, honesty, and integrity. Osteria La Buca has been a part of the Los Angeles community for over 10 years with over 70% of our staff being in our employ for many years. We strive to create an environment that benefits not only the restaurant but the employees themselves.
