    I'm still dreaming about the incredible meal I had at Buca Doro, the cozy Italian restaurant in the heart of the city. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family by the warm and welcoming staff. Our server, Gesti, was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, helping us navigate the extensive selection of traditional Italian dishes. For my main course, I opted for the Spaghetti Bolognese, which was cooked to a perfect al dente and smothered in a rich and meaty sauce. My companion's Chicken Parmesan was equally impressive, with a crispy exterior giving way to tender and juicy chicken. But the real standout was the Tiramisù, which was creamy, coffee-infused, and utterly divine. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall, I highly recommend Buca D'oror to anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. The food is delicious, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and intimate.
