    We come to this location for Christmas each year and sometimes for Mother's day or Easter. We are delighted to find a restaurant open on Christmas and never take that for granted. We had a party of 7 and ordered 2 meat entrees, a vegetarian entree and a salad, all large. We received excellent service. Food was great, though we notice small changes in the recipes from year to year that we like a little less. Still, it's great food, makes great leftovers and is the best option for a large group outside of cooking at home. We love Buca and hope to continue coming here for years to come!

    We were hosting a small family gathering pre-Christmas show. Zelo was the perfect ‘appetizer’! It’s our favorite Minneapolis restaurant and never fails to impress. Food is delicious, ambience perfect and a special thank you to our server Erica who was the perfect mix of attentive without being intrusive.
