I went for lunch on Friday 27^th April 2012.  It felt like I was in a genuine Italian pizza paille.   Il buco’s  pizzas are not round but they were square which was interesting and something different from what is normally seen elsewhere.  There is only one table to sit in Il buco (if I remember correctly) but there are many seats outside that can be used.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.  Although they were so busy but the food came out shortly after my orders. 

Food and Drinks

Ortolana Pizza $6.00 per slice   

Apart from mozzarella cheese on Ortolana pizza you can find capsicums, tomato, courgette, oregano and a lot of onions.  It is one of the most colourful pizzas I was behind the display at il buco.  Although Ortolana was a tasty pizza but I think a little bit more cheese and salt on the toppings would have made it even tastier.

Ripiena pizza $6.00 per slice

Ripiena pizza was simple but tasty.  It has mozzarella cheese, spinach, ham and mushrooms as toppings.  Something I liked about il buco pizzas is that the pizza base is thin and crispy and decent amount of toppings.
