Fresh pasta waits by the bus station
La Buca faces a church beside Chora's bus station, using a polished terrace for Italian cooking run by the same family in the kitchen and dining room. Paccheri with prawns, beef cheek with fresh pasta, grilled sea bass and pizza offer a clean break from another round of souvlaki.
Pastas earn stronger repeat praise than the pizza, and portions defeat casual over-ordering. Reserve after 8 p.m., split the focaccini or bruschetta and leave room for the slow-cooked beef; a minority of recent diners report pre-prepared starters and indifferent follow-up.
What visitors say
La Buca rates 4.4 from 378 Tripadvisor reviews and holds Travelers' Choice recognition; prawn paccheri, beef cheek, portions and repeat visits lead praise, with some recent inconsistency in starters and service.
