Considered the holiest time of year, the spring season not only signifies warmer days and blooming landscapes, it also represents a time for reflection and renewal. It is during this Lenten season that Christians prepare for the celebration of Easter with prayer, penance and sacrifice.
Here at Buca, we understand the importance of spiritual disciplines and rituals, which is why we offer our guests a variety of delicious dining ideas for Lent. Our large menu selection of meatless appetizers, salads, pastas and entrées, is prepared family-style to encourage sharing among family and friends. Buca’s comfortable dining rooms are filled with large communal tables and adorned with vintage photographs, giving guests the feeling of dining at a good friend’s home.
