Wine Bar Bucca — Restaurant in Podgorica

Bucca is a wonderful restaurant with great service. The restaurant evolves around seasonal vegetables. In essence, their menu depends on the seasonal produce that their kitchen gets. Hence, the menu can vary from day to day. My friends and I enjoyed the cheese platter the majority of which were local from Montenegro. It was paired with a delicious glass of local white wine. We were also offered hot little breads that were delicious. I opted to go for a starter – pumpkin lasagna. It turned out to be quite big which I gladly shared with my friends. It was absolutely delicious but slightly oversalted. The main was Cabbage rolls with vegetables and rice in tomato sauce topped with crushed roasted hazelnuts and crumbled cheese. Although enjoyable I am still not convinced if the cabbage was the right choice for this type of dish. As I said, the portions are generous and I might have over-ordered as well.

Great spot for an upscale dinner with wonderful service. Good for a date night. The wine and cocktails are selected well and with care. Table came with warm, fresh bread and a wine based butter.

However, the reason for 4 stars and not 5 was the duck. It was overcooked and tougher than expected, with a notable chew. We were disappointed with this dish bit still had a great evening. We finished with some sorbet desserts and left happy. Overall, I believe the prices to be rather high, but the service to be...

Service was impeccable, everyone spoke English and was extremely attentive!

The food was first class until the entrees. The sea bass was terrific and the arugula risotto was delicious. I ordered the duck which was overcooked and a bit tough. I believe this was due to a slight communication error. I requested the duck to be medium rare but it's possible the server, although very well spoken in English misheard my request and went in the other direction (totally overcooked).

The gnocchi and the garlic shrimp were phenomenal and a great opener for the meal.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience immensely and would return to explore the ever changing menu.

Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a little strain on...
