About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Innovative
Kid-friendly

Locals and tourists alike flock to Buccini Restaurant because of its delicious light Italian cuisine, and its welcoming, exuberant ambiance. Buccini injects the buzz of Rome's street-side restaurants into the tropical warmth of Port Douglas. The best fresh regional produce is used to create familiar and exotic Italian specialities, complemented by moderately priced Italian and southern hemisphere wines. Meals are served with style and zest well suited to Port Douglas's holiday setting. Formerly known and loved as Bucci, this restaurant is the brainchild of Michelin starred chef Spencer Patrick and was conceived in 2009. Buccini shares the same owners, managers and philosophy as Bucci. Along with his wife Reina and business partners Mike and Di Lisle-Williams, Spencer runs Buccini and Harrisons Restaurant in Port Douglas as exec chef/owner. His talented and dedicated team include Ben Bamford who has been a prominent and influential presence behind the stoves for three years now.

It appeared as if the restaurant was not prepared for a New Year's Eve dinner and so the food was late in coming out not leaving us enough time to enjoy it or to have desert. No reasons were given or apologies offered. The food was of a decent standard but the service really let the place down.
