Our Story

Serving Since 2022

Supper Club For friends

Little Buca was founded by Stephania Raia Conti and her husband as a supper club for friends and family. Combining Joe’s Sicilian culinary heritage with Stephania’s passion for hospitality, their intimate dinners quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Today, the tradition continues—welcoming guests as part of the Little Buca family.

The Buca Experience

From the moment you sit down — ice-chilled wine, warm garlic knots, zucchini chips, and fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano — you know this place is different. Start with silky Tuna Crudo or Burrata Milanese, then lose yourself in a Chicken Parm, Pasta Buca di Positano, or whatever seafood Joe's inspired by that day. End on a high note with tiramisu, Italian cheesecake, or Nocciola Truffle gelato. He'll likely stop by your table to make sure you did.
