Marketplace Menu

Il Buco Alimentari, known for its simple authentic food with Italian-NY vibe, is offering a complete Thanksgiving dinner to go, via their marketplace. The spread will comfortably feed a group of 10 to 14 guests and includes a 16-18 lb bird, crushed Yukon and sweet potatoes, caramelized Brussel sprouts, buckwheat stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy for the fairly modest price tag of $250. If you just want to outsource the veg all the sides can be ordered individually. Holiday desserts include pumpkin pie, salted chocolate tart and an apple cake. Alternatively, eat-in at their family-style restaurant and have them take care of everything - including the washing up.
