Bucceto's opened its first restaurant in Bloomington, Indiana in September 2004. It is a sister store to Indianapolis based Puccini's Smiling Teeth.
Puccini's opened its first Smiling Teeth restaurant in March of 1991. The Smiling Teeth menu specializes in innovative pizza, pasta dishes and salads of the highest quality, prepared fresh every single day. The Smiling Teeth menu has also expanded over the years to include Italian chicken dinners, calzones, sandwiches and low-carb meals.
The atmosphere is casual, yet stylish. Families, dates and seniors feel equally comfortable. The restaurant is considered to be a value, providing quality at a reasonable price.
In its second full week of operation, Puccini's was reviewed by the Indianapolis Star newspaper and received the Stars' highest possible rating. In August of that first year, the Star listed Puccini's Smiling Teeth as one of the ten "Hottest Restaurants in Indianapolis".
Recognition grew with highly favorable ratings and reviews from print, radio and television. Indianapolis Monthly listed Puccini's Smiling Teeth as being in the top five in all of metro Indianapolis in the following categories: pizza, pasta, salad, service and carryout. They also rated Puccini's as having the very best house salad in Indianapolis.
Bucceto's, in Bloomington, Indiana, was recently voted "Best Restaurant" by the Indiana Daily Student newspaper as well as the Bloomington Convention & Visitors Bureau.
In the years since, Smiling Teeth restaurants have grown in number to eleven locations throughout the midwest: Six stores in Indianapolis, one in West Lafayette, Indiana, one in Lexington, Kentucky, one in Louisville, Kentucky and two sister stores (Bucceto's) in Bloomington, Indiana.
We feel that when you eat at one of our restaurants, each of your teeth should individually be happier than they have ever been before. Your over-worked, over-taxed, under-appreciated teeth deserve their own little smile. And, indeed, you shall have it here.
That is our mission statement, our credo if you will.
