Buca di Beppo - LivoniaConsidering it was Mother'sConsidering it was Mother's Day, a day I would never, ever go to a restaurant, but had to because of being torn between trying to celebrate my own mother and also move my daughter in to her new apartment for a new job she was starting the next day, I was real impressed that one, they took us right at the time I had our reservations for, and, two, the service was excellent and our waitress and the other "helpers" were very attentive to our needs.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother DayWe were seated on time, waiter was very good, service was fast, food was great, price was right5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for GroupsFun, casual dining with good food served family style.

The food was very delicious. The service was as expected, very good, and it was, as always, a great experience.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMBuona pasta/atmosfera molta comodaI hosted a welcome home party (from Italy) for 14 family members...although the seating was a bit cramped, it was a perfect Italian style for me...cozy, warm, lots of delicious red wine at a fair price, family style platters that we could all sample and share, and the staff was very pleasant and accommodating to all requests. The pasta with mussels was the best hit with our family, the sauce was a great blend even for non seafood enthusiasts. Pricing can be a bit high if you venture for the higher end wine selection and addition of several appetizers and desserts, however, well worth it for a celebration! Thank you!!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is always great at Buca.Food is always great at Buca.

The atmosphere is always elecrtic & you can hear the Buca Birthday song occassionall being sung in celebration. The white Sangria is awesome with just the right amount of drink & fruit...a carafe covers me & my friend for dinner & conversation. The garlic mozzerella bread is awesome - the portion is plenty to share. The Mixed Green salad is next with proscuitto & gorgonzola cheeses. The Pasta Rosa is the piece de la resistance! Hot, steamy, cooked perfectly. Don't forget dessert! The chocolate cake (LARGE slice) is phenomenal. The food comes in good sized portions!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat family place.Had a great family style dinner with lots of food to pass with even the small size dishes enough for 2 or 3 people.
