Diner Reviews

"Had a late Dad's Day celebration with party of 4. Were seated in the bar area. Music was very loud, but waiter was kind enough to lower to volume so we could hear each other. As usual, our food was delicious. The waiter was fantastic. The owner?/greeter was nice enough to take some pictures of us before we left with our camera & also an iPhone. Had food left over for lunch next day. Do feel the dinners get pretty pricey if you want bread, salad, etc., which are all extra charges. Really think bread, at least, should be included with dinner."

"The rest of my party liked the food. I didn't enjoy the apple salad though. I thought the salad would be crisp. Some of it was crisp but a good portion was wilted. I ate very little of it at the restaurant and threw the rest away when I got home. It was tasteless and really threw my money away on that selection. We rarely eat here because there isn't a good selection of low carb entrees. But thought my husband would enjoy the pasta for Father's Day."

"When we were seated it was in a room with 2 large groups that had young children that were very loud. I could not carry a conversation with my husband with out kids yelling. Then there were 2 birthday in that small room that made it even louder. We had 2 servers come to our table because they were unsure who's table it was. Then we were served our food with out any silverware. We had to flag someone down so we could eat. Then our waitress blamed someone else as to why we did not have any silverware. Overall the food was good but service and location our where we sat could have been better. This is my husbands favorite place to eat so we will be back. Like I said above its good for groups not for couples!!! I would work on that!"

"The wrost expirience ever, the food had no seasoning was really blend. We were a group of 8. 2 orders did not come forever people had to wait a long time for the food. I asked for a kid spoon, took forever to get it and still the spoon was huge. HORRIBLE!"

"Excellent service and a wonderful dining experience--good food (as before) and a nice choice of salads and deserts--enjoyed the Chicken dish and the green beans particularly!"

"I made this late reservation for 4 people, while on the plane flying from Houston, TX to Phoenix, AZ. It was so easy to use opentable.com for the first time. We had a great time at Buca. The food was great and as always we left with take-out boxes. We ordered a Large Calamari, Small Garlic Bread, Large Spaghetti and Meatballs, Large Chicken Parmigiana, and a Large Margherita Pizza. It was all fantastic. My only complaint would be that we had to sit at a table, in what seemed like the smallest room and only room being used at the time so it felt a little crowded. At the same time, what more could you expect for an 8:15pm dinner. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
"Took our mother to Buca's for Mother's Day and had 15 in our party. Our server, Megan, was wonderful and she was given help by other servers to be sure our table had everything we needed. My mother really enjoyed her day out with her children and grandchildren. I recommend Buca's for any special occasion or just a dinner with the family."

" My daughter wanted a place to take her group for dinner prior to their prom. I recommended Bucca di Beppo. This restaurant has been my go to for all my special occasions for the past few years. I had my waiter Donnie treat my daughter as though he had known her for years. Not only was the food superb as always, but Donnie made my daughter and her group of 20 prom kids , feel as though they were family. thanks to Bucca's management and staff for such a great and unforgettable evening.

"Frankly if you are a normal human being you will have plenty of leftovers after you're done eating. I took my mom there for her birthday and it was just me and her and we ordered chicken Parmesan and a pasta dish (forget the name right now) along with a salad and calamari, this was too much for us. However the god was great and the leftovers were good the next day, definitely need a group of at least three or four in order to get more food. Atmosphere is cool, you walk through the kitchen and can see the cooks preparing meals, the dining area is also interesting, no windows but there is no view in the area and the interior is decorated well with Italian themed knick knacks and posters"
Dined on 5/9/2014
"As always, this is our favorite restaurant. For Italian food there is no other place we would go to. It is as close to original as if you were in Italy. ie: pending on which province in Italy."

"We have been to Buca di Beppo in Mesa several times over the last few years and have never been disappointed. The food and service is always excellent. Our 2 grandchildren were visiting us recently and our 12 year old grandson has a severe peanut/nut allergy. We indicated this under special requests when making the reservation online. When we arrived they were aware of this and our server took every possible precaution with regard to ordering, food preparation, etc. Our grandson said it was the best Italian meal he'd ever had and declared it 'better than Olive Garden'. A great evening!"

"We came for my mom's birthday. She had never been to buca before and was very impressed. Her and my dad told me several times what a good idea it was to come here and that the food was excellent! "

"Sat night rush. The quality is starting to go down hill. Spaghetti noodles were over cooked again. 2nd time in a row of visits. Your meat sause seems to lose it's tomatoe base. Not the same quality I have had in past visits over many years. I tend to take dates to impress but sadly you are becoming a corporate chain. It truly is a chefs quality that has me doubting if I should return. P S listen to your voice recording to see if you are impressed with the voice a d tone.hungry"

"Went here with the family for Easter - had hoped for a brunch menu, but the dinner menu had a lot of good choices. Service was fast and friendly and the food portions were huge! What they serve for 2 people is more like for 3-4! Good Italian food and the room was tastefully decorated with lots of color and pictures everywhere, including the ceiling. We needed highchairs and they had more than enough. Family-friendly spot! I would definitely go again!"

"I have already answered on the web site that the food was great as always but that we were very unhappy to see they took our favorite wine off the list. We received an answer back, but really didn't tell us much. We hope that those in charge of the wine list will take a good look at it & maybe ask for more feed back from their guests."

"I mentioned in my reservation that it was my 40th wedding anniversary and asked for a quiet booth. Not even close. No one apologized or cared. Our entree was delivered, but no plates. The plate I eventually got was dirty and had to be replaced. We got little attention from our waiter."

"Our party of 4 loved the Family style servings & device. A wonderful way to present food for a group."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"This restaurant, has outdone itself when it comes to creating the italian style look. Having lived in italy for a few years, it tops the scale for Old fashion cave like italian restaurant look. Food portions are way to big though. They are trying to create a family style dining where you get one plate and you all share. A great idea but after having lived in Italy this just does not exist in any restaurants at all. Just the Italian dining at home tables still have some of this. Pasta was over cooked and no flavour but taste fully presented. Prices were reasonable, service was excellent and would recommend."

"Buca di Peppo provided just what we were looking for to celebrate our granddaughter's 18th birthday! We were a party of 8 and they accomodated us perfectly! The waitress suggested how much we should order for our group, and it was the perfect amount. They brought a candelabra to the table instead of just a small candle to blow out for the birthday treat! A real classy dining place! Will return MANY times!"

"Thank you for making our evening ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! We LOVE Buca di Beppo SO much my husband and I would like to return for a date night sometime. Thank you for EVERYTHING!"

"Food was great and staff friendly. Wait staff started out attentive then 'took off'. WE met another couple there for dinner but it got too loud to hear each other. First entrée was perfect but the Lasagne was good but not hot. I think the Lasagne was the last in the baking dish and had been sitting. Overall it was a great night. We should have asked for a small room that might have been quieter. Salad, garlic bread, and appetizer were very good. Made reservations easily on line."

"Wasn't impressed with the hype. Super loud, not a lot of attention to us. By the time our food got there our 2 year old didn't want to eat. It took a long time for two dishes. Probably ok for take out, but won't dine in again"
