Restaurants near Universal Studios Hollywood

Great service and amazing food. Beautiful ambiance

Simply wonderful. You could feel the history in this place.

Our server Trey was very friendly and the interior was very beautiful

Bucca is sheets an interesting experience because every restaurant’s vibe is different. Universal’s vibe is loud loud loud and energetic due to the clientele. I’m assuming this is due to people coming and going from the theme park. Our waiter Moises was super friendly and helpful. The pasta was average (needed salt) and the sundae was huge and delicious, however, the brownies in it were door stop quality. Couldn’t even cut through them with our spoons! Brought it up to the waiter and he left and told the manager and kitchen staff. Moises said that quality in the restaurant was the most important and thanked us for bringing the brownie snafus to his attention. We’ll return at some point because the overall experience wasn’t terrible.

The brunch food was fine. Served in a bowl(why?), the huevos rancheros were standing fare if a little bit tart. The chicken sandwich was reasonably large, the side of seasoned fries was on the small side. Our waitress was top drawer. She knew her stuff, listened, and was personable and efficient. She tried to find vinegar (none was available) and brought two dipping sauces in lieu of the vinegar. A for effort and for results as the restaurant's not having vinegar was not her fault. As a former restaurant owner, I would hire her for my place.
