⭐️ 1 Star I had a very disappointing experience at Buca di Beppo. The service was incredibly slow and inattentive, and to make matters worse, there was no air conditioning — the restaurant was uncomfortably hot the entire time. This is absolutely not the kind of environment I would ever bring work clients to again. Unfortunately, this visit was enough to ensure I won’t be returning.

We went for our 13yr old’s birthday lunch and it wasn’t mentioned at all and I had to ask for a dessert for her birthday. The reservation said it was for a birthday. 🤔 That was my ONLY issue. Food was excellent as always.

Everything was fabulous! We highly recommend! Our waiter gave us good advice that the portions are extremely large and shareable so it’s really a good value. Save room for dessert! The colossal brownie sundae is more than enough for four people to share and is delicious!

Unfortunately we feel like we overpaid incredibly for what we received. Truly such a disappointment. We realized after we had ate there that there was a family of 4 meal for $40, add a second pasta dish for another $10. We weren’t informed about this and missed it when we were reviewing the menus. $150 meal (before tip) for exactly what we ordered was exactly what was offered for their family of four special for $50. Our mistake but would have been nice to be informed by our server who did a great job otherwise.

This was a bad experience from the beginning. The first room had no AC so we moved to the bar room. We had ordered a drink when we were seated and then salads a bit later. The drinks did not come for 25 minutes after our salads were served. Upon receiving the check I asked to speak to the manager and suggested he would remove the drinks. He told me not possible. I indicated I would note this in my review. He then offered 2 canollois to go but that was not viable given our schedule.

Most of our food came out cold, our group sent several things back. My feet stuck to the floor… which was carpeted. Bathrooms were disgusting. Have significant doubts the kitchen is clean.

I understand the rush especially on Memorial day weekend, I myself am a server. But to not greet your table of 2 for 10 mins and only get them drinks is absurd. We saw our server at least 10 times before he got our order and even then didn’t put it in right away. Our server asked us if we want bread for the table(did not tell us the price) so we 100% assumed it was free just like bread at Texas Roadhouse. We got our appetizer after we got our entree. We got our bill and the bread was $19. We also asked if they have a military discount, Our server and bartender then gave snappy attitude answer saying no they don’t like it was a horrible thing to ask.
