Food was excellent. Took them a little time to get us seated in spite of reservation and table being ready and a bit longer to get us the correct number of plates and cutlery. But we had a wonderful time and will surely come back again.

If you want mediocre, mass produced, italian food in huge quantity then this is your place.

Wonderful server and a great atmosphere. Our food was amazing and the cocktails were as well. I would recommend the pizza and all of the other wonderful sides. We were very happy when they came out to sing Happy Birthday to our guest of honor!

Mother’s Day! Had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and very patient. We will definitely return!

Family style good for families and we always come here with 11 for holidays!! Open air dining on a nice day by Lake Union can”t be beat...😎

Reliable Italian food served up within a backdrop of history and Italian culture. We love it here.

Our waiter even though very friendly, was very inattentive.
The restaurant was not busy.
He did not clear our appetizer plates, and we sat with dirty plates in front of us for at least a half an hour.
We did not see him after he dropped our appetizers off.
The next time we saw him was a half an hour later when he dropped off our dinner, and he had to juggle clearing dirty dishes, and serving our dinners.
It was my daughters birthday, and I booked the restaurant because they make a big deal about singing happy birthday.
Our waiter brought a scoop of ice cream over and sat it in front of my daughter, no song, so we had to ask if she could be sung to.
Other people were celebrating all around us, and were all being sung to. They had other waiters, that I guess cared about their customers more.
Just very disappointed with our experience.

We had a wonderful anniversary meal here with another couple. The restaurant was clean and the staff very careful about following Covid protocols. We ate upstairs which was nice and quiet and less crowded. Food was delicious with plenty to take home.

It took 40 minutes to get appetizers and we had to ask to even order our main course, the main course took so long we actually had them box it up to go because it got so late. We didn’t get refills on the drinks after asking for them. The table next to us had similar issues. We were of course understanding if the kitchen was slow or they were short staffed, but the waiter brushed off our concerns and didn’t apologize.

Fluffy gave us the best service during our stay in Seattle. Thanks!

Wonderful service and wonderful food

I love it! FAVORITE ITALIAN for Spaghetti and Meatballs!

If you like Italian food, served in a fun atmosphere, you should try Buca. This has been a family favorite of ours for many years.

The food is authentic and plentiful. The service is friendly and efficient and the décor is unique.

Give it a try.

Great family restaurant and fun staff!

Server was very kind and super talkative and the food was absolutely brilliant

The food was great . Our table was ready when we arrived. Service was great . We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner.

Valentine’s Day— while other restaurants decided to close due to the winter storm, thank you for being open and serving your patrons with a smile and great service. Excellent service and great food with plenty of leftover to take back home to the kiddos!

Restaurant needs to update their information. Restaurant was closed for outdoor seating.

It was my girlfriends birthday night and it was our first time there. The server was wonderful, food was absolutely what we were looking for! They sang for her and all.

Great food and service.

First time, will return. Great chill restaurant, with a great staff and food!

Valentine’s Day. They were over booked and we for our reservation did not get our food until 10 pm. Super cold and it took about 45 min to get water after we were seated. The food once we got it hours after we had been seated was ok. This was not a great Valentine’s Day date plus we missed reservations to play mini golf due to us not eating in the time frame we planned.

Went here for Valentine’s Day and had a great time with my girlfriend.
The service was pretty good and overall it was nice.
We ordered a pizza and it was good,
But if I go back then I am going to order pasta instead because I think they make
That better.

We came up for Valentine’s Day dinner. Everyone was very friendly, professional and courteous. The food, however, was less impressive. The lasagna was tasteless and so disappointing as I had my heart set on some good lasagna.

Great dinner!

Best time here! Bartender Paul personable, efficient and fun!! Love him.

We arrived for a reservation 10 min early and host said we will seat you now and to step to side and he would get to us. A minute later said it is too chaotic and he would seat us closer to our reservation time. All while seating walk-ins with no reservation. We were the only ones there at host stand when we arrived.

We got seated and ordered shortly thereafter. Ordered salad, entree, garlic bread, and a kids spaghetti with meat sauce. 30 min later we received kids pasta x 2. One with marinara and another with meat sauce. Another 20 minutes later we received our salad. 15 min later the garlic bread came and then the long wait for our entree. 40 minutes. The waiter came by our table and said man it had been awhile but it’s coming right out. He said that 3 times. He made a joke that you have been here so long all your ice melted in your drink. Not funny...

The bill comes and he charged us for two kids pasta. Only one child. So all in all it was not a great experience. I have been to Buca several times but this experience will keep us from coming back.

My friends and I had a ladies night and it was perfect! The family sharing portions were more than enough, and the service was excellent (shoutout to Jordy!) Will be back again. Thanks Buca if Seattle :-)

Celebrated New Years Eve 2020 at Buca do Beppo with my adult kids and bf’s. Love the family style dining! Was difficult to pick what to get because they offer tons of yummy options! Fun atmosphere with a great view of South Lake Union. Can’t wait to go back!

Our service was completely poor! My BF asked for a glass of wine. He received it 45 minutes later after talking to the manager. We sat and waited 1 hour & 45 min before out food was served and that was also after we got the manager involved. We received the wrong pizza after waiting that long. This pizza was for our kids, too & they waited that long and never got to eat it. Our waitress was slow & never refilled our waters. This was my birthday celebration & New Years with my family & friends. I made reservations well in advance. We will not suggest this restaurant to anyone & will not return. The worst service we’ve ever had dining out!

It was my 40th birthday celebration dinner with friends. We were all excited for the evening and to start the night off we planned dinner at Buca di Beppo for a group of 10. We had a nice area, but the service and food was less than what should be expected, even for a busy night. They forgot the birthday table sign and when reminded still never brought it. The server nice enough but not attentive and seemed to be gone more than he was there. We saw random staff more than we saw him. One of the wait staff help, was rude to one of my guests when they asked for a soda refill. Some of our guests finished their entrees before others even got their appetizers. My food came out 15 minutes after the rest of my group was almost finished eating. Our entrees were not very good and usually the food is outstanding. It was really a disappointing evening to such a special day for me.

Food was marginal and overpriced for quality. Our server was flippant and insulted us. This was not a great experience.

This used to be place to go with a group and have a good time. Now, not so much!!

We arrived on Saturday evening with our group of 9 and were told after we ordered our drinks that they, the " .. Italian Restaurant", were out of, guess what, Meat Balls and Lasagna.

The whole place was slammed and the service was overwhelmed. Service was slow and even after we had finished our meal and the side room we were seated in was virtually empty our dirty dishes remained for a very long time. When our waiter, and the manager, finally returned and offered to comp some desserts to make up for the Meat Ball/Lasagna fiasco some of our group optioned to 'take a dessert home' but even after that was delivered it became impossible to 1) get a bill presented and 2) pay the bill. No waiter, no body at the cashier station.

All in all it was a very poor 2 1/2 hour experience and a disappointment to find a place that has been a Seattle, as well as national chain for many years to have been run so poorly at the height of the holiday season.

We ate at Buca di Beppo for our Christmas dinner with our kids. It was good, they were very busy due to the holiday but we were able to have our meal and dessert within a reasonable time period. We were near the Pope room upstairs. The location of the restaurant is not far from the Space Needle.

We went for Christmas dinner. We didn’t know there would be a shortened menu, so none of the things we wanted to order were available. As it was Christmas, we decided to stay because we weren’t sure we’d find another restaurant where we could eat.
The food was so tasteless, my six year old wouldn’t even eat the cheese pizza. My fettuccine was awful. My eight year old enjoyed his plain pasta with salt and butter, so there was that.
Our waiter was excellent. He tried to keep us engaged and he was kind to the boys. We didn’t make a fuss because the poor guy was working on Christmas, but we won’t be returning.

Highly recommend the spicy shrimp dishes, both the appetizer and the pasta meal. We made the mistake of not ordering the first time we were asked and it took awhile for the waitress to return. When we were finally able to order we asked for our complimentary bread and never received it. It took about 20 minutes between the time we FINISHED the appetizer to when we received the main courses. We were done eating and sat there for another 15 minutes before anyone noticed us. If we weren’t honest people they would have eaten a $115 bill.
Food is great though.

Family style eating, more than enough food

For 5 of us ended up with LOTS of food even though the smaller portions. So we had another dinner to take home
Always fun to share pasta dishes. Had the mussels for appetizer. Great service by Fluffy.

Food was average and well overpriced. Definitely not a restaurant for a small group unless you want a lot of leftovers of mediocre “Italian” food or everyone wants just one dish. Meh.

Food was good, but food took very long to come out. Our appetizer did not make it out until we were signing the bill. They did remove it from the bill though.
