Great meal - great service. I love the portion size as I always have leftovers.

Food is disgusting. What Italian restaurant messes up spaghetti and meatballs? Won’t be back.
We are sorry to hear this and want to get in touch.
Great food. Pricey but worth it. Fun and festive atmosphere. Great service too.
Thank you for choosing Buca di Beppo. We appreciate you for taking the time to review our restaurant.
We have loved this place, however the quality of the food has decreased over the years. What was phenomenal, has reduced to mediocre. I’ll go here again, but it’s not a regular anymore. Sad.
We apologize your meal did not meet your expectations. Our guests' feedback is highly valuable to us and will be shared with our management team in an effort to improve future guest experiences. Thank you for reaching out to us.
Buca just isn’t a place that makes sense for 2 people to dine at. Also the Ziti is dry and flavorless. The Chicken Parmigiana is very good tho. Everything ala cart and too much food for 2 people and too expensive. I was thankful they were open late on Christmas day. It was a nice if expensive experience overall.
We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you at your nearest Buca di Beppo soon!
Extremely overpriced for the food quality. Everything is family style and if anyone has food restrictions or is picky you are stuck paying 3 (small) or 5 (large) times a typical menu item for each salad, appetizer, entree, pasta.....) since only family portions are able to be ordered. Doesn’t matter if only 1 person can eat an ordered item, you receive and pay for either 3 or r of each item. The spaghetti and meatballs had hardly any sauce (didn’t look like the website photo) and was super dry with no sauce. Antipasto salad had virtually no meat or cheese. We joked when one of us actually found a small morsel. Haven’t been here in a number of years and it came back to me why we stayed away. Will not be returning.
we regret to hear that your meal was not up to our usual standards. We appreciate that you have taken the time to write to us and will share this experience with our management team in an effort to improve future guest experiences. Thank you for reaching out to us.
Understandably the food took an hour and a half but when it came out it wasn’t the normal quality. The salad was just lettuce (horribly cut, or not cut). The spaghetti Barely had sauce and meatballs were BURNT ( After 1 1/2 hour waiting from ordering). We ate it as we were starved and couldn’t wait hours more. Sad dinner.
Took our 90 plus Mom’s to Christmas dinner and had a wonderful time. Everything was great! Like going to an Italian Grandma’s house for dinner! Warm and friendly atmosphere.
Thank you! We look forward to welcoming you back to Buca di Beppo soon!
The waiter was strangely irritating

I came as a single customer on Thanksgiving. My reservation was at 6:30PM. I came at 6:15PM and was seated around 6:35PM. I was told I was ineligible to have their Thanksgiving feast because I was a single diner, unless I wanted to pay for their minimum of 3 diners. (I guess that forces couples to overpay too, I nice corporate gimmick to take more of your money.) OK, I told them, I'll have the pizza from menu they gave me. I ordered a beer and a glass of red wine to have when the pizza came. At 7:35 the waitress apologized for the long wait and that my order would be ready in 5-10 minutes. At 8:00PM, still no food, so I left with a half-drunk beer without paying for the privilege of being ignored at the restaurant. Luckily, the McDonald's a block away was open, so that was my Thanksgiving Day feast. I would rather die of starvation in the desert that go back to that fricking place.
Had us a nice family meal for thanksgiving. Didn’t have the thanksgiving menu but the pasta and chicken Parmesan was awesome and there was so much food! Everyone loved the breadsticks
We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you at your nearest Buca di Beppo soon!

We appreciate you sharing such complimentary feedback about Derrek. Join us again soon!
Paris was our server and she was amazing ..great dinning experience!!
We appreciate you sharing such wonderful feedback about Paris! We look forward to serving you again soon!
Was great with the family. Ordered to much food but all was very good
Only two things that were somewhat disappointing...the chicken marsala was way too sweet, it was not that sweet when I had it the last couple times I was there. Also, we ordered the lasagna and didn't get advised that there was none (at 1 in the afternoon in an Italian restaurant!), so my brother in law, who just wanted the lasagna, ordered mac and cheese instead. We were pretty much finished eating when it finally arrived (it was quite runny, but flavor was OK). This was a little disappointing, but overall we had a good experience. This was everyone else's first time there.
You need at least 3 people to eat as the portions are HUGE. The Brownie Sundae could feed 4 easily.
Waitress was very kind and accommodating to kids requests
Alias is wonderful
Always smiling and very accommodating
We had Christmas Eve reservations and the salad and bread were promptly delivered but the meal took forever. To the point we had to ask and the server apologized but had no real reason. Food was good but took way tooo long.
Delicious!!!
The food was fair. For what it costs to feed 5 people, there are far better options for Italian food.
Entire staff was fantastic, restaurant was clean, only complaint would be veal slightly overdone
The service was great and the food was good. Very clean and environment . We had a wonderful and friendly waitress
Waitress was great, but the food took FIREVER!! Kids meals came out at different times over a 30 minute period?? They were not busy at all, and the adults waited over an hour but never got our meals.. and we’d ordered spaghetti & meat balls!!
Not sure what was going on in the kitchen?? But after I told our waitress we had to leave the manager took care of us and got some of our food to go.
Yikes!
The food was so good! We didn’t expect family style but it just made it more fun and an experience. The restaurant is so cool on the inside! Lots of different rooms. Our server was very nice and stayed on top of things even though you could tell they were short staffed. We will definitely come back!
Good meal at a fair price. Good for big family events.
Never disappointment in the service, the quality of the food and the overall experience. Not my first time and it won't be my last. Thank you!
Maybe 5 tables in the resto. We have been to Buco x3. I forgot it was family style. We were in a hotel 2 nights away from home. It was just my wife and I. We ordered drinks and the waitress told us it was chicken parmigiana with no spaghetti. With Caesar salads. The bill would have been north of $70. We said we would leave after drinks.
The waitress said no we could order off the lunch menu complete with salads. Dinner and drinks for thirty bucks more doable. Buco needs to do single meals, I realize their offerings are built on “family style” but, the times are changing. With 6 cars in the parking lot they need to rethink their business model.
Great place to take the family for some delicious Italian. Awesome wait staff and prices were good. Plenty of leftovers for home
Thank you, Kristen! We are happy to hear how much you enjoy dining with us at Buca di Beppo! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Busiest restaurant day of the year? Our server was calm and collected. Orders (drinks and food) were taken promptly and everything was served with a good pace. I never felt we were waiting too long for anything.
Only complaint is that we had to wait nearly 30 minutes after our reservation time to be seated.
We will definitely return.
My first time having lunch there and it was really good!
Great food, service and experience. Had enough leftovers to have lunch the next day.
I used to love this place, but so disappointed at my last visit. Pasta was overcooked and noises had extra water left in them, made sauce ruby and very bland. Garlic bread had huge chunks of garlic, so much so it made the bread basically inedible. It's just so sad that a fun restaurant the whole family used to love is a thing of the past we went be returning to
Appetizers were great. Portions for huge. Sangria was nice. We had to send glasses back as they were dirty. But overall a good experience.
We had a nice family dinner at Buca. All of our food was hot, except for our spaghetti. Our server quickly resolved the issue and we enjoyed the evening.
We were seated quickly. Food was good. Took over an hour to get food!
The booth in which we were seated had food crusted on the back. I had to move close to the edge of the seat so that I didn't touch it with my back. The stuffed mushroom appetizer was literally a joke. It was 12 small button mushrooms with some mysterious white mixture on top. I can't believe I spent that much on an appetizer of poor quality. The drinks tasted watered down and they were served in warm glasses. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience and waste of money. I understand why it was the only place in town without a wait on a Saturday night.
Terrible! We arrived early because we where in the area, there where 2 people at the podium who where unfriendly. Told us we would be seated in a half hour is the best they could do. Which was fine. So I told her we would go to the bar and have a cocktail while we wait. She told us we couldn’t, the bar tender was to busy to serve us because he was waiting on that room plus the drinks. So we sat back down and waited, then a couple came in 15 min after us with no reservations, put their names in and went and sat at the bar. So we followed and again she told us we couldn’t go sit at the bar, but did anyway. The couple who arrived after us got seated before us and when we questioned it we where told we needed to wait 15 more min until our reservation time. Then we where sat at the table behind us in the bar area. I do have to say the bartender did a great job keeping us happy even though it was sweetest day and he was the only one scheduled in that room. I don’t think we will be returning to this location after this meal. We live in the area and go here on a regular basis, each time it gets worse. This was the last straw , the hostess it the first person to greet guests as they walk in, they should be friendly and want customers to spend money. Not rude and turning people away.
