"My family and I always loved coming to Bucca because of variety of delicious Italian dishes. The price are so reasonably affordable and the portions are extremely plenty that we always end- up taking back home for another meal or two.. Staff are very friendly and accomadating. The place is very clean and feels like you're home.. Thank you Bucca!!"

"The food was excellent, two of us had the apple cheese salad and a small vegetarian Pizza. Eventhough, we had been to Buca di Beppo before, the waitress told us the small portions were good for two people. She was right. We had an excellent experience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone anytime."

"I was recommended to Buca by a co-worker who dines here often. I was glad I went there because the food was great and the place was nice and quiet. The place was kid friendly and the waitress was really nice. The thing I like most about this place is the family style dining. This allows for being able to share with the rest of the family and we can enjoy the same foods."

"We had a 4 for $40 coupon, so had dinner with another couple. The waitress seemed a little put off that we were using the coupon, but other than that, the service was fine. Nothing special, salad, bread and pasta, but it was tasty. It was loud in the restaurant, but not so much that we couldn't enjoy our conversation."

"Buca di Beppo is a lot of fun for a large group as food is served family style. We went for dinner during an off-site business meeting. We had a vegetarian and a gluten intolerant person in our group, and still had no problem finding a selection of entrees that made everyone happy. Portions are generous and the price is right. The gorgonzola salad dressing is super yummy!"

"Buca is always a great treat. My wife and I like to treat our 3 children here on special occasions but only for special occasions because your prices are EXTREMELY high. Too high a price to spend on my family of 5 for dinner at any one time more than once or twice. If there were "family specials" or a type of family style combo where it was more affordable for families on a budget (name a family who isn't concerned about $) we would eat there more than a time or 2 per year.
I spent $150 on 3 small entrees, 3 appertizers
Although we would end up spending a lot more money/year at Buca it would be a lot less shocking each time the bill comes and therefore the concern of over-spending the monthly budget would be less. Less shock = more vis"

"Had a reservation for 7:30. Did not get seated until 8:15. What is the point in having a reservation system if we were seated in the same amount of time as a walk in. We had a group that included several children who were getting very impatient. Hostess seemed to be put out and incredulous that we actually expected that a reservation meant something. Once seated, the servers were good. However, the actual process of getting seated as well as the attitude of the hostess convinced me not to come here again."
