"I made a reservation for my family to celebrate Father's day to celebrate the two men in my life who have been great fathers. We were seated very quickly and put in an area with a few other families. This place is usually noisy, so the volume wasn't too bad. We were able to order our food and not wait too long for it to be delivered. My four-year-old was able to behave and not be too distracted by the noise or the wait for food. The waiter we had was rather nice, and I thank the restaurant for being accommodating for the Father's Day special request. The one thing I keep forgetting is how expensive this place can get if you're not careful, so be mindful of that when you come with a group."

"We had a WONDERFUL evening at Bucca Di Beppo! Our wine was great! Food was delicious! Our server was outstanding! And I must give a shout out to the manager Travis! We were going to see Wicked after dinner and he had attended the night before. He came over to speak with us individually and really made us feel welcome and excited about our entire evening! I was taking my daughter for her 21st birthday so this was also the FIRST time I had ever shared a glass of wine with her at dinner. The wine was wonderful!"

"Family, Friends, Fresh, Fabulous! First trip to a Buca di Beppo and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Celebrated this generations 1st high school graduation with Four Generations of family. Our table was filled with laughter, family and love. Perfect setting with spectacular personalized service. Our server was outstanding and perhaps the best part of the entire experience. Food was served hot, tasty and plentiful even with FOUR hungry boys in our party. Will certainly think of Buca di Beppo the next time we want to eat out and enjoy an ambience as intimate as my own dining room table. Highly recommend!"

"First time at Buca, made reservations for a bachelor/bachelorette party. The fun began as we stepped foot in the restaurant. Wait staff was fun, friendly, and made us feel like we were the only ones there. Food was outstanding. Great experience and time had by all. BTW, the wait staff even did "the cupid shuffle" upon our request....awesome!. **Best.Restautrant.Ever**"

"I really had high expectations when told about the restuarant. I love the appearance of the Italian styled restuarant but the food was not good at all, it just didnt give me the Italian flavor that I was looking for, and this was my first visit here and I was not impressed at all and will not be returning.. Thank you."

"Would go back. The food was good. Took quite a while to get the actual entree, even though the waiter kept coming over and saying that "it will be right out". Unfortunately we were sat next to a table of screaming children, but that couldn't really be foreseen as they weren't screaming when we were sat. Walking through the kitchen is weird, makes me concerned bout sanitation issues. Would probably go back."

"It was our first time at Buca...the food was abundant and hard to decide what to have because they have such an extensive selection...we order 4 different dishes all that were amazing; especially the ravioli. Wow, we can't wait for our next trip. We went with friends and had an amazing time. The chocolate cake is not only huge; it is to die for....it's a must have!!
Our server Isaac was great; he had a great personality and took really good care of us!!

"This was my second time every dining at Buca and it was just as I remembered it: wonderful. The food is exquisite, the service is fantastic and the place itself just adds on to its greatness. The environment is always fun and exciting! Might be a little heavy on your pocket but certainly well worth every penny!"

"Had our son's graduation dinner at Buca di Beppo! It couldn't have been a better choice! Everyone loved the "Kitchen Table" and the wait staff, while extremely busy, went out of their way to join our celebration. The food was out of this world and delivered quickly. Despite the crowd, everything was hot and flavorful and there was no skimping!"

"i brought three women who never leave Hocking County and they were blown away. They loved the food. They are not adventurous eaters and this may have changed their lives for ever. They are talking about the great salad and chicken today. I knew it was a place that picky eaters and those with a refined taste would be able to find something to satisfy them. Plus I could get a much needed large glass of wine."

"I visited Buca Di Beppo for the first time and heard quite a bit of how nice it would be. I was very shocked at how bad it was. I went for prom and most people loved it and said it was great, I must have had the wrong waitress. My waitress was friendly and I could tell busy so I was in no mood to complain about how my calamari and bread was cold and not very well plated. I ordered shrimp fettuccine that came late and was brought through a small window pane by my table. The pasta was decent but wasn't what I intended it to be at all. The night felt long due to our long wait for the check and her constant forgetfulness of our food. I hope it could be better next time and if not I will never spend my money there again."

"The initial contact by the waitress was quick and our main meal came out quicker than we expected. After we were served, ate and ordered dessert, it took quite a long time before we received our dessert and the containers for the leftovers.
The food was very good and so was the atmosphere although it was rather noisy."

"Was not aware it was family style and everything came for 2 or 4. We had to spend a lot more due to my husband and I not liking the same things. Also we went with a couple for our anniversary and had coupon but you would only honor one. The food was not great, something I could have done at home."

"I made a reservation many many hours in advance and asked to sit in the Cardinal room. Since there was only three of us, I didn't want to sit next to a loud party of 30 people. When I arrived, I was told that there was a party coming into the cardinal room an hour and a half from the time of my reservation so I wouldn't be able to sit in there. I wasn't called in advance, wasn't even given an apology. The hostess was very rude and nasty about it. I was then seated in the bar in a broken booth where we had to move to a other booth.
The shrimp diavolo was very al dente. We had to send it back. By the time we got another one, we were finished with our food. The chicken limone was dry.

"Perfect for anyone going to an event at Nationwide arena as long as you're not looking for really good food. No sauce on the spaghetti or rigatoni, had to order a side dish of it."

"I really don't like going out for Italian but Buca is a cut above the rest. I would have given this review 5*'s if they would not have run out of fried cheese....Really never ever let this happen!!!! There is no excuse for it. It was Easter and I asked if they had been busy and they said no!!! That is poor management of whoever does the ordering."

"The server,Cody, was the best part of the experience. The food was okay at best 2 of our 4 thought it was bland and the shrimp was overcooked. $2.75 is crazy for soda. We spent over $10 just on soda. I am not trying to be cheap but it isnt the airport, how about a reasonably priced soda. At least the service was great.
As a side not we went again the following day in Cincinnati (Norwood) and the food and service were good.

"The food here is always good and fresh. We love the portion sizes as we always have plenty of left overs for the next day. The place was very busy and it took our server a while to greet our table and get drink orders. Then they were out of Mt Dew and kids had to pick something else, no big deal really. This place is really loud, which was fine when our toddler was making a lot of noise, it was not noticeable."

"Predictable but good food in huge servings. Service is excellent and friendly. Great place for either a couple having a first date or a large family reunion. My apple Gorgonzola salad was OK but their limited salad dressing choices are not great. My husbands chicken, ziti and sausage with rosa sauce was excellent."

"Wine list was disappointing, especially having only two Cabernet choices. The green salad had a very strong "pepper" flavor. If you are a pepper lover you will like it but if not...go w/ the Caesar salad!
Service was okay, not great. Had they been super busy this would have been more understandable.

"We happened to choose the day that a DECA competition was going on downtown and hundreds of teens were coming to Buca to also eat. We were nervous about the quality of service but couldn't have been more pleased. Not only was our waiter quick & efficient but several other waiters stopped by to ask if we needed refills. Considering the high volume of groups there, we really enjoyed our time there thanks to an efficient staff who were willing to help not just their tables but any table that had needs."
