Buca di Beppo serves authentic Italian cuisine in an eclectic, vintage setting. Our dishes are served family-style, meant to be shared by everyone at the table. Two sizes are available: BUCA SMALL feeds up to two and BUCA LARGE feeds up to four. At Buca, guests delight in our lively atmosphere, enjoy the classic tunes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and admire our décor, including family photos and candid shots of Italian-American icons, such as Sophia Loren and Joe DiMaggio. Our energetic atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff make Buca di Beppo the perfect place for great Italian food and fun.
"The reservation system worked and we were seated right away. The restaurant was very crowded & tables were quite close together. The waitress was busy but didn't seem organized. We had to remind her to do things on several occasions. She disappeared for long periods and at one point argued with us about the service and still didn't get it right.The food was tasty and well portioned. The veal was a little tough and should be tenderized first. the chicken in the pasta seemed to be processed instead of freshly cooked. We appreciated that the restaurant accommodated our request to bring our own cake and served it and even sung Happy Birthday to our grandson. Overall our experience was fun and we ate well, therefore, we'd say it was a good time."

"I took a friend who had never been here before and with little forethought asked for the "kitchen table". For those who have never experienced this- DO IT!! The vibe is so different from the rest of the dining room. The head chef let us tast a few menu items for fun and you are basically part of the tour for all the patrons being seated after you. Great experience!! Grea food!! My friend was astonished by the personable people and great food."

"the overall experience was less than what I expected: the dinner included 4 people. On the positive side, the food was very good, and our waiter did try to be as accommodating as he could. However, on the negative side, there were many factors that detracted from the experience: 1) the waiter seemed overextended and was sweating profusely from going up and down the stairs. His demeanor was nice, however, it appeared as if there was not enough staff to accommodate the dinner rush and thus he was slow and missed some of our requests. 2) it took two trips to get all the drinks and while we asked to have all the entrees served at one, one of them was served ahead of time. I think the waiter tried his best. the waiter was overextended."

"Dinner was good. They brought the kids' food out a bit after bringing everything else out. That was the one downside. But it was a fun place to eat. :)"

"The evening I went to Buca di Bepo, I went with one other person. We ordered the small portion of spaghetti with meat sauce and a mixed greens salad. The restaurant allowed us to substitute penne pasta for spaghetti, which was great. When the food arrived at our table, there was enough food for three people. We ended up taking some of the pasta home with us. The restaurant was a little noisy and very family oriented. Would be a great place to celebrate family birthdays or graduations."

"My family and I had a wonderful time. I've been to Bucas plenty of times but I never took my kids alone. This time we went after my sons graduation. We had a really nice waitress. She made sure our cups stayed full and she had awesome customer service. Can't wait till our next visit."

"Booked our Mother's Day dinner two weeks in advance and when we arrived, they sat us right away.
The food comes in ridiculously large portions, so much so, that it's really best to go there with a group of 4 to 6 at least, so you can share plates.
The food is good, but not amazing. The salmon sat in a puddle of butter and oil, which was not appealing. The Salmon tasted all right, but the excess butter was not needed. My wife ordered a salad and they forgot to bring the chicken breast with it, which took an extra 10 min to bring to the table. Not a huge deal, but still, it was Mother's Day and of all the meals to have a problem with it had to be the mom at the table."

"Go for lunch during the week. Weekends they charge dinner price. Took my mom for Mother's Day and it cost $68.00 excluding drinks and tip for just the two of us. Chicken saltinboca (spelling?) was excellent."

"There needs to be some options for dining during the reservation portion, such as bar area or no bar area. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time. We assumed that we would be seated upstairs. We were taken to a table in the bar, and we stated we prefered to be seated upstairs. We were told to have an upstairs table, we would have to wait another 45 min. What was the benefit to having the reservations?"

"We had a family dinner and it was a complete success! From the scrumptious salads, tasty bread and fabulous entrees. Everyone was very pleased with their meals. Our wait staff was excellent! We decided that night we will have Buca di Beppo cater our daughter's graduation party and we are going to request we have our same servers we had on our visit! Excellent!"

"We have been to several Buca locations. The Arrowhead, Phoenix was the best yet...not too loud, good service and great food. We dined at 5pm on Sunday...so the dining room was not yet packed."

"We waited a very long time for our food, which wasn't a big deal to us, the problem was that we were freezing while waiting. We asked our server about the air as did the other 2 tables around us. I understand keeping the area cool for everyone's comfort but this was over the top. We heard the other table discussing not having desert because they had to get out of there to warm up. I had a light jacket in the car, as did my son but we were still freezing. We did order desert (I wanted my son to try the brownie sundae) but the table next to us had the right idea...it was way too cold to eat it, so we left most of it. The tempature just ruined our meal, it made it very unenjoyable :("

"It is a good restaurant for groups. We were there on Easter Sunday and the restaurant was very busy. I requested a table that was a little quieter (we had some elderly guests with us that can't hear well in loud places). They accommodated our request and the table was perfect. We were seated within a few minutes of arriving. Our waitress was wonderful and took very good care of us."

"Our food was the good, but the ambiance was not so good. The temperature inside the restaurant was warm. My poor husband was HOT throughtout our whole meal, as was myself. We ended up leaving early and took our food home to enjoy later..."

"It was a busy night, but seemed since we had a party of 9, that since the gratuity was included automatically that the service was not all that fantastic. Of our 4adults/5 children party there were many times our drinks were empty and we had to "hunt down " additional silverware, napkins and plates. We had to ask 4 times for a to go box. For a bill that was over $200, without alcohol, that seems a bit absurd."

"The food had a lot to be desired. The sauces were as bland as you could get, definitely tasted like right out of the can. You may get quantity with some menu choices, but the quality is not up to par for the price. The pizza was overpriced for what you get. Very disappointing, will not return."

"It took over an hour and a half to get our food. Our appetizers came out wrong and the server did little to accommodate. I was really disappointed I used to be a server so I always cut them some slack but this was unacceptable."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The portions were perfect for two people and the preparation and presentation was outstanding.
Our waitress was courteous and very knowledgeable about explaining our questions about some of the entrees.
We were particularly impressed that the manager came to our table, inquired as to how our meal had been, and then cleared our table of the remaining dishes. Talk about teamwork and leading by example!!!!
We definitely will be back."

"Served family style like home. Order a few different plates, shared among everyone in your party. Dishes come in group sizes. Italian indoor home atmosphere Italian memorabilia all over the walls. It's not quiet, it's Italian. Went there for a birthday celebration, they sing. If you join their club online, they send you coupons and they give birthday person free birthday dessert. Nice time, like home, minus you cooking yourself. Good Italian food."
