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.
"We arrive a little early foor our reservation time and they worked quickly to seat us. There were four of us so what ever we ordered it was going to be more food than we could eat but that is part of the fun. We ordered veal parm, eggplant parm and pasta and meat balls. On a scale of one to ten we would all give it tens!!!! The service was very good and quick. What ever we needed was brought to us as quick as we asked and the drinks were refilled without asking. What was most impressive was that all of this occured on a very busy day!!"

"My experience at Bucca di Beppo's for Mother's Day 2013 was likely one of the three worst restaurant experiences I've had in my life, and at the age of 50, that's saying a lot. How bad was the experience? I believe this was the first time in my life my family and I left the restaurant without waiting for our food to arrive. This happened after we waited one hour for our food AFTER ordering, and then we were informed by our waiter that we were #10 in line for the chef's to prepare our meal, essentially meaning we would not see our entree's for at least another 30-45 minutes. Not the memorable type of Mother's Day experience my friend and I were hoping for with our wives. Just awful. Thank you, Carabbas, for coming through that night!"

"I tried to surprise my wife for Mother's Day by taking her to her favorite restaurant, Buca di Beppo in Brandon, FL, which is over an hour from where we live. We waited for over an hour and a half to receive our entree (which we did not mind waiting that long as we were having such a good time talking and enjoying the atmosphere without our 15 month old son). No sooner did my wife's spoon hit the platter to start to divvy up our delicious meal, the fire alarm went off and we were told to evacuate immediately and we had to leave without getting a single bite. Your staff was very kind and caring and made sure that our safety was their number one concern."

"Last Friday, May 3rd was a team luncheon that our group does the 1st Friday of every month. Just happened that it was also one of our team member's last day with us. Therefore, this was a double celebration. The service was good and the food was good by all except for (2). Their orders were wrong. One order was corrected and the other order which was the fritta still was wrong. I was the one that received the wrong order. However, the waiter did come to me to let me know what had occurred and offered to bring me something different. By that time majority of the team had finished their meal and I was turned off."

"The restaraunt is always a fun atmosphere with great food. Every single staff member you walk by says hello and makes you feel at home. We had a family gathering and everyone loved the food and our waiter."

"This visit to Buca was below our expectations. The service was slow and unattentive. The pizza we ordered was definitely not worth what we paid for it. I'm not sure we will return based on this visit."

"Eclectic decor, lots of fun to look at pictures and memorabilia. Chicken Saltimbocca was a standout dish (should have ordered the large portion), but everything we had was excellent. We were there on Easter Sunday and altho it was very busy, everything went very smoothly. Fun and great food in the Frank Sinatra Booth."

"I enjoyed my visit to "Buca" right from the reservation, which, by the way, I made via my phone. It was simple and yet thorough. I called on the day of the reservation to say I was running early and wanted to "up" my reservation to an hour earlier which put it at the 6 oclock hour and yet the person on the phone was very accommodating. We were greated immediately upon entering and were given the tour with a new bit of trivia we did not know. We then proceeded to a most wonderful dinner experience. Thank you very much."

"we were there for a small family gathering - and had a wonderful time. one in the group has serious problems with salt and the chef went out of his way to make sure she had food that was not only salt-free, but delicious. The waiter was VERY attentive and did a wonderful job."

"We had a reservation, checked in and waited for about 20 minutes until noticing two booths sitting empty. At that point I checked back in and mentioned the booths and then we were seated. We then waited another 15 minutes for menus. Once we got menus all was good but the manager seemed to be missing in action. Will definitely return though because we love BDB!"

"Went here for lunch. First off, didn't get a lunch menu. Second, the waitress was really nosey and annoying. She was bar-tending as well, but had no other customers. Very inattentive. Was more concerned talking to the other girl on her shift about how she doesn't normally work this shift. We won't be back for lunch."

"The garlic bread and Buca salad are to die for! But we did not like the chicken and sausage pasta. Too much pasta and not enough meat. The restaurant temperature was too cold."

"Waitress was inattentive. Service was super slow. There were 5 of us for lunch. It took 30 minutes to receive our meals. Last time for me to go here. Sad as this is such a cute restaurant. Make sure you have plenty of time and don't go on your lunch break."

"This was the worst Italian food i have ever had. I ordered Veal Marsala, something that is one of my favorites and it was awful. I make a better one. The service was terrible, we asked 3 times for bread, our salad came and we had no plates to eat it off of, then he NEVER cleared the salad plates they sat on the table in a pile until we were finished with our food, which we also had no plates for after the food sat on the table for 3 minutes. The pasta dish we ordered was not even made correctly."

"Great food, kid friendly, awesome service, conversation pieces all over the wall, over all this was a great place to take our family to. Our server Jeff stayed on his game the whole time and was great with the kids. The food is awesome and served in family size portions so, it may seem a bit $$ but, you'll have a ton of leftovers to take home. We found our new family dinning spot :)"
