"We have eaten at this restaurant on several other occasions. One of the reasons we chose to eat there on Mother's day was the $20 in future dining that was offered. We made a reservation and seating was handled swiftly. I am concerned that we are frequently seated in the bar at this restaurant even though we dine with a young child. We were never offered bread even though all the tables surrounding us were. Additionally, we were never spoken to about the $20 certificates for Mother's, even though they were discussed with others dining around us. Our waiter was pleasant and I understand that it was busy that day, but I didn't feel that we should have to request everything that should have been offered."

"We had a great Mothers Day with you. We drove over 25 miles to visit your restaurant for the first time and it was completely with it. We got great deals, amazingly delicious food and the servers were excellent. We will be back!"

"Waited 30 mins over our reservation. Then we waited 30 mins for a server to come greet us. I then went to the host stand to find out if we had a server and was told that they lost the server. The food was luke warm and the pasta was dried out. The lasagna we ordered was burnt. This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I am in the industry so normaly I wouldnt write a poor review and I understand things happen but this was really bad."

"I cannot recall the name of our first course, but it was absolutely delicious. It was chicken with artichokes and capers. My son and I would return again, especially for that. Our reservation was in a quieter spot and I much appreciated that as I have a hearing loss. The waiter was most helpful and very kindly took two photos of us. Thank you for a great Easter."

"The atmosphere at first felt a bit overwhelming, lots of pictures, lots of statues. Being taken through the kitchen just to get to our tables also granted me a fine view of foods to come, and by the time we got to our seats, the entire atmosphere was generally inviting. Even if some of the pictures came off bizarre.
The service was quaint and the food was above exceptional, I especially enjoyed their Italian Purple Pear Soda.
The crowd was also very formal and respectful, not loud and rowdy."

"The food was great and delicious, But the service was horrible and rude. Me and my wife went for a early Valentines Day dinner to avoid the crowds. We were able to avoid the crowds and have a nice dinner besides the service. The waitress was very short and rude at the only came back want after we were server dinner. She never came back to ask if we needed refills on our drinks or if we needed anything else. Once we were done with dinner she came to the table next to ours and packed the food for them in the doggie bags. We didlove not gget the same service she just dropped off to take away stuff and left and only came back with our bill. When she came back she said "oh you packed it" and rolled her eyes and walked away. Not happy!!"

"My husband and I took our 2 little (5 & 7) for Valentine's Day. There were several parties waiting when we arrived, but we were seated immediately with our reservations. The kitchen was backed up due to the busy night, which we expected. Our Server was wonderful, Rhys and very engaged to make sure we had everything we needed until our dinner arrived."

"Went to Buca di Beppo on Valentines day with my husband and mother so was not looking for a romantic dinner for two...We arrived early and where sat in a large room with one other table , bye the time we left the place was packed. Lots of family's with kids ( all very cute) Ordered a bottle of wine and the server came to the table fumbled with the opening and just sat it on the table and walked away... other than the lack of wine presentation the food was good and large portions,perfect place for family's and large party's."

"Because I've been to Buca man times this experience won't prohibit me from returning.
Ordered calamari and it was over cooked and too chewy along with the breading coming off. First time we've ever not enjoyed their calamari
Ordered sausage and chicken penne. It arrived with no sausage. Told two waiters there was no sausage and they said if we were unhappy with the amount of sausage they could bring more. There was no sausage. Made us feel like we were idiots.
By the time the sausage came we were done eating.
Someone was not checking standards on Saturday night. But we still love Buca."
