"This was my 2nd visit to Buca and I reserved the kitchen for a special date with my wife. The staff was amazing and very friendly. Jonathan, the cook, was happy to show/explain to us some of the different foods being prepared and even let us try some. The portions are huge and served family style which would make any family happy because you can try more than one item. The restaurant itself is a lot of fun. I am going to take my whole family this next time for sure. Thanks Buca!!"

"I always enjoy the food but the service is sometimes slow especially when young children are in the party. Family style hints at children so the wait staff should bring bread when they come for the drink order. I don't know about you but 200.00 including tip seems high to me with poor service."

"I absolutely loved my experience at Buca Di Beppo this Saturday! It offered everything I needed to make this Prom date a successful one. Delicious food, incredibly helpful and friendly staff, and even some flexibility with my reservation when plans went awry.
I would absolutely suggest this location to anybody who asked me where to get good Italian food, where to take a date, or simply where to go for a good family dining experience. My only disappointment the whole night was a lack of Coke products on the menu, but I managed with Pepsi.
Totally worth the cost!"

"Horrid! Our food smelt of a zoo enclosure. The only benefit of this place is the extremely large portions but with how gross the food is it all ends up in the trash anyway. We will never be back!"

"Buca has a nostalgic twist that reminds me of my childhood so I always like the trip down memory lane. The meatballs had to go back under cooked so they took that off our total. The salmon was over cooked & the stuffed shells were great. It was valentines day & we think the kitchen was busy. we like Buca but it's better with a crowd family style portions makes it had for two."

"The food was good, but it was much more expensive than it was worth. We spent $40 to split an appetizer and one entree. I do not think I'll be going back due to the costly menu."

"They were on time with our reservation which was nice to start off the night. The service was excellent! I have been to many restaurants that can't even match half of their great customer care. My drink was always full. The food was exactly what we wanted and really well done. I can't say enough good things about my time here. Worth the extra money for food and service."
