"Nice, Comforatable place to eat. The table setting is a bit small for 5 adults with 3 large entres and 1 large salad, plus water glasses. A table for 6 should actually be a table for 4."

"Excellent food and delectable salads! I've been at Buca di Beppo in the Chicago area and have always enjoyed it. I wanted to share my dining out knowledge with two other senior ladies who who are now raving about Buca. It's a quiet place and for seniors with hearing problems, that's important. The fact that three of us could share one meal and one salad was also outstanding to the three of us. The waiting staff is very attentive to your needs. Thank you very much for an incredible dinner. Bellissimo!"

"Enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends who are new to Scottsdale and had never been to Buca di Beppo. Waiter was most attentive kept the water glasses full and plenty of bread we had two entrees for the 5 of us and still took home leftovers. Always enjoy this busy place and the food never has let us down, consistently good no matter what we order. The noise level does get cranked up if you want a quiet place to visit this may not fill the bill."

"Food is good, however this visit with a large group for a birthday part the service wasn't the best we've had. One guest ordered the manicotti with alfredo sauce, and extra sauce on the side. The side sauce never came, and the manicotti was on the dry side with very little alredo to begin with."

"My boyfriend and I went to Boca di Beppo on Valentines Day. We were both very pleasantly surprised by the restaurant. The staff created a feeling of being invited to enjoy a meal at sometimes home. The waiter say down at the table with us to explain the 'family style' that the restaurant uses. He made sure that we had everything we needed to have a great night and an authentic Italian meal. We both agree that we will DEFINITELY be returning."

"Food was decent for family style. Huge portions and a wide variety of dishes. We loved the artichoke dip appetizer. The pastas all needed more sauce and the Cesar salad needed more dressing and they were accommodating and brought more for us. The wait staff did a great Job."
