"My sons took me out to dinner at Buca Di Beppo on Mother's Day. Our waiter was excellent, and the food was delicious. The ambience was great--not too noisy and not too quiet. I look forward to going to Buca again."

"Definitely glad we made reservations - my co-worker waited almost 2 hours for table! Our waiter was very nice and as effcient as he could be on a busy evening. The spinach artichoke cheese dip was delicious although the artichoke could have been cut into smaller pieces. The macoroni rosa and quattro al fourno were very good. The frutti del mare was good although the baby squid were a turnoff to some in our party. No one left hungry!"

"I had not been to any Buca's in a long time. I did used to enjoy it! I found myself in Augusta Ga for business and decided to go in to eat. Firts off, the lights are so bright in this place, it looked like a car dealership. The was NO abience what so ever and no cusomers. My Furitte di Mare was a big slopppy, mushy mess. The linguini had been sitting in the steam table for quite some time and was so mushy and over cooked. The waitress was so sweet though. Took it off my bill and I walked next door to PF Changs and had a great meal... as usual."

"I was not at all impressed with the quality of food. I also did not like the fact that there were no entres for individuals as my husband prefers pastas and I prefer something with protein and vegetable. There were several choices on the menu but as I stated he preferred the pasta dishes."

"I was not thrilled with the "family style" where you order an entree for two or four people. When we eat out we don't want to have to compromise on our dinner choice. The veal Marsala was very sweet and if you want anything else including garlic bread, you have to pay dearly for it. The food was adequate, service was poor, our server only had one other table, and prices were very high. Will not go back or recommend to others"

"A Buca di Beppo location near our home always has a full parking lot. So being in town for the Masters, we were a little surprised at first seeing a nearly empty restaurant upon arrival, and we almost left. But once we dove into the family style platters of food, we were pleased. The two soup choices were well-liked by out party (I actually crave another bowl of the wedding soup). We chose two platters for 4 people: SM chicken parmesan & LG baked rigatoni with meat, sausage, ricotta and mozzarella (think deconstructed lasagna). The massive bowls and platter were licked clean! Paying to ordering a side of pasta with our chicken parm was a little off-putting at first. But once we got the "hang" of family-style ordering, we're glad we stayed!"

"The only complaint I have is how long it took for someone to greet our table. We waited for about 15 minutes, then one of the hosts came and told us our server was "backed up." By the time she brought back drinks or server had greeted us and taken our order. From then on everything was wonderful! The server was very friendly. The food arrived fast and was delicious."

"food was top notch. It was our first time at Buca. My waitress did not have any knowledge of the food items and made the our experience unpleasant. I ordered 2 different drinks which took 30 minutes to receive and both you were out of. She failed inform me after I sat thirsty half the time I was there. I asked on my reservation to have roses on the table, that didn't happen. Check took almost 45min to get and waitress was taking advantage of our patience."

"Not the most romantic or quaint spot to dine being in the Augusta Mall, but the food was delicious as always and it's a great spot for groups and families. I like the touches they add for special occasions. We were on a double date for Valentine's Day and they gave the ladies flowers and ended with Ghiradeli chocolates!"
