For a place that is frequented by many and has been around for years, you'd think they'd have gluten free pasta options. I called the restaurant before arriving, and asked if they had gluten free/celiac friendly pasta, and they said yes, but upon arriving at the restaurant and ordering, it turns out there are only a handful of gluten free items on the menu, none of which are pasta. The gluten free items leave much to be desired. Shouldn't be that hard to have at least one gluten free pasta option, especially for an Italian family restaurant.

We stopped by last night around 8:30 PM on Friday with our family, including two kids. The hostess initially asked us to wait for about 10 minutes, but after coming back she said the restaurant was fully booked and that the wait could be 10, 20, or even 30 minutes. The response felt dismissive, and it seemed our presence with a tired, hungry toddler may have influenced the interaction.

What stood out was that another party arriving shortly after us was greeted warmly. I have never had a similar experience at other restaurants. This didn’t sound right. I won’t go here again.

We hosted our son’s graduation party at Buca di Beppo today and had a wonderful experience. The food and drinks were great, and the service was outstanding. Romeo and the rest of the crew went above and beyond to make our celebration special.
Highly recommend!

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Buca do beppo in Campbell, CA on December 9th at around 2.30. The service was excellent, our waiter, Joshua was great; he was attentive, checking in with us to make sure that we were doing well and if we need anything else. The food was so delicious, as always! Thank you Buca for making our celebration special!

We went for Thanksgiving dinner. There were twelve us and we had a private room. Staff was very attentive and friendly and service was excellent. We got the family style turkey dinner for six and a few dishes off the menu and had more than sufficient food. Food was hot and very good. We took several containers of leftovers home. Patricia, the GM, stopped in to see how we were doing and that we had everything we needed.

We did not make a reservation, not sure if that was an important factor in us having a sub-par experience.
We were told the wait was 10 minutes but it ended up being closer to 20 minutes which was not really a big deal but during this time, we watched a waiter getting mad and lecturing a (I think) newer employee. After we were seated, we overheard 2 staff members complaining about covering someone's shift. To me this felt awkward especially since we were in a less crowded part of the restaurant. Feels like this conversation should be done elsewhere.
The waitress took our order a little after 6PM but when we asked about the happy hour, we were told that we missed it even though the poster in the waiting area says 7PM. I know we should have shown them the poster but I was paranoid about the safety of my food if we were to do that....
My favorite part about my meal was the complimentary bread. It was soft inside and a little crunchy outside. The fried mozzarella was a little too salty. Our pasta came with a mountain of ground beef in the sauce but taste nothing special, like straight out of a jar.
I guess Buca di Beppo is one of those places that people go to and get disappointed but will forget about it in a few years before the cycle continues.
