While I’ve had such amazing experiences with all other locations in the past, this was both of our first time having a bad experience at any Buca, and feels like a terrible representation. I went in excited to share a wonderful meal with a friend for the first time in years, and we decided on Buca di Beppo for its’ food portions and quality. The entire experience was a culmination of us being left to wait to be sat for 10 minutes, being told we’d be given a few minutes to decide on food and then being forgotten, and then being rushed out 30 minutes before close by the staff. One man in particular only saying “you finished?” while we are still eating. He then moved on to standing in the corner glaring at us so he could grab the plates immediately off the tables as I’m still in the process of putting things in the to go boxes and waiting for the check to be picked up. We felt uncomfortable and like we were not welcome, so we thought we’d quickly wash our hands and leave and in the middle of looking were told by the same glaring man “that way.” with a sarcastic tone and smirk assuming I could not find the door I came in through. I won’t be back, and neither will any of my friends or family.

La comida ok. Pero A pesar que hize reservación para celebrar un triple Cumpleaños poniendo nombre y el tipo de celebración, y diciéndoles que canten Happy Birthday, no lo hicieron, pedimos postre y volvimos a decirle al mesero quien nos dijo que ya venían a cantar pero solo apareció 3 veces y tuvimos que llamarlo para pedir la cuenta, decepcionada de este restaurant

Online order for take-out was easy. Plenty of parking. Pick-up was easy. My order was accurate and well packaged. Thank you.

We ordered the lasagna advertised as feeding 3–4 people for $40 for New Year’s Eve, and it was a huge disappointment. The portion was extremely small — nowhere near enough for 3 people, let alone 4. On top of that, it didn’t even look appetizing. For the price and the way it’s marketed, this felt misleading and not worth the money at all. Very disappointing experience, especially for a holiday meal.

We had an event and service was great. The room we were in was a little tight. A few tables, limk the one I was at, had basically no room on one side between ours and another table. If someone needed to get up, everyone had to get up. They provided plenty of food and everyone left satisfied. The table was always full of food.

I was there for a Christmas or New Year's dinner. We ordered our food, but on the menu, we hadn't noticed that several dinners had options of different sizes. Our plates arrived and they were large, not as large as the bill was. I felt like we were taken advantage of, haven't been back since. The waiter took it upon himself to not ask us which size portion, instead giving all four of us the largest portions and prices. It wasn't just a few dollars, it was much more.

We ordered Spaghetti and meat sauce, we were brought Spaghetti and meatballs. We asked for parmasean cheese on the side we were advised the grated cheese was already at the table. The spaghetti sauce was watery. I really enjoyed the Broccoli Romano and ther famous meatballs. If I go to an Italian restaurant I expect fresh cheese for the pasta. I want the pasta sauce to be a bit more flavorful I tried the Italian Lemon cake, it had too much bread. Not enough strawberry sauce. The atmosphere was pleasant. I wish I could have enjoyed it more. Sorry it's not very authentic. The waiters were very nice and helpful.
