I visited Buca di Beppo on J st downtown and had a great experience. We were greeted with a smile and seated right away, service was on point and the food came out shortly after we ordered. This is a reflection on the staff and how well the restaurant is managed. I will definitely be returning to this location

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and homemade, and the pizza had the perfect crispy crust. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting—perfect for a date night or family dinner. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Italian food!

I’ve been to several Buca di Beppo’s, so when I saw one here in San Diego, my mom and I had to go! However, if this was my first time at this restaurant I would never go to another one again. The service was not what I expected, the waiter brought my appetizers and food out all at once. Then said they forgot to add the shrimp to my pasta and brings me a bowl of steamed shrimp to mix in myself. He just dropped the food on the table and walked away before I could even ask for anything else. The pasta was dry, nothing like what I’m used to at this franchise. When I asked for a manager, some guy comes up clearing the table and we were like are you the manager, that we are waiting on a manager, the guy proceeds to tell us “ yes that’s why I’m here”. He proceeded to say they are short staffed and that we are lucky he let us sit without a reservation. Meanwhile, there’s a lot of ppl waiting for a table without reservations since it was after an event at Petco park. Then don’t seat ppl if you can’t provide service. Thankfully was just once bad experience here but wouldn’t go back to this location.

Food was mediocre at best. Service was horrendous. Waitress went on a Starbucks run and nobody picked up our table. They still had the nerve to charge me the full bill even though we could barely get drink refills or warm pasta.

There were three people working front of the house. Thankfully it wasn't busy, but the service was slow and spotty. Sadly there wasn't a photographer on duty that night, and we didn't get the pics for my daughter's birthday which we had hoped for. The food was as expected.

Came here around lunch on a Saturday during a conference. Portions are giant. Great for groups. Chicken parm and the Quattro Fromagio (4 types of cheese ravioli) were decent.
It’s not blow your mind Italian, but it’s very good for groups at the price point.
