Bucca is sheets an interesting experience because every restaurant's vibe is different. Universal's vibe is loud loud loud and energetic due to the clientele. I'm assuming this is due to people coming and going from the theme park. Our waiter Moises was super friendly and helpful.

We came after Universal Studios Hollywood. Super easy to book. Booked on Open Table for 9 people and walked in. Great for kids. Lots of stairs so careful for elderly if in larger group. I think first floor is good for elderly who can't do stairs.
June 2025
It was ok. We had a group of 12 on a Sun night. The kids enjoyed it... our server wasn't very attentive so it always takes a couple tries to hunt him down. Maybe they're under staffed. Food was just soso.
