LOVE the Holy Halibut Macadamia!!! A harmony of textures and tastes! The halibut with macadamia and hazelnut beurre blanc sauce is nothing short of a flavor symphony. The halibut, perfectly cooked and tender, serves as a delicate canvas for the rich, nut-infused sauce. Halibut is the star: delicate, fresh, and moist. Cooked to perfection, the halibut is tender with a subtle sweetness. It pairs beautifully with the beurre blanc sauce that is luxurious, creamy, and nutty. The sauce is elevated with macadamia and hazelnuts, adding buttery sweetness and earthy notes that blend seamlessly. The Holy Halibut Macadamia is visually stunning. The golden-brown crust of the halibut contrasts with the creamy, nutty sauce, creating a visually appealing and texturally delightful dish. This vibrant dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The rice pilaf, cooked to fluffy perfection, forms the comforting base. Infused with aromatic herbs and spices, it boasts a subtle yet flavorful profile that complements the sweet-tart bursts of dried cranberries scattered throughout. The cranberries add a delightful chewiness and a touch of natural sweetness that enlivens each bite. Accompanying the pilaf are tender stalks of sauteed broccolini. With a satisfying char and slight crispness, the broccolini provides a fresh, slightly bitter contrast to the rich and nutty undertones of the pilaf. The green hues of the broccolini create a visually appealing contrast against the golden rice and crimson cranberries, making this dish as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. This dish is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, perfect for those who love gourmet cuisine. It's sure to leave you satisfied and craving more.

The LUNCH MENU prices and portions were comparable and worth the money. The Fettuchini Alfredo and the Lasagna were great! Coffee was like warm and had to request a fresh cup each time I needed a refill Our waiter/bar tender/buser RUSHED us as we both have never been to a Bucca de Beppo before. The Welcome Host, white female, was not engaging with the customers as we entered the establishment.

We come here often and love the steak!!!!!! A little pricey but steaks are worth it. Didn’t like the clam chowder (too thick and didn’t taste like clam chowder). Scallops were so salty ( they didn’t charge us for that). Wedge salad was perfect! Mashed potato is to die for. Cocktails were yummy. Cheese curds are the overall winner in appetizers section! Service is always above and beyond. Dish chocolate chip and banana pudding were a nice end to the dinner.

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

Food was delicious. Was disappointed to learn halibut was not available for the sandwich I have come to love. Service was great!
