Amazing food and service, a little pricey, but lots of leftovers. Not as bad when it's 2 or 3 meals.

Seeing the perfect photos of food with the red checkered table clothes, I had such high expectations of this place. I was pretty disappointed at the sight of my “family-serving” lasagna plate that came all dried up to the extent the Bechamel sauce was almost crumbling between the layers. The pizza was not bad, just plain average. Also, the place is not expensive, but it’s NOT CHEAP at all, the plates don’t serve three people… so price it comparable to reputable places like Bestia and Il pastio, just less quality is what we got.

The restaurant was amazing. The servers were very patient very accommodating. The manager was great our waiter that we had. His name was Nick. I was also grateful for this restaurant. It was a celebration for my wife’s birthday this past Sunday and we had reservations at 7:30. The whole family arrive close to 8 o’clock and we stayed an hour plus past closing we were not rushed or hurried away. Everybody was patient with us. The host were amazing. They even held my wife’s birthday cake in the fridge that I brought earlier that day which came out beautifully with the song. I don’t recommend showing up close to closing like we did but if you ever want to go to a restaurant where it feels like home and the food is great and a good time go to Buca di Beppo best waiter was ours last night his name was Nick.

Service was great. Food was tasty. The real drawback is the outrageous prices. It is just too expensive for what you get.

We were seated in a big room by ourselves. Pretty sure we were forgotten about multiple times. Things we asked for never were delivered. Been here before, but this was the worst service we’ve had here
