    We had a great time! Great food and great service. This is our first time dining at Buca di Beppo, celebrating our daughter’s 19 years birthday. We truly appreciated Alberto, who’s very attentive and provided us with best customer service. Will definitely return soon!

    The food was nothing special. We got the chicken park, spaghetti and meatballs, Caesar’s salad, and mozzarella cheese bread and it cost $200 for 4 people. The spaghetti had very little marinara and we had to ask for more, and it took over z45 minutes to get our food. Nothing special

    We have been going to Buca di Beppo for over 20 years. I have never experience such a horrible service just now. We went for a surprise birthday celebration. I mentioned it to my reservation and reminded the hostess to let our server know. After we eat I asked the server discreetly about the note in my reservation as I was sitting next to the birthday celebrant. Server replied he didn't get the memo and asked me loudly what is it??? I just said never mind since it’s not going to be a surprise anymore! Totally ruined our surprise!
