Reviews of Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant
Dianna
This place to me would be better if they had prices per serving. Sometimes not everyone is going to agree on lasagna. 2 may want that but someone may want the chicken Parmesan. A bit pricey, even if it is served family style. I mean, if you buy the chicken Parmesan, serve it with spaghetti. Don't make the customer pay extra. 2 of us went for lunch, we spent $81. Individual plates would have been better. We enjoyed the food but will probably not go back
Brandon Mann
Shelby was outstanding and took great care of us during our recent visit. We were celebrating a milestone and this was a perfect cap to the evening. The food was excellent. The drinks were outstanding. The atmosphere is just really cool. Definitely recommend!

As I was visiting a relative over in Louisville last week and after doing shopping and running some errands I asked him to stop at a restaurant for lunch. He threw that name on the table and l was really stunned by the funny name, so I was anticipating something a little unusual and fun.
As we stepped in , we were welcomed by the host and guided all the way to where we preferred to sit. Frankly, as I was following the host through the seating halls and hallways, you can see numerous paintings and pictures on the walls that give the feeling you are mingling in an Italian old town. I was really wowed by some of the interior design.The restaurant was huge from inside with adequate seatings to hold large celebrations and parties with no worries.
Well ! Let's talk about the food. This place is an Italian restaurant with an American touch. To me, it is a great place for great Italian food and fun! Buca really offers Italian cuisine in a selective, vintage setting with a wide-ranging menu . My order was the chicken parmesan and was one of the most scrumptious Italian dish I had in any American/Italian restaurant. I absolutely enjoyed every bite of that meal. The food there I believe is always fantastic and no matter what you order. Not to omit , the service was perfectly attentive and the server was so nice and helpful with options and suggestions. None of us had left the restaurant in a bad mood. I assure you that you will leave full and satisfied.
To be back? Definitely with big YES in my next visit to Louisville.
Sierra Allgeier
My server as well as chef Michael were Nothing less than AMAZING! I have food restrictions and he came out and spoke to me personally to create a dish that was deliciously perfect for me to eat- He showed our whole family more love than any customer service I’ve had in a long time - he even treated the little ones with fresh chocolate chips - our server was so kind and patient and over all the experience was perfect!
Dezaray Franke
We just ate at hurstborne location and Shane was our sever he was awesome very attentive and had the food out fast to us . We also noticed him cleaning and Catering to other tables the same way . Had a wonderful personality he gets 10 stars ⭐️
Christine Hawkins

Food us absolutely amazing. Huge portions friendly service. Came back for a second dinner and once again they did not disappoint! Food was fantastic and service was above and beyond. Shout out to our server Mara for making sure we had a great experience and wanted for nothing!
Veronica Reed
Excellent like always 👌; We have been in their Indy locations but our 1st time en Louisville branch was great; and for 1st time the Chef visited our table, made Excellent suggestions and all his Staff were so friendly & united to participate in different birthdays' celebrations around their beautiful decorated restaurant...definitely truly recommended 👌🤩
Chris Cooley
Rhianna was a wonderful waitress with a wonderful smile. Food was awesome and a lot of it. Good atmosphere and well worth going.
Kenith Capen
Quickly becoming my favorite Italian restaurant in Louisville. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a must for me and the Chicken Cannelloni is a family favorite.
Michelle Roof
Food was very tasty! Service was wonderful! Said the small size would feed 2-3, however it was more than we could eat for 2 meals! We ordered the lasagna, Brussels sprouts with prosciutto, and a salad. We had the sangrias, one white and one red, not the best, but not the worst. We will definitely be back!
David Downs
I'm a repeat customer. Love the good food and festive Italian atmosphere. However, inflation has arrived, as of 9-22-22, a Pepsi is $3.95, and my chicken parm was $ 15.99, no sides.
Daniel Taleghani
The food is great I got a great deal sign up and on their email that you can have 50% off the pizza and 15% off for pasta. I love the food here. 😀
Tracey Beck
Service was great! Food delicious! Great atmosphere! Only drawback, is why when you have more than one coupon at the table, but different checks that spend way more than the required amount, you do not allow each family to use coupon? Are we supposed to all ask for different tables?
Glen Dotson
I've been in Louisville going on past 20 years, and eaten here several times. The food quality needs improvement. We didn't get any noodles with our plate. The atmosphere will always be fantastic. The service was good, but the food needs alot of improvement for the price you pay.
j e
Just went there for a birthday. Food was great, as usual. Fun atmosphere. Our server Shelby was top notch, very polite, and we didn't have to wait for anything. Definitely going back again.
Andrew “Andy” Kemp
Buca is a nice place to go for a family get together. We had several excellent dishes, including ravioli with meat sauce, lasagna, stuffed shells, and egg plant parmigiana. The large antipasto salad fed 5 people easily with leftovers. Our server, Taylor, was very helpful and friendly. Make sure you call in a reservation if you don’t want a long wait.
Natty
Friendly service, food was very good, very large portions! Price is justified.
Aikeen Webb
The lunch menu is personal size. The dinner menu small serves 3 and the large serves 5 ( according to the server. I had the spicy chicken rigatoni it was flavorful just not enough chicken. The server was prompt and the food was so quick I couldn’t remember even waiting.
Cyril Thomas
Took my wife out for our date night. We had the chicken parm for dinner with a salad. She said it was her favorite salad possibly ever. We finished the night with the colossal brownie which was delicious.
Our server was super nice however and very helpful. Thanks Carson!
Greg Naves II
I’d really give 3.5 stars but I’m ok with 4. Firstly our waiter Marta was excellent and absolutely wonderful ! The menu looks pricey but the serving sizes are huge . If you’re taking a date you guys can literally share a small anything on the menu . This is definitely a restaurant for groups or families because serving sizes are hugeeeee. I would have given 5 stars but the drinks were not strong at all and my fettuccine Alfredo had no flavor . I had chicken and broccoli added and it all tasted bland. The spaghetti was decent. The stuffed chicken was actually good I must say. Worth a visit just not enough flavor for me personally and the punch bowl tasted like no alcohol was in it . We drunk the whole
Bowl and felt nor tasted anything . A plus is there was plenty of food to take home lol like seriously be prepared to share your food it’s a lot
Jack Giralico
WAY too pricey. Could take some of that money and upgrade a bit. Server was spectacular and took GREAT care of us. Stuffed chicken was good. Meatballs - meh. Baked ziti was not bad. I last visited about 15 years ago. Perhaps the frequency is just about right. (;.
Sue Nilest
We nade a reservation for 10 for NYE at 7. Requested the Pope room. We arrived and they were totally ready for us! We had a fantastic waitress! She was so attentive to our group! The food? Fantastic! Abundant and everyone left with our bellies full and a takehome plate!
Ashlee Bitton
We went here for Thanksgiving, the service was great and they got us to our table pretty quickly. But our cheese bread had a really weird taste and the meatballs were very dry. We were pretty disappointed. We normally love Buca Di Beppo but this one wasn't super impressive
Jamie Diaz
Shane took great care of our party of 15 as we celebrated a special birthday, today. He was on top of the food orders and drink refills. We will definitely keep this place in mind for more memorable birthdays in the future!
Kimberly Scott
Waiter was great!
Food was good, not great.
Prices were ridiculous!
They have changed most of the food since I was there last and it just doesn't have the same ambience as before. I have spent a lot of time and money in this restaurant and I understand post-covid struggles but, I won't go back.
Ashley Abby Wynn
The food and atmosphere here is always fantastic have been going off and on for years now. Today we ordered pick up and was beyond happy with it. We ordered the Family meal for $40 promo Baked Ziti, Caesar salad & garlic bread then added on brussel’s and broccoli. Quality was perfect,Everyone was so happy with it and now we’re all in a food comatose state with a ton of left overs.
Thank you Bucca for making a quiet birthday celebration at home amazing.
Joshua Coolidge
Our food was amazing. We were here for a little while, probably about 2 to 3 hours. But the food was great our waiter Angelo was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming.
Emily Ellegood
My son had the best family style birthday dinner ever here customer service experience was exceptional I would Recommend anyone come here put those cell phones down and have a real family dinner this restaurant promotes getting back to the foundations of family talk eat laughter while enjoying a delicious meal the portions are HUGE I over ordered and was still very satisfied they have the best pizza great spaghetti/meatballs salad and the kid’s favorite chicken Alfredo the manager Chef Michael even catered to my daughter with plenty of food allergies and made her a pizza she could eat so she wouldn’t be left out it’s not even on the menu people that’s real customer service caring about your customers something you can not find at many restaurants being kind is sadly never the trend but it is here you will find that and more thank you Chef Michael 🥳❤️
Eazy Money
Buca has a fun Italian atomsphere. You even get a tour through the kitchen like the mafia movies. You get large portions of food. Really really long portions of food!! There are Italian pictures and paintings covering the walls to give it a authentic Italian look. The server's are nice and fast. My problem is although you get large portions of food. The food is very bland! I love italian food and this isnt it. Need more seasoning!! Sauce is dry and I can't taste the cheese! You get 3 crown's👑👑👑 great atomsphere and good server's but the food was average
Joe Macaluso
It's a good place to eat but you have to know what your going to get before you enter or you will have way more than you can eat. It's served family style so you need some family corporation. Other than that it's good service and good food, I will definitely be back.
some person
I was with a party of 18 for a birthday, no restaurants around us were available so we decided to try Buca . My friend came in there and asked them if they could take us in. They were fully booked for that night but still managed to squeeze us in. Amazing service, great food, highly recommend.
Lisa Riley
Food Excellent as always! Our Server Brooke provided quick and awesome service. Thanks to Chef Michael and his team for another wonderful dinning experience.
Tony Mitchell
My wife Peggy Mitchell and I love that restaurant. We go there every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary, sometimes our birthday~hers May 21st and mine September 6th, sometimes on Valentine's Day. Those days that we do celebrate we both have memberships there and we get coupons and discounts from the restaurant and the management because we go there so much. We get excellent service. They always get our table we reserve as you see pictured here. We love and enjoy eating the food there. It's a very romantic place to go and a very nice place to go. You think you're part of Mafia in Italy eating at a nice expensive Italian restaurant in Italy. You know you might see me and Peggy as part of a Mafia and eating in an expensive Italian restaurant in Italy 🇮🇹.
Steven Bishop
This place is amazing. They give you so much food and it is great. Service was wonderful and no one in our party went without or wanted for anything. Drinks were kept full without ever having to asks. The best part was that the chef himself came out to make sure everything was well. He saw that one person in our party wasn't eating because she didn't like the meals we chose. So he made her a special plate just for her. What a wonderful place and staff. We will be back.
Kimani Ealom
Angelo and Chef Mike we're great and so was the food! We got coupons for the next meal and he hooked us up with some extra sauce for our pasta we took home!
Rhonda Tallon
I stopped here for a nice lunch.....I wasn’t disappointed. Not sure how it is when it’s their busy hours but I was well taken care of for lunch! As well as stuffed!! One could easily take home half of their order and reheat it for lunch/dinner the next day!! It was a bit pricey but I had a cocktail, lunch portion, and dessert....one could eat cheaper than I did, but I truly enjoyed myself!! Check out the photos as I’ve added notes to each!!
Dudley
It’s 3:00 now and we had a great late lunch. We’re from WV and staff was friendly. Shelby was maybe best server we ever had. Give her a raise. Also portions(small) are huge.
Jo Ann Richardson
Fantastic night with Angelo as our waiter. He even sang Happy Birthday to me in Italian. Great food and service!
Hope Tollett
Excellent food and one of the best servers I have had in a long time! Portions are very generous!
Jes A
Took my mom out for dinner. We loved it. Really yummy food. Really nice staff. The bathrooms kind of need more frequent routine cleaning but besides that. we loved it. we got the quattro pasta and the margherita pizza.
James Bamberger
First time here and the food was great !!!!! Will definatley be back..We ordered Xhicken Parm, And Spag and meatballs .....Service was also great !!!!
AmandaRachael Proctor
This is one of our favorite places to come for date night and our server Amanda was awesome!!! She gave great recommendations and phenomenal service!
Bryce Mansfield
Had my birthday dinner here— Chef Michael and his team were great! 10/10 would recommend!
Zach Howland
Grwt service, friendly staff, awesome food! We went for half price meatball night and they were some of the best meatballs I've ever had! And my birthday dessert was awesome!
B R
The food was great, but I didn't realize they only serve family sized portions for dinner. Prices range between $20 and $30 for a "small" but it feeds 3 people. They were nice enough to let me order off of the lunch menu since I was by myself.
Julie Lynn Ledford Durbin
Good food good atmosphere the even they even have a "color tv" lol the fried Manzanillo is fat girl approved! ❤❣❤
Kevin Kramer
Chelsea was our waitress and she was awesome and we loved chef Michael.
Nikki Lewis
Delicious food and amazing service.
Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening or a family celebration!
ILuv 2Singa

Julie Kramer
Our family of 16 shared a wondeful night .Chelsea our server and Chef Michael were awesome!!!
Kolby Allen
Chef Michael was awesome tonight! He took such good care of our huge group of 50. The food was great and so was the wait staff.
Jenica Graham (JAG)
The first time I visited this place was at the end of June 2022. I was in town for a work trip. The food was good here of course, but the service was quite interesting. The night I was there, they must’ve been short on staff because it took forever for a waitress to get to our table and then there was visible tension between the bartender/waitress and the initial waitress that took our order. Irrelevant. I had their takeout this past week (First week of July) and that was quick and easy and great food.
Donna Harman
Very cute little restaurant. The waitress was very sweet and checked on us often. She helped with menu items and food was hot and very delicious. Service was very quick and was very satisfied
steve sieswerda
Our server Marta was awesome, we had a birthday party with 13 people. The food was amazing!
Danielle Adams
I loved this place. It was out first time eating here so the staff offered to seat us in the kitchen. I enjoyed way hing them prepare everything and service was immediate. Our waitress was very nice as was the manager who stopped by the table. The portions are family size so a small fed my and my boyfriend twice over. It was the best meatballs I've ever eaten.
Jason Parker
Chelsie was super awesome, and even with it busy, we never had to wait for anything. Great Job!!!
Jennifer Marcial Diaz
Awesome family style Italian restaurant, which means you get one big serving to pass around! Had the prosciutto wrapped chicken and the spicy shrimp pasta, delicious! The salads are amazing as well!
Ryan Staggs
Portions are huge and the stuffed chicken is my new favorite. The lasagna could have fed 4 people. Italian Creme Cake was outstanding!
Alfred Schmidt
Bread is dry. Oil for bread is gross.
The lasagna is good. Chicken Marsala is OK. Great service.
Very BIG portions. Good prices.
Eagle United State of America
Wow is amazing.... All plate are too big...
Mary Anne Fitzgerald
The manager, Chef Mike, got us the table we requested and the waitress, Chelsea was awesome!!
Tim P
Good food but it's not really a place for just 2 people to eat because if you want 2 different meals you have to pay for sharable meals of 3. You dont even get a side salad. This was the most Ive paid for a meal for 2 that wasnt steak dinners. $92 for 3 pieces of stuffed chicken, bowl of chicken alfredo, 2 beers, 1 pepsi and garlic toast. Food was good but it's more catered to groups rather than 2 people
Vinnie Pantoja
This has to be my favorite Italian restaurant in the city, the prices are awesome and the portions are a great size, even the small!
The service is outstanding and the food makes you feel so homey. They decorations are so cool and the lighting is perfect.
Kena Riley
Very helpful and amazing. Got our food out quick and good. Chef Michael was amazing and helpful! Would recommend to all my friends!
Ginny Christensen
Great service. Food was fresh
, hot and delicious. We had a large group and the staff was very accommodating.
Edneisha Cardine
It was a nice setting, the food needs more seasoning🤦🏽♀️ to me... But other then that I like the place they walk you 🙄thru the kitchen to get to ur table, I thought that was weird but hey they didn't have NOTHING to hide😁 they give you the best birthday gift EVER …
Nancy Farmer
Wonderful service! Amanda was great. Food was so good! Chef Michael was wonderful as well!
Gabrielle Alderman
When the party ahead of us stayed over their reservation, Amanda and Michael went above and beyond to take care of us. We’ll definitely be back!
Carrie Christensen
Thank you Buca Louisville! We had a last minute large group amd they took great care of us. Great food and great service. You went above and beyond.
Larry G Caulk

I have sangria love their sangria my friends had a couple of drinks also the one in the picture below is a tiramisu martini and believe me it was so good end up getting one myself we got the bruschetta which is always good we love it, I ordered the chicken cannelloni, they ordered the eggplant parmesan, and it has to be one of the house specials the lasagna always great the waiter told us one of the waitresses there put some alfredo sauce on the eggplant parmesan so we tried it oh my goodness how good was it I can't tell you we ate it all it's always good service there good atmosphere I was so stuffed when I left I couldn't walk haha I can't say enough about this place that's good.
Amy Zeitz “Louisville Ky Realtor CRS” Bailey
Great food and service for a group get together.
Ramon Stanton
Make sure you have a nice size group, and a very healthy appetite. Portion sizes are very very generous here.
But you won't be disappointed, this was our first time, going here. We loved everything about the place, from the Homey decor, to the very friendly, and funny stuff . Finally to the delicious home made Italian food.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
katie gearing
Wonderful authentic Italian food! I highly bruschetta bread. Fun, kooky and friendly atmosphere.
Glenn Emily
Service was excellent! Our food was ready for pickup when they said. As always the food was great
jo z
Great food and atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing. They do need to bring back more if their entrees. The ones with shrimp. I'm allergic to chicken. The sauces need a little more Italian taste, less tomato. Will definitely eat there again. Like the end of this month.
Ferdinand Marengo
Took my team in for a team dinner. Great food and staff . Even the chief came out and asked how everything was .Would definitely come back
Ashley Britton
Mara and Andrea was awesome!!!! Thank you so much for the great date night I needed!!! Loved the food, and the service matched. <3
Wanda Curtis
We were a large group of ladies - all ordering on separate tickets. Rhiannon was the only server working & she did an amazing job! All the drinks & food came out correctly & she couldn’t have been more pleasant. Everyone was happy with their food. The chef came in to check on us & he was really nice & his food was delicious. I can’t wait to go back!
Angela Angton
We celebrated my sister's birthday. The best experience!!! Such hospitality. Our server Nikki was very nice and attentive. So kind. The crew sounded off with a very nice Happy Birthday celebration song. Food was hot, fresh, and fast. I loved the spirit of the chef Michael and his crazy tambourines. Will come back!!!
Arielle Channels
Been here twice now and the food is fantastic. Big portions! I had to take the rest of my food in a to go box. The restuarnt decoration is also very cool and interesting.
Timothy Drumm
So thankful for Star serving us tonight! She is awesome!!! She was working the bar and covering our large party. We never felt like we needed anything that she wasn’t already taking care of. The food was great and we all left stuffed with a bunch of leftovers!
Fred Thompson
Very dark restaurant, no windows. Will lose track of the time of the day.
Which allows you have no distractions while eating all the great food and appetizers!
Serving are not for an individual. Meant to serve multiple people.
Can't wait to go back!!!
Melaya Jones-Bell
Had a great time! The food was delicious. I went for my birthday and the food was brought out to us quick and the portions were great for the price. Our waitress was Marta and she was very nice.
Tammy Atkinson-Harmon
Absolutely love this place. Our server Amanda was wonderful and food was wonderful.
Victor “Taco” Suarez
Unfortunately, I did not take pics on this outing.. But this place looked phenomenal! The art and deco was all on point, and the food was really good and plentiful. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately, the service was all but non-existent! Our server was absent for most, if not all of the meal!!!
It didn't seem like they were overbooked or understaffed, but that remains to be a mystery. This would have been a magical birthday dinner for my wife, if the server would have given us an ounce of attention!
Ryan Baltzley
We took my father for his birthday. We had a great time and really good food. The spicy shrimp appetizer was my favorite. Reservations are great with a toddler.
Edward Natero
It was a lot of food. They have small or large portions. It's more like a sharing place. The food was ok but the service was nice.
Allison Collier
Amanda was super nice, always checked up on us, and made our dinner awesome!!
Barbara Ruby
We had only been here once before & it was many, many years ago, maybe over a decade. All I remembered was this is an Italian restaurant & I think we were here when it was only family style at dinner. We went for lunch today because I was sent a gift card. It was all delicious & the lunch portions are just right for us while still being very generous! We started with a side Caesar salad that we shared. My husband had the Chicken Parmigiana with Italian Broccoli Romano & I had Chicken Limone with fresh green beans. I tasted my husband's food 1st & all was excellent. Then I tasted my Chicken Limone & it was even better! So tender, in a creamy light lemon butter sauce & topped with capers. The broccoli & the green beans were fresh, not overcooked & not ordinary! We shared a large piece of Italian Creme Cake for dessert. There was nothing left behind. We will definitely be return customers; lunch menu is weekdays until 3PM. I would give 5 stars to Bucca di Beppo if they would get rid of the plastic tablecloths that don't feel good draped against you; they feel smothering & hot. No tablecloths at all would be a much better choice & give a cleaner look because there is so much to look at on the walls: interesting photos - Sophia Loren to nuns in bumper cars! Also, handrails are needed along the ramps from 1 dining area to another. They open at 11AM so do yourself a favor & skip the crowded (and not as good) "other" Italian place with Garden in their name. Bucca di Beppo actually has a beautiful garden right outside the canopy covered walkway to their door.
Amy McCollum
Great for our mother's day dinner. The penne san remo and short rib orecchiette were perfect.
Bill Fitzgerald
Chef Michael and server Chelsea were great! Great food and service!
Cindy Heath
Chandler was the best server 💗. We will absolutely ask for him next time.💯 Dingo is our favorite manager!!!!!!🤩
Robin Rodgers
Buca di Beppo is the best restaurant in Louisville and the best Italian restaurant around. We have been going there for about 13 years now. Dino is THE BEST! We have watched him go from server to chef to manager. He makes this place special. He is like a part of our family...Dino is always friendly and professional and makes sure we are taken care of. Go there for your special occasions...or when you just want a great meal. Make sure to go on an empty stomach...it's a LOT of food!
Todd Motsinger
Angelo was amazing!!! Thank you for making our night so special!!

Gary Barmore
Had a great family style dinner with excellent service.
Shout out to Shirley for a job well done.
Donald Josue
Great food. Alot for your budget. Outstanding staffs
Charles Starcher
The food has kind of changed for the worse. I used to love it. We went on the Sunday before valentines Day. they were dead. I spent 100 bucks for two of us and was disappointed the stuffed pasta platter we had did not taste the same and had an American cheese taste to it. The sausage stuffed shells had sausage like you would get on a cheap pizza . Pre-cooked junk. 18 bucks for a small calamari that was greasy and over cooked. I don't think we will be back. Use to go 4 or 5 times a year for a treat. Hopefully, they can figure stuff out . Don't mind spending a little extra for quality and big portions, but it wasn't that.
Gina Stephenson
Holiday meal with my fellow nurse leaders and we had a great time in this fun environment! The reservation process was easy, the server (Brian) was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Already planning on next years holiday celebration! Thank you for a great time!
Ethan Apke
Really good food and hospitality towards everyone of their customers. Would defintley recommend.
Brittany H
Had an amazing time for my fiancés birthday last November! This was the only restaurant where I could easily reserve a table for 12 around dinner time. Had a great “family feel” to it, and the food was OUTSTANDING! We loved their lasagna and salmon dishes. Also, our server was incredibly kind and helpful! It was fun when they came out and sang the Buca Birthday song too. Thanks for a wonderful night and some amazing memories! ☺️
Colleen Geary
Amazing indoor decor, awesome tasty food, great service! My sister and I dined there today, my first visit there, and I was in awe, with every bit of it.! My new favorite place, and sad that I haven't visited this establishment before today! I will definitely be back, as much as possible!!
Becky Gordon
Lunch today, March 18 in Louisville was great. We were a large group (25 ladies, separate checks which I know servers hate) Service was great, food was great. A very personable chef and our server Rihanna handled everything wonderfully.
Brionna Bowles
My experience here was awesome! Amazing food and our waitress was the best! Shelby greeted us with a amazing smile and knew her way around the menu. She was amazing help. I will ask for her again again. Thanks for the amazing service.
TheReal jdollar
Manager was our host for the evening for party of 12 ! She was super nice experience was great ! Food was beyond fantastic!! From Caesar Salad’s to fresh homemade bread to pasta dishes out of this world . Fabulous meatballs . Only bad thing was too stuffed for dessert! I can only imagine
Helarie Pancho-Minns
I really enjoyed our time here..the servings were huge and the food was delicious
Simplistic -Artist
Went here for a band trip today and the service was amazing! Amazing staff with wonderful food!
advKAT01
Got our food to go because it would have been 1 hour and 30 mins wait for a table. To-Go orders are fast but we were traveling and they don't put any utensils or napkins. Didn't put the vinegar in. When I asked for extra twice....after going back in...I still only got one tiny thing of it. They did give me a free can of coke and mountain dew. The lasagna and bread was good! But for the price it should have been a little more. I really think they should do a free salad for to go orders as well. It would make the 25$ lasagna and bread even better!! Staff was nice! Bathrooms were dirty and no paper towels.
Dean Chandler
Had a wedding rehearsal dinner and this place is awesome, they treat you like family. Shout out to Gabby and all the servers, cooks and hosts that made this dinner awesome. We will be back very soon, check them out.
diana zamano
Amazing service! They went above and beyond for me. Good food and great workers!

Be sure to bring your phone. They no longer offer menus at the table for dining choices (for Covid reasons). However, they gladly keep a drink menu on the table (WTH?!). I find this horrible because I want to see the various choices on ONE page and my phone is not that large and I can't see print that small. That being said the food was great and ample portions. The service left a little to be desired - perhaps they're out of practice????

Brooke took care of us while we were there. She was very knowledgeable of the restaurant's history and menu, which was cool since it was our first time there. She also went out of her way to help us, was very friendly, and allowed us to take pictures like the nerdy tourists we are. The food was absolutely amazing and the servings were enough that you definitely don't leave hungry. We'll definitely be back and recommend this place to everyone.
Seth Organ
They handled the massive group of 250 high school students very well. Food pretty good
Kathy Acra
Great Place for Authentic Italian. Great Service. Enormous Servings❤

The food was fantastic and the servers were amazing 100% recommended

Buca di Beppo knows how to celebrate. If you can get your fellow diners to agree on a few items to share, it's a great experience. My family resisted but I persisted, and they all enjoyed the two different salads we shared, which were scrumptious. Next, we shared Chicken Carbonara (which was tender & tasty) with spaghetti & meatballs, which hit the spot.
Sarah Stoffregen
Everything was great from the mozzarella bread sticks to the sangria to the brownie icecream dessert!! The spicy rigatoni and cheese manicotti were both great!

It was ok. Gotten giftcards for a gift. I would have given 2 stars if I had paid myself. Food was ok, not bad .. just not great. I would not plan to go back.
Walrus Wall
Place and staff was amazing! Food tastes great as well.
Jim Kramer
Chef Michael and his team did a great job. We love it.
Capt Caveman
Came for our anniversary, didn't realize it was prom night. Thankfully we had reservations. Food was expensive but large portioned, and tasted great.
Alison McNew-Sabo
Bruschetta and Eggplant Parmesan! The perfect combination 👍. I have to say, I really love this place. The food is always wonderful and the customer service is excellent. …
David Dillard
Had to get our own plates off other tables. Chicken Parmesan came without pasta of any kind; surprised us. Never had chicken park w/o pasta. Not a bad experience, but expected better as compared to other Buca's.
Jschmard
Amazing food and service! Amanda did an awesome job!
Douglas Ruth
A family friend took us here and we didn't know what to expect. I was not familiar with this style of eating. For those who don't know, its like a family style eating where you order a dish to split between everyone. I was skeptical at first as we have slightly different tastes however the Chicken Alfredo was on point! Very unique atmosphere as well. Lots of cool art and pictures on the walls to look at.
Toby Rouchka
5 stars for Star!! Very kind to our large party of 14 people and was very attentive and provided us with everything we needed. 10/10 recommend dining with Star!!
Chandler Key
The experience was great! We had a party of fifty people and they served us well! Always serving our needs, even accommodated vegan/gluten-free people.
Angela Trigg
We brought 120 students on a field trip and they were the absolute best!! Good food, quick service, and kind servers. Thanks for a great experience.
Maurice Bauman
Atmosphere is great..food not so good. Paid $200.for dinner for 4. Would much rather have gone to Applebees and paid 2 for $20. Waitress was very nice, she gave excellent services.
Gwaltney8815
The food was really good( huge portions).I had spaghetti and ordered Italian sausage Id probably would Go with the regular garlic bread next time.
Madison Douglas
I forgot how much I love Bucca and I’m glad to have come back! Michael was very friendly and easy to talk to when my friends and I arrived. I’m usually the last person to order when I go out to eat, but he knew all of the dishes so well it was surprisingly easy to order… and ordering family portions that everyone likes. It’s obvious he really cares about the restaurant and the people in it. Hope he’s there next time we visit!!!
David Crow
Food was pretty good, better than you'd expect from a big chain. Wasn't crowded, at least early in the evening. Pleasant service, fun atmosphere.
Terrikka Nicole Burger
Love this place. Cozy. Love all the pictures. I feel close to a different culture here!
Danielle Lockhart
We were there for my bffs wedding reception. Started out very rough. The bride however handled the situation well. She had a polite conversation with the GM and everything turned out well after that. Almost everyone that worked there seemed miserable with the exception of the GM and out incredible waitress Andrea! I'm giving it 4 stars because of Andrea and the GM, also the food was great! Probably would have given a lower rating if Andrea and the GM weren't so helpful.
Tina Voytko
I was able to order online from Pennsylvania and had a full order from salad, main course, desert, and drink delivered to family in Louisville Ky who just had a baby, the transaction was easy and I was able to watch in live detail online when my order was made, to when it left the buying to when it was delivered. The family i sent it to said the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place
Katherine Drumm
We came in with a reservation for 17 & Star served us so well. She was so sweet & fun & made us feel so welcomed. She knew her stuff, too! Thank you, Star!
L Hannan
A1 - Chef food, service and personal care is the tops. We had a mishap and the Chef came to the rescue and now wears the Hero Cape. I highly recommend this Delicious, outstanding, kind, patient place of dining and festive place of full enjoyment. Bravo!! Buono Eccellente!
Melissa Brendemuehl
Really enjoyed the meal and atomospher of the restaurant. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the bathroom was dirty. By dirty I don't mean only the toilet and sinks but also the room in general. Thick dust on pictures, top of tile on walls, floors filthy and just generally unkept.
jimmy wallace
Had dinner at Buca and couldn’t have asked for better service. Our waitress Star was awesome and the manager Andrea was fantastic. These 2 ladies and Michael the chef were so good. Loved the dining experience.
Margaret Baker
I went to Buca for my first time with some friends who just raced about it. I was skeptical at first but let me tell you I wasn’t disappointed. The food was great, we ordered the Chicken Parmesan and the Alfredo to go with it. We got the Tiramisu for dessert and it was just heavenly. I also got a sparkling sangria which was great. Kudos to the bartender. But a big shoutout to our server Shelby. She was the sweetest little thing. So attentive, not one of us had an empty cup the whole time. Not only was she nice she was funny as can be. Had us cracking up the whole time. I’ll definitely be looking for her when I come back!!! Give this girl a raise.
Eric Goins
Buca di Beppo is hands down the best Italian Restaurant me and my family has ever been to. The service at this Louisville location is bar none and their food is absolutely immaculate!! This is a must for anybody wanting to do a family get together, company meeting or anything with people gathering together to share their company and to enjoy a wonderful atmosphere with through the roof service and top notch food. The food is a little pricey , however the serving size is absolutely astonishing!! You definitely get what you pay for at this restaurant!! I will definitely be going back to this restaurant with family, friends and loved ones. Thanks again for the tremendous service and outstanding quality of food that you serve each and every customer !!
Regina Pimentel
We were a large group traveling for a conference and had an amazing time with our server Star!!! She helped make our experience so wonderful! You are a 5 star server!
Reece
Very lovely dinner experience! We walked in and were greeted by this super nice girl with bangs covering up her eyes. Not sure how she could see anything, maybe it's echolocation! Anyways she walked with such pep in her step and scooted us all way over to our table. The food was great, hot, flavor, tasty! Much love to the Buca family.
Melissa Moss
Great food & fun atmosphere! We were celebrating my birthday & my husband got reservations so we could eat in the kitchen. We enjoyed interacting with “The Boss” & the other guy working in the kitchen. (Sorry we didn’t catch their names!) They took good care of us! The food was great with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow! In addition I got a huge, delicious birthday dessert with plenty to share with my family & friends! Thanks for a great evening!
Traci Kerns
We have eaten at this location multiple times and the food and service couldn’t be better. My mom says “the meatballs melt in your mouth”. My husband has to have his own personal side of their delicious marinara. I personally have always loved their pizza. We learned today there is a farm that raises and cans their tomatoes especially for Buca; perhaps this is why the ingredients are always so fresh. We drive over an hour to eat there and hope that our former waiter, who is now the restaurant manager, is there. We will be back soon!
Bryan Winn
Excellent service. I felt that several of our dishes coul d have had a little more spice.. overall, great meal
Cammy Konrad
Food was so good. Nice servers. Michael was awesome
Nikki Con (Nikki vs Nikki)
Our server Justin was simply a great guy. He made sure we were taken care of. Ask for him to be your sever if you ever visit this restaurant. The food is decent. I would eat here again.
Nicholas Kimbro
I took my husband here for the first time tonight. I have been here before. Usually the staff brings you through the kitchen to seat you, with covid they don't hopefully we can experience that again soon. As always the food was delicious we had baked rigatoni. The service was superb and our server was exceptional. The decor is, well..... almost every inch of the walls are covered but it makes it feel homey! Great place all around definitely recommend.
joe mama
One word. PERFECT.
Phenominal food and service. Waitress Terri was superb. Highly recommended. Will definatley be back, when we are traveling through.
Conner Jarvis
Went here last night with some pals and had a great experience. Savanna, the host, was friendly and our server, Anna, was great. The chef (very tall) even came out to our table to make sure the food was tasty, which it was.
Tonisha Thomas
First, the food was amazing, can’t wait to go back. Secondly, I’m big on customer service to the point that if it was poor I would not return… That was not my experience at Buca. Shelby was so great and experienced. She showed so much love to us. Literally will be back just to see her. My overall experience was pretty great!
A Howard
Friendly & cozy restaurant
I love this place. The appetizing smell of the garlic bread cooking greets you when the door opens. The decor is eclectic Italian, with dining tables arranged cozily. Food is served family style. The food is old-fashioned Italian--people pleasing. (For me it a pleasant familial sensation.)
Last visit was for Thanksgiving; the meal was sensational, quite tasty for food prepared in large quantities. The wine & cocktail selection was excellent. What I liked best was that we could have chosen from the regular menu as well. Service is excelllent.
Catherine Cannon
Our neighborhood Lunch Bunch had lunch today at your restaurant in Louisville, KY. Chef Michael was so kind to check on us. Our food was delicious and
ReeAnna gave us wonderful service.
4utumn Phillips
This is one SMALL serving it was delicious well worth the price which is VERY affordable. One of my new favorites. Olive garden can go to hell ✊
Wayne Muscar
Kudos to Buca di Beppo for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner today. Not wanting to spend several days cooking, we decided to order the heat and serve Thanksgiving meal from here. The portions were ample and the food was Great! No clean-up, very little preparation time needed, and we got to have a great day to relax, enjoy and be thankful for our many blessings. Thanks to you for this great, easy meal that tasted so good, it was like my wife cooked the whole thing.
Rob Reed
Great place for a nice dinner. Note that items are family sized and most feed multiple people. Cool atmosphere and a great staff.
Catherine W
It is not bad vibe. Perfect for family or friends or group for dinner or lunch together. I like this Pope Room. It is quite interesting. But can be little expensive when order food because it is family meal.
Zachary Pfeifer
It was so awesome! The food was amazing and I really enjoyed the Chicken Parm. Definitely worth it!!! Get one! Martha and Mara where awesome servers! The absolute best!!!
yukeithya neal
HUGE portions. You could get 1 dish and share it, or if you're dining with other people and they get something different, you could still share.
Emily McKenzie
The food was ok, our server was very nice. The restaurant itself seemed worn and run down-- for the price of their entrees, I would've expected a better experience.
Jared Hamman
Food was good, fun to get the samplers with a group of friends. Our server Star was friendly quick and attentive. Good place to eat.
Dawn Reed
I recently went to place an order on a 2 for Tuesday promotional day and also had a birthday reward to use. Chef Parnter Michael and Anna, who took my order, were both super customer orientated and made this work for me. (two separate orders) They were a pleasure to talk to and they were happy to make me happy, this was evident. The food is always good there, no matter what you order! Thanks to these two team members for making my experience one that will make me tell others and make me want to come back!
Taz Artisan
Great ambiance. If you are famished this resolves that issue. The portions are enormous and you definitely have leftovers for days. Our Latina server was on point, hustled and she was awesome. We had a dinner party of 14 and can't believe not one error was made. There are minimal Vegan options, but we were able to make it work. I said, "Take the milk, cheese and meat out please and thank you." So she did. "Try the Apple Gorgonzola salad minus the cheese, it is the bomb!" T$
Damian Pataluna
Buca is a great place for dinner. I had the chicken Parm. Delicious. Quantities are huge so 1 meal feeds two for sure. Service was quick and the wine reasonably priced. I'll be back.
Karen Ullrich
Chef Michael made the most delicious tomato basil soup! Magnifique! Our server, Rianna (sp) waited on our party of 21 flawlessly and very professionally.
Tina Tina
Amazing nigh with delicious food
Steve Gillette
If dining for 2 you better share the same menu item. We asked that if we ordered different dishes can we get a smaller portion and they said no. Wife ordered fettuccine and I ordered rigatoni. We also had mozzarella cheese bread and 2 drinks. Shew $80. That's where they get you. Fettuccine was good but rigatoni with sausage was dry and bland. Mozzarella cheese bread was lacking on the cheese. We'll stay with Olive Garden where we get salad, unlimted hot bread, 2 drinks and 2 dinner menu items for about $40.
Michelle Connors
Dinner was great, service was even better. Our pasta was absolutely magnificent and it got to our table less than 7 minutes after we ordered. Shirley our waitress was even better! Constantly checking if we needed anything while refilling water, bread and napkins. Was extremely kind and constantly had a smile on her face. One of the best experiences I've had, alot thanks to Shirley.
Barton Cooper
Good food, service. Family style serving.
John ford
Fantastic dinner this evening. It really started at the front and continued throughout the meal. We were even serenaded by Chef singing Frank Sinatra as he was talking to tables in the dining room. I would like to mention names because they deserve the utmost kudos. Savanna the host at the front was extremely professional and gave us this incredible tour of each room. Our server Cassidy was so friendly and seemingly anticipated everything we needed before we needed. And then there's the Chef, I believe he said his name was Michael, he must have one heck of a team in his kitchen because I think he spent more time talking with guests and making people laugh then he did in the kitchen. Even with that said, the food was INCREDIBLE, and didn't miss a beat. Nothing that came out disappointed. This was our fist time at Buca and thanks to this group of people we will tell everyone we know and be back frequently.
Chris H
AMAZING! I just ordered through a delivery service and it was some of the best food I've eaten all year! Chef Michael did an AWESOME job making lasagna and chicken parmesan for my wife and I. The cheese in the lasagna was very good and the chicken was breaded to perfection.
I don't know what they're putting in the cheese over there, but I HIGHLY recommend!!
Maegan Powell
I have visited Bucas several times over the past 6 years and I find that it's hit or miss. We ate lunch here recently and the food was just...ok. It was warm, not hot, despite it being dead inside. The service was...ok.
Jeffrey Mikan
Went here tonight and was blown away! The food, service and atmosphere is unmatched by any restaurant in the ville. I would also like to thank Michael for going above and beyond in customer service. I will not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone.
Alex Steinline
Wow! Wandered into this place with a few friends while on vacation in Louisville and could not have been more impressed. It's the type of restaurant where you order giant plates of food for the table and share. We went with the lasgina, Alfredo, and manicotti all of which were delicious and plentiful. The 4 of us had more than enough for leftovers the next day. They have a great wine list and a full bar!
The service was second to none! Our waitress, Cassidy, was quick, friendly, and attentative. Our glasses were never empty and our food arrived fast and hot. I 100% recommend this place and will add it to my list of must visits next time in in Louisville!
tiffany camp
Justin Biller was such a sweet & pleasurable waiter. He made sure I had everything I needed in a timely manner. I would definitely come back and hope to have Justin as a waiter again! He provided me with excellent customer service and was very gentle & polite ❤ Great 1st time experience!
John Price
We had a birthday dinner there tonight on 11/09/19 a party of 11. The food was excellent, and the portions were huge. The service was awesome but our server was Shirley. She was so nice. Nothing short of FABULOUS. Exceeded all expectations. Everyone left full and about to bust. If you get a chance to go here we hope you are lucky enough to have Shirley.
Emily Fabrizio
I hadn't been here for a few years, but it didn't disappoint. Can't wait to go back!
Lailah Dohn
My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night and we were told the wait was 30 mins, but were able to be seated before that. Nykki was our waitress and we asked for her recommendations. We got the large rigatoni that she said was her favorite. The portion was huge (she warned us lol) and we actually were able to take home 2 to go containers that were stuffed! We had the cheesecake for dessert and it was so good, and huge too. Nykki was so nice, helpful, and had excellent recommendations! We will be back soon :-)
Melena Ashbaugh
I will most definitely be back, it was all around awesome. My server was very kind and prompt with things, gave me a very welcoming feeling. Her name is Shelby, I have been a server myself not an easy job but this young lady isn't scared of hard work, it shows.
Selina Bass
It had been over 10 years since my husband and I had been to Buca di Beppo. The atmosphere was very different from what I remembered it. We were there for my husband's best friend's birthday. His wife and grown children were there also. Our reservation was at 6:00 p.m and we didn't leave until 7:45 p.m. Nothing negative had kept us there, it was that we were really enjoying ourselves. The service was awesome, the food was plentiful and delicious and the atmosphere was cheerful. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time! I can't believe we hadn't been there for over 10 years. Our table was sometimes too loud, mostly with jokes and laughter. But so were the other tables around us. This is a great place to have a large get together. Oh... The drinks were delicious too!
Kyra Christmas
We had a wonderful time! There was a group of 50+ of us that came on a trip and we had absolutely amazing service from our chef and waitresses!!!!
John Dotta
Had a work Xmas party here. Attentive staff. Good wine. Nice selection of food. Authentic Italian taste and vibes. Was very pleased with them.
Sarah Herrmann
Food is great. Service is slow. Took 30 mins to get a drink from the bar. Server was very kind, but celebrating my birthday there was a bust.
Cory Mosely
The birthday sundae was the bomb. The best dinner, all was wonderful.
Chris Wilkerson
Food was average. Service was good. It was even more economical than we expected with two of us leaving full with a $23 bill. We made reservations for 8:30 pm,and we only had to wait about five minutes to be seated. The staff was friendly, the food came quickly, and the restrooms were clean. All this combined with a fun authentic Italian atmosphere is the reason I easily gave it a 4 star...... No doubt I'll eat there again in the future.
rana franke
We had our traditional Thanksgiving meal again this year at this fine restaurant. The service was excellent as always. Kudos to our waiter, Adam for his wonderful service and his patience with us and to the manager who greeted us while we were enjoying the dinner. Also, when I made the reservations for our party of 8, Stephanie was very courteous and professional. The decor is festive, its puts you in a good mood plus the fact everyone employed here treat you like friends. I highly recommend this place, love it!
Andrea Morris
We love dining at Buca Louisville. The service here is always excellent. Tonight we had Shirley, and in short she is a phenomenal server. Our cups were never empty, she anticipated our needs bringing us additional items and offering things seconds before we were about to ask for them. The meal was exceptional. Our food was served quickly and everything was delicious. The brussel sprouts in particular were delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious welcoming us as we came in. The manager, Suzannah, came and checked to make sure everything was up to our liking. To make this even better this was a celebration for my mother and she could not have been happier. We will definitely return.
Shari McCauley
Clean, friendly team and delicious food! We have a big family dinner on Wednesday and this week was amazing! For some reason we haven't been to Bucca but after last night we will definitely be back sooner rather than later 😁 …
Jamie Vieitez
The food was excellent! I am so stuffed and have leftovers. Shirley was our server and she was perfect. Suzannah seated us and checked on us, made sure we were taken care of and completed the whole amazing experience! Will definitely go back!
4Wheelin03
Our son and his family live in Taylorsville, KY and each time we go there to visit them we always call Buca di Beppo’s in Louisville to see if chef Michael is working and if he is, we make sure to stop there for dinner!!! He is very personable, always make a point of visiting the tables to see if his patrons are happy with their meals, willing to answer questions, but most of all – he is an amazing chef!!! We do a lot of travel all over this country and have never had a bad meal at any of the various locations. However, the Louisville location beats them all, especially when chef Michael is working.
By the way, this chain is the only one we have found that has not cheapened their Chicken Marsala recipe. Most all restaurants – Ma & Pa as well as chains have started making their sauce more like a light tan flavorless thin gravy. Yuck!!! Not Buca’s. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't follow suit. We love the fact that none of your food come premade and the taste proves it!!!
Kaelyn Goatley
Went for the first time the other day and the food was amazing such a good experience! Our sever, Shelby, was the sweetest and she provided me with the best customer service! definitely will be coming back!!
Greg Smith
Love this place! The atmosphere is relaxed, warm and very interesting. The food is fantastic every time we come. But I want to talk about our server, Shirley. She was so nice and helpful and she has a wonderful smile. She made our dinner experience much more enjoyable. Thanks Shirley, we look forward to seeing you on our next visit.
Mario Ransan
The food was fantastic and we had an awesome time. We also got the chance to speak with the chef and the bar manager and had a blast. A fantastic evening overall.
Joseph Vicars
Ate with my son, on a Friday evening. Star, our waitress was attentive and accommodating. The meatballs were incredible. Will definitely be back! Thanks Star!
Taylor Zelivetz
We had dinner reservations tonight for our anniversary and the service was excellent!
Fast service, very clean! Shirley was our waitress and she was so nice! She was friendly and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend coming to Buca di Beppo
Cathy Mizell
Shirley was a wonderful server and the food was delicious as always. We went on Mother's Day and even though it was CRAZY busy Shirley kept up and kept our large party happy. Thank you so much for the great service! We will definitely be back .
Kalyn Weaver
CiCi did an amazing job! We were a party of 13, and she was one of the best waiters we had. She’s a hard-worker and sincere server! Thank you for the great experience.
M.E.B.
America, what are we thinking?!?!...Stop eating out. Horrible service, horrible food (black hair in mine - Chicken Cannelloni, ) unbelievably expensive prices for what you receive! For what/why? Revolt. Eat at home! Do to the right thing.
Sammi Brown
Great place as always for family celebration for my birthday with my daughter Michele and her husband Bret, their daughter Mariah and her two Littles. That would be my Great Grandchildren Toby and Livy. Thank you all for a wonderful party!!
Matthew Ball
I had never been here before and just assumed it was another Italian restaurant, I was wrong. All of their food is served family style, meaning everything on the menu comes in large portions for 3 or more people depending the size you order. They have different sized portions for wether you have a small group or say 5 or more. It is on the pricier end, the hardest part about eating here is getting everyone to agree on a dish because there's a large menu to choose from. The food was very good and the server was very kind.
Randy Coulter
Nice place and food was good.
A little pricey for a large family unless you just get one thing and share. If I were gonna do that, I'd fix spaghetti at home
A little too dark for family restaurant and not really a date night place, so....
Giving them the benefit of the doubt at 4 stars.
Donna Burkhart
Food is always excellent! Today we got the spaghetti with meatballs for the first time. Their marinara sauce has such great flavor. We bought a jar to take home. The meatballs are delicious and enormous, 1/2 lb each. Our server Chelsea was attentive and prompt. Thank you for a great experience!
Peggy Nash
Came for my birthday dinner and had the most amazing server, Shirley! She was attentive, informative, made great recommendations, and you could tell she really enjoyed her job! This was my first experience here and I’ll definitely be back! They also know how to celebrate a birthday!
Prederator Schwartz
Marta was our waitress... phenomenal! Prompt, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu items!
Bus crew, host crew, so attentive and hardworking! Made sure the place was sanitized and ready for the next group. Spectacular!
Manager or shift supervisor... absolutely incredible! Encouraged the team members and thanked them for their hard work... offered complimentary appetizers for a wait that was out of their control... and showed support for the wait staff through a very busy time... excellent example!
Kitchen... superb! Delicious! From the perfect toast on the bruschetta to the exact amount of mozzarella on the eggplant parmigiana... incredible!!!
This was my first time experience here, and I will tell recommend to all!!!
Thank you Saturday, August 29th, 2020 staff for the best dinner ever!
Johnny Mc Nubs
My wife and I go to dinner here at minimum, every year for our anniversary. I love the food, the service is very good. Most years I do something special at dinner for my wife, I hired a singer one year( one song) , had some special scrypt that was placed before we were sat on another year, nothing elaborate. They are a great place to visit for a special occasion or just a night out. Yes, it is not the cheapest Italian around, but if you are after a good tasting food, large portions you can take home, a unique atmosphere and a good experience. This is a great place for that. Even over 14 years of going here, the experience stays the same. The staff changes but the demeanor does not which would imply that it is a company value. I will return and would recommend it to anyone.
Jennifer Clark
My parents went to Buca for their anniversary/mom’s birthday and asked me to leave a review specifically for their waitress Shirley. They said she was the best waitress they’ve ever heard, and she made their entire meal experience fantastic and deserves recognition for her outstanding service and excellent attitude. Thank you, Shirley, for making my parents’ dining experience a great one! :-)
dbone61
Went for my wife’s and granddaughter’s birthdays, 7 of us in all, counting 2 toddlers. We sat at the kitchen table, which comfortably seats 6, so it was a little crowded. No worries though as our awesome waitress Shirley, and her able bodied trainee Evan, kept our table clear of used dishes, promptly prepared our leftovers to take home (no small task as we had apps, salad, three entrees, going to three different households) and led a rousing rendition of the Buca birthday song! The food was great (ordered too much but it was a celebration) but the service really stood out! We all had a blast and left in wheelbarrows LOL. Thanks Shirley for making the night great!
Kelly Finney
Service was good. Our server was Patrick, he was very nice. I just feel the food wasn't as good as the price would indicate. The fried calamari was soggy not crisp. The main dishes were good and the desert which we got an Italian cream cake and cheesecake were both dry. As in when you put your spoon into the cheesecake it crumbled apart. Not good. And the cream cake was basically the same.
chris green
Food was very good. My children ate more calamari than my wife and I did. Portions are huge (even the small sizes.) The server we had, Jeff, did an amazing job. He was helpful, attentive, and overall really nice. Will definitely be back
Hannah Hatton
We have been going to Bucas on Hurstbourne for nearly a decade. We absolutely love it! The wait staff is always amazing and very friendly! The manager, Dino, is the most friendly person. He always makes a point to stop at our table and talk to our kids, as well as us. Micah, our server, was very accommodating to our many requests. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone. A five star place for sure!!
Debra Coulter
This is the first time here with family. The food was fantastic the helpings was so much. We had a birthday for a 2 yr old and Thier ice cream /brownie dessert was awesome. Shirley our hostess was fantastic she met all our needs, I give her a 5 star review also.
Rita Newton
My mother and I recently dined at Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant, we were asked if we wanted to sit in the kitchen area! Reluctant at first we did, so glad we did it was such a wonderful experience for both of us! Getting to see all the delicious food being prepared, and even got to sample some of the dishes! Dino and his staff made our day, the chefs were so nice and what a show, reccomend the kitchen table to everyone, thanks for a very memorable day❤❤❤
Brittany Garcia
My family came here to celebrate our littles birthdays and we had an extraordinary time! The manager Suzannah was super helpful throughout the night and our waitress Shirley was very attentive and was the best server I have ever had! I would definitely recommend this place and will be going again! Oh, and the food was bomb.
Jeff Shelman
This place took a turn for the worse several years ago, but the young man running it now has it back to the top of our list. Dino is so involved visiting tables and talking to everyone like they're family. Don't even get me started on the food. It's not just cookie cutter Italian, it's so much better than that. Our server Micah was excellent and even though he was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything. That's what happens when a restaurant has great leadership, and as an experienced restaurant manager myself I know when a ship is well guided. Dino and Mike are going the extra mile and it shows. We will be back many times over.
Cristy Brisko
HUGE servings! Food tasted awesome. There were 5 in our party & we each ordered a small dish to share. We had plenty left overs. With 15% tip the bill was $185. So a little pricey but was great!
Cynthia Coles
First time at this restaurant and location. The meal was delicious and our server Patrick was AWESOME! He was attentive and hilarious! Just like one of the family. I will definitely eat here and at other Buca di beppos in the future. Only downside was that I lost my bracelet and am waiting to hear back from restaurant in case it is there.

The server Ally was very Nice and the Food was Delicious we ordered the Spaghetti and meatballs and the Stuffed chicken they both was Delicious definitely recommend this place .Either for dine in or carry out.
Matt Martin
great food and even greater service. Thanks to Shirley we will surely be back. We had a great SUNDAE meal and dessert. She had amazing blue hair on top of it that made our experience even better. Strongly suggest to come see her!!
Janelle Pritchett
Great atmosphere. Took a large group and everything was flawless. Worked with Sheila to arrange the group and she was great! Ordered from the banquet menu which allowed our visit to be very fast as no orders had to be taken or anything. Will certainly take a large group to this location again.
Julie Jeanes
The portions were generous; however, the food was very underwhelming. I expect highly seasoned and garlic when I eat Italian. The food was bland and borderline. I have enjoyed this restaurant in the past but will unfortunately not return for another meal. The server was very friendly and made you smile with her bubbly positive attitude. This meal was just not worth the money or wait.
David Cardwell
First time there, we had brussel sprouts and prosciutto for starters, it was delicious, I couldn't stop eating it. We enjoyed spaghetti and meatballs for the entree, it was good, the portions were huge. It was take home Tuesday, we got a free rigatoni to bring home and bake, how nice is that? Steven was our waiter and did an excellent job making us feel at home, just like the family atmosphere. You will not leave hungry, if you do, it's your own fault. Thanks Buca, we will definitely be back.
Melanie Abner
Great Food!! If you leave hungry it's your own fault!!
molly gilkison
Star in the bar area was amazing! She recommended the rum punch bowl & it was the best!! The food was amazing as always.
Emmanuel Valenzuela
a restaurant that never disappoints from greeting to leaving. menu and servers are complete with information to make choices. extensive cocktail and bar menu.
Dw young
We enjoyed our meal overall, yet we went because of a special they emailed me. It was $10 off $30 and a free desert. The food quality was good and the free desert was great, but truthfully to me Buca is a little pricey for the food you get.
Safety precautions for covid was in place and they did well with them for dinning in.
Rochele “Nuggets Mom” B-Moore
Great family atmosphere. The portions are a true value for the money. I took my 10 and 21 year old sons for dinner and ended up with take home boxes. This never happens with us...lol. I recommend trying the chicken cannelloni. Flavorful and filling!
Kenneth Vargas
My father's day gift was dinner from Buca Di Peppo and had the best mozzarella sticks along with the calamari and then the chicken parmagin and for dessert the cheesecake. Everything was superb great fathers day dinner. Then the following day I put in for another take out on the chicken parmagin again because it was delicious and the tiramisiu for dessert. Thank you Mikaela, Jacqueline and Lisa for great service and Nick. My goto Fave Italian specialty restaurant.
Robby H
Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants I have eaten. The wife and I stopped in by chance on our vacation. After eating I changed our vacation plans so we could stop and eat there again. The only thing better than the food was the staff. Thank you Michael Hungerford for making out experience amazing.
Mark Clark
Waitress was horrible, we sat there for 20 minutes with empty glasses. What food we ate before we got up and left was great. Overall her service sucked!
Stan Triplett
Good food and good service. Food is set up as family style and your order will feed 3 (small) or 5 (large). I wanted to order a separate item, but went with the groups entree' because it was their family style. Would like to see them set up a plate for a single order.
Sherry Stroud
The food is good and plenty of it. The Sangria is my all time favorite. I could drink it every night. The chocolate cake is awesome. The wait staff is polite and extremely helpful with food and drink selection. Good food, good drink, great atmosphere. Just bring your friends and have an awesome evening.
ciauna Conklin
I ate at Buca di Beppo for a quick bite to eat while I was waiting for my tires on my car to be done at Discount Tires. My servers were so attentive, very nice, and all the way perfect!!! (Markie and Brooke) even though they have big portions since I was a person of ONE i got to choose from the lunch menu which very thoughtful for people of one who’d choose to go there. i’d highly recommend going here!
Dennis Nguyen
I had an amazing experience. Everyone was really friendly and the layout was quite interesting. It’s nice to see an Italian restaurant have such interesting decor as well as the entrance that goes through the kitchen. I’d recommend coming here. The only the preventing me from giving it a full five stars is the fact that the pasta wasn’t anything amazing I have eaten. In fact, I was a little disappointed but I still thought it was good enough to finish.
Libby Hoffman
The best service (Latisha) and impeccable food... the dessert was the best tiramisu I've ever eaten
Stryker v16
Yee, good ol' Buca Di Beppo. I have fantastic memories here. Most of them being on my friends birthdays. I love how they sing their own happy birthday song, absolutely love it. The last time I went to Buca, I ordered a pepperoni pizza, which as their food usually is, it was marvelous. Where do I get started on the atmosphere? Their whole place is filled with artwork and colorful lights. I can't recall if they had any music, but that right there would be enough to say their atmosphere was great. The service ranges from slow to average, but it's worth the wait. The food is the best. It really isn't meant to be eaten by one person, as the meal is so large you can share it with at max 4 people. I always have to get a box here too, it's unavoidable. 5/5, would eat again.
C MLA
I liked it because the service was great... just didn't like that you couldn't get individual portions...2 of us went and I have dietary restrictions that make it hard for me to eat was others like, so we had to get enough for 6 to be able to feed 2. The colossal brownie was amazing though.
Calvin Man
The breadsticks at this place are fantastic, great view, and great spaghetti.
Elsa Aragon
amazing food!! amazing scenery! they were very welcoming and the chef goes above and beyond!
Alexus LW
Good food, big plates good for family dinner. Cici was our server and she was very sweet and funny and helped us pick out a great dinner! Great recommendations! Make sure you ask for Cici!
Lisa Malone
I Love Buca do Beppo Chicken Carbonara &
Gorgonzola Apple Salad. Are my Favorites.
It's been awhile March 6th 2020 I'm readying
Myself for a Visit Soon. Before Quarantine
I'd go at least once a Month.
Joseph Michelotti
Great food and the staff was friendly and attentive. The decor was interesting and the food was great. Being Italian is was cool to be there watching Italy defeat England in the Euro Cup
Whitney Eversole
Service was great and we sat in the kitchen. Chef gave our son a meatball that he loved and talked to us about the food. I wish the food was better.. tastes cheap. They just need fresh ingredients to make this feel less like a chain.
Sonya McNeil
Excellent service from Shirley! We had a large group and she handled us all with grace. Food was delicious and came out quick. Great experience and will most definitely be back again!
Glenna Heimerdinger
As usual, we had very wonderful dinner. We got the Chicken Marsala and the mixed greens salad, which we always love. We also got the broccoli which was very good and the brussel sprouts which had a wonderful flavor. The staff treated us like family and we always feel so welcome and at home when we go. Love Buca and the staff. Thanks, guys!
Chris tomsky
Food was very good, and the portions were huge. Service was a little slow for as early as we arrived. Would recommend making reservations.
Achron Timeless
The food is amazing, but beyond that is the "family style" dining where you order a couple dishes and your entire group shares them. In always loved places like that but they're so rare to find an especially good one. The entire restaurant is covered in interesting photos and art and makes for a fun atmosphere. If it's your first time, ask for the tour. They'll even take you through the kitchen, which having worked in the industry is one of the cleanest kitchens I've seen in a place this busy.
Family Towles
Having ordering takeout during the pandemic, we discovered Buca's Birthday Bundles. It is supposed to feed 3 but we get 7 meals if you cut the large chicken parm into portions. We enjoy the fresh garden salad, bread, and pasta (love the the Penna alla vodka) but just want the cannolis and chocolate cake. The Birthday Bundle 2 would only be better with more cannolis and another slice of cake. It's definitely a nice treat after all the usual takeout.
Huss R
Decent food. Seems a bit over priced with some items. I know for a fact this restaurant was much different 10 years ago. Just better quality and ingredients. Back then garlic bread actually had huge chunks of garlic on it. Disappointing to see its no longer made that way. The a la carte style menu is nice and big portions so with that being said this restaurant is more suitable for larger parties. Our server was decent, probably wont be coming back as there are so many other Italian restaurants that are needing to be tried.
Emily Kohler
We just had one of the best nights out we've had in a long time. Our server, Beth was incredibly sunny and positive. She took such good care of us and everyone working tonight was so friendly! Our food was incredible. Amazing job, you guys!
St Ed
Nikki and the head chef were fantastic! Service impeccable, food delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and they treated us VERY well!
Kristi Morris
We enjoyed our time at Buca! The staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. Brittany was our waitress and she was not only efficient but also fun as she played right along with our antics. The portions were large but somewhat pricey. Overall, it was an awesome experience!
Gloria Peterson
Extremely limited gluten-free items. I ordered one of the entrees off the gf menu thinking it would be gluten-free pasta, but it was literally just chicken. No veggies, no carbs, just a plate of protein. I find that hard to consider a gluten-free "meal". Needless to say it was very tasty with unique flavors, I just ended up leaving hungry still.
james leach
AWESOME service! Manager Lisa was eager to please and keep happy! Bartender was outstanding! Food was amazing !!! Thank you !!!
Kmetz723
My husband and I went out for date night. Everything was going great until our water decides to forget everything I mean everything tried to over charge for our entree and forgot our garlic bread thank goodness the manager came to ask if everything was going good and we let him know and took a long time to get refills good thing we weren't choking. We love the food there but the front of house needs some training on customer service. We will be back but hoping not with the same waiter.
Maggie Casteel
It was our first time ever visiting a Buca and we had a great time overall! The waitstaff was very upbeat and attentive, and the atmosphere was fun yet very chill and casual. We ordered the appetizer trio with calamari, fried mac and cheese and fried mozzarella and it tasted fantastic. The cheesy garlic bread had way too much garlic for our liking, though, and we weren't able to eat more than 1 piece each so that felt like a waste. We ordered the quattro al forno as our main course, and it was overall pretty good. We would definitely come back, but we would change our order for next time.
Dennis Cooper
We celebrated a birthday here with a big group of people, including four children under 7, and the experience couldn’t have been better! Everyone enjoyed their food: spaghetti, chicken carbonara, Quattro forno, and Mac and cheese. All The dishes came out hot and fresh. I really like the atmosphere, and the kids enjoyed looking around at all the pictures and artwork. But the most pleasant surprise was how spot on the service was. Our server Shirley was one of the sweetest and most efficient servers I’ve had anywhere. If you come to Buca I recommend you ask to sit in her section. Thank you Buca di Beppo for a wonderful evening. We’ll be back.
Bobby Windell
Place was a packed house. so we got food to go. Got Spaghetti with meatballs to feed 10 for a birthday party and a mixed green salad. Charlotte was very helpful with the owner or manager coming out to make sure we were happy with our order. Italian dressing was amazing with the salad. Spaghetti was superb. Would suggest getting extra sauce. Highly Recommend this place- with so much to choose from may try to explore options we have never tried instead of playing it safe with the spaghetti next time
Jeremy Dysinger
Awesome team dinner. Party of 35ish. Great food, team bonding, and great service.
Melanie Holbrook
Tonight we decided to get out of a rut of always going to the same places. We decide to try Buca di Beppo. Our server Sonia was awesome. She explained the HUGE portion sizes and was patience answering all of our questions about ingredients due to severe food allergies. Of course we didn't listen and ordered way too much food, and we had to top it off and try 2 desserts! My husband, daughter and I truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It was a pleasure to meet one of the partners Michael that came at the end to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We will definitely be going back.
David Green
Decor was freaky but food was good and staff friendly
Alex Krentsel
Amazing food here. The service was phenomenal as well (thanks Steven!). We had the stuffed chicken and the fettuccini Alfredo. The portions are huge though.
A small feeds 2-3 people, and a large feeds 5-6 people, so don't be so intimidated by the prices.
Shelly Bisinger
Took my Mom to Buca for my birthday. We sat in the kitchen. It was amazing. Dino was absolutely wonderful. Our server was Michael and he was extremely attentive. Dino sat down and talked with us. Unfortunately I am allergic to garlic but Dino made this amazing dish that wasn't on the menu because he created it as he went. It was to die for. We will definitely be back very soon. Loved everything!! P.S. Dino, thank you for what you did for my dad. He was in awe.
Leila
My family and I eat here every year after St James Art Festival! The portions are large so a party of 6 to 8 can share a few entrees and appetizers. The staff are always friendly and accommodating 🍝👌🤩 …
michel
Make sure you're hungry or bring enough people with you because they serve family style. A small serving is for 3 people. Food tastes delicious. Fun atmosphere. Friendly servers with good service. Loved it.
0ptimusv0ltr0n
Let me just say, the 2 days have been terrible in my personal life, so my mom took us here to alleviate some stress and to celebrate my sons upcoming birthday. The experience did not disappoint. Everything was sooooo delicious. The manager Suzannah was kind and attentive and bought my son a huge sundae for his birthday. Our server Jess was sweet and attentive. And we were greeted by Shirley just as if we walked into her home. We have been attended by her a couple times before and she is always so pleasant and loving. I needed this tonight. My mood did a complete 180. Thank u to this wonderful group of people and to a lovely evening!
Karen Higdon
Just wanted to post a shout out to the manager and wait staff on Saturday 5/25, who went above and beyond to accommodate our request for a table change, so a friend with her special needs child could be more comfortable and stress free during dinner. They were respectful and non judgemental which was so awesome, and to top it off, our meal was delicious.
David Horner
Amazing management! Our school brought 130 middle schoolers and they handled us with grace, understanding, and a delicious experience. Thank you!!
Maggie Wild
This is after 2 adults ate. We split one of the meatballs between the both of us. This was enough for us to get another helping and half a meatball each. So good!. Fried Mozzarella an fettuccine alfredo was really good as well!
adarsh khemka
Price matches the quantity and quality.
elizabeth foushee
Shirley was an amazing server! She made us feel like part of the Buca family! She has such a passion for service and it shows in her smile and attitude. She is a key asset to your team! Great job Shirley, we will be back because of YOU!
Roi Cruz
The food was great and satisfying well worth the price. Ordered the trio appetizer, shrimp Fra diavlo and the pasta supremo. Each dish had a distinct and superb flavor. This was my first time here but I can definitely say it will not be my last and I highly recommend you try it. I must also commend the service as the staff was friendly and timely.
Megan Adams
Amazing food! The bruschetta was fantastic. Shelby was prompt, attentive, and so sweet! An awesome first time experience
Brook Cosby
We went for my Birthday we had such a nice and friendly staff, my husband and I always try to get something new everytime we go, their Icecream Sundae is a must, it's crazy how big it is, has brownies on the bottom chocolate and vanilla Icecream a heaping of homemade whipped cream (its definitely not store bought or outta a can believe me) and on top of all that, is a chocolate fudge drizzle. It's so good and you will have left overs from that alone. What we had for our entree was their parmesan chicken. It was so good crispy outside but a juicy tender inside, we also got a portion of fettuccine alfredo since the chicken doesnt come with spaghetti or anything, which I found was fine on it's own as well. We also got their garlic bread. What you know about garlic bread from other places is nothing to be compared to buca, they have tiny pieces of their freshly chopped garlic inside their bread, its absolutely great.
Brenda Ramer
Great food served family style. Not a fan of some of the pictures on the wall. If you have young children dining with you be aware there are some photos and artwork with nudity.
Ed Goldstein
We love the food here, but ordering ahead for pickup is a joke. They basically start making your food at the time you asked for it to be picked up. And if the lobby is filled with people waiting for pickups or to be seated try make you wait outside no matter the temperature.
Angie C
My family and I had reservations at 6pm, on Fri April 26, 2019. Food was wonderful. Except our waiter named Jeff was very unpleasant when we said what we wanted it seemed like to us he didn't really feel like taking our order. We said what we wanted he had to sit down and write it that's very understandable. He was just miserable don't take it out on ur customers be happy 😊
Sarah Hyder
Food was great, you order a small or a large order to feed multiple people so it was a pricey but the service was great and it has an interesting atmosphere... Overall amazing experience.
Aiden Keenan
Great service, good food, and great environment.
Kevin Dennis
Food was prepared fresh, hot and delicious. Service was very good. Cant wait for a return trip
Jackie Grube
Great food and service for my mom's birthday. She loved it! Excellent spaghetti and meat sauce and chocolate cake was delicious!
Molly Marr
GREAT! Went with my archery team and it was divine!! 👍👍👍 …
Dustin Fields
Great taste of italian!!!not watered down American Italian but real spiced real flavored Italian!!! Love the feel of the place cool calm light nice picture's and wine bottles for ceiling! Great date night or bring the family for a taste of the real Boot lol
Jeff Miles
Absolutely awesome! This has always been my favorite restaurant! I will keep coming back! And the gluten-free options were great as well!
Jenny Crowe
I really like this place! I have eaten here several times. Always enjoy having leftovers also! The service is always good. The last few times we have had Shirley. She is awesome!! Love her!!
Margaret Adams
Atmosphere is fun and worth the trip. The food was not as flavorful as I was expecting...but that made for no complaints from the kids. Good place for group dining.
Amber Faraji
Shirley is an amazing server! She helped me for my bridal shower and for my graduate dinner. Each time she is so friendly and gives amazing service! The food was great!
Chris Harris
Cici was literally the best server I've ever had. We had a large party of 9 people and she met every one of our table's needs and had a wonderful personality.
Elden Ford
Posting my review from OpenTable. Since posting, a manager thanked me for the review. Unfortunately that was the extent of the interaction.
We had a reservation and were seated about ten minutes past our reservation time. it was understandable because it was valentines weekend, so it was pretty busy. the waiting area was small and the hostesses held the door open when they saw someone come up the sidewalk. The door was open much longer than necessary and it was pretty cold out. We got to our table and it was a booth. There were nine of us and they put us in a boot suites for six people and added a chair on the end. My wife is pregnant and definitely couldn’t sit in the booth because it was so tight, so she got the chair at the end. We squeezed everyone else in(6 adults and two kids) in the very small booth. Our server was probably the worst part. She didn’t give refills on drinks unless we asked and didn’t bring the bread until after the food was out. We also ordered espresso, which was a disappointment. The menu labeled it a Nespresso drink. I was under the expression it was going to be more of a latte, but it was just a shot of espresso. There was no description, so I’m not sure if it was even right. Four of us ordered this drink and the server brought out a handful of splendas and a few creams. We don’t use Splenda and never asked for it, so we thought that was a weird choice. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. There was wet toilet paper around the toilet in both bathrooms and it was just really grimey. Definitely not somewhere I wanted my toddler sitting. We got the penne alla vodka, which was delicious. The food is the only thing that will bring us back. Our particular server and the atmosphere was just not the best.
Food: 5/5
Service: 3/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Value: 4/5
Noise Level: Quiet
Leslie Caudill
Seriously the best experience ever! The service, atmosphere, and food were like none other! Edward(our server) was incredible!!! If you haven’t been here you’re missing out! Can’t wait to come back!
Jason Borger
Great food with generous portions.You won’t leave hungry. Relaxed atmosphere great staff. This place is dining at its best. The only problem I have with this place is I didn’t find it sooner. If you are wanting a great meal for a great price this is it. You definitely won’t be disappointed.
Shawn G
I love this restaurant, go there often. Not only is it great food but the proportions are big enough to share or have another great tasting meal later on. Nice employees, gets your food out fast and make sure everybody has a full drink. Will go again
Howland Family adventures
Giving it a 3 to be fair. The server was nice, but the staff never showed up to light candle for my husband even though we had the hand on the table. The portion sizes were great for our family of 5 to split. But I was expecting more authentic Italian cusisine based on the description. We were also sat at the bar room with my 3 children who noticed the photos with scantilt clad and naked women (noting my 9 yeat old son pointed out the naked woman's privates in one painting) so I suggest not sitting there if you have children. These salad and bread was excellent. Generic noodles in our soaghetti and the sauce was so runny it didn't stay on the pasta. Plain grated parmesan on the table. Overall it was okay. If I go back okay if I don't no big loss.
Leigh Webster
Dinner was good however, if your going to charge $7 to add Chicken to your pasta please add something to the chicken! No flavor or spice. Very boarding chicken, like you just opened from a can, heated & placed on pasta. You can do better!
Kate Smith
Shelby was amazing! Very kind, knew the menu, and was quick! Our visit was awesome!
Colin Nelson
tasted delicious and i love the decorations
DM Blitzkrieg
Celebrated a graduation with 13 of us. Shirley was awesome! Very attentive to all of us and made sure that drinks stayed filled and kept the food coming. Great experience all the way around. Thanks Shirley, see you again soon.
Lily Feeley
It's decent food and the restaurant is clean. The food is not special or terribly good. The plates you eat off of are set at the table so even hot food gets cold quickly. The last time I went the waitress was very apathetic towards our table and our simple needs like silverware.
Friday Foster
Our server was Thomas and he was phenomenal. I was a bit disappointed in the food, though. Everyone Raves about the lasagna, but it was flat, as was the spicy chicken pasta dish and the Alfredo. Given the prices, I don't think I will be back. I will stick to local places like Silvio's!
Karen Ireland
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Food, service and family. Made my mother's birthday for her 80th a time we will always remember. To the team at bucca Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Doug Klein
Very, very loud atmosphere. Food is just ok. Pretty bland generic Italian style fare. Lot of happy birthday songs. Like a whole lot. Every give minutes screaming and clapping. Don't expect to have a relaxing meal here. Building is outdated and not in great shape. Inside needs a major update, drywall falling in and stained, paint chipping.
John Lancaster
My family and I ate there on Saturday night. We had a wonderful time , our waiter was Alan he was very friendly and knowledgeable and very professional . Our food was amazing as always. However we noticed that Alans larger table on the other side of us was very loud and was being very rude. We overheard them being rude to Alan and as Alan walked away we heard one of the ladies say " we about to get everything for free" and laugh about it. This honestly made us uncomfortable and I apologized to Alan later that he had to deal with people like that. It's very sad that restaurant workers have to deal with that kind of thing . We heard them say they were going to write a review so I decided I would also . People shouldn't be able to slander others just to get free food .
Darren Ringenberg
Our server Shirley was absolutely amazing!!!! Food was yummy first time ive stepped out of my bubble and ate something different chicken marsala. Shirley was on top of our drinks and dirty plates and was super helpful with the many questions we had our first time here. Was a great way to start off my birthday celebrations tonight ! Thankyou Buca and most importantly thankyou shirley we definetly will be coming back and recommending to all our friends and family.
Chelsea Vanegas
Great service for a Large party! We went to Bucca di Beppo for Mother's Day dinner celebration and had a group of 20 people. I just have to brag on our waitress, Shirley, she was fantastic! She spoke loud enough that we could hear her on the other end of the looong table, she kept things organized, which was quite a task because my family is pretty loud and likes to talk! There was not one mistake made on the many entrees, apps, sides, and drinks that we ordered....I couldn't believe it! We all figured that this was such a large party, there was bound to be something wrong, but Shirley made sure that everything came out correctly, hot, and delicious. Can't brag on her enough, we will definitely be coming back to enjoy again.
J Hytken
Pros: Flavorful food, attentive service,unique dining experience with interesting artifacts on the walls and tables.
Cons: Don't go by yourself as the portions are meant for 2 or more people. No individual portions (but plenty to bring home for another meal. Temperature inside the restaurant was quite cool.
I enjoyed the Penne pasta with Vodka sauce , and salad. While the sauce was tasty, it was a bit on the spicy side. It would have been nice to know this in advance. I would have had them tone it down a bit, but it was flavorful, with a nice hint of garlic, tomatoes, and other spices. The salad was a generous portion with a nice mix of greens, tomatoes and olives. All in all, a good meal with a solid 4 stars.
John Lopez
The food was mediocre at best, tasted like it was reheated.
The small portions are large, a lot of food.
Very expensive.
But the wait staff was very friendly and helpful, a real pleasure.
Patrick Carolan
I must say the food and service was very good. I had a coupon for 20% off and called the restaurant to verify coupon. All was okay until I tried to present the coupon. The manager told me that this was not their coupon even though it had their restauant name and location. The expiration date was still one day more. Instead of taking 20% off a $225 order she took $15 off, which translates to an 8% discount. Not too happy about that. Remember to verify any coupons before sitting down to eat as that will save you time and money.
Carleigh Wolf
Came here the other night for a party reservation at 8:15. The place closes at 9, but our server Shirley didn’t seem to mind a party of 20 that close to closing. She was so kind and on top of everything to topping off our drinks to making sure everyone got the right meal the first go around. First experience was definitely A+ . Thanks Shirley!!
Gary Ferrigno
Had Shirley as our waitress, she was very friendly and just had a great experience with her.
The food was absolutely amazing. Being Italian, I know my food. I would completely recommend this place.
Wendy Melcher
3 stars because I've always loved this place! Last experience was terrible though! We ordered a huge pan of Penne San Remo, and we all just kind of picked through it. The best way I can describe it is if you bought it from the freezer section of the grocery and nuked it! Not exactly the worst ever, but not what you expect from Buca! Maybe it was just this dish, maybe it was just the cook having a bad day... I'll never order that dish again!
Jessye
I’m not a fan of the way the menu is split up. It’s a meal for the whole table and it is a little weird. Food wasn’t that good for the price.
Penny Solomon
Had lunch today with the whole family. We were lucky enough to get shirley as our waitress. We could not have had anyone better. We knew the food was fabulous but it was made better by Shirley!
Joyce Oechsli
Hands down one of the most entertaining restaurants around. The food is fantastic and the staff are so wonderful. The atmosphere is like eating in your Italian Grandma's house right down to a table in the Kitchen! If you have a large group you may get lucky and eat in the round Pope room.
Nick M
We usually have a great experience here however that changed on February 22nd. It was busy when we arrived and we were quoted 45 minutes to be seated. We waited the 45 minutes and I went to get an update. When I went inside there were 3 female employees arguing at the hostess stand saying something about someone getting fired. Once they finished I asked for the update and they said there were still 6 parties ahead of me and they had no idea when our table would be ready. I got the initial text confirmation for our table at 6:07 and didn't get the text that our table was ready until 7:57. I've never had a hostess tell me that they had no idea how long it was going to take or think it was a good idea to argue in front of customers. We ended up leaving after about an hour of waiting with no signs of being seated.
Debbie Peden
Ali working on togo orders was amazing, she helped me optimize my coupon. The food and service was great as always.
Frankie Blessing
yummy the waiters were very kind.
Janeice Wooten-Kerr
We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Justin was very personable, attentive and gracious!
Caroline Raible
We had a archery dinner and it was awesome the amount of food was great and they had a Pugh for everyone!
Jackie Ellis
Shirley is one of the friendliest, kindest, most pleasant people to serve you at Buca restaurant. We enjoy her so much!!! The food is great but she makes coming to the restaurant even more enjoyable.
Thank you for having such an awesome person like her at Buca. Jacqueline Ellis
Kate Morganett
Shirley provided amazing service during a difficult time. The due to social distancing they had people adequately spaced out and kept up with the demand for food with multiple take out orders. The food was delicious.
Adrian Booth
Buca is my favorite Italian restaurant so far. The portions are huge and very delicious. The atmosphere is so cool, it feels like you’re in a real Italian home. Also, they are always offering really good coupons if you sign up for their email program. Highly recommend!
Cosmic Corgi
Nykki, our server was really nice. Some of our items weren't up to snuff but she was quick to make it right and we had an otherwise enjoyable time.
G Wrocks
We had a wonderful time at Buca di Beppo. Our server, Shirley, had an infectious humor and went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. We had a delicious gluten free meal, with minor substitutions, and Shirley made the experience feel homely and friendly.
Sylvia Johnson
I visit here when family comes to town. They love it, but I'm not impressed. Their version of chicken picatta has ham and I think that changed the whole meal. Their chicken marsala is nice. Their marina sauce is bland. It is a good place for family style eating but it is also pricey. It was more than $100 for 5 of us. One was a small child (4 yrs old) and no alcoholic beverages. That is high for mediocre food.

This place was definitely unique, very pricey. But the food was pretty good except the shells we ordered.

Excellent experience! We ordered the lasagna and make sure you ask for the extra marinara sauce. We sat in the "wine room" and will return soon!
Our server, Roman was excellent!

Shirley was amazing! She gave us the best recommendations and was extraordinarily friendly. Such a big pretty smile too. Definitely hope she’s our server next time!

We ate at Buca di Peppo in celebration of our 8th anniversary. My husband had Shrimp Florentine and I had Spaghetti & Meatballs. Even tho we knew one entree was more than enough for the 2 of us, we ordered separate entrees so we would have enough for my husband to take some for dinner & a snack! Patrick so enjoyed his Shrimp Florentine! The look on his face was sheer pleasure! The shrimp was fresh & done to perfection and the spinach perfectly tender. He said it was absolutely delicious and with each bite, his smile reflected that! My Spaghetti & Meatballs was just as awesome! Truly fresh marinara sauce and delicious crumbly, huge, tender & tasty meatballs!
Our server, Shirley! Oh My!🙂🙂🙂 There are not enough words to describe Shirley! She is personable, eager to please, makes the customers feel as if we are her only table to for her shift! Shirley is super friendly, helpful, patient! She offered to take several pictures of us to celebrate & remember our anniversary.
Any restaurant can make you an anniversary meal. Buca di Peppo makes it an 'event'. Shirley was the absolute 'topping' to our 'event' at Buca di Peppo! We will be requesting Shirley whenever we come to Buca di Peppo!
Awesome meal! Awesome, server! Awesome time here! Definitely Italy you will be delighted, if over-stuffed!, at Buca do Peppo!
Thank you for making our visit more special, Shirley!🙂

Homemade dishes served family style. Catering is great too. Space available for up to 250 people but great options for smaller groups too. Easy to work with & affordable pricing for homemade foods. Catering manager, Meagan Jeanette makes everything simple and is a delight to work with.
