tina is the best sever love her vive would definitely come back food is fire love the big portions for cheap!!

We came here for my Dad's birthday. Tina is absolutely one of a kind and beyond wonderful. She made our experience absolutely amazing. She is truly special. Thank you Tina!! read more

came here for the first time and was empty on a Sunday night, got seated right away and was able to order within 5 ins of seating. customer service is amazing and restaurant was sparkly clean! i had a difficult finding the restroom upstairs since there's lots of tables for dining but eventually found it with the help of my server Griselda this restaurant is family owned so you can see the happiness throughout the restaurant with decor, each dish is best shared with 2-3 other people and is very affordable! Crispy Calamari : made fresh, pan was hot while the frid squid was crispy, marinara sauce and lemon paired very well Roman Tiki : refreshing as this is more on the sweet side Shrimp Scampi Linguine : garlic butter base, not bad but would recommend paying $37 Chicken Carbonara : alfredo base, very creamy! the bacon bits and peas pair very well with the pasta, worth $40 read more

Made reservations here for my son's birthday with a couple of his friends. They accommodated a party of 13 which was nice. They place bigger party upstairs, the inside is very huge and it's a comfort feeling with decorations. The food had good deals, some of the entrees were decent nothing out of the ordinary. It was just hard because there was only one waiter working right when it opened on a Saturday so we had to wait around for him many times. Since he was working both upstairs and downstairs. That's mainly the only con I had about this place. The waiting around for long period of time just to order certain things and for a dessert took awhile. read more

I need to discuss several complaints. 1. The Elevator was broken. My Mom uses a cane and struggles very much with stairs. This was a pretty major issue for her. How long has your elevator been broken and when will it be repaired? 2. The women's bathroom was mess. It needed to be cleaned and there were no paper towels. 3. We wanted to get the QUATTRO AL FORNO and the Chicken Cannelloni was unavailable. We ordered the PROSCIUTTO STUFFED CHICKEN and when our food arrived were told the PROSCIUTTO STUFFED CHICKEN was out and then was told by the waitress that we were getting the large CHICKEN PARMIGIANA. I explained to her we had said the small and to let us think about it. We did end up ordering the CHICKEN PARMIGIANA small. We had come for our dinner earlier and was amazed you were out of so many items. I overheard the waitress then tell another table they were out of the CHICKEN LIMONE. 4. We ordered the ITALIAN SAUSAGE mild. We received the Spicy. We told the waitress that it was spicy and it almost seemed as if she did not believe me. I finally took a slice that you could clearly see the chili specks in it. And she finally took it off the menu. 5. When she brought our drinks she brought an extra Pepsi which we did not order. It sat at the table the entire time never drank. When we got the check the Pepsi was on the check. 6. The waitress. It is hard to explain. She did service us a lot, but was to pushy. And overbearing. She very hard pushed the Larges and part of me almost thinks she purposely added and gave that Pepsi, but that is crazy so I am assuming was just a mistake. 7. Finally I noticed as I was typing this and looking over everything that the waitress highlighted and circled the highest tip amount (22%) on the receipt. WHAT THE HECK. This is not her choice. We decide what we tip. Thank you Have been reaching out to speak to a manager for a month now. I did not want to post this. read more

They flat-out refuse to honor the promotional deals they have plastered right outside their doors. There's a clear reason this place is usually dead: charging $57.99 for a plate of pasta is ridiculous. On the rare occasion they actually get a crowd--like on Father's Day--they conveniently deny the advertised deal. If they keep treating customers this way, they won't be in business much longer. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Buca di Beppo really hit the spot. We ordered the Chicken Limone and the salmon plate, and both were seriously good. The lemon butter sauce was the star for me, bright and buttery without being heavy, and it made everything taste fresh and comforting at the same time. Also, the bread... unreal. Warm, fresh, and honestly one of the best parts of the meal (and that's saying a lot). Shoutout to our waitress Tina, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. Best service we've had in a long time. Easily the best Italian food I've ever had. We'll be back. read more

Buca di Beppo has become one of our favorite Italian restaurant but there's others Italian Restaurants we have been but they better and high maintenance in thier cooking and their staff. Buca is different the other Italian Restaurants they are family friendly, huge portions and friendly staff that feel they are family in a Italian traditional way. We have been four Buca di Beppo in Pasadena,Universal City walk,Claremont and now Huntington Beach. This our first at this location in Huntington Beach I was very surprised this area have change dramatically through the years wow. The exterior looks very nice with a modern twist but the interior Buca style traditional bring Italy to the restaurant. Step in you feel we're in Italy or movie set with friendly staff you feel in home in Italy. My wife and I decided to order the family for four for $49.99 that's lots of food but we were very hungry. We pick the Caesars salad and the pasta we pick the ravioli al pomodoro then the entrees the chicken limone then we order garlic bread to the meal. First they brought the Caesars salad amazing good we enjoyed it. Then they brought the ravioli al pomodoro and the chicken Simone and the garlic bread. The feast for four will feed for four but it can feed for two depend how hungry are you. Overall Buca di Beppo is the best place for special occasion,birthdays,family reunion and other special occasions. read more

Came here during the week for dinner and it was dead lol. Maybe that was a sign? Service was fine and the food was just ok. The caprese salad tasted fresh. The spaghetti with huge meatballs was OK. Definitely enough portions to feed 4 people - so price is fine. Garlic bread was very mid. We had to ask for marinara sauce on the side - which didn't have much flavor. As someone who went to Italy this summer, this food is farrrrr from it. I guess decent to feed large parties but wayyyy better italian restaurants in the area (roman cucina, maggianios, la parloccia in Lbc). read more

Came here this past Saturday for my sons birthday. Our server was Hayden. He is by far an amazing server. The food portions were generous and a party of 12 was fed without breaking the bank. I got 2 of the 40 dollar bundle which includes salad, garlic bread, and pasta. By far you can't beat these prices. We even got sat upstairs away from the crowd which is amazing when you have 12 teenage boys. Overall all the food is 5/5. Once again thanks to our server Hayden for doing an amazing job, you should request him if you come. read more

Amazing! This Buca has been here for such a long time and they never disappoint. Griselda did such a great job handling our table of 13 tonight plus all the other tables she was running on the 2nd level! She is a such a trooper and I applaud her for her service. The food was amazing as always and very tasty. Thank you so much Griselda for your hospitality, and we will be back soon. read more

The food was amazing as usual. Our waitress Gina is so attentive and has a beautiful personality. She was the only waitress in our section. She was working her buns off. Such a great personality. She was so nice and personable. My husband and I will be asking for her section every time we come in from Riverside. read more

Thank you Tina for taking care of me and my family! We were a party of 10 and she made sure we were well taken care off

Came here with a party of 15 people and they were able to get us a table that was semi private. All of the other restaurants in the area wanted us to pay a deposit and host a private party with a group this big. Staff were all nice. The portions here are large. Most dishes can easily feed 2-4 people. Our party was able to share a few different dishes and we still had leftovers. Their penne alla vodka and chicken parmigiana was a hit. read more

This place is just amazing. We stopped in for our Mothers Day lunch and had an amazing experience thanks to our server Tina. We arrived at our reserved time and were seated no more than 10 minutes later. The location itself is large, fun and festive. The over the top decor makes eating there quite immersive . After being seated Tina arrived and poured on the charm, along with the excellent service. She made food and drink suggestions right away and soon after we had a trio appetizer and a carafe of sangria. The appetizer consisted of shrimp, calamari and cheese. The flavors were better than I remembered. The shrimp had the perfect amount of Italian spicyness to it. The calamari was crispy and the mozzarella was stringy and very flavorful. I would have been happy just with these bites but we were just getting started. Soon came the cheese bread the lasagna and the raviolis. Ok they were all palate pleasers. The richness of the sauces was amazing and the cheesiness made it all even better. Because it was Mothers Day our table also received a large piece of chocolate cake. This was one of the best I've ever had. It was moist and sweet all at the same time. Now you add up the amazing service, with the amazing food and the amazing atmosphere and what do you get...5 BIG STARS !!! Thanks Buca, it was good and I hope to experience you again. read more

We had a fun birthday celebration at the Pope's table. We had a party of 12 and they seated us at the Pope's Table for dinner. We had reservations and waited a little bit to be seated. I did find that our server was attentive at the beginning at the dinner and taking our orders but somewhat disappeared afterwards. Everyone was friendly. We flagged down other wait staff walking by to get more water or anything else we needed a few times. Food was good. We like the chopped salad and spicy chicken rigatoni dish. The wait staff came by to sing a Happy Birthday song for my mom and it made her feel special. read more

I went here with my coworkers for lunch and first thing first when I walked in, it's like you're stepping into a different place! Although it was very stimulating and felt small, it was a nice environment! As far as the food, I loved it! I got the chicken prosciutto along with an alcoholic drink and had some of the garlic bread and one that had cheese! Service too was great! She was very attentive and also there for our needs! I wished I had her name to give her a shoutout but overall a good experience! Would go back again! 9/10 read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I have been to a different location of Buca di Beppo in the past but this one was more memorable. We were seated upstairs. We had a party of 15 and we were having issues with finding somewhere that could accommodate us. We made a reservation here and were so happy they were able to have us. From the moment we walked in the staff was WONDERFUL! Everyone we encountered at this location was amazing. They were very friendly and welcoming. I love the "family style" seating and serving. It just reminds me of home and the setting is very comfortable. We ordered plates to share with the whole table and everything was delicious. Everything was TOP TIER and I WILL be back to this specific location because of the service we experienced. read more

SERVICE: Haven't been here for a few years, but remember 20 years ago taking my kids here and as they got older through the years, it's always been great. Took my adult kids the other night had a horrible waitress no personality at all. Very rude her name was. YDIRA... made not wanna go back to that location, hopefully an honest manager that reads this will teach how to smile say thank you and respond. ALSO on top of that, the wrong plate was brought out so when I told her to take that one back because we ordered something else, she did not say a word. She just took it and walked away. The mannerism is horrible in her. I don't know if she just doesn't like the style of the people that go to Bucca .. but this is a good way to chase away people. Other than that every single other Worker was great. read more

Food is ok, but the ambiance is super fun for family and gatherings. Service is good and I like that they take your group pictures and use to give you a complimentary one but now it's thumbprint sized...feels like it's a way to force you to buy a picture. Overall it's ok. read more

We came as a party of three later in the evening... 8pm? Plenty of seats open. The Buca Big Frutti di Mare (seafood linguine) filled us to the brim and easily made enough for 2-3 more servings to go, and that's even with the big eaters in our group. Makes for some awesome pictures next to your head. Staff frequently checked in on us. It was one of our birthdays, and they'll give you a huge sundae on the house... technically the voucher expired a day ago, but the waiter consulted his manager, and he agreed to give us the colossal brownies. When we were preparing to leave, the staff gave us two coupons for $25 off orders of $50 (half-off basically)... sweet deal! Sure, you could try recreating the pasta at home, but it won't be the same as dining in-person. read more

This is by far very different experience from the other location I had in Las Vegas. This location was great and had friendly team members. The team members were attentive too! The calamari, sausage, shrimp penne and the salads were great! Surprisingly this location is also spacious. Lots of seats and lots of private rooms for large parties. The only challenge here is parking but you cab park at the structure and they will validate! read more

Came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a party of 20 and it went very smoothly! The servers were very attentive and there was even a photographer that came out to take pictures of us which was so nice! The portion sizes are huge and we definitely over ordered so there was plenty of leftovers for everyone to bring home. I really enjoyed the appetizers (fried calamari & spicy shrimp) and salads (the apple corgonzola & caesar) so I was pretty satisfied even before the main dishes came out. The eggplant parmigiano was my favorite entree, and all the pastas were good but a little too cheesy for my family lol. Definitely recommend coming here for big parties! read more

First of all this place serves only big portions! So be prepared to eat a lot or keep it to go :) this was my bf first time here and he definitely wants to come back. We ordered the apple Gorgonzola salad 10/10 couldn't stop eating it! Also got the cheese manicotti and prosciutto stuffed chicken. Both of these together is to die for ! Service was a bit slow that day but she made sure to come around when she can. The decorations were pretty nice and gives an old school vibe ! read more

Stopped by for lunch (solo diner) out of curiousity and was actually pleasantly surprised. Got a lunch special pasta deal: I chose Fettuccine Alfredo pasta + chicken, with cheesy garlic bread and a Caesar salad as sides. Taste notes: The Alfredo sauce was hearty but not overdone, and it seemed to have a good amount of finely-grated cheese mixed into it (not just cream) so had a nice heterogeneous texture; overall, quite nice for a big-chain Italian-American style alfredo. The cheesy garlic bread was a genuine surprise; it tasted like the best parts of its namesake ingredients with none of their drawbacks (the garlic flavor was on the mellow sweeter side, mind). The Caesar salad was slightly too heavy on the sauce, but the sauce itself was flavorful and mildly tangy, the lettuce fresh and the croutons crisp. The seasoning level for all 3 dishes was surprisingly light but quite effective; there was just enough to wake up the flavors that were present in the dishes without being an absolute salt bomb. The price for this whole lunch deal was very fair at under $20, given current market conditions. Finally, I'll note that the service was exemplary on my visit: my server Tina was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and generally a consummate professional who seems to take pride in her work. read more

Buca di Beppo is a higher quality Italian restaurant chain with both classic and specialty pastas done very well. My absolute favorite orders are the chicken carbonara and garlic bread. The chicken carbonara is one of my favorite pastas ever, super creamy and well balanced with the chicken, prosciutto, and peas. But you can't go wrong with any of the pastas offered in my opinion. The garlic bread is also a must try, just look at the picture! Perfectly toasted crunchy bread and mellow but strong garlic flavor. As the whole menu is family style, I recommend coming with a party of 4 or more to be able to order multiple dishes without having a ton of leftovers. The restaurant is super cozy even though it's two stories tall, with the brick walls covered in pictures and tons of booth seating. Our server was super friendly and explained the serving sizes to us as well. read more

I used to go to Buca do Beppo a lot when they had numerous locations and loved the food, service and ambiance. So I was happy to see this one still in operation. Oh well, every items on the menu were family style for 3-4 people. It was just two of us and we could not finish a dish between two of us. So we ordered a pizza to split and it was probably the worst pizza I had from an Italian restaurant. Costco pizza would have been better. They will not make an individual size dish. On top of that a photographer hangs out and offers to take a photo then he tries to sell the photo back to you. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday while shopping at the nearby swap meet. The restaurant was not busy, and our waitress was very kind and attentive. She kept calling us sweetheart and honey and was genuinely sweet. I ordered a pizza, and my husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. After a few bites, my husband bit into a chicken bone that pierced the roof of his mouth. He removed it, and we immediately notified the general manager. His response was very casual and dismissive. He simply said he would take the dish off the bill and asked if we needed anything else. When I slid our empty cup forward to signal for a refill, he walked away without acknowledging it. There was no apology, and the situation was not handled with any concern. My husband declined the offer to have a new dish made and instead tried to carefully sift through the rest of his food, hoping there were no more bones. Unfortunately, there was another bone. I am attaching photos of both bones found in the dish. This experience was unacceptable and could have ended much worse. We will not be returning to this location and would strongly recommend avoiding it if you are in the area. The pizza I ordered was mediocre at best, but more importantly, the lack of care and professionalism in handling a serious food safety issue was extremely disappointing. read more

Excellent service from Maddie our server! She really helped make celebrating our wedding anniversary even more special with the addition of the candelabra as we ate our dark chocolate cake dessert. We started off with the cheesy garlic bread, then I ordered the weekday lunch special that was a salad and pasta (mixed green salad and a spaghetti with marinara sauce) and I added the famous meatball (1/2 pound). The meal and experience was a memorable way to celebrate our wedding anniversary, thanks to the staff and thanks again to Maddie! read more

Maddie was a great server and even though there were some items that weren't ready on a holiday monday, she let us know graciously. This is the place you take your friends or family when you wanna gather around a big bowl of pasta. Serving sizes are huge just like the 1/2 lb meatball. I had the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, lunch portion, which was more than enough. Nothing fancy but good nonetheless. I just wish the tomato and basil soup and tiramisu were ready to go. read more
