Bucceto's is our FAVORITE date spot for my fiancee and I! You cannot go wrong with their pizza or their pasta. My personal favorite is their diavolo (which I ask for it spicy with shrimp), while my fiancee loves their vodka creme sauce with penne. If we are wanting to share, we get a medium pizza with their vegetarian sausage (which is such a nice option). Overall, I would recommend Bucceto's to anyone who is wanting good Italian food, a cold pint of beer, and a laidback environment. P.S. their dinner salads are HUGE and included with your pasta. Thank me later! read more

The manager was very rude. She kicked out a family after she yelled at them and ignored them. Totally her fault. She even pushed the mom as she kicked them out of the restaurant. Her behavior made everyone uncomfortable and her lack of customer service skills should get her fired. Even the people that came in after the family left because if her rude behavior. She is totally unprofessional. The food is not worth putting up with horrible service. ​ read more

Bucceto's Pizza Pasta - Yummy pizza!! - Italian Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Loved the chicken parm sandwich. Restaurant was clean. Saw employees using the conveniently placed hand sanitizer station often. My server Olivia was kind and efficient. read more

I just love this pizza. The crust is cooked well and isn't too thin, but isn't doughy or thick either. The sauce is flavorful and I'd describe it as tasting "bright." It just tastes fresh. Then there are the toppings. They load those on. Every bite is loaded with flavor. I get spinach and olive. My mom gets the gluten free warrior. They are both great. (And all the leftovers make for another meal.) read more

Awesome food and service. Their pizza is really good. Really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant

Ah, Buccetto's. I've come back! I thought about having the calzone as always. I even considered trying the chicken parmesan sandwich. After it being pointed out to me, I thought I would try something new, the Baked Roman Holiday. It's listed on the menu as having chicken, canadian ham, provolone, alfredo sauce, and bacon. What's not listed is MUSHROOMS. I hate mushrooms. Fortunately, I don't hate them enough to send the dish back. I do hate them enough that I didn't finish the cheesy bacony goodness that was left at the end. Aside from that icky surprise, the dish was great! My girlfriend had something else from the same part of the menu, and gave it a thumbs up. We also had the cheesy garlic bread, which always rocks! I'm sure I've mentioned that before. There were a few hiccups with the meal, but because the server seemed to be doing her best to make us happy, it helped a lot. These included weird garlic bread serving - my girlfriend got her garlic bread with her salad while I got nothing at first. I turned down the salad. I asked if that was supposed to be the appetizer or if it was the bread that came with the meal. After a quick check, the server realized the cheesy bread was ordered but not made and offered to comp it. That and my order of garlic bread came out a short time later. When we received the check, she had forgotten to take it off, but did so after I pointed it out. They had been pretty busy, so I chalked it up to a busy dinner service, and she seemed to be trying her best. I think every meal I have here will always have something unique about it. As long as the food stays great, I'm good with it. read more

Got there right before the dinner crowd at 6:15. (Good thing, it got quite busy and my waiter was also covering a private party so he got busy, bug still did good ) Seated quickly, waiter came over quickly and got my drink. Came back in good time for my order. I asked which was better, the meatball sandwich or the Lil' Razorback pizza. He said his preference was the pizza. The sandwich is good, but he really likes the pizza . So, I went with that. Good call!' Small is 8", cheese and sauce was all the way to the edge, unlike some places. Lots of cheese and meat all over the place! Sausage, pepperoni, bacon, lots of it! Really good crust, too. Firm but not too crunchy , and nice sweet flavor. Also had a Caesar salad, quite good, lots of cheese on it, too. Next time in Bloomington, I'll be back for sure. Maybe try the meatball sandwich!' read more

The just-moved-to-Bloomington restaurant tour continues. Today's stop was Bucceto's. We were looking for Italian food. There seem to be very few Italian places in town. (you can get pizza everywhere, but pasta, not so much.) Based on Yelp reviews we drove over to Bucceto's. Service was indifferent. Our server seemed like she was rushing us. She asked us what we wanted to drink before we even sat down, which was weird since we had no idea what they had to drink at that point. I had a calzone with chicken and cheese and my partner had pasta with pesto. The calzone looked beautiful, but the flavor was flat, as if it needed more seasoning. The dipping sauce (marinara) was also sort of watery and not very flavorful. Jean's pesto pasta was swimming in sauce. There was enough sauce for two bowls of pasta. The flavor was good, but just too much sauce. Once we were finished, the check arrived without the server asking us if we wanted dessert. Too bad because we were thinking of trying the tiramisu. The search for good Italian food in Bloomington goes on! read more

Look, pal, if you're lookin' for fancy New York City pizza, then take a freakin' hike. This place is HOME to the best gosh darn canned lettuce salad you ever sucked down your gullet! And the PA$TA!!! I love this guy's Spaghet! Go here and tip every last dime! read more

Great food, had it all. Service is good, we do frequent often. Nice size large pizzas.

Let me start by saying the service and food here was exceptional. But the inability to prepare for a college sports team is the downfall here. I called a few days in advance to speak with one of the higher ups as I wanted to make sure a meal for 30 hungry hockey players was a feasible endeavor for them. I am always adamant that my team does not need enough food 30 people but rather about 60. We arrived to nicely set tables and a little space to our own but there was simply just not enough food. Table one cleared out the salad and bread while tables two and three had to wait 15 and 30 minutes respectively for that to get filled. The same thing happened with the main dish of pasta and chicken. We had to order three different serving of pasta which ranged from linguine, to spaghetti, to angel hair because they continued to run out of what they had set aside for us. Due to the lack of proper planning some of my guys ate 15 minutes into getting there while others ate after waiting for an hour and a half. I will leave part of this on me as I was convinced that the plan they had in place would work and the amount of food was more than enough. I salute the people who served us and tried to keep up with amount of food we needed as our time there ran into their dinner rush (which exacerbated things further). I would gladly give this place another chance as the food was great and the service friendly, but I hope they are able to better prepare if they decide to try and feed other large sports teams. read more

Great pizza and great service. A must visit if you enjoy thin crust pizza.

Really good restaurant in Bloomington! I ordered the linguine pasta with a creamy red sauce. I also added shrimp to my pasta. The entree came with garlic bread as well. The pasta was really good! Not the best that I've ever had but it was pretty solid. I love the inside of the restaurant with all of the funny art on the walls. I would definitely hang some of that up in my basement! Definitely one of the most relaxed atmospheres that you can find at an Italian restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to carb up for a big event! read more

Bucceto's Pizza Pasta - Shrimp linguine with creamy red sauce and garlic bread - Italian Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The staff here is friendly and quick to serve. The lunch meals can't be beat for the price! They are large portions, always hot and flavored well. You can't beat their fettuccine. I'm picky about my fettuccini and their sauce is so flavorful and rich. For years I've been searching for the best fettuccine in town and elsewhere and all are so bland, but this is it! And their salads are the best anywhere; full of vegetables and a very large portion. You'll be stuffed. Lastly, their homemade dressings (I believe) are to die for! We now try to eat here every other week. Love, love, love!! read more

I have had Bucceto's on a few occasions. Their specialty pizzas are unique and very good. I wanted to venture out a try something new. On both occasions I tried the pasta it just didn't meet the standard that was set by the pizzas. The service can be a bit of passive in their approach. read more

We ordered a delivery from Bucceto's using Delivery.com including a 20% tip. It took 90 minutes and when it arrived was missing one of the two entrees. When we called the restaurant to find out what happened, the manager was rude and accused us of lying, claiming that "she packed the bag herself" offering no apology and no refund. There is nothing a customer can do when a restaurant takes this attitude. Delivery.com offered us a $5 coupon as a recompense for a $9 entree which was not refunded or replaced. There is no way for us to know what happened to our food so when a restaurant and delivery company refuse to take responsibility for delivering what you pay for all you can do is avoid them in the future. The food we did get was fine, but we couldn't eat it. Insult makes a poor sauce. Stay away from these people, they are not trustworthy and they are rude. read more

Love Bucceto's! Their campfire pizza is an absolute favorite. Chill place, never overly packed, attentive and friendly waiters and waitresses. read more

Best pizza in town and they do deliver the vodka rigatoni pasta is awesome and you have to get the garlic bread to dip in the sauce always take my family there kids love pizza read more

Bucceto's is a little pricier than some other lunch options, but it's definitely worth it. Go on a Tuesday and order the bacon Gouda pizza by the slice, or go on a different day and order a whole bacon Gouda pizza pie. Bucceto's always leaves my teeth smiling! Each one of them is smiling right now! read more

Mr Bucceto followed through with his staff on the lack of service issue that I mentioned in my previous Yelp review. To me, that dedication shows a true interest in maintaining a five-star rating. My family and I will continue to frequent Bucceto's in the future for great tasting pasta, calzones, pizza and more... read more

Damn it, I want to like this place. I really do. When they're on, the food can be quite good. But they are their own worst enemy, and it's costing them two stars on this review. Two of us went for lunch today; place was at about 70 percent of capacity. We ordered pasta dishes, and I got a small salad. It took twenty minutes to get the salad to the table. My ravioli arrived with about three ounces of water diluting the sauce. I asked the server--not MY server, but one who cared--who was expediting in the kitchen. His answer: "No one." The line was silent. Nobody was communicating at all, and it showed. People were sitting and waiting for one thing or another, and the service was generally apathetic. The server I talked to had good ideas for improving things, but it seemed like no one was listening. The food has great potential to be impressive, but without the attention to detail in service, people will not come back. I know I'm considering jumping this ship. read more

Bucceto's is a little more expensive than some other pizza and pasta places that offer lunch but it is worth it to have a good gluten free meal. My Preference is one of their baked gluten free pastas or my favorite "pie" is the gluten free Paparazzi with extra ricotta, red onions, and mushrooms! I hear the regular food is pretty good too! That is what my family says. They hardly ever get the actual pizza. The Calzones, Chicken Marsala, Lasagna, Mussels, Bread, and Chicken Alfredo are some of the faves. Oh and don't forget the Tiramisu! The quality is usually pretty good though it does seem to have a little dip now and then. Offers delivery, carry out, and dine in. Make sure you get the right one when you order, East or West! read more

This is a favorite for me and my mom to come to! Their breadsticks almost have a sweet taste to them. They are great with some of their nacho cheese. I've had their bacon and potato pizza and I've built my own calzone. There are always left overs and they are even good the next day! read more

I go here for the delicious calzones and salads. They make their own ranch and it is super garlicky and awesome. Pizza is decent. Honestly I have never been impressed with their pasta but the rest is good enough to make up for it. read more

Please resolve an issue for me. On12/4/2019 I ordered a large Italian sausage pizza to be delivered. I used a debit card, ending in 5678. After the delivery man had left, I opened the box and saw what was NOT Italian sausage, but some little round pieces. I tasted one small corner and verified that what I had was hot sausage. I called the west side branch to report the problem and was told that all Italian sausage was hot sausage. Dissatisfied, I carried the box back to the restaurant the next morning, where(Karli?) said it was indeed hot sausage, and that she would see that my money would be returned to the account. This is the third time I have attempted to get that charge reversed on my card, in the amount of $18.96. The bank said the charge was made on the 4th and posted on the 6th.

Ordered thru GrubHub. 45 minute till delivery which was ok. But the main part of my order was cancelled. No call no immediate refund. So another hour later I'm waiting for delivery from another place. Pretty annoying when you are in a hotel with a bunch of kids. read more

A few days ago my family came here to eat dinner, our first time here. They have a great selection of food. My husband and I ordered different pasta dishes and my son got a children's pizza. The food was really good, the dressing for our salad was pretty good, the service was good. It was too much food for us to eat so we took our leftovers home. The next day my husband went to eat his leftover salad and found,what turned out to be, a plastic glove. He couldn't finish it,he was so grossed out. In fairness, we didn't notify the restaurant because they usually don't deal with anything if it was the following day. We most likely will not be back. read more

Every time we order from here they get our order wrong and they blame the delivery people.. Over charges and don't make it right !!!! So disappointed read more

A coworker and I were near here for a business conference and after being stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours before arriving and then driving in from Indianapolis we were absolutely famished. Luckily we found this amazing pizza place which was exciting for my coworker because he has a gluten intolerance. The gluten free menu here is really extensive so we decided to give it a shot. I had a medium sized "campfire" and my coworker chose the "cactus delectus". I was really impressed by my pizza and the service there. Our waitress, Stephanie I believe, was quick with drink refills and our pizzas came out fairly quickly. The actual pizza was delicious and I had to take some to go because it was much larger than I thought it would be. Most impressive was my coworker's gluten-free pizza which tasted SO MUCH BETTER than other gluten free pizzas I have tried in the past. He was raving about it over a day later and bemoaning how there isn't a place like this near where we both live in Austin. Bucceto's is a great place to eat with a very surprising menu. I hope to eat there again when I am back in town! read more

Awesome calzone! Service was great.. Waiter zach was on top of things! Very attentive! read more

Great flavor, great quality ingredients, friendly and professional staff, gluten free options and the best tiramisu I've had anywhere - and that is a HUGE compliment. Out does any pizza pasta place in Bloomington and as good as or better than the best in Chicago. Go. read more

Dined in last weekend with my husband and 1 year old son! We had a great experience and will definitely be back next time we visit Bloomington. It was family friendly, reasonably priced, and the food was great! I love the BBQ chicken salad with their AMAZING ranch dressing. I love that they have gluten free options too! It was a relaxed and laid back atmosphere! I wish Bucceto's was around when I went to school in Bloomington! I would have eaten there all the time! read more

I used to love Buccetos because I could get gluten-free pizza. Several times in a row I've had either wrong toppings, burnt crust, or no gluten-free pizza available that day, the last two times they didn't have any. Today I called in my order and when I got there to pick it up, was told they are out of gluten-free and the person who took my phone order didn't know. I went ahead and paid for the other pizza for my kids, it had a burnt crust. I left so disappointed that I sat in my vehicle and burst into tears. Then I had to go somewhere else for food. read more

I want to start off by saying that buccetos food is awesome. That being said the service is unbelievably bad. My wife ordered carry out for her birthday today. When ordering it took almost 15 mins. Not on hold mind you. On the phone with this kid that had no clue what he was doing. She repeated each item 3 to 4 times. We have been getting food from local restaurants to support them during this pandemic. Also understanding that places are doing the best that they can. But this guy was unbelievable. Back to the experience.... We finally got the order made and now came time to pay with a credit card over the phone. She had to give him her credit card number 4 times before he finally was able to type it in correctly. Finally gets it and we are all set. He says OK bye. We had to get him back just to ask him how long until we should come pick our order up. We arrive and proceed to call like the sign says to let them know when we are there. Same guy answers the phone and asks us what kind of car we are in, we tell him and he hangs up. Five minutes later (during which a lady is just yelling and going car to car saying who had a Grub hub order, half way freaking out) he comes out (leans in the window by the way) and asks us what name our order is under we tell him and he says oh yeah I forget to get your name when you called when you got here. A few minutes later he brings out our food using his face and chin to balance our pizza boxes. Again leaning in when we are trying to sign the credit card bill. So much for trying to stop contact. Food is great but the people you hire or their training is going to keep us from coming back. read more

Very average Italian food. You get what you pay for... Not expensive. Great service. Good place for families.

I absolutely love Bucceto's dinner salad and have yet to try a pizza or pasta I didn't like. Their quattro formaggio, rosemary chicken pasta, and chicken piccata are a few of my favorite pastas. The razor back, humble pie, and margherita are a few great pizza options. They have amazing homemade ranch and break stick options and you can't go wrong with their spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer! read more

I got the angel hair with tomato sauce and two meatballs. It was delicious and not overpowering in flavor like Italian tends to be. Probably the best meatballs I've ever had. And the service was wonderful and prompt! I will definitely be back. read more

just not good. came with @cartclemmensen and @ryanjohnson and it was unsatisfying. The garlic bread had oil dripping off of it
