Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant

First thing you see when you walk in is the wall of celebrities that have had their world famous meatballs.
Then you get to walk through the working kitchen to see where they make the magic happen.
The whole place and atmosphere is really cool and relaxed.
The food was AMAZING! The portions are for 2 or 3 people not single portions.
Really cool and will be back soon Brandon took really good care of us!

The food was the worst we have had in a long long time.
The food was old and reheated not fresh at all.
As you can see in the pic of the lasagna it was pre-made God knows when and put in an oven to reheat till it was completely dried out, with the center still room temp.
The Alfredo with chicken was mediocre at best.
The chicken is what really killed it.
It was so old and dry that it was hard to chew.
I took three bites and that was all I could do.
Had to say something to the waiter who was super nice and sympathetic, getting the manager for me. One thing you also that you need to know, that is not common is that all items when ordering for dinner are plates ment for 3 people.
So all plates are $30+ for a small order, plus $14 to make it large enough to serve 5 or 6 people.
Plus you have to pay $14+ for bread to go with your meal.
(I have never been charged for bread to go with my Italian food, odd...) So if you are coming here even after this review, bring some friends or if you are a couple, its better if you share just one plate.
If you are eating alone good luck you will have enough for the next 2 meals as well. If only the food was as good as the atmosphere and service this place would be a cool place.

Went in the early afternoon and was surprised that space was available since there is usually a long wait in the evenings.
Highly recommend the salmon.
Our waiter Shawn made the experience worthwhile.
He was honest, funny and inventive.
Haven't been dissappointed in the many years we've been here and definitely coming back...in the early afternoons.

Visiting the restaurant about a week or two before Thanksgiving was an awesome experience.
Great service.
Warm cozy environment.
It was strange to see how far the waiters had to walk with drinks from the kitchen to the back tables. This is a mix rating.
5 stars for visit but 3 stars for our Thanksgiving order.
There were options online to leave notes but the cheese was not placed on the side of the salad as requested.
We got a call about 15 minutes before pickup stating that no children pizza available as the ovens were all filled with turkey.
Disappointed but glad they called.
Other issue was when my husband went for pickup, he was not given the two apple juices that came with the kids meal we ordered. Great tasting food.
We do plan to visit again but will not be ordering online.
