   It was so loud from other parties in big rooms that we couldn’t hear each other across the table. We had to ask the server to move us.  Our salad was delivered to another table and by the time we got it, some of the other food was cold disappointing. Probably won’t go back.

   🌟🌟🌟🌟 AMAZING Early Birthday Dinner at Buca di Beppo! OMG, where do I even start?! I just had the BEST early birthday dinner with family and friends at Buca di Beppo, and it was unforgettable. My son treated me like a Queen, and the love from everyone there was absolutely overwhelming. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such incredible people—and equally lucky to have had Ash and Tina taking care of us! If you want the BEST service from the most amazing humans on the planet, Ash and Tina are IT. They made the whole experience even more special. I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! 💕 Now let’s talk about the food—wow. Everything was delicious and so filling we couldn’t finish it all, and there were 8 of us! LOL. Here’s what we devoured: HUGE Meatballs (like half-pounders!) 🍝 A giant Caesar salad 🥗 Two baskets of garlic cheese bread 🧄🍞 Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Rigatoni 🍝 Starters: fried mozzarella, calamari, and spicy shrimp 🦐🧀 But the showstopper? The biggest Happy Birthday dessert I’ve ever seen in my life! Picture this: a gigantic martini glass (no exaggeration—10x the size of a regular one) filled with fudge, 3 massive scoops of chocolate ice cream, 3 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles, and SIX brownies. It was so over-the-top that we were all laughing and in awe—it literally took all 8 of us to eat it. We had such an amazing time—everyone left happy, full, and with the ittus. Plus, we all have tons of leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch or day off. Thank you, Buca di Beppo, for making my early birthday celebration so memorable. Can’t wait to come back! 🎉🍝💕

   The spaghetti and meatballs dish: spaghetti was over cooked, soggy and in pieces. The sauce was tasteless. The salad, the chicken masala were ok.

   We usually use take-out for their Thanksgiving dinner, but tried eating in this time. A big mistake. We were seated in the bar area with the bartender as server. He was naturally distracted by bar flies and we had little attention. Food arrived cold, and had to be sent back for reheating. Bus staff was more attentive but sparse in that area of the restaurant. Add-on salad was overpriced.

   In general we enjoyed every time when decided to eat at Buca. Good food. Good service from a waiter Shane to server young man. They seem well trained. And there is no long waiting at all. Nice looking decorations of each section. We ordered promotion meal for three even we only have party for 2. Because we afraid the portion will not food will not feed us well. But by the end we have a lunch for next day to take home. My husband said we should stick with meal for two better. A bit disappointed due to the spaghetti noodles this time was a little over cook not tender as normal but it's still good sauces. I will come back soon. Thanks Buca team.

   Food was good, service was super slow . It took about 20 minutes just for someone to come to our table to get drinks and another 20 minutes just to get the drinks, you could imagine how long the food took.

   Our server Tina was amazing! The spaghetti wasn’t as amazing as usual… but we enjoyed it. Prices seem high for what you get.
