Editorial Review for Buca di Beppo – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
From the Italian language tapes in the bathroom to the three-liter bottles of Chianti on every table, the vibe here is exaggerated Italian-American kitsch. Boisterous, sprawling dining rooms are modeled after supper clubs of the '40s and '50s--servers holler, kitchen doors swing, and Sinatra rules the stereo. High-carb, red-sauced southern Italian cooking dominates the menu. And everything is big: Platters are piled impossibly high with baseball-sized meatballs balancing on mountains of spaghetti.

We went here for a birthday celebration. With the exception of the salad, the food was mediocre at best. The atmosphere is noisy and the service was below expectations.

I've been to Buca 3 times now, 2 of which I took out due to the worst customer service in town. The hostess does not give a slightlest effort to smile at the guest. Plus, there is always a frowny guy standing by the host stand and stares at you like you're nothing but a trouble. I never felt welcome there. The food is OK. Not bad, not good, just OK. Could be better for those prices... But the customer service is unacceptable....If you're looking for place where you will feel welcome - do not choose Buca.

Family-style platters and hefty bottles of wine take this Italian dining experience over the top.  See the full editorial review.
