Been coming here for the last 15 years. Unfortunately our waitress thought that we were tourists and mistreated us, I asked to cancel my order and she brought the manager over, Mr. Jess, wonderful guy, he took care of me and my family with excellence, what a gentleman and he gave us another waitress, wonderful lady, very respectful and cordial. Food there is always delicious and portions are big, regular plate feeds up to 4 people. You won’t go wrong coming to eat here. Most definitely we will come back 👍🏼

Stopped in with a large group (22+), and the restaurant was running family-style only for parties our size, which is fine—just good to know up front. The bigger issue was availability: I ordered a Sam Adams and they were out, and they were also out of the chicken cannelloni. The food was alright, but the experience so far was a bit bumpy due to multiple items being unavailable. Hoping next visit is smoother with more menu and drink options in stock.

Bucca di Beppo in Orlando is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants around! 🍝❤️
The food is always incredible, the portions are huge, and the prices are still reasonable with deals they sent you on emails ! They are a nice bonus
and their birthday desserts… wow! They are massive, delicious, and truly unbeatable—nobody does it like Bucca!
We just wish they had a location closer to the Villages, as it’s quite a drive and not everyone can make it there easily. Even we only manage to go about once a year, and it’s always worth it.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian with generous portions, great deals, and unforgettable desserts, this place is a must-visit!

I haven't been to one of these since they closed the one in Honolulu. There was almost no one else in here. The shareable dishes seemed somewhat expensive. The 4 of us would have had to agree on 1 dish as opposed to ordering 2 or 3 and sharing. My daughter in law had a special request and the server and the kitchen accommodated it quickly. My lasagna was delicious but you could tell it had been reheated because of a few scorched areas on the lasagna and the plate. Very good portion sizes.

My first visit and it I was disappointed. The appetizer was greasy. Main entree was flavorless the noodles was sticky and dry, the chicken have no flavor. I order soup of the day and they didn’t have any left.That made no sense to me because we had an early reservation.They had people eating there with 2 dogs, and the dogs was barking the whole time. Manager gave me 10% discount because I told him that the food was not good. The waitress was polite but not very friendly. I would not going back there again.
