- KKKwint57Jun 30, 20264.0The food was fresh and the service was on point. The only thing lacking was preparation and some flavors. The lasagna was dry, not nearly enough sauce and was a little cool on the inside. Not completely hot and fresh as expected. Not enough melted cheese. Just regatta and dried noodles. Refresh the leftovers the next day with our own sauce. Pasta sauce was not as flavorful as I remembered from past visits. A little bland.
- MMMark MacLachlanJun 26, 20262.0I specifically went just to get a slice of their amazing cheesecake only to discover it had been removed from the menu and replaced with an Italian cream cake that was really nothing more than a glorified lemon pound cake. I used to go here for dinner specifically because I could finish the night off with that cheesecake. I won't be back the cheesecake.
- JBJules BJun 22, 20261.0We dined in at this location in mid May. Great service, great food. Last week, we ordered the individual meals (newer offering) through UberEats - food was OK, lacked flavor, and the salad was literally 2-3 tablespoons of lettuce. We figured it was a one-off. Today, we decided to order take-out for Father's Day with the family. The team was very pleasant, but the food was not. The lasagna was dry/old tasting and the shrimp scampi linguine was overcooked and over buttered. $85 for bad food. We definitely won't be back!
- AMAshley McJun 20, 20261.0We drove an hour to celebrate our 8-year-old's birthday because all she wanted was what she called "fancy pasta" at Buca di Beppo. When we arrived at lunchtime, we were told they could only seat guests with reservations because they had a party of 80. While we understand large parties happen, there was no indication anywhere that reservations would be required, and we were never offered an apology or any empathy. Instead, it was basically, "You're out of luck." Watching an excited 8-year-old leave in tears on her birthday was heartbreaking. A simple apology, some kindness, or even a suggestion for another time would have gone a long way. Instead, we wasted a two-hour round trip and ended up with a very disappointed birthday girl. If your restaurant is going to limit seating to reservations due to private events, that information should be clearly communicated so families don't waste their time and special occasions.
- FGFayth GJun 10, 20262.0I am incredibly disappointed with the service we received while celebrating my daughter’s second birthday. I chose this restaurant because I believed it was a family-oriented place and thought it would be the perfect setting for such a special occasion. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by poor service from both our server, Jennifer, and the manager on duty. When we first arrived, everything seemed fine. We were seated, placed our orders, and looked forward to enjoying our meal. However, once our food arrived, Jennifer stopped checking on our table altogether. Our entire table sat with empty drinks for quite some time before we finally had to flag her down ourselves. When she came over, she already seemed annoyed that we needed assistance. Without asking, she poured water directly into two partially finished Sprites and then walked away. As the meal continued, it became increasingly obvious that our table was being treated differently. Anytime Jennifer went to the table next to us, she was cheerful, attentive, and engaging. Meanwhile, our table felt like a burden. Every interaction seemed rushed or irritated. Another issue was that several of our plates were dirty, which is something that should never happen at any restaurant. When we finished eating, we asked if the restaurant did anything special for birthdays. Jennifer responded in an annoyed tone, saying, “I mean, I could. I’m just alone.” What made this particularly frustrating was that we had literally just watched her happily celebrate a birthday for the table next to us. It felt dismissive and made us feel like my daughter’s birthday wasn’t worth the same effort or attention. The situation became even worse when it was time to pay. Jennifer dropped off the check books and walked away without explaining anything. While gathering our payment methods, we realized one of the debit cards was missing. My sister politely asked Jennifer if she could check the area where she processed the payment. Instead of helping, Jennifer responded with a snarky, “Check the books.” Every person at the table checked the books multiple times and the card was nowhere to be found. When Jennifer returned, she immediately snatched one of the books out of someone’s hand, pulled the card from it, shoved it back, and sarcastically said, “Yeah, it was in the books.” When we explained that we had all just checked, she continued arguing with us instead of simply resolving the issue professionally. What I find most disappointing is that the manager never stepped in. After the initial concerns and obvious tension, I expected management to take over, help de-escalate the situation, and ensure we had a positive experience. Instead, the poor service continued unchecked. At no point did it feel like our concerns were taken seriously. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but customers should not be treated as an inconvenience for asking for drink refills, celebrating a birthday, or trying to locate a missing debit card. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because the food was genuinely delicious. Unfortunately, great food can only make up for so much. The service and management response completely overshadowed what should have been a happy celebration for my daughter’s birthday. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues so other families don’t leave feeling as disappointed as we did.
