- SBSERVPRO of BellaireJul 1, 20265.0Arty and Cheyenne made our visit to Buca di Beppo in San Diego outstanding! They were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Their friendly personalities and excellent service created a fun, welcoming atmosphere that made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

- LWLindsey WeberJun 30, 20265.0Ran in for a quick bite between sessions and Jeff was fabulous! Amazing service and very friendly. Highly recommend!
- ESEddie SanchezJun 29, 20265.0Our server Arturo made our Anniversary Night special. Great wat to celebrate 30 years of marriage. Thank you Arturo ❤️ I hope this company appreciates you as much as we do.
- EBErika BrancatoJun 28, 20265.0It is my birthday week, and we kicked it off by seeing Josh Gates at Balboa. Before the show, we wanted to grab dinner, and it turned out to be the perfect start to my birthday celebrations. I love their newer location. I'm actually surprised they aren't even busier, although they seemed to be doing a great business with their to go orders. We made reservations, but honestly, we probably didn't need them. We always seem to order the same things because they're just that good: salad, pizza, or baked rigatoni. This time, we went with the salad and pizza, and I ordered the biggest brownie dessert I've ever seen... seriously, it could easily feed six people! Our server, Anthony, was cute as a button, and we discovered we had a lot in common. We sat, ate, talked, and genuinely enjoyed our evening. The food was absolutely on point, and I couldn't have asked for better company than my hubby as we started off my birthday week together. ❤️
- SGStephany GrovesJun 5, 20261.0Let’s just say I was literally crying at the end of dinner. We had booked a “party” space for 22 people 2 months ahead of time for my husband’s 50th birthday.Honestly, we weren’t expecting a whole lot to begin with but everywhere else wanted $100p/p preset menus for our large group. Buca had a reasonable cost (about $40 pp, for 5 course meal). We chose items which we thought would be “safe”, spaghetti, ziti pasta, chicken parmigiana etc. We were seated right away, bread on the table, and that’s when the disaster began. No one offered water/drinks (soda/coffee/tea were to be included). Water at least for EVERYONE should have been a given. Food came out haphazardly, it was dry(probably sitting under the heat lamp forever), no serving utensils and STILL NO WATER. Sangria ordered took 30 minutes to come out (my poor guests said it tasted like fruit punch). At the end of “dinner” the table looked like a disaster zone, no one cleared the table, no one offered more water, never did get any soda. They charged us for an extra person (which I didn’t notice until later because I was so upset). I would NEVER go back to Buca and would highly recommend that you look somewhere else for your party.
