Very deceiving online menu shows individual meals, mentioning nothing about being lunch only, lunch item, lunch time... THERE IS A DISTINCT "LUNCH COMBOS" SECTION SEPARATE FROM THE "BUCO FOR ONE" MEALS SECTION.
Instead of getting the chicken parm meals we planned on, we got a family size chicken Alfredo. Grainy sauce. Chicken taste like grocery store full-cooked grilled chicken chunks that have been reheated. Flavorless garlic bread. No non-soda drinks ...canned iced tea

Far greatest experience and service in a restaurant while visiting Universal. Moisés was really detail-oriented and friendly, which was a plus in our first time going at Buca di Beppo.

I love this place, i took my sister here for her brithday and it was the best thing i ever did. Authentic Italian food, everything is I tried was delicious. I ordered the Buca Big so the food portion fed about five people. I spent about $375 but it didn't matter because it was worth it. Make sure you call to make reservations especially if we have a big party.
