- MGM G6 days ago5.0We had a very large party reserved at 6 on Saturday, Carole took care of us and she was such a doll. She was so patient with us having little kids with our crew, attentive to everyone’s needs and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Come, bring your family and ask for Carole!
- MDMarissa DonaldsonJun 25, 20265.0We've been to Buca di Beppo several times, but we've never had service quite like we did with Giuliany. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, and he made the whole evening feel extra special. He was so warm, friendly, and genuinely kind, always checking on us with a smile and making sure everything was perfect. The food was wonderful as always, but it was Giuliany's sweet personality that made this our favorite visit yet. We truly hope we get him as our server the next time we come back!
- EWElizabeth WilkinsJun 25, 20265.0We had such a good time at Buca di Beppo! Giuliany was our server, and he was awesome from start to finish. He made us feel welcome, kept up with our table, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was fresh and tasted amazing, and his service really tied the whole experience together. We'll definitely ask for him next time!
- LSLane SekavecJun 10, 20262.0Tonight we went to the restaurant for my son's 22nd birthday. Made reservations for six at 6:00. My son and I got there ahead of the rest of our party about 5:45 or so. Told the hostess about our reservation and her response was "Let me know when more of you are here" which I took to mean when the rest of the part shows up. Now I understand the concept of not seating partial parties. I get it. But..................I looked around and we appeared to be the only people in the restaurant. She COULD have seated us and not had any issues with tables not being able to be turned or others being made to wait. We ended up being the only people in our section when we were finally seated. Being seated would have taken care of one other problem: the table where we were seated was miserably warm and uncomfortable. We'd have known ahead of the rest of our party getting there that the table was NOT cool at all. We asked our server (who was truly MARVELOUS!!!) and she commented the restaurant's A/C was not working well. Ok. Again I understand things happen but.................... When I went to the restroom, the remainder of the restaurant WAS COOL.........easily 10-15 degrees lower than the room we were seated in. They COULD HAVE seated us in a different part of the restaurant and not lost out on anything. The room we were in was the first one behind the hostess station. MAYBE ten tables. Finally, I went to the restroom to change my grandson's diaper. When I put him down to stand up, I started putting things away and he walked over to the sink to pick up a toilet brush!!! I honestly don't know if it was on the floor or the sink but either one is unacceptable. To have a toilet brush out in the open where toddlers can access it is crazy and if it WAS on the sink........well that's even worse. I asked to speak to a manager and explained all three issues I noted above, especially about the warm dining room. She didn't seem to comprehend the issue nor a way to solve it. I told her the dining room we were standing in at the time shouldn't be used to seat customers until they fix the A/C. I asked her how many servers she had working and she answered three. I told her should could put diners in ANY of the other room as they were all much cooler and just have all three servers working those rooms. Her answer, which I still can't figure out was who/how will they get drinks?? I was stunned. The servers could either come up to the warm room OR...............use whatever facilities the other two servers were using to get drinks as it's obvious all the other tables were getting drinks SOMEHOW. Between having to wait in a warm reception area, being seated in an overly warm dining room, finding a toilet brush accessible to a toddler in the bathroom and the manager being clueless, uncaring or a combination of both really put a damper on the evening. Everyone at our table was uncomfortable in the warmth and we just wanted to be done. I do want to stress the food and service were both very good. The service was actually very well done!! Bex was on top of everything and I have absolutely no complaints about our experience with her!!!
- TSTroy SimsJun 9, 20261.0Please read my honest review of this restaurant. 3 years ago, I had a 5 star review for this location and now it’s a 1. Here is why. Food: -1/5 The food served here used to be fresh and quality. I’m all on board for spending 20-30 dollars on a single meal if it’s good. However, things haven’t looked up. Backstory on the food: I gave buca 3 tries from my first encounter with their dry and unfortunately unsavory dish The first dish I originally would get is chicken Alfredo. 3 years ago on the making of my original review, it was the best Alfredo I’d ever had. Fast forward to today and it’s the equivalent of a lamp heated Walmart dish you grab for 10.99 near the checkout but with a 30-40 dollar price tag. Since my Alfredo hasn’t been good, I said screw it. Let me not just judge them on one meal and try something else. I decided to go for the family size lasagna for takeout. Thinking this would serve two people easily (family size being for 3-4 servings) When I got home, I saw 3 salmon slivers of lasagna. I’m thinking at least a hearty square. I’m sure we all know a good lasagna serving when we see one. But this was 3 pathetic strips. I ate two, and realized one wasn’t going to feed my friend so I said never again. I could’ve bought a lasagna from any regular convince store, it would’ve been more palatable and have more flavor. Which is crazy for an oven meal. I’ll say that again. An oven meal lasagna was better than this lasagna at buca. ——————-/—————— Employees: 0/5 Hopefully they started having someone up front full time. The few times I used to go into the restaurant to sit down, there was NO ONE up front. I had to go to the side window to ask for a server. If anything I’m the problem, but I wanted to give them a fair and honest chance to serve good food and quality service. I hope that they fix the issues, use quality food, and adjust their prices if we’re going to continue using bland microwave food. The only people that will continue going to this restaurant is people who don’t care about flavor, and just want to sit somewhere and eat. Otherwise, there’s much better Italian spots I could recommend on the plaza that’s worth the money (and you get an actual serving)
