buca di beppo italian restaurant

had terrible service,14 in party and one bowel of spagetti, three pieces of chicken parm to split between all of us. at 17 dollars a plate .

hard to find, but worth the search. i've only been there once so perhaps my rating is premature, but i enjoyed my visit. we were a large group (more than 20) , which the staff handled superbly. drink orders were taken and delivered efficiently and had no problem splitting the tickets by individual or small group. i never had to ask to have my drink refilled, but we did need to ask for more bread once.

now on to the food. dinner entrees are served family style with a small and large to choose from. since we were there in the early afternoon, the lunch menu was available which is individual portions. i ordered the chicken cannelloni, as cannelloni is the dish by which i judge all italian restaurants, and it was excellent. i hadn't known it was chicken i would have sworn it was italian saugage, but without the grease. it was exactly what i expect when i order cannelloni. i've read some of the other reviews that complained about the family style portions not feeding enough and i don't know what they are talking about. it appeared that everyone in our party had plenty to eat since most of them needed boxes for leftovers.

speaking of portion size, the deserts are also enormous and clearly intended to be shared. i did not order one myself, but i did sample the red velvet cake and tiramisu that others ordered. the cake was good, but the tiramisu was heavenly. and you get about a quart of it! beware of the cocoa powder sprinkled on top though. if you inhale as you take a bite, you're likely to aspirate some.

the one on the plaza is in a basement of sorts and is easy to miss. it is also quite a labyrinth to navigate. the decor is a bit busy, but interesting, except for the bathroom. i thought the men's room decor was kind of disturbing. nothing obscene, but kind of crude and not the sort of thing i care to see.

overall, i highly recommend giving this place a try. it's worth fighting plaza traffic and parking, but don't use the rest room unless you really have to.

we had the fettuccine supremo with the chicken and it was good but i would not recommend the chicken because it tasted like cafeteria chicken. you can also get shimp which i would recommend.

spaghetti was average with large meat balls. service or shall i say lack of service was performed. asked for check several times before simple task was done. will not return for another ignored meal.

a nice place to indulge. not much to offer for low calorie, low fat or non-pasta dishes ... but it's the place to go for family style italian meals. take the whole family or a group of friends and sample a variety.

its a chain. it’s basic. but it’s good basic, as much as i hate to admit that. but if you’re going to spend money on italian food in las vegas, look around a bit.

everything at buca is supersized and so tasty , you are guaranteed to be satisfied. we ordered a platter with 4 kinds of dessert , do not order that unless you are more than 3 . also , the tiramisu is divine . we had the apple gorgonzola salad which i highly recommend . plus, the lasagne is delicious! enjoy♥️

i haven't been to buca di beppo since i was a kid, so i wasn't quite sure what to expect when i went recently. a group of us went together, which they accommodated. however, our server was new and seemed to be too busy with other tables to help us. it took us awhile to order, and eventually we had to order with another server to get our drinks. we started with mozzarella cheese bread for an appetizer, which was very good. we had individual portions thereafter. i had the eggplant parmesan where some of my friends had the shrimp linguine, the baked ziti, and chicken parmesan. we all agreed that the ziti was the best dish there, the rest being mediocre at best. the chicken and eggplant parmesan's breading was okay, though it had become soggy due to it being cooked prior. the linguine was tasteless due to a lack of sauce, the garlic only found in parts of the dish. the broccoli wasn't cooked well and lacked seasoning. it was a very unappetizing meal. due to the poor service and disappointing food, i won't be dining here again.

i would rate this restaurant as a zero if an option. we had a group with a reservation there weeks in advance. there service wasn't bad, it was horrendous. drinks took over 30 minutes and were wrong. half the food showed up (salads and entrees) at the same time. took another 30 minutes to get the rest of the food, but never did get all of it. the server was full of excuses about being short staffed. we talked to the manger twice about how bad the service was and he actually said he was short staffed so we needed to be patient. obviously incompetent management. trying to pay was a complete cluster. we finally left cash on the table and left after discussing with the manager again. until they find someone with actual restaurant management experience i would avoid this place at all costs. this was the first time in years i left without worrying about gratuity. i hate to do it, but this a terrible experience.

ordered food online from this place and were way too before the estimated time. ordered pasta and eggplant parmesan both were nice . parmesan mentioned for 2 or more people but it to be for 1 or more people but definately not 2

everything about this place is exceptional. food and wines are amazing, environment is fun. went on a busy saturday so rarely saw our waitress.

i've been here a few times and liked everything i got. you get so much food for your money. the service was good and the atmosphere is unique. everyone should try this place at some point.

a complete rip off. food wise, there is nothing bad about it. the food was fine, but nothing special. the atmosphere was a little intense. way too much stuff going on, very noisy and very warm. the tables were just pop up tables with a cheap looking plastic gingham table cloth. we felt like we were in a church basement.

that staff was fine, out waitress was very nice. the food was out quickly.

the worst thing about this place is that they nickle and dime you. everything is ala cart. so you will pay $20-28 dollars for three pieces of chicken, and it doesn't come with anything, no bread, no salad, no small side of pasta, no that is $10-25, extra for each item.

the quality of food is just slightly better than olive garden, but at least you get all you can eat bread sticks and salad. next time i want to drop this type of money, i'm going to go to a fancier, classier restaurant, like lidia's.

so so so good. i can't believe there are any negative reviews. i guess it is because nobody who likes an experience takes the time to write about it. i've always loved this place and went there several times with large groups. they always have amazing food. the service has its good days and its bad days, but it is worth it for the deliciousness you will experience even if service is slow or bad. we even chose to have our rehearsal dinner there the night before our wedding and it was so perfect. we had a little room to ourselves and several waiters/waitresses dedicated to our group. we often go for special occasions like our anniversary. my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

hit in the head with a large glass tumbler and waiter doesn't stop!. bad experience during christmas season. ordered salad and 2 entrees. our server brought out small salad plates. a bit later a server brought out our entrees. i asked why we hadn't got the salad first. the server shrugged and walked off. about 10 minutes later our waiter arrived with the salad and told us "salad bar is backed up", dropped the salad and left. while trying to eat our dinner on the tiny plates, because our waiter was nowhere to be found, another waiter passed our table with a giant stack of dirty dishes. one of the top goblets flew off and struck my daughter in the head. the waiter didn't even stop! the manager came over when she heard all the uproar, and we were offered a free dessert for our inconvenience. horrible experience! worst restaurant experience ever!
