   So a reservation at Buca de Beppo isn't a traditional reservation. My 7: 45PM reservation was basically a designated time for me to check in and get on a wait list for 45 minutes to see if any seats were available. Don't call it a reservation. If it's not a reserved time and table for your patrons, call it a standby list. We left and went to Saggio's and had the Shrimp Arrabiata and the Baked Ziti. Coincidentally, the couple seated next to us had the same experience that evening at Buca.

   Teenagers without reservations, this is your place! Adults who booked two weeks ahead of time, get ready to wait and watch the walk-ins get seated before you. To the young hosts at Buca di Beppo, ABQ, a reservation is more like a suggestion. We got there ten minutes before and waited an additional 25 minutes after. The food was okay, the server was great, and the food did come out quickly. The serving sizes were a smaller family style. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not the way I would have picked to spend Valentine's Day. We will not be returning.

   Our server, Chris, was excellent but the restaurant was dirty. Watched the bussers “clean” the tables around but just used a rag to take food and debris off the table and onto the floor. It was pretty slow too. All of our original silverware looked like it was never washed but Chris fixed that immediately

   The overworked server did her best, but there's only so much she could do. The restaurant was dirty and it's pretty clear there's little intent to maintain any semblance of quality. I get the family style model but there's no accommodations for smaller families of just 2. Very expensive.

   The pasta and salad were delicious. The drinks were great. The only bad part was the brownie was really hard to cut and eat. But overall it was a great time.
