We had a limited menu for the 2 of us since they offered Thanksgiving dinners only (on Thanksgiving) However, we were able to order a good chopped salad and chicken limone appetizers which were very good and more than adequate proportions and delicious desserts.

We had a baby, no one offered highchair. The waitress kept putting items down in front of baby. Service was ok otherwise. Food was ok but not worth the money.

Hostess/server was very cold and unfriendly. She clearly did not like children. All the food was great except the cheese garlic bread which tasted horrible. More expensive than anything else we ate the whole vacation. About $36/person and most were kids who ate two bites.

We’ve been to a Buca do Beppo elsewhere and knew what to expect but were happy to see that our expectations were met and exceeded. The food was great, the service was wonderful and we were immersed in American Italian and Italian memorabilia that kept us chatting and puzzling over everything surrounding us.

Wow! The once hopping’, loud, energetic, waiting in line restaurant has really changed. When we walked in there was only one other couple seated. It was deathly quiet except for the music playing in the background (and it was not the Italian music we were accustomed to in our many previous visits). Our waiter was nice and attentive throughout our visit. The prices of the food has gone up but so has every other restaurant. The pepperoni pizza was half the size it use to be for $28 and the baked rigatoni was $39. The food was no different than going to the mall at Sbarro’s,… it was average at best. It’s too bad, I’ve had great memories at these restaurants and it seems to really gone down hill.
