Editorial Review for Buca di Beppo – by Saira Masood

In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!

The food at this location is good, above average for a chain, but the location at Universal City Walk has been the best by far. I have tried multiple locations to compare. The managers here are great but I only know that because I have had MANY experiences that have required their attention (and I do not believe in complaining in a restaurant), so needless to say, the dining experience has left much to be desired. I recommend the Penne with Spicy Sausage and a Large Pepperoni pizza TO GO !!! The decor is super cool and the ambience works great if you are not there during peak hours where it gets VERY loud and people allow their unbehaved children to run around the rooms. This place is great if you're going with a ton of people or you have friends with monster-children (no one will notice) Do yourself a favor and visit Gaetano's on Whittier Blvd in La Habra. They are family owned and they come from Italy. THE BEST FOOD EVER! Their prices are even better than Buca's and it's homemade!

Pros: PIZZA

Cons: Loud Atmosphere, slow service

service is great, atmosphere is ok, but our table was really dirty, seats were dirty. the wine was vinegar, but they did replace it for free. food is typical italian food.

Pros: food, service

Cons: not clean
