Best

Absolutely loved it.

Worst

The portions are too large for one person, the food is too expensive for what it is, the waitstaff is usually preoccupied with how young and cool they are, and it is far to noisey...

You can find better. 9/19/2011

This place had horrible service! i had my birthday here and was definitely not satisfied. The food was alright, not good enough for the price i paid though. You can find many other italian restaurants in houston that beats this place! more

In the "spirit of Italian culture", you are asked to leave! 9/17/2011

In the "spirit of Italian culture", meals are served family style and you are promptly ASKED TO LEAVE. The atmosphere is great, food taste is great, our server Samantha was very attentive and efficient.... everything is great until a gentleman by the name of "George" comes to your table and asks you to leave. Then comes back a second time within 2 or 3 minutes to ask you to get up again. There is Italian family style dining for you! Would recommend this place to anyone, as long as you and your 13 guests can place your drink/dinner order, have coffee, dessert and pay for your check quickly before you are "politely asked to leave". more

It's cute, but too expensive and Olive Garden is better 9/10/2011

Olive Garden has been fantastic the last few times we've visited, so they're raising the bar. Bucca is really cute inside, and that makes it worth a visit. However, it's expensive and the food isn't as good as Olive Garden. more

Budget friendly for families 7/30/2011

I signed up for email promotions and they send me $10 coupons. I take my girls for dinner and we all enjoy it. I like family style eating, more than enough and we really like the food. Family atmosphere. more

Absolutely loved it. more

A good place for small dinner parties 8/8/2010

I went to Bucca di Beppo for the third time and the food is consistently good. The staff is wonderful. I see that there are some less than stellar reviews here and I wonder what these people were expecting - Tony's???? The prices are very reasonable. Last night we had chicken marsala and a penne pasta with shrimp. The sides were fresh vegetables and the salad was fresh ingredients also. more

Remedial Menu, Tedious Staff 6/14/2010

By no stretch of the imagination is this place good. I have been to the Buffalo Speedway location twice... more

Overpriced/ Remedial Italian Dining 6/14/2010

By no stretch of the imagination is this place good. I have been to the Buffalo Speedway location twice now; once a few years back and again this past weekend. Pros: good hostess staff Cons: overpriced, remedial italian dishes more

The best chocolate cake Ive ever had 5/24/2010

I absolutely love this place. The food is always tasty, the service is wonderful and the environment is friendly. I feel like in an italian grandma's house with the decor and family style dining. Ive tried their lasagna and lemon chicken and mashed potatoes and they taste homemade. Pros: warm cozy environment & staff, tasty food, great prices Cons: b/w photos of obese people on the wall more

Awesome food and atmosphere!!!!! 3/23/2010

I absolutely love this place! I've been 4 times already and am never disappointed! The food is always perfection and the wine is refreshing. Every room has a different decor and very entertaining pictures. I will definitely continue to come here and would recommend it to anyone!!!! Pros: food, drinks, atmosphere Cons: servers could use a little help more

what a change 10/5/2009

This was our family restaurant that we used to go every other week, up until last year. Since our teenager boy start asking to try different restaurants/taste, we were not at Buca for a year or may be a little longer. Last night, we decided to have a nostalgic dinner and stopped by Buca. This was, unfortunately, an unpleasant reunion. Our receptionist was nice and tried to locate us in a peaceful place but his manager (!) insisted in a highly noisy room that we had to change, eventually. On our way to our table, we were almost run over by a waitress and she didn't seem like she cared at all. All seemed the same from outside but almost any item in the menu, that we used to love, has changed. Shockingly different ceasar salad (no more anchovies), highly greasy pizza, OK spaghetti, some ordinary bread to start munching with no olive oil on the table. Their house Chianti, however, was as tasty as we remember. I was adequately curious to ask whether the management has changed and sure enough, the ownership have changed. I hope they can restore their old ambiance and taste but we will be hesitant to try again for a while - but remember old days' Buca that we had so many lovely memories? ? Pros: very family oriented Cons: sometimes too loud to carry a conversation more

Family style eatin' 5/4/2009

Bring 4 or 5 people so you can order lots of things. If you go with a date, you will only be able to order an entree and a side. No salad, bread or dessert. Pros: Big portions Cons: Big portions more

Imagine bring in prison 3/10/2009

I expected quality. I felt as if in prison. the owner kicked us from a birthday party after a bit over an hour as " he needed to seat another party." We had not even cut the cake! The owner was napoleonish, and we will never, EVER consider returning! Pros: Air conditioned Cons: everyhing else more

chicken marsala is the best 2/12/2009

their chicken marsala is the best i've had, yummy sauce!! however, the prices are a little high for the atmosphere and type of food you're getting....love to take it to-go, because the restaurant is a little loud and impersonal.... Pros: chicken marsala Cons: price more

Awesome 10/12/2008

We went there for my 20th birthday this past September. The waiter was amazing and attentive, and the manager checked on us to make sure we were having a good time at least twice. The food was perfect and my entire family had a wonderful time. I HIGHLY reccomend going there, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or just a regular dinner date. more

Charge me $2.50 for a very small plate of plain spaghetti 9/18/2008

I can't believe they charged me $2.50 for a plate of plain spaghetti for my 10 month old daughter. I actually asked if they can just give me a little bit, but they sent a very small plate. Food is ok, not bad, service is also good. Pros: Foor portion is big Cons: why charge me for the plain spaghetti? more

Interesting decor, decent italian food and drinks 4/26/2008

Similarly to other reviewers, I would not recommend this place for special occasions. However, you got to try to place once. The decor is interesting and the serving size is huge. The food is average but I do love their caesar salad with anchovies (you have to ask for it) and they make a good margarita. The service is spotty as we went here several times and sometimes we get good service while other times it was average. I don't recommend sitting at the kitchen table because it tends to be very noisy and we people walking pass you to get into the main dinning rooms, you feel like you're on display. Pros: Interesting atmosphere and decor, decent food and drinks Cons: Not the best Italian food in town, recommend reservation on weekends more

We went for first time last night with another couple.....HORRIBLE service....HORRIBLE Food!! Photos around the restaurant were the only positive thing. Pros: THERE AREN'T ANY Cons: VERY OVERPRICED -- VERY THIN CHICKEN more
