Buca Di Beppo Italian

It has been several years since we last went to Buca. I can see from this visit why they are going bankrupt. The quality of the food has fallen dramatically. It is very generic American style Italian without any hint of true Italian flavor, i.e. the herbs and spices are sparse and low grade. The tomatoes taste canned. The Italian sausage tastes stale. And considering that we paid nearly $35 per person in total, that is not acceptable. There are far better family style Italian restaurants around, especially mom&pop places that support local communities. We've been to every Buca in the LA area over the years. But Brea will be the last one we ever go to.

I had a meeting scheduled at Buca in Brea, as I've had great experiences at other Buca locations. Unfortunately, this visit was quite disappointing. I ordered a sandwich and water, but it took 45 minutes to receive a stale sandwich and what seemed like reheated old fries. The staff was apologetic, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for them because it wasn’t their fault. Despite my forgiving nature, the experience was a letdown. The restaurant was empty at noon, yet they seemed understaffed in the kitchen. I may stick to my local Buca in the future, but I do hope this particular location improves.

Awesome! I absolutely loved the food, the service (Janet), and the atmosphere! Our server Janet was amazing! I ordered the quattro plate, baked rigatoni, and the fettuccine Alfredo. My favorite was the quattro plate and the Alfredo. The baked rigatoni was aldente, so it wasn't to my liking. It was my daughter's birthday so I ordered the birthday brownie which was huge! We absolutely loved the brownie dessert ?, and the staff sang happy birthday. ? This was my first visit to Bucca de Peppo, and it won't be my last.

We had a 2 birthday celebration at a table that accommodated all of us perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered Ceasars salad, fettuccine Alfredo, chic parmesan and chic marsela, which was fabulous! The waitress was there for our every need but not overbearing. We loved the old Italian decor. My son had his service dog with him, and there was no mention or recourse. We laughed, we ate and had great conversation. Reserve uma mesa agora

Judging from the other reviews, I had some what high expectations of this restaurant. I was sadly let down. The food was very bland and also too expensive for the portion sizes and quality. I'm giving two stars because my waiter was very nice.

Got take out food was good and still very hot after my 30 minute car ride home in traffic. Lasagna is always a great choice as well as their fettuccine Alfredo. Salad was a little old but still edible. Bread was fresh. We always enjoy buca!

It was a wonderful dining experience, we ordered the spaghetti and meatball family dish, lemon chicken and house salad. We were vacationing with grandkids and they did not complain about anything. It’s a great place for the whole family.

The food was good and the family style was amazing but waiting for beer in 1-2 hours was ridiculous and I understand the servers are doing their job but they just need to freaking hurry up and serve my beer instead of ignoring me Reserve uma mesa agora
