Beppe & Gianni's Trattoria

I think the food is hit or miss here. My dish was good, but I think the homemade pasta or hand made pasta is way overrated. One dish was dry and chewy. Maybe they’re having off day? Would I go back probably not

The restaurant is housed in a converted home, giving it a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A large number of outdoor tables are arranged, adding to its charm. While butter-and-wine-based clam dishes are quite common, this Italian spot offers a delightful twist with clams in tomato sauce as a starter—an excellent choice. The ravioli had an exceptionally fresh taste and rich flavor, and though the aglio e olio spaghetti would’ve benefitted from a slightly firmer al dente texture, the bigger issue was the lack of emulsified sauce from the pasta water and oil, which made the dish feel a bit dry. Still, the overall flavor balance was commendable. For dessert, the ricotta cheesecake struck a lovely balance in both texture and taste. I finished with an espresso, which wrapped up a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. The staff provided outstanding service, making the visit even more memorable. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend. diners take time either before or after the meal to enjoy a stroll in Washburne Park, located right next to the restaurant.

Super food and service! We arrived at 7:30 on a Monday night, a night when many restaurants in Eugene are closed. We waited about 20-minutes in the foyer, after which a bunch of people left. The seating was then immediate and the service was lightning-fast. Besides for the food being fantastic, the staff is so nice and friendly. The host was super nice and the waitress was so delightful. When I left we were satiated, happy, and uplifted. Also appreciate that fresh fish is on the menu.

People really hype this place up, not sure why. Bland to mild flavor on both pasta dishes. The cake was so dense and bitter on the bottom. Very loud place, but charming and had a very nice server. Won’t be back for ok food and $80 with tip.

Great restaurant right by UO campus. If they have the special risotto, get it it’s excellent. Wait does get long, get there close to 5pm to avoid a longer line. One of my favorite restaurants.

Great food we will be back! Recommend this Italian find. Ordered pesto fettuccine also had the bread and olive oil & balsamic vinegar.

Took my girlfriend there for her birthday. Sat outside. No bugs. Great food and service.

Dined in here for the first time and was absolutely thrilled! Starters, entrees, drinks, and dessert were all fabulous! Service was excellent, fast and attentive. Tables are spaced fairly close together so when a table sat across from us it was hard to have a separate conversation. Plenty of vegetarian options made for a wonderful experience!

I found Beppe & Gianni's on a few YouTube recommendations for places to try in Eugene. The location is close to the university campus. I believe there was maybe a 30 minute wait so we killed a little bit of time at the cafe across the street. The inside of the restaurant was nice, the decor was like we were in someone's house but with about 20 other tables around. I'd say it was cozy and comfortable set up for a place that was really busy. The food was great so it made for a great date night place.

I'm sad that I was a little disappointed in the experience here. It was way too hot and since the air conditioner at my mom and sister's house was out we were not about to cook in the house. I chose the puttanesca, which I thought was really quote good. The portion size was good as well. I'd wanted the pasta all' Adamo, but as I suspected the sauce was made ahead and they couldn't take out the mushrooms (makes sense, but I had to ask!). My sister had the cappella di vescovo (aka Bishop hats) and I thought it was REALLY good, even if she wasn't the biggest fan of it. Though my puttanesca was good, I would order the cappella di vescovo if I we came here again. I didn't try mom's lasagna, but she was happy with it. They also had a kids menu which I was thankful for given the menu isn't on the cheap side. My favorite part of the meal may actually have been the appetizers. The roasted garlic with cambozola was SO good. I know that people roast whole garlic heads, but I never understood what made that special (or how to do it correctly, obviously) until we had this, and it was so good. Our other appetizer was the bruschetta mista, with which we chose to have all five of the possible toppings. I love tapenade and this was no exception, but the cannellini bean topping may have been my favorite. It was delicious and made me think I need to figure out what I can do to make a some sort of appetizer from the beans. Service was just ok. The server didn't come to check on us very often. We were indoors, which was nice since it was so hot, but it was kind of dim. I think it's been mentioned before but the decor is so outdated; it's like what you might expect from an Olive Garden or something with the wallpaper and stuff. It's just kind of corny. We also weren't offered any bread to start though it seemed like maybe other tables were given complimentary--it's ok, just was weird. Maybe what was the most... odd, I guess, is that they brought a cup of dried grated parmesan, a la Kraft, and that just seemed cheap for a restaurant that's supposed to be this caliber. Parking is not the best, though there's a few along the east side of the building. Street parking and possibly in the mechanic lot to the west of the restaurant (unless my sister was just playing with fire).

We've been coming here since 2005 when I took my sweetie there as a kind of first date way back then. It was fabulous. The salmon dinner with green beans and a side of spaghetti marinara was fantastic. Bread, salad my cake dessert always great. Over the years. Nice bubbly by the glass too. BUT LAST NIGHT 6/18/25 was pretty bad. I walked in after my now husband finally secured a high top in the bar. The noise was absolutely deafening. They were busy like always... the beer was not that cold, neither was my prosecco. Ok so we got some ice, because they seemed overwhelmed and didn't want to get new ones. My roasted veg antipasto came without the awesome grilled artichokes, the reason I came. So I flagged down the owner he looked at my plate and saw they were not there. He said he would fix it. I finally got our waitress who was overwhelmed to go get them from the kitchen. Great. Our lasagna took almost an hour I had heard it was good. The guy next to us got his first it looked great. Ours came and it was burned dry, no cheese. It looked like a mistake they had taken back to the kitchen and reheated. So I asked for marinara to liven it up. Nope it was still Pasty and tasteless. I opened up the layers with my fork to show the owner no cheese barely specks of meat. He seemed bland about it not really that apologetic. Ok fine. They were obviously slammed because of something at the university? We got a refund and only had to pay for our drinks. That was fair but!!! Our evening ruined and it's a 12 mile drive for us. We purposefully went later and... on a weekday. Because they don't take reservations. My point here is if you can't handle the traffic in your establishment and your cooks and staff are overwhelmed you must allow reservations. This can help you pace the flow so you can be consistent and not feel frantic or slammed. I've noticed most restaurants in Eugene cannot handle the traffic they get from the school on special events. We mistakenly went out that night. The waitress was so sorry for us. We left her a great tip. Management needs to address this to keep their staff and regular patrons like us happy. Probably will on go there again tomorrow n superbowl Sunday. Very sad because there are so few restaurants in town here were/ are this good.

I absolutely love this place! I've been here more than a dozen while I travel Oregon. I love the menu is consistent because you can get your favorite items, but I feel like a little change and maybe more specials could be fun. We love this restaurant and always bring friends. Service is always smooth. Ambiance is quaint and cozy. Very comfortable and homy.

My bf & and I are visiting Oregon for a Theo Von show; so we're trying some food places while out here, we're huge foodies from the bay in CA. The presentation of all our dishes is excellent. The food was just good, truly it didn't suffice my standards. However, I was quite appalled by how the utensils were touching the table with no placement of napkins under them; for the whole restaurant... it's quite unsanitary. The service was mid. My bf and I decided to try 2 appetizers and a dessert dish, with no interest of ordering an entree and our server was openly offended by it; I feel it was very unprofessional of him. The ambiance was quite stale, with no music playing, just overlapping of others talking. Music is a great addition to any restaurant.

such a cute place, great food, AMAZING service Gracie was an absolute sweetheart and so knowledgeable about the menu! have only heard great things about this place and it definitely lived up to the hype.

If ever you are in Eugene for dinner, definitely try Beppe & Gianni's Trattoria. Definitely prepare yourself for the carb load up. We started with their Roasted Garlic with Cambozola which had a whole roasted garlic, melted cambozola cheese served with their bread. We then ordered an array of pasta dishes- ravioli house special, cappelli di vescovo (bishop hats), and pasta all' adamo. The food was delicious. The pastas were fresh. Definitely order some wine to pair with your lovely entrees. For desserts we ordered their tiramisu and chocolate dessert which I completely forgot the name but both were so decadent and definitely worth trying.

The food here was absolutely delicious and the staff was friendly and efficient. Our meals came out very quickly. We started with the roasted garlic with cheese and bread for appetizer. My daughter had the salmon and I had the eggplant. We ended up sharing everything because it was all delicious! It was incredibly loud and there was an hour wait but really nothing you can do about either of those issues. I'd definitely go back!

Delicious handmade raviolis and lasagna! We went at 7 and got right in on a Sunday with a party at 4. Server was attentive and kind.

We stopped in for dinner and overall had a good time! I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, and while the flavor was absolutely on point - creamy, well-seasoned, with nice pancetta bits - I personally found the portion of noodles a bit overwhelming. I would've loved fewer noodles that's for sure, and maybe a bit more richness or depth to the sauce to balance it all out. Still tasty, just slightly unbalanced for my taste. My husband had the lasagna, which he enjoyed. It was hearty and satisfying, although the tomato sauce leaned a little strong. Nothing major, just a bit overpowering in parts. The portions overall are very generous, which some may love, but I/we found it to be a little too much - especially for Italian food (pasta coma). Next time, I'll try to go for something smaller or ask if there's a lighter portion available. The service was fantastic - attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance was a bit loud for my taste, and I do wish they offered a broader drink selection - something beyond just beer and wine would really elevate the experience. That said, it's a solid spot with good food, and we'll definitely be back. Just with a game plan for ordering next time.

Finally had the chance to try beppe & Gianni. Started off a bit rocky when we walked in. There was no host to greet you and the staff were just walking past us. We finally grabbed someone who was the host and got seated. Our server was Jenna she was attentive and checked in on us throughout our visit. The food was delicious, very fresh ingredients and seasoned nicely. We got the Panna cotta for dessert which was a pistachio flavor unfortunately, the vanilla really overpowered the flavor, and I got very little hints of pistachio.

Must stop when in Eugene. Home made raviolis and great wine. Right by campus so very convenient. Need to get there early since they don't take reservations.

We visited on a Saturday after a UO softball game - the restaurant is easy walking distance from the field. We knew there were no reservations and were warmly greeted by many staff at the front and shown to a table right away. The restaurant is a quiet cozy house and we did not feel cramped at all but were able to see what other diners ordered which helped because portions are VERY generous. We had the bread/olive oil/vinegar appetizers and drinks - the Bellinis are very pretty! We had lasagna, mediterranean seafood pasta, bishops hats and the special. We were too full for dessert. The service was excellent and we would 100% return in the future.

We came here on a weekday evening. It was busy but there were still some tables available. Speaking of the tables, they are crammed in there tight. Hard to be comfortable and not be hearing everything your neighbor table is saying, let alone sitting on top of them. The server was super quick and helpful! They don't have a kids menu or kids cups so I probably wouldn't recommend for kids, although they were able to make "kids versions" of pasta dishes and had high chairs. Our kids enjoyed it. We ordered the bread (wonderful but wish it were free), caprese salad (delicious), the Caesar salad (average), and carbonara pasta. We split the carbonara between two adults and it was more than enough- very rich but good. The kids split the butter and cheese fettuccine (not on the menu, but the server said it was an option) and we had a lot left (kids filled up on bread). Overall pretty good but not sure I'd revisit. Husband really liked it though so extra star.

What's not to like!!! Great service, world's best garlic and cheese bread, delicious food, attentive staff. And, a wonderful desert Ahhhhhh!

Beppe and Gianni's is located among the university of Oregon. It's looks cute little shack on the outside however it's got a fairly spacious dining inside. Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by hostess. We ended up ordering three appetizers and five entrées for six people. It was more than enough food. The food tasted more traditional than what you expected. My favorite was probably the clams and mussels appetizer.

We really enjoyed our meal tonight! It is walk in only. The restaurant is in a beautiful old house nestled into a neighborhood right by UofO. Lots of tables tucked away throughout. A bar and lots of beautiful paintings & art throughout. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. It's always a little loud since it's such close seating, but I think it's fun. It's a romantic date night spot and seems to always be filled up each time we've been. We got a special for appetizer, which closely resembled bruschetta, though I think it had another name. We also got the artisan bread with oil & vinegar to enjoy. We both then ordered the same meal, ha. It was called: BUCATINI QUATTRO FORMAGGI. A four cheese imported pasta dish that was delicious. We topped it with more Parmesan and grilled chicken. It was so tasty and we both enjoyed our meals very much. Plenty of leftovers as well. There are a few parking spots alongside the restaurant, and street parking and then you can also park down side roads and walk a short distance to the entrance, which is what we ended up having to do. Cute building & easy to find. Highly recommend it.

Tiny restaurant but big on flavor Never rushed .. relaxing even though often very busy Make a reservation!! Food is devine

I have absolutely no idea why people think this is a good restaurant and line up to get in. I've eaten here several times, at other peoples choosing, but last night was the straw that broke the camels back. I won't return. Party of 8 and we're seated at a Costco folding table that is completely inadequate for a large party. A BBQ or lawn party, ok, but don't throw a table cloth on a wobbly temporary table and think we don't notice. Buy a wooden table if you're such a "fine dining" restaurant. I felt like I was eating at a food cart. Chairs are horribly uncomfortable too. Service was abysmal. Party of 8, tip is guaranteed so why actually attend to them? Waiters never asked if we wanted more drinks or even offered dessert after our dinner...just lame. I ordered the halibut and it was about 1/4" thick and grilled to death and so dry and chewy I could barely get it down my throat. 42.00 wasted They do not serve cocktails in this "fine dining" establishment Waitress touted up the specialty bruschetta, which we ordered 2 of and it was not toasted at all, just sliced bread with ricotta cheese and 1/8 tsp fig jam. 4 pieces...14.00 Such a disappointment all the way around. Parking is a pain, it's VERY loud and noisy, service is awful and food is even worse. IVE HAD BETTER MEALS AT SPAGHETTI FACTORY for a fraction of the cost... Save your time money and frustration and go to any place else!

Fantastic Italian, I love this place. Everything is great! I always eat too much. Blah blah blah blah balhbiyy

Excellent Italian food! Cute date spot, it does get extremely busy and loud in there sometimes though. The roasted garlic is the absolute best, super soft spreadable garlic with warm bread and cheese, the perfect combination! Make sure you check out their dessert menu as well!

The seafood ravioli and bishop hats pasta never disappoint! Freshly made pasta, and creamy seafood cause~ delicious!! The service is sadly lacking. Our server continually left our table as we were not finished ordering. Ordered buttered noodles for my 3yo and was shocked to discover they charged me $17!! I feel like that was excessive.

Good service, cute atmosphere, but still no gluten free pasta options. Some items like the salads are gf and the salmon are made without gluten.

Just OK and not for the price. The tomato sauce tastes like its out it's out of a can. Wine and cocktails are way over priced. Go to olive garden 3 times to the 1.

This place never disappoints. Always good. Always amazing. Service is great. I was just telling my husband how I wish we had a place like this back at home (Bay Area California)

Oh boy, it's hard to know where to start on Beppe and Gianni's. A block from University of Oregon, walking distance from campus in an adorable converted house, we read on a foodie website they were one of the "essential" restaurants in town, so I was sold and actually pushed my dining partner pretty hard to go here. I love an old house for charm. To start, we had no wait during the weekday and breezed right in for early dinner. The food here wasn't as expected (although I would qualify it as "fine" and we could tell it was a favorite with locals and students.) Dishes featured old style Italian platters with green beans and homemade pasta. The waitstaff was friendly and professional and they had a pretty good wine list. The biggest issue (now I'm moving around in my chair uncomfortably) is there seemed to be a sewer system issue, resulting in an unpleasant olfactory situation going on near the powder rooms. I'll be frank, it was significant. We all know that old houses have old pipes (and have seen all the cute signs reminding visitors to be considerate when flushing, etc.) but this really was a next level problem from a odor standpoint. Sorry for the unvarnished truth, but gesh.

Great food and great service! The ravioli of the day was great, everything was done very well

Their food is amazing...worth the wait...but a couple things they could consider: If they don't want to take reservations, perhaps a computer system that can text you when your table is ready instead of forcing patrons to linger by the front door and wait for your name to be called. It's not super enjoyable to wait outside in the cold in the winter months of Oregon.

Loved the pasta, however the salad came straight out of the "clam shell" that they get from either Sysco or McDonell Wholesale. For the price, you could afford to add either grated carrots, tomatoes, onions or something! Don't love the fact you can't make reservations &@ times have to wait outside in the rain.

One of the classier restaurants in Eugene, this Italian place has been around for 20+ years and is located in a charming craftsman house. There are many fresh fish options (salmon, halibut, prawns, scallops) but my favorite is the baked lasagna. The portions are generous and delicious. I would have given 5 stars, but my lasagna noodles this time around weren't al dente, which I prefer. The sauce and spices were to perfection, however. Our server was lovely, and sitting outside on the patio while it was 75 degrees and nearing sunset was very enjoyable. The Caesar salad is one of my favorites. Prices are comparable to all the other Italian restaurants in town. $23+

EXCELLENT FOOD, Great "feel" to the place, and attentive staff. I really have trouble saying much more. Planning a third visit next week.

Service was excellent, but the food was a disappointment. Ask the kids to take me there for my birthday, which we did used to be. One of my favorite restaurants are waitress was amazing. We were seated quickly and she paid close attention to us on the other hand was not so good, my lasagna was burnt on top and watery in the middle other peoples entrées were not that good either or very small. Too bad.

Food, service, ambiance!! This is one of my favorite places. EVERYTIME I visit Oregon this is a must! I highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Italian food! You must love garlic. Enjoy!!

Our specials were delicious and the wine hit the spot. Our server Diego was attentive and prompt. Highly recommend for date night.

We enjoyed dinner at Beppe & Gianni's on Saturday evening. We arrived around 6p to a 25minute wait, which wasn't so terrible. We were sooo hungry and I was super excited to eat here as the food looked really yummy. I skipped wine with dinner since we'd been wine tasting during the day but ordered all sorts of menu items. We started with their roasted garlic dish, and OMG! Obsessed! I HAVE to make this at home. It was soooo good. I recently bought my Mom a terra cotta garlic roaster and I'm sure I'm a few seconds away from a one click buy on one for myself. This dish is heaven! The cambozola was insane, melty goodness smothered atop grilled bread with spreadable roasted garlic!!! If you come here and don't order this item, you have messed up. Next I enjoyed their spinach salad, which I really liked and made me feel ever so slightly better about previously devouring my weight in cambozola. I ordered the Bishop Hats pasta dish as my entrée, I felt was very nicely done. Felt like a special choice. I love me a great home made pasta. My friend ordered the Penne Ragu, which I felt was far too basic of a choice but he seemed to enjoy it. I feel like it was something you feed a four year old who is allowed to have lamb and pork. I tried it but the red sauce was just a bit much. My brown butter sage and parm sauce was much, much more my speed. We skipped dessert although I rarely turn down a tiramisu menu item but we had a remainder birthday cake and other goodies to have and I wanted to ensure I had some room to enjoy these. I really loved the set up of the place, it reminded me of an Italian dinner in Rome minus everyone speaking English ;) but the way the space openly flowed from one area to another really made me think of some special dinners I've had in Italy. I'd highly recommend this spot. People seem to really enjoy it as the entire place was quite busy until we departed for the evening. The dinner crowd seemed to slow by about 745p, not sure if it ramps up again later.

The food was good, service was perfect and the drive through campus was a surprise. Glad we tried this place! I would go back!

I wouldn't call it amazing, but we had a nice dinner. The entrées we ordered were pretty good. My 15-year-old son had the involtini di melanzane (eggplant rollups). He liked his dish very well. His only complaint was why both the eggplant and the spaghetti (that it comes with) had both red sauce. I agree with him. It would be more exciting. Besides, it would look better. I ordered the pappardelle con carne (pappardelle pasta with beef). The pasta was NOT overcooked, which is nice. I enjoyed the texture. The meat was very tender and generous in the amount. What disappointed me and set the tone for the rest of the meal was the prosciutto e melone. The melon was not ripe or sweet at all! If I owned a restaurant, I would not serve something like that. Even if it's on the menu, I would just tell the customer it's out and I would just apologize. CONCLUSION This is one of the best restaurants we have found so far in Eugene. The quality of the food is overall very good. Service is friendly. We will most likely come back when in Eugene. PRACTICAL ADVICE Parking: Free street parking. The restaurant is in a residential neighborhood. Check the sign before you park, but most blocks nearby are 2-hour free parking. Dress code: Yelp says "classy," but this restaurant is not by any stretch of the definition. If you go in with a t-shirt and shorts, you're totally fine. Portion sizes: Very generous. ************************************************************ If you found my review helpful, please smash the "useful" button!

The parking situation is ATROCIOUS. That's its own point. I walked in, was greeted by a busser who looked at me like I didn't belong in there. Then my waitress seemed annoyed and as if I was bothering her the entire time. Definitely doesn't make me wanna come back especially for as expensive and how cramped that place is. The tables are so close together I felt like I was sitting on a stranger lap. The food was delicious, I have no complaints there.

Sweet service and fabulous food. Italian wine list. Every time we go to Eugene we treat our self.

Great food; great service and very friendly vibes. i was visiting from out of state and walked in at peak hour on the new year holiday weekend. They quickly found me a nice spot. They recommended the ravioli which turned out to be terrific. the service was friendly and warm. there was a buzz in the restaurant and most of the patrons appeared to be from in and around the neighborhood, which is usually a marker for a great place. This was no different Big thank you!

My wife and I decided to go here for my birthday dinner. I saw a lot of positive reviews so we figured we'd give it a shot. The restaurant is nice and the server was friendly. The food however was not good at all. Very bland, and my lasagna was burned around the edges which is fine, but when I got 1/4 into the lasagna, it was cold. Again, being cold wasn't that big of an issue since I could just reheat it at home.. but the flavor... or lack there of... was disappointing.. when I say lacked flavor... there was no seasoning whatsoever.

What a great place! Amazing food, service and ambience. We had such a wonderful dinner. Authentic Italian

Food and service were top notch. Best meal in Eugene. Perfect date night place. Had the carbonara and it was superb! And don't even get me started on the chocolate dessert

WOW. My parents come here for special occasions and I understand why. It's always a go to place when I come home to visit and it's always full. I wish there parking lot was bigger so it was easier to manuveur. Our server on this last time was one of the best waitresses I have ever had and I wish I could remember her name. The food is full of flavor, I really don't think there is one thing on the menu that a person could go wrong with ordering. The portions are a large amount and overall great.

We had a terrific dinner, the pastas were really fresh and portion sizes were nice. Service was terrific. Waiter had been there a while, knew the cadence of the kitchen and set great expectations on a busy night. The one draw back to the meal was the beef short rib potion on the pasta was very fatty. Probably just an off serving. Definitely somewhere we will return when back to Eugene.

Great food. In the corner we were in acoustics made things loud. Came on a Sunday evening. The sage brown butter bishop hat homemade pasta was delicious.

Great food great service and nice atmosphere, home made pasta was superb. Will definitely be a come back

Delicious, fresh Italian food! Menu offers a nice variety. Their pasta is made in-house. Good value! 100% recommend dinner here.

Parents visiting their UO student meet up here for some Italian style food that is better than the Olive Garden back home. There's plenty of wine selections as well as a full bar. This is excellent for those parents wanting that little alcohol escape with each tuition payment that always seems to be higher with every passing term. Service is good and the restaurant is busy so come early or be ready to wait.
