Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant

We had a great time at Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant. The atmosphere is casual with great Italian pictures and memorabilia all over. The food was very good, my pasta bolognese was great. Our sever was very friendly and the Italian Creme Cake for dessert was really over the top. Definitely would return.

I went for luch with a co-worker last Tuesday, they had a 10 minute wait, which wasn't bad, however, it took over 30 minutes for our food to be ready after we sat down. There was a large party of around 10 ppl and only one waiter, so thag wasn't a good first experience, we were starving when the food arrived, it was definitely not our writer's fault, the poor guy was sweating, if I remember correctly he's name was Julio, so kudos to him for handling that by himself. The food was really good, which made up for the long wait time and the decor was really nice, I would 100% skip the cannolis.

Great restaurant with a very unique Italian atmosphere. Where else can you dine on a table with the pope's head in the middle of the table? Huge portion sizes of a variety of entrees. Such a friendly and helpful staff. Looking forward to visit again real soon!

We came here to celebrate my stepson’s birthday and, unfortunately, the service really ruined the experience. We were seated quickly, but after that our server, Christina, was almost completely absent. We were never offered bread and had to ask for it, our water glasses stayed empty with no refills, and we were never asked if we wanted another drink or more wine. When ordering we were told that the first dish was not available and after selecting another option that dish was not available either. If certain dishes are no longer available on the menu we should have been notified by the hostess or server before even sitting down or have been marked off the menu. The food we finally ordered was (stuffed manicotti) and it was decent, we asked to add chicken to the manicotti and all they did was add a few pieces of chicken. The lack of attention was frustrating. When we asked about dessert, the server Christina wouldn’t bring a menu and instead rushed through a long list verbally, which made it impossible to choose. Eventually, we gave up on dessert altogether. Dirty plates were left on the table, and we had to wave her down just to ask for the check, which also took forever to arrive. Never even saw a manager around. We felt especially bad since this was a birthday celebration and couldn’t even have Happy Birthday sang to him. We ended up going next door to ALMA ARGENTINA Restaurant, where the service, cappuccino, and dessert were excellent/exceptional and highly recommend them. We’ve had better experiences here before, but this visit was very disappointing due to the service by Christina and the overall experience.

Excellent service from Michael. We were seated immediately near large groups celebrating birthdays. It was very entertaining to see happy families having fun. A bit loud but a fun environment. The service was excellent from Michael and in spite of having large parties, he was very attentive. The food was delicious, hot and well seasoned. A lot spicier than we expected, which we really loved. It's hard to find spicy Italian food in Orlando. Parking was a bit difficult on Saturday night, but plenty of accessible parking. Fun atmosphere and we enjoyed our meal. They even provided a 10% military discount. We will be back again.

First of all, service was amazing. Audrey and her trainee were top notch. Great suggestions, personable, quick witted and expertly professional. Atmosphere was awesome and made us feel authentic Italian restaurant vibes. Food was fresh, tasty, hot and flavorful. Big portion will feed 4 easily. Adults. Fresh bread was great.

Came with my family to celebrate my birthday and enjoy a different kind of meal. Our server went above and beyond; suggesting food options, giving us good service and always checking up how we were doing. Thank you thank you thank you Audrey. You made our night amazing!

We were looking for great pizza/Italian food and found it. We first called, spoke to Jasmine, she was very helpful and answered all of our questions. There was a slight wait so we headed to the bar to get some drinks. Stephan was amazing! Went above and beyond to help me find the perfect wine. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server (I think Jessica) was also great. Portions are humongous, strongly recommend sharing. My favorite part was the decor, you feel as if you’ve been transported to a different place while Sinatra plays in the background. Truly a pleasant experience.

Great ambiance and our server, Desi, was super sweet! A great way for our family to celebrate being together for my birthday and Christmas time:)

Meghan provided great tips about the food and how the dining happens. It is family style and the food is great Happy hour prices are worth exploring. We love the Bruschetta! Meghan made the dining experience very enjoyable!

I honestly can't remember the last time I ate at Buca di Beppo, but I'm happy to say the food is still just as good as I remembered. We came here with a group of about 11 people during Disney Marathon Weekend, so we needed a solid carb-loading dinner. Our server was very pleasant and helped us pick a nice variety of dishes so we weren't limited to just spaghetti and meatballs. We arrived around 5 p.m., which turned out to be perfect. Service was quick, and we didn't have to wait long for our food, which was a big plus since we had to be up at 3 a.m. for race day. My favorites were the chicken Alfredo. It was creamy and loaded with chicken. The chicken stuffed with prosciutto was also delicious and definitely worth ordering. We left full, happy, and ready for our races the next day. Great spot for groups, especially if you're fueling up for an early morning!

This is your standard Buca di Beppo; family-style portions and consistent recipes! We came in at a bit of an odd time - so there really was only two other tables occupied. The hostess initially but us at a very small two-top (there were only two of us!), but our waitress quickly moved us to a four-top, since the dishes themselves are so large and take up space. We kept it simple with one meatball, spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread and a Caesar salad. Overall, just a dependable experience!

I really miss the Buca in Pittsburgh. This location in Orlando is really nice. The atmosphere wasn't as electric as I remember Pittsburgh to be and a lot better than the one in Atlantic City which I think has also closed. Our server Amanda was wonderful, friendly and a great server with customer, come first attitude. The food was a long wait but worth it !! I love the chicken carbonara !! My favorite. The fried calamari was good. The chicken Parm was the first to go, everyone loved it. I do t like sausage in my lasagna, it some do. Highly recommend this location and when back in Orlando definitely a dinner stop !!!

They ran out of food, half of the menu they didn't even have. We had a reservation for Christmas Eve for over a month in the books and some of their main most popular items we were looking forward to purchasing weren't event available. The service was good, but very disappointed at the lack of preparation.

Unfortunately, this visit wasn't the best experience. The service was off our server didn't come to the table until about 15-20 minutes after we were seated, which set the tone for the evening. The ambiance was fine overall, but the bathroom was missing toilet paper, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this size and reputation. As for the food, the pasta didn't look very appetizing, so we didn't even feel inspired to take a picture which says a lot. The one redeeming part of the visit was the birthday dessert, which was actually very good and ended the night on a sweeter note.

We came to celebrate my son's birthday, but the service completely ruined our celebration. While the ambiance was okay, our server was mostly absent from our table while being attentive to the two other tables she was serving. This should not happen. Our water and sodas were never refilled we had to ask for bread, and we were never offered another drink or vine. When ordering, we were told that the first dish we chose was not available, and after selecting another option, that dish was also not available. If items are no longer served, they should be removed from the menu.. We decided to skipped the dessert, asking for the check was challenging too, terrible. We went next door to Argentinian Restaurant to finish celebrating my son's birthday, where the service and desserts were excellent.

We love Buca. We usually go to one at Florida Mall but treated ourselves to the Celebration location. Right across from my office at Disney. Meghan was our server and was awesome. Her service and smile made the difference and she made sure we always had enough bread and drinks. Food was amazing. We has our usual, Baked Rigatoni. It to die for and we always leave full with leftovers!

This restaurant is located in Celebration. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in, it looked a bit dim at first but I had read that it was an Italian restaurant. The ambiance definitely gives off old-school Italian vibes. The walls are covered with photos of popes and nuns in playful, even wild poses, which was quite unexpected! There's even a large dining room with a table featuring a giant pope face in the center, I found that very unusual but interesting. Once seated, we ordered a Cabernet on wine while we looked over the menu. They offer a large selection of dishes and drinks. We started with the cheese bread, which came out warm and delicious. When we asked about the entrées, our server mentioned that the portions were huge and they weren't kidding! Wow We were a party of two and ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and the Stuffed Chicken. Both were flavorful, rich, and satisfying. The portions were so big that we had enough leftovers for another two meals at home. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant for big groups or families, the food is tasty, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is definitely memorable. I'll definitely be coming back!

Buca di Beppo is situated within a plaza close to Advent Health Celebration Hospital. This Italian restaurant doesn't joke around when it comes to serving portions. I felt like I was in Texas. They serve family style sized portions where it usually serves 6 to 8 people. The service was great making sure my girlfriend and I had our wine glasses filled. The restaurant is pricey but for the amount they serve you, it began to make sense. We had to take food home. Definitely save your appetite and lash out at dinner with your family here for fine Italian dining.

Have not been to this chain in quite some time as they have closed the location that was near me, but stopped in to the one in (Celebration) Orlando, Florida. I must say that the food was not as good as it use to be. Minestrone soup came out looking like a tomato stew and it was cold. Portion size was still good amount of food. Ambiance was still the same which is similar to being in an Italian home on a Sunday. As restaurant chains go, it still delivers a decent value but management needs to be on top of the product coming out of the kitchen especially in this area where there are literally hundreds of choices available. Shame, because I had fond memories of dining at this chain on multiple occasions when the food quality and service were always top notch.

We came here for a birthday celebration and we were not disappointed. You order family style servings and the dishes are placed in the center of the table with large serving spoons and shared. We didn't order dessert because we were all so full, but they came out with candles and sang happy birthday to our son which was very nice. We were seated right away and had a waitress come to our table to take our drink orders and to explain the menu to us. They brought bread to our table to enjoy before our meal came. If you want garlic bread that would be an order. Every thing is purchased as a family order even salad and dessert so that will not come as a part of your meal unless you order it. The ambience is very interesting. It had many pictures on the wall of people and of Italy. It feels like you are in a home. Very welcoming and cozy. Perfect for couples, friends or family. It wasn't loud and that made it easy for conversation. Parking was easy. They take reservations so that makes it convenient to guarantee our time especially being near Disney.

The food is very good! The decor on the inside and the Italian music is spot on! If you sign up for their email list, they send tons of coupons, and if you use the coupons, the price is great, especially for Italian food. The parking lot is clean and easy to navigate too. The surrounding area is nice. The service was just so-so though, and it is a little expensive without a coupon. The family style ordering could be a little complicated if everyone likes different things. They do have lunch offering though where you can just order individual plates. Overall, it's a good Italian place with a unique vibe and good food.

It's definitely a different take on family-style dining. The place is decorated in a very over the top sort of way with lots to look at. We enjoyed the overall ambiance. We ate an early dinner so it wasn't too busy at all. The way the menu works is each item you order serves 3 people so hopefully everyone in your group can agree what to share. It worked out for us as our party was 3 people. We thought the portions were on the smaller side but still enjoyed our salad, pizza and salmon. We polished off the meal and were not full so we had some dessert. It's probably a good, healthy portion size but not if you're hungry!! The server was friendly and helpful.

Best Italian food I've had in a while! The limone chicken was full of lemony buttery goodness sauce and the mozzarella garlic bread was baguette bread packed with real garlic chumchs and toooed with cheese. My favorite part was the bread dipped in the lemon garlic sauce. The cannoli was so perfectly crunchy and stuffed with sweet ricotta filling and a hot chocolate sauce underneath, pure indulgence. The service was fast and awesome great server Barry he was attentive and funny. I'd come back here time and Time again.

Called the restaurant and placed a pick up an hour before arrival and even left my information because I was never asked for my information when I called. When I arrived my order wasn't made so I had to 25 minutes and I was told 15 minutes. Food didn't taste fresh

Our server was sweet and helpful. She guided us to the Pappardelle Bolognese, which didn't miss! Pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente. The sauce was hearty and savory. Enjoy it with a glass of wine! Cloth napkins would have been a nice touch. Ambiance was very nice, with fun Italian music and memorabilia on the walls.

Go and lasagna for to go, took us 30 minutes to pick up and arrive home, still really hot, didn't even need to put on oven! Nice cost X benefit and if you sign up their website they usually send a CUPOM! For the price it's a good deal! Atmosphere it's good if you want to dine in

Buca was awesome today. 1st time at celebration location. Was here with a group for a birthday dinner. Like other Bucas the restaurant is an interesting place to dine. The food was awesome. I had calamari, lasagna, chicken parmigiana among other things. Very friendly staff. Amanda provided above average service. Great overall experience. The wooden chairs were not the most comfortable but that was minor. I would gladly come back to this location. 5 star dining experience.

People were very nice but the food was not good. Both the eggplant and pizza we ordered were burned and could not be eaten. The eggplant could not be cut with steak knife. They did replace it with another dish which we took home ,Which wasn't very good. But the manager who only charged us for the salad and pizza which was a nice gesture on her part . if the food was as good as the place looked and the staff performed, it would've been a nice experience. We won't be going back.

A fun spot to come if you're looking for an affordable meal for a large group. The interior is covered with colorful decor, lights, etc. Since I had a smaller party, I sat at a high top in the bar area. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. We started with the bruschetta which came with thin sliced crispy garlic bread. The tomatoes tasted very fresh and overall the mix had great flavor. It also was delivered in a fun presentation. The chicken parm however fell flat. There was barely any sauce or cheese on top. While the cutlet was cooked nicely, the whole was just too dry. It's important to note that every dish is al la carte so you have to order pasta on the side of any entree which was not appealing to me but the servers are upfront about it when you sit down.

The lasagna was delicious. We had a great server. He was very attentive and personal. Loved the atmosphere. Best meal we had while in the Orlando area. We are looking forward to coming back.

I like the ambiance and our server was super nice and explained the big portions. We got fettuccini Alfredo which wasn't anything crazy. I did feel like it was lacking flavor, if we were to eat here again it would be something different like the vodka sauce or carbonara. The fried mozzarella was okay, pretty good but I kinda liked the fresh bread more.

A very authentic and unique place to have dinner at, in the area. Their garlic bread is amazing. Meghan accommodated our request to change tables and fit our family.

I want to give this a better star rating, however, service is extremely slow. S....l...o....w. slow. The food was good but took a long time to get to our table. It was unacceptable at noon with only 3 other tables occupied that we were here 2 hours. We ordered two lunch portions of spaghetti and meatball and the chicken rigatoni. Won't be back.

Buca is a themed old school Italian American restaurant throwing you back to the 40's, 50's. The food and service was good. The only hiccup is the dining room had an strong funky smell that we never became nose blind to. More than likelyvthe culprit is the dirty carpet.

We came to Buca di Beppo for a friend's birthday last month as a group of 10 at the Pope's Table. Food was good, no complaints there, but the service took away from any of the positives of our experience. Our server, Tina, was clearly very irritated from the beginning when we told her we preferred separate checks. She huffed and puffed. Later on, she apologized for her irritation blaming it on " her hernia belt." Definitely a piece of information we did not need before we ate. She forgot drinks and did not come around to refill water. The room we were in did not seem busy, I am confused as to why she was assigned a table for parties if she can't handle large groups of people. After asking us several times before printing out the checks who had which item, the checks were delivered. Many of them had duplicate items so she had to fix them. She was very unhappy about that and initially told us she would be unable to fix anything once it's separated. I'm not even sure if she said goodbye to us in the end. It pains me to write this review because most of us at the table are also servers with many years in the industry. It just seems like the Pope Table is not a good fit for this specific server.

We had lasagne and meat ball sandwich for lunch. They were both hot and fresh. Taste was pretty good. Bread is fresh and hot, with olive oil and vinegar dip. Cappuccino was good. Ambiance is great, server was excellent. Not busy at 3 pm. Highly recommended.

I took my mom and stepdad here (I live next door) and I was like why don't I come here more often?! The servers were amazing. It was a little dead which I didn't understand why, the ambiance is so cool I love the decor inside buck di beppo! The food is sooooo good, the only thing I recommend is go with more than just 1 other person. Everything is mostly family style. So everything is huge portions. But the food really is amazing. Sometimes with some dishes you have to actually ask for a side of pasta because some dishes don't come with it like the chicken picatta for instance I believe. Great spot though!

Wasn't Beppo one of the lesser Marx brothers? I digress... while it won't make you forget your gold-tooth granny Bucca di Beppo is pretty solid corporate Italian especially given Orlando's reputation as a chain graveyard. Spaghetti and some halfway decent meatballs is basic though, tasty fare. Everything else comes buried in sauce and defies an accurate ID. No matter, for a pitstop that won't leave you broke or hungry, Beppo gives Zeppo, Chico and Gummo a run for their money. Four solid stars.

Food was great our server Christina was even better. She was polite, professional, personable and efficient. We will return.

We ordered meatballs and chicken carbonara, and it was yummy. Price is also really good considering that portions are huge. Our server Rachel was very pleasant and made experience even better!

I don't want to offend anyone, but it's not difficult to cook delicious pasta. But for some reason the cook here doesn't know how to cook pasta.

Stopped in for a cocktail in the middle of the day. The bartender was friendly and very helpful with suggestions, and she made awesome drinks. We had eaten before we ended up here, but the food looked and smelled amazing, so we ended up ordering food. I got a ceaser salad, lasagna, and chocolate cake. My friend ordered ceaser salad and eggplant parm. It took us 2 days to finish all the food but it reheated well. The cake was amazing.

Dinner was delicious! Kameron was a great sever, highly recommend the stuffed shells.

Totally sucked, the price was ridiculous. I have had better food at Olive Garden, would not ever go there.

Here is my honest review.... The best part of this restaurant was being served by our Barry, he was extremely helpful, attentive and polite. Best server I've had in a long time. On the other hand, I have very little to say regarding this location manager, I believe her name is Carry, would t know because she didn't have q name tag.... We were 12 people at first, when we came in we were told 30-45 minutes, we ended up waiting an hour and 15 minutes, I kept on chasing her or the hostess, they were never at the front, and I was always told a different time for our table, the restaurant was not full, there were tables available and she still refused to sit us, stating that they had two big parties and they couldn't sit us until the parties left, which we were never told when we put our name down for the waiting list. Not once did they acknowledge us or give us a heads up, I had to keep on asking and asking and they seemed to be annoyed by me asking. 3 of our party left and we ended up being only 9, never did they apologize for the wait or did they do anything to make us feel like they wanted our business. Again, Barry was the only one acknowledging our value. I thought the manager was new because of her lack of professionalism, to my surprise she was not...

Haven't been to a Buca do Beppo in over 20 years! Service was still awesome and food was amazing! Jeremiah was our server and he was extremely attentive and helpful with our ordering and suggestions of entrees! Definitely a great dining experience!!!! Thank you Jeremiah!!!!!

Delicious. Too bad there aren't any locations near me in the northeast anymore. So good! Went here again on our annual Disney trip.

Ordered the garlic cheesy bread, spaghetti with meatballs, baked rigatoni with mild Italian sausage. If you have never been to Buca, be prepared for family size portions, like really huge. We will have enough food for at least another 2 meals for all three of us. Even the garlic bread with mozzarella cheese was a family portion and for once no one wanted to ask for more bread. The pasta (spaghetti and the rigatoni) was perfectly cooked and the gigantic meatballs were well seasoned and firm. We subbed mild (instead of spicy) sausage in the rigatoni and there was sufficient amount of meat. The ambiance was cozy and our waiter (Steve) was phenomenal. We will definitely return to this Buca. Completely forgot to take pics! Next visit! Buca, as with all restaurants, has gotten expensive. Even with a $20 discount coupon, we spent $86 for 2 entrees and an appetizer. If not for this and the wait to be seated (rooms in the restaurant were empty and the young lady seating us literally ran around the restaurant several times trying to accommodate the family ahead of us and never noticed I was on a cane with an orthopedic boot protecting my broken toe. When I brought it to her attention, she finally noticed, apologized, and immediately seated us) I would have given them 5 stars.

Love this place ! Food is always good and service as well. Our server was Audrey and very kind and attentive. Will definitely be back again . It's a little loud at times but good vibes.

A couple years ago I actually visited the Florida mall location and then soon realized they had a new spot located next to maple street biscuit that was just a bit closer to my side of town! So my family and I decided to check out this location and like previously it was great! Parking was easy since they had multiple spots available within the area. This is actually located within a plaza with a couple other franchises such as Pei Wei and maple street biscuit. It's a little hidden, but really nice spot ! Service was quick and efficient. Biggest thing is we actually had a reservation so as soon as we checked in we were sat down immediately. Our waiter was very friendly and gave us tips and recommendations as far as portions sizes, meals, etc. This is a more family style restaurant with catering of 2-5 people depending on the sizes you order. We decided to order the Fettuccini Alfredo , Chicken Limone, Fried Mozzarella, and the Spaghetti and meatballs. My favorite definitely was the combination of the chicken Limone and Fettuccini. Great flavor with chicken cooked to the perfect temperature and tenderness to pair with the Alfredo and it was not too thick, but just right to go together. Overall prices were anywhere from the $24-40 range depending on what you order and how much. Very enjoyable night and love the design on the inside. Great ideas, people, and pictures. Plan to try more restaurants in this area, but glad to check this one off my list !

Bar service, figured I'd kill time at the bar while waiting for a nailjob to finish. Wednesday afternoon, empty looking dinning area and bar. Meghan was the hostess and my bartender. Pleasant conversation and decided on a to go order once my friend came back from the salon. eggplant parm came with a side fettuccine, added a cesar salad. Great flavored sauce, tough Eggplant skin, generous portion though. Bread would have been nice if included.

I wanted to love this place.... It is cute and I was craving a good spaghetti bolognese. The place was very quiet during the winter holidays which was a bit surprising. The food was quite average as was the service. We won't be coming back.

Tina was our server and was great with her energy, food suggestions and service. The food was great and the dining experience was awesome. Rockstar Volleyball team from South Bay, Ca will be back.

Amanda was amazing. Food was the best!!! It was our last night of vacation and our best meal!! Amanda was the sweetest, most attentive, and helpful waitress we have ever had.

I have been ordering from bucas in celebration for four years now almost five for my daughter Angelina Anderson who was killed on Christmas eve morning by drunk driver forever 18#. Im sorry to say I received many complaints from the guest about the chicken marsala, linguine being undercooked and other foods cold. First I want to say the young lady bringing out the food was amazing. She was so apologetic and we told her "IT'S NOT HER, IT'S THE KITCHEN" whoever was the chef on July 19th 2025 shouldn't have been in charge of the kitchen. I explained to the young lady I don't eat red sauce and I was waiting on marsala and when I got it it was very sweet and dry. DISCUSTING IT WAS, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. So he made me one dish with six little pieces of chicken lemon and it was very good. The guest wanted to have some since the marsala was a BIG FAIL THIS YEAR. I order from here since 12.30.21 and never had problem until now. Last year we ordered to go plates and they packed up scraps from the tables and gave them to me. When I got home and saw that I was not happy let's say. So yes I complained, that was dirty and gross and I PAID for to go dishes. Then the 19th the chef messed up and gave us cold, undercooked food and dry sweet chicken marsala, I always order it that's all I eat beside the fettuccine. No red sauce for me. So then the person gets angry at my cousin for the complaint. Do you THINK WE WOULD JUST EAT THAT AND NOT COMPLAIN? I NEVER COMPLAIN BUT WHEN THINGS AREN'T RIGHT I ADDRESS THEM. SO THE NERVE TO SAY " YOU PEOPLE" MADE TWO COMPLAINTS, YES WE DID. AND IT WAS OUR RIGHT TO LET THEM KNOW IT WASNT GOOD. WE PAY GOOD MONEY AND ORDER 800 AND UP BETWEEN TO GO AND SIT DOWN AND DINE. WE GO FROM 24 PEOPLE TO 60, SO YES WE WANT GOOD FOOD WE PAY FOR. ANGELINA ANDERSON KILLED ON CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING BY DRUNK DRIVER FOREVER 18#. Thank you

We went to the one in Orlando Florida. The food was awesome. Our family gathering as a result was great. They service was excellent. They were so attentive & caring to all our needs & we had kids. Italian themed had tons of charm. It was decorated so happy. What an awesome place that go. So family friendly. Treated all our 4 kids so special too. Surprised I had never heard of them.
