Buca di Beppo

The very first time going to this restaurant! When I arrived with my fiance, the hostess was not super friendly and when we clearly asked her for a booth, she called upon a male waiter to escort us to a table and we had tell the waiter that we asked the hostess for booth. Staff is semi-friendly, restaurant walls too cluttered with photos and the restaurant could use more lighting throughout. The food, on a scale of 1-10, we would give it a 2, for number of persons writing this review. The portions are larger than most other italian restaurants, but the prices are too high for the quality of food, period!! If you want italian, you would be better off going to the grocery store, buying a loaf of garlic bread, a box of spaghetti and a jar of Prego, "It's in there.," which would be a lot thicker than chopped up boiled tomatos and water seasoned with salt and pepper, and call it a night!! Save your hard earned money!! Save yourselves of severe disappointment!! We have learned a very valuable lesson today.

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!

not real italian. frozen is even better then this food. there pasta sauce is so so. meatballs are the worst i have ever had. this place is so nasty never again.

Buca's is an incredibly average restaurant. Service is very good. The ambiance is good. I like walking through the kitchen. The prices are ok. Kids love it and it is very good for family gatherings. However, the food here tends to be very mediocre. Not bad, just not great - "average". If you love simple pastas in fairly simple sauces with lotsa garlic, you will like Buca's. If you try one of their more complex dishes, you may not be satisfied.

I've been to Buca di Beppo many times and like the family style portions. Now that the location in Strongsville is open for lunch, they have single portions too which is great and makes it easy for two people with different tastes to order seperately. I recently found out that the dinner menu will now be available for single size portions. This was a great move on their part so no matter what size your party is, Buca is the place to go.

Buca is my favorite restaurant. The service is always great and many servers recognize my family when we come in. I think we qualify as "regulars". It's great to know that there is always a great place to eat with friendly service waiting for us at Buca di Beppo.

Buca di Beppo serves family style portions that are delicious! I always take home leftovers that still taste as good the next day. Everytime I have dinned there it has been a good experience. I love the Italian music and wacky and tacky pictures. It makes me feel like I'm in Little Italy. If you're looking for quality and quantity for a reasonable price, I suggest you check out buca!

I think Buca di Beppo in Stronsville has the best thin crust pizza around. Nothing compares to theirs. My favorites are the pizza con formaggio and the pepperoni pizza. Buca also has an awesome wine list and great calamari. Buca rocks!

My family and I recently dined at Buca di Beppo in Strongsville for the first time. We sat at their signature kitchen table. My kids loved eating in there, watching all the food come out, and wearing chef hats. It was my daughters birthday and they brought out a candelabra and the whole staff came to sing to her. She thought it was wonderful and couldn't have been happier. The food was also incredible. My children had several choices on the kids menu and my husband and I could order the Buca small for ourselves. We had plenty of food to take home, along with wonderful memories. I will be coming back for any and all special occassions we now have. I highly recommend Buca di Beppo in Strongsville for families of any size to have a great dinner with a side of fun!

I recently propsed to my girlfriend at Buca di Beppo in Strongsville. I informed the staff with the reservations that I made about my plans on asking her. They sat as at a very romantic booth. My girlfriend loved all the pictures on the walls and Christmas lights. They went along wonderfully with a bottle of Chianti and excellent food. I felt very comfortable proposing to her at a place that she enjoyed being at so much. After I proposed the staff came over and sang "Going to the Chapel". She absolutely loved it! Buca di Beppo helped make a wonderful memory for my future wife and I. We plan on coming back for our rehearsal dinner and anniversaries!

I found that Buca di Beppo is the best place for any occasion. I came here a while ago with 19 other family members and our visit there is still talked about at family gatherings. We had a blast, the service was great, by the end of the night we felt apart of the "Buca family", the staff knew our names before we left! After a visit with a large party I went there as a party of two. The service was more personal and the food was incredible as always. It's a great place to impress, I have never left unsatified.

Recently my family and I visited your restaurant for my Daughters 6th Birthday. We had a terrific experience. We were pleased to find out that you guys now have a kids menu. We informed the lovely hostesses that it was our Daughter's birthday. They made a chef hat for my Daughter. She was very excited to wear it. Our server also brought out candles and almost the whole staff sang Happy Birthday. It really made the difference in my daughter's special day.

Words are not enough to describe Buca di Beppo in Strongsville. They have the most amazing food and staff around. My husband and I are in the industry and actually own a small restaurant downtown. I only wish we could find the friendly and attentive staff that they have. On a recent trip to Buca, Stongsville, we entered and were greeted by a very friendly hostess, I believe her name was Erica. She was friendly and attentive and took us on a tour of their restaurant. We were amazed by the friendliness of the whole staff, and to take a tour through their kitchen was amazing. The cleaniest kitchen I have ever seem! Even the chefs took time to turn and give us a warm welcome. Once we were seated, our server arrived promtly and was very knowledgable and attentive. We have actually been to quite a few Buca's, a few in other states, but we acted as though we weren't. Our server, Sam, was so warm and friendly and was able to answer any question we asked. We ordered the fried calamri, MOUTH WATERING...them we ordered their home made ceasar salad. We were informed that they actually make their ceasar dressing from scratch fresh daily, it was out of this world. For dinner we ordered a small Chicken Parm, Green Beans and a side of spagetti. The amount of food was perfect for the two of us. And the dishes were all incrediable. As we dined, a manager approach the table, Tammy; to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves and if there was anything she could do for us. From the minute we walked in, until the minute we left, the entire staff made us feel like family and it was pretty amazing. I will HIGHLY recommened this establishment to all of my friends. I am actually going again this weekend because it was so amazing, and when your in the business, you want quality and good service. This concept has it all!!!

It is great to bring large parties, and the servers make it a breeze to order for such large parties. I recently had my rehearsal dinner there and had the best experience!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is gettting married, they made that night very memorable for my husband and I.

I recently went to the Strongsville Buca di Beppo with a large group of friends. They took us through the kitchen, which was very clean, and the staff was obviously proud of it. Everyone said hello to us, which made us feel very welcome. The family-style servings were perfect for us, and we got to try several dishes (chicken marsala, pizza margherita, fettuccine, etc.). Our server was able to suggest wonderful wine to go with our meal. We weren't rushed out at all, though the restaurant was very busy. I would definitely make reservations for the weekends. I'll be back!!

The food here is quite good, but I feel it is way over priced. They say that the Buca Large should feed 4 or more but for the price paid my...
