Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant

Only went here because of their other location in Hollywood… Vegas over priced their meals and the food wasn’t that great. The portions were huge, but the quality of food wasn’t there. If you’ve been to Bucas elsewhere, don’t come here. It won’t meet your expectations. Won’t come back.

I eat here on every visit! The food is excellent ((evertime)) and consistent! Service 10! I never eat at the Brea or Claremont locations. The Vegas location is THE BEST! The ones in Cali are no Bueno!

Poor service and very mediocre meal. You get what you pay for here$ 13 chicken Parm was rubber and pasta over cooked with blaw sauce. It was hot though! Make sure you get Parmesan cheese to give it some flavor!!! Won’t recommend unless your desperate for Italian.
Service was slow and server was not attentive.

Greg, our server, was wonderful. He made our dinner so special. Veal, mozzarella Salad, and bread were delicious. You must try the Sicilian Punch at the bar for happy hour! Those were so good!!!

I tried the chicken parmesan with fettuccine and Caesar salad. Even though it was first thing in the morning the salad lettuce was already wilted. The chicken parmesan was decent. The fettucini was a little dry and flavorless. The reason I give this restaurant three stars because the customer service is outstanding.

This review is only for their catering services. I’ve been using them pretty frequently for special events. Their food is always on time. Their staff always setup the food in a very nice manner. All utensils, napkins, plates, etc are included in the pricing. And many people really rave about their baked zits which is always a staple in my catering orders. I will continue to utilize their catering services. Give these guys a shot if ur having a private event or need catering for your next work function. Quality food and service at a reasonable price.

Went to Vegas last weekend for my brother in law’s graduation. My in-​laws had planned a dinner for all of us at Bucca not knowing that I recently went on a paleo diet for health reasons. For those of you unfamiliar with paleo, it’s no wheat/​gluten, no dairy, no added sugars, all natural, etc… You can imagine the anxiety I had going to a full on Italian restaurant! We had a party of 20 and the dishes were already ordered ahead of time. I told our waiter my situation. I believe his name was Ian… I let him know that I could eat meat, fruit, vegetables but not to stress over it, I could pick and choose. He literally brought me my own salad (no cheese, dressing, or croutons), then made me my own plate of grilled chicken (which he told
Me they specially made for me without flour), grilled vegetables, and when they brought out desserts (which I admit I still had a couple of bites of regardless) he brought me a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit. This accommodating, flexible, friendly caring but staff deserves way more than 5 stars. I am so appreciative of their service!

This place isn’t my cup of tea at all I hate chain restaurants. But it’s been going on 6 days in Vegas & I’m tired and wanna stay @ the south end of the strip.
Our server was really nice & told us to avoid the $ 20 pitcher of margaritas and get the glasses they’re a better deal. Their drinks here are great. We got a hot appetizer (prosciutto stuffed mushrooms). and it was good too. Good food & 4 nice cocktails for $ 40 u can’t beat it. The service was incredible!

waiter dropped my wallet which was ON THE TABLE. Question: how do you drop someones wallet off the table. You would literally have to pick up my wallet and drop it.
Then she recklessly set it back on the table. She literally fucking puts my wallet on my plate of food with tomato sauce. My MK wallet was dipped into my plate filled with tomato sauce. What. The. Fuck. I told her what she did and just gave me a napkin from another dish that was on my table. What. The. Fuck.
This place deserves 0 stars if anything.

DO NOT order with Postmates. I don’t know if the food is good because after the 45 minutes or took them to make my food and 30 minutes from that point, my order still hadn’t been picked up. However, if you’re going to take advantage of new technology, you need to work with it. I expected to wait for my food, but the time estimate was 40 minutes… Not an hour and a half.

We come here every time we stay at Excalibur .
It’s perfect for the family without having to go to fast food restaurants. This trip we had our best Waiter yet. his name was Chris. He was nice to us and nice to my 7 year old son which is always appreciated. Food near me which it always is and great portions.

We ate here as part of a dinner party after a wedding. We sat in the Pope Room, which was perfect for this situation. It had a giant lazy Susan on the table so you didn’t have to pass around hot dishes to get food. Our waiter was attentive and nice and prompt. Very similar to other Buca restaurants I have eaten at, which is a good thing! Makes it predictable! It was a great place for families and large groups of people/​parties.

It is truly family style meal… very tasty… we had the Dan Reno and the chicken parmigiana… With cheese bread… oh my! Very delicious… it was happy hour… the peach Bellini and Italian margarita were exceptional. Great service at the bar.

They were very busy when we went and we sat at the bar to get a seat quicker. We ordered spaghetti with meatballs and chicken alfredo which we split them between the two of us. The bar tender was very efficient and helpful. He always keep us in drinks and he saw that we didn’t want to buy big giant meals so he gave us suggestions on how to get a good sampling without spending a bunch and throwing away ½ of the food. If I’m in the area, I’ll stop by again.

I truly find the interior design of this restaurant to be borderline appalling. I don’t know how you’re supposed to enjoy your dinner with multicolored lights constantly giving you a headache. Perhaps it’s enjoyable for some people (i.e. small children and people who are overly fond of ‘busy’ decoration), but I’m not one of them. The staff was rude and not really interested in giving you the time of day unless you were ordering copious amounts of alcohol. And the constant barrage of music rolling in from the casino downstairs was just adding insult to injury.
We didn’t try the food (so please don’t use this review as a basis for that), but we did stop in for one of the «giant brownie sundaes». I will give them credit for having one of the largest sundaes I’ve ever seen. This thing was so big, in fact, that the four people at our table couldn’t manage to finish it. The quality was so-​so. The «home-​made» brownie bites seemed more like something you’d get from a grocery store and the ice cream was okay, although I would have liked a better chocolate-​to-​vanilla ratio.
Price-​wise, it’s not bad. You could definitely spend a lot more money for better food, but if you’re on a budget and you don’t mind the gaudy atmosphere and poor service this place may still be a good option for you.

Stuffed chicken was very good. We had the fettuccini Alfredo & garlic mashed potatoes for our sides. The fettuccini was really, really, really thick, but had flavor and the noodles cooked right. The mashed potatoes were awful, $ 12 for a side that had absolutely no flavor. Bland doesn’t begin to describe the lack of the taste of the potatoes.
Also, the noise level was way up there. We could barely hear the waitress and it took nearly yelling to be heard.
Again, the main entrée was good but past that no way. We will not be back.

At the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue stands a colossal castle called the Excalibur. Inside the castle there is an Italian restaurant that serves portions of food fit for a king.
It was Christmas Day when I toured the Christmas decorated hotels and public areas of the Strip from Mandalay Bay to Fashion Show. As I was walking through the Excalibur, I spotted Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant. The red colors caught my eye. I decided to look at the menu. The hostess let fall that if you are dining alone that you can have the lunch special all day long. A few hours later, I would return to the Castle to enjoy food portions that would make me feel like a king.
This Buca di Beppo is one of several in a chain of Italian restaurants that are owned by Planet Hollywood. Currently there are around 95 of them. Buca di Beppo has risen to fame with their outrageous portions of delicious Italian food that are called a la carte or family style. These portions are meant to be shared. But what if you love Italian food and are on a solo dining adventure? Buca di Beppo serves individual size entrees that are the lunch special. In the case of the solo diner, the lunch special could be ordered at 5 pm or 9 pm.
Obviously a restaurant serving king sized portions of tasty Italian food is sure to attract a lot of diners. The upshot is there was a short wait. Time went fast while waiting on a bench overlooking the menazene level of the castle. Ironically Buca di Beppo means Joe’s basement in Italian. A few minutes later, they called my name.
Buca di Beppo does a nice job with the décor. Despite the fact that this is a chain„ it felt like I was dining in a family-​owned Italian restaurant.
I walked in here decided on ordering eggplant parmigiano with spaghetti (lunch price $ 12.99) and a Pepsi ($ 3.29). As expected the portion was humongous. Who needs a buffet with portions this big. The left side of the plate held eggplant parmigiano topped with marinara sauce, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese. The right side held spaghetti with marinara sauce. I exchanged over $ 17 with Buca di Beppo for a meal that was both quantity and quality. After finishing all this food, I walked out of the castle feeling like the king.

This fantastic little gem in this crazy town is perfect for couple’s, family and friends! A well picked staff adds its own personality to the experience of delectable tastes and delicious beverages paired to offer the most spectacular combinations! We loved having Dave as our Dinner Host and the management team was outstanding in coordination of our meal! A must visit when in Vegas for sure!!!

Not my favorite Italian restaurant.
It’s a very loud place and I felt was too busy for me to even pay attention to one thing. There was too much going on that day. There was wedding parties, big families, birthdays, and so on.
I was on a date and felt that it was way too loud and crazy for a nice «getting to know each other» type of date. So, I’d avoid this place if that’s what you’re going for.
The ambiance was everywhere. Reminded me of an Italian version of TGIF. Yanno, random things on the wall and every waiter and waitress running around everywhere. Also, singing the happy birthday song to every table.
As for the food… the waitress suggested we should order carefully as the food are all family style large portions. There’s 2 girls on a date with one another, we weren’t going to eat that much. I’m not a fan that they were all large portions though. I wanted to try other things on the menu, but I wasn’t going to order it if they’re all family portions. SO, we ordered the lasagna and some garlic bread.
It was a HUGE portion! There was a lot of garlic bread too! The food tasted a little bland for my liking. I felt the sauce wasn’t giving me anything. I had to put a lot of parmesan on it to taste anything. The garlic bread wasn’t too bad though. I liked it. At the end, we both didn’t even finish our food. We took it to go. All in all, the experience was only well worth it because the waitress was very kind and always checked on us. Food wise, eh. So-​so.

I knew better than to bring a small party to Buca di Gutbomb™, but was overruled and 3 of us had dinner here. With the massive «family style» portions these guys serve, 3 is just too small of a party, unless you order carefully (and I’m not sure that’s actually possible). We ordered a pepperoni pizza, which was a giant lake of grease and just wasn’t very good, a salad that would have fed 5 – 6 people and was marginal at best, and something else that was forgettable. Tab was huge, service was glacial, the entire experience lousy. Definitely won’t be back.

I was recently here for lunch with a Party of 6, and was very disappointed with the manager and waiter ! I ordered a sangria and had left muy passaport in the hotel safe (I’m 35 and look like 40) and I was asked for an id I showed him muy Intl drivers Lic. But he could not find my age, so he asked his mánager if he could allow me to purchase the drink but. Was denied! Thanks you guys Made my day!
P. S. the bread was cold!

comida estupenda, el mejor restaurante italiano de las vegas. todo fenomenal salvo una cosa, el aire acondicionado estaba a tope, parecía el polo norte!
