Really disappointed. Only been there once and won't go back. The food was mediocre at best. The pizza wasn't bad but the meals everyone got didn't seem to have any taste. We were placed at a table of 8+. Long and they had 3 others. The waiters couldn't squeeze through the tables without hanging over everyone. I feel sorry for... More

The food was terrible and over priced. I'd much rather spend less and go to Olive Garden for much better food and service.

The quality of the food is simply amazing. They give you so much food, you really do need to go with a group. There is no way you can take down one of their meals by yourself. The meatballs alone are almost the size of baseballs.

We went to Buca di Beppo with a large crowd. Menu was not "friendly" to the pickier eater and one with food allergies. Expensive, tasteless and noisy! Never again.

Buca di Beppo has managed to capture the atmosphere of an authentic Italian family restaurant. Pictures on the wall and family style serving bring back enjoyable memories of Italy. The food is tasty and portions are large enough to enjoy left-overs the next day. The service at last night's visit, however, was a model for inefficiency. Italians tend to enjoy... More

Had a Christmas Party here, and we had a blast. The food was great, staff was friendly and very helpful. Bathrooms were so funny, you have to visit them even if you don't need to. You owe it to yourself to visit this place.

The hotel we stayed at, Best Western Louisville East, recommended our family go here to eat dinner. By far THE best Italian food we've had. Big family style portions with plenty for later. A very unique atmosphere with tons of art and decorations to look at. Our kids loved being able to walk through the kitchen to our table and... More

I love the decor and the food in this place. Definitely worth a visit! The food is really good, must be my favourite Italian here. Service is also very good, and you can even get a table by the kitchen, if you'd like.

This was our first visit to a Buca location and it was really good. We went for an early supper and were seated quickly. The path to your table leads through the kitchen where your greeted by the chefs and staff and there is a half moon booth in the kitchen that can be reserved for special occasions. As stated,...
