My hubby took me here for a birthday dinner, our first time and may I say I was pleasantly surprised. Nice selection of dishes, cocktails and reasonably priced wine list. Portions are large so donât overindulge in the bread basket before your entree(speaking from personal experience here) or youâll never finish it. Would be nice if downtown had more nice restaurants to choose from, we can live in hope

Here 1/8/18. Three people at the hostess stand. It would have been helpful to have one of them help open the heavy door. Instead, they watched me struggle.We were led to a dirty table. He hostess went to find someone to clean it.The ladies' room was filthy: there were paper towels and toilet paper all over the floor. There were no toilet seat covers in 2 of 3 stalls.Our server Mem was very nice and attentive. When we asked for a dessert menu, she handed us the computer on the table and showed us how to order for ourselves. The machine was filthy. I tried to use it with a napkin over my hand, but it wouldn't work. It would be helpful if sanitary handwipes were provided. The chicken picata didn't come with pasta! Shame on me for not asking.Needless to say, we won't be back.

Bucca is a family style restaurant with Italian standards. We were at this venue for a Birthday party, and had reservations which I recommend. Six of us went right in, and found it crowded and very, very noisy with many other parties and families jammed in with just a little room here and there. OK. Sort of expected this. We started with one bar drink, other drink items and some Fried Mac'N Cheese, basically balls of fried mac'n cheese. This was followed with Chicken Limone---one 3 ounce piece for each of us---Spaghetti with three meatballs---which we cut in half for about 3 ounces of meatball for each---and a side of Baby Portobello Mushroom Risotto-- this was interesting because our guests were gushing about it being risotto. What my wife and I noticed right away was the rice they used. It did not appear to be the traditional risotto rices of Carnaroli, Arborio, or Vialone Nano. We were guessing a less expensive long grain rice like basmati or jasmine, and the "baby portobello mushrooms"...well again...not sure....they looked more like button mushrooms but may have been cremini, just couldn't tell because of the sauce and parmesan sticking everything together. Well, OK. Being a bit picky about the description on the menu. We did have a giant oversize Colossal Brownie Sundae which is why many go there on special occasions. It did look nice and was tasty. Here is main opinion as I bring this plane in for a landing. Our guests were using a 20% off coupon. The birthday dessert was thrown in and included an obligatory Birthday song by staff nobody could understand. Someone was coming around doing photos of groups for sale so we will not include this in the discussion or bill. My wife and I split the bill 3 ways. My share for this soiree was over $80 dollars for basically spaghetti, a sliver of chicken, some rice, and a fried mac'n cheese ball. YIKES! Given the noise level, food quality, and such, I'm just not sure about Bucca again. But my friends chose it, and they liked it, so there you go.Thank you, Daniel M, for choosing to dine with us at Buca di Beppo.

Recently went with a large group of about 23 for a birthday celebration. We were able to use back room. Ordered from their lunch menu. Prices were very reasonable, good size food portions and my meal of Chicken Alfredo tasted great. It even came with a side salad. Staff friendly and got our orders correct. Would recommend this place for other c

Always a delicious lunch. Pastas are delicious, and al dente, so they stick to the teeth, slightly harder than typical mushy pasta, which is authentic.Salads delightful, with tangy house dressing. Round bread with warm tomato topping.Full bar, and tiny but clean bathrooms. Friendly servers who do all they can to make your lunch fantastic.

Been eating here for years. Owner is a New York Italian man. The thin crust Brooklyn pizza is as good as it gets west of New York. People here love it. Of course, you don't have to have it thin crust; others are available too. Good beer selection too.

We have been here a few times over the past couple of times. The table service and food have on every occasion been superb. This time round we were a little taken aback by the definitely frosty reception. On entering the restaurant 10 minutes early for a 6.30 reservation we saw three hostesses. After a short while one of them snapped âdo you have a reservationâ? The tone was not at all welcoming and not at all what we expected. We were promptly seated and the service provided at the table was absolutely excellent.We were close enough to the front of house to see that we were not the only people getting this reception. Perhaps some training would be an idea as, otherwise, the staff are outstanding and the evening was perfect.

The strip mall type location does not properly show off the level the dining experience at Spaggi's. The atmosphere is very nice and the presentation is great! The food is great although like most nicer restaurants the portions are a little on the small side! All in all a great dining experience!

From the sign at the road, to the counter, to the wobbly stools, this reminded me of restaurants when I was a kid. The servers were so friendly, the food was so good. I was by myself and sat at the counter. Many folks ordering take-out and you could tell that most of them had done this many times before. Great experience!
