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.

Superior pizza. Pleasant servers. Friendly atmosphere suitable for couples or groups. Located in a small shopping center, the Joey's Red Devil Pizza attracts mostly locals. Beer & wine plus tasty salads. "Traveling the world one meal at a time..."

7. Pizza Barn
Reviewed By BolingbrookKaren
I just spent three days in San Dimas, CA and really had a craving for pizza. Being a born and bred Chicagoan, I have high standards when it comes to pizza. I wasn't expecting much when the front desk staff at my hotel recommended Pizza Barn. It's a little "hole in the wall" in a strip mall. Nothing to look at. Bunch of locals having a beer watching March Madness. Then......the girl who took our order was super friendly. the pizza options were plentiful. And....the pizza was fabulous! Definite competition for my local Chicago place.Go! You won't be disappointed!

We ate here wanting to watch the basketball game. There are televisions in the upper corners of the dining room- a little far to watch but adequate. The garlic puffs were amazing- soft and soaked in garlic and EVOO. The spaghetti and meatballs were very good and a huge potion. The boneless wings were also good - both the mild buffalo and the honey bbq. So much food we didnât have room for dessert though the desserts were tempting. The servers were very pleasant and attentive.

Pizza 'n Stuff has delivered reliable red sauce Italian food for many years. Their pizzas are fine, and their pasta is delicious, but what I really enjoy is the house salad that has a mountain of mozzarella cheese on it that tastes soooo good! After your meal, try the spumoni ice cream. It's da bomb.

Large portions and kind of pricey. I got the pesto tortellini and was disappointed that it wasn't served aldente.... kinda mushy for my taste. The large salad was ok and the side ceasre salad was good. Michael the waitress was young, (couldn't serve a beer), but was pleasant and checked in on us often. Perfect day to sit outside. Will just know to get something other than pasta if we return.

We stopped in because we were hungry and all the other eateries were crowded this evening. The busy staff was corteous and offered us prompt and professional service. We each had a different pasta and each of us agreed our dishes were ok. The fried calamari was crisp but lacked flavor. It was so thinly sliced that all we tasted was the breading. All in all, it was a nice time.

Been eating at Warehouse Pizza for 20+ years and aside from the beer selection and video games, nothing has changed. All food I've had here is very good even the sandwiches and pasta, but you SHOULD be ordering their pizza. Good quality ingredients, their dough gets cooked perfectly but not too thick. Good selection of craft beers, ample indoor and outdoor seating and a ton of locals. And yes, have a salad with their famous ranch dressing. Be Prepared to pay cash, they have an ATM inside.
