My boyfriend and I stopped here after looking for a place to eat on the way to our hotel, we were absolutely impressed. We had the limoncello martini with basil and a captain morgan and coke for drinks, both were delicious! Starters were the fresh and crispy calamari and caprese, also amazing. For our main entree we had Shrimp scampi, the shrimp was cooked to perfection and the sauce and pasta were heavenly. To finish off we had the tiramisu which was GIGANTIC but phenomenal. Our waitress was Amanda and I felt like I had known her and the rest of the staff my whole life with how friendly and conversational they all were. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic. Incredibly fast and wonderful, friendly service. If I didn't live so far away I would come back constantly! read more

There was a time when once a week, the fam and friends would stuff our faces with food and smiles at Buca's. The kids are grown and friends are often busy, but Buca is just as delicious as ever. There is only one place for marvelous chicken Marsala, ask my wife, from San Diego to San Francisco, she knows. Brea's leather seats felt like a comfortable old sofa, and the photos still brought a chuckle. We appreciate the warm hospitality ALDO gave us, and the good drinks. Thank you Buca and Aldo, nothing like old memories with a big slice of Tiramisu. I just wish to respond to Paul H's review briefly. Yes prices have gone up. Whereas competitors like Macaroni Grill have gone out of business, Alas, ( also great Chx Marsala ). Anybody can slap a pizza together cheaply for $10. I Mean what is Italian about Pizza Hut? The restaurant business is tough. I gladly paid for two small plates over a large. It cost more, but even the small plates sent us home with leftovers. ( PS, I'm a New Yorker, Manhattanite, don't get me started on pizza.lol) read more

Great food and hospitality! Shout out to Amanda for her great service. We would go here again

Amazing and holy experience dinner at the pope reserved table! Great service and birthday singer Vett!

Re-visted Buca di Beppo this past weekend for a birthday lunch and I was surprised to see the restaurant pretty empty during lunch hours. Our party of 10 (7 adults, 3 toddlers) had reservations but it didn't seem like that was necessary. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately in the room with the lazy Susan and Pope on the table. A nice little private space for larger parties. Nico (the man) was an excellent server throughout our stay and provided comedic entertainment, too! We were checked up upon frequently and received attentive service. To start, warm loafs of bread were dropped off with a balsamic & oil mix to dip. To share, we ordered a large apple gorgonzola salad ($43), Buca trio platter ($39), large pepperoni pizza ($43), small spicy chicken rigatoni ($38), and a large frutti di mare ($58). Nico warned us this would be a lot of food considering the size of our party which I'm glad he mentioned as we switched one of our pasta's to a smaller size. There were definitely leftovers at the end for another meal. Of the bunch, I enjoyed the spicy chicken rigatoni the most but wish there were more pieces of chicken throughout the pasta - it does have a nice kick that may be too spicy for the little ones. My second favorite was the apple gorgonzola salad - the spiced walnuts were a great addition and really tied everything together. Not a fan of the trio platter as the shrimp was excessively spicy and the other items were just okay - nothing special for the high price tag. Since we were celebrating two birthdays, Nico dropped off a HUGE portion of brownie chunks and vanilla+chocolate combo ice cream topped with whip cream and rainbow sprinkles. To my surprise, the brownies were nice and soft with a good chew and had chocolate chips sprinkled in for extra chocolatey goodness. A great treat to end the meal. read more

I wish I took a picture of the food! Complimentary bread is so good. The pasta and pizza is absolutely amazing. Portions are huge! Two entrees and a pizza was more than enough for 4 people with enough to take home as leftovers! The restaurant feels homey and plenty of decor that is fun to look at! Our server Amanda was great! Super attentive and helpful when ordering off the menu. She was awesome, thank you! read more

Love hate here. Rolled in on a Friday or Saturday night more than an hour of closing. Was told it was a 10 min wait because they had one server. So we switched it to go. A large chicken parm and large penne vodka was $120. It's still decent food but man it was expensive. It came out quick. The service and pricing were a bit disappointing. I get they are going through bankruptcy and trying to claw back, but the experience could have been better. Bonus half star for being part of the inKind program. read more

We celebrated my grandson's birthday here. Foodand and place are awesome. The bets service we had with Janet. read more

Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant - Ceiling on our private room. - Italian Near Me - Brea, California

Amazing food as always! I'm glad they brought my favorite pasta back, the Linguini Frutti Di Maré. They took it out of the menu since COVID, according to our awesome waiter, Amanda! She made our experience feel like home. Ambiance was great too, the Buca di beppo atmosphere. A little pricey now, but inflation I guess lol. Calamari tastes great & used to be way more generous but now I don't think it's worth $30 for the small portion. It could be bigger. Pasta was enough for 2 hungry adults. We'll be back soon, but probably will skip the calamari. read more

Finally we have tried Buca Di Beppo in Brea since we often visit this plaza but never dine here. I am glad that I visited Buca which left me a very pleasant experience. We walked in Buca without the reservation and waited about 40mins and got our table. I really enjoyed seeing so many vintage photos hung on the wall which breifly made me getaway from the reality. I was suprised the food here was delicious and in big portion. Buca Trio Platter ($39) was great, I love the Spicy Shrimp and Fried Mosszrella, they were just so delicious. Prosciutoo Stuffed Chicken ($38) was amazing, one of favor here now. It has so many layers of tastes. Lasagna ($38) was delicious and huge portion, I felt I was like Garfield when I was eating that, haha. Mixed Green Salad ($24) was refreshing. Minestroni Soup ($5.99) was a little bit cold for me. Tiramisu ($18.99) was a little bit sweet for me. The service was good, our waitress was very nice. I saw so many guests coming here to celebrate the birthday, I think they can get a complimentary gaint ice-cream here which is absolutely great. Too bad my birthday passed 2 weeks ago, I will definitely try that birthday ice-cream next year. read more
