    This was my first time at Buca di Beppo and here are my thoughts.... It's Mother's Day and it was busy! Thank god for my reservation. A big shout out to the hostess, Layla, she was so nice and was able to get my mother and I to our seats 5 minutes before our reservation time. To me that's a big deal. It's an adorable restaurant, with a lot of personality. Our waiter was Charles. At first, I didn't know where our service with Charles was going to lead to. It felt rushed, BUT I had to take a step back and come to realize that it's Mother's Day and it's Busy. What I appreciated from Charles was transparency on the wait time, how apologetic he was and was attentive by checking in on us. He made great recommendations and we ordered them. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, the Prosciutto stuffed chicken, and the Italian broccoli Romano. They were delicious. Charles was great and they way he handled the crowed was stellar! Lastly, shout out to the chef and cooks for a delicious meal. Way to go! Thank you Buca and Charles for making my Mom feel special on Mothers Day!

    Family dinner with my brother-in-law was a great time at buca! Our server had the best energy. She was so patient with our large party. We had so much pasta! Bathrooms were very clean.

    The thing I love about Buca is that it's always consistent. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere. It's a great spot for larger parties. The portions are huge. I always walk out with leftovers. Some of my favorites are their Chicken Carbonara and Penne Alla Vodka.

    A pretty good spot for a large social gathering. I came here with family for a wedding dinner celebration. When I first walked in, I was expecting a place a little bit fancier, but to my surprise it was more casual. The smell was very overbearing, it smelled of sweat and cheese, and I understand it could be because of the cheese they use for their dishes. However, it was too much for me. This place is fairly big! It's kind of a maze to get around, but they do have a lot of seating. I actually really enjoyed the food! The salads and garlic bread were my absolute fave! It's tough to come across a good salad. We had family style pastas: spaghetti, alfredo, and I can't remember the other, but my tummy left happy! I enjoyed my time here, just not a place I would go out of my way for a meal. Service was good!

    Buca di Beppo is one of those Italian spots that everyone has seemingly been to. But despite the many locations throughout the Southern California area, I've never been to one of these restaurants up to this point. Looking to give them a try, I decided to check them out on Uber Eats and see what there was to eat. At the time of this review, the restaurant was running a buy one get one free offer for a multitude of their dishes. And so I decided to order their Chicken Parmigiana which was $20.69 at the time of this review. Considering the BOGO price, the two orders I had came out to be about $16 per entree. And considering the size of the dish, it was pretty fair from a price-to-portion ratio. The dish had two items to it: a slab of breaded chicken and spaghetti noodles. The container it came in was pretty large in size, so the dish lasted two to three meals. From a quantity standpoint, you could make this meal last awhile which is why the portion proposition is there. But on the other side of the coin, the food was pretty difficult to eat. Starting with the piece of chicken, the breading was very soggy by the time it got to me. This made the dish as a whole taste very wet and not very appetizing. The breading of the chicken also lacked flavor which was a big letdown. The meat of the chicken appeared to be a condensed chicken patty and made the meat taste dry despite the wetness of the dish. And moving onto the noodles, the dominance of the red sauce left little room for any other flavors to shine through. The noodles tasted overwhelmingly of tomato which created a major imbalance given the texture of the noodles and the chicken it came with. With so many positive reviews coming from others who have tried Buca di Beppo, I would be inclined to try something else the next time I stop by. And while the $16 price tag for a large plate of pasta is an enticing offer from a price to portion perspective, the flavors of the food was a major letdown. But don't let this stop you from giving them a try! I'm sure the other items they have on the menu might move the needle for most people.

    First time ever eating at a Buca di Beppo and it was a great experience. Went with family on a Sunday evening and for a party of 6, we waited about 10 minutes to be sat. The decor is so cute, retro wall art, photos of celebrities, random Italian Knick knacks. Great vibe. Food was delicious. It is shaeable/family style plates. We ordered the $40 bundle - choice from spaghetti or fettuccine Alfredo and a Caesar salad or mixed greens. We chose the chicken Alfredo and the Caesar. Chefs kiss. Love a goood ceasar. We also ordered the chicken parm (3 pieces) they were hefty size and the trio platter as an appetizier which included calamari, spicy shrimp, and fried mozzarella. Yummm. My little cousin ordered the kids spaghetti and said it was plain. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

    My family and I had a pleasant experience at Buca di Beppo (Claremont). The prices are very competitive; the food portions are gigantic; staff is very charming & accommodating; and its ambiance is welcoming and lovely. If searching for an affordable location to quickly feed a large party, Buca di Beppo (Claremont) fits that niche. Concerning the food, I sincerely enjoyed their pasta's noodles because it tasted fresh and springy. [Important Note: Buca di Beppo (Claremont) serves its food "family style." The "regular" size feeds 3 to 4 people. The "buca big" size feed 5 to 6 people. Be prepared to share.] Unfortunately, the biggest problem with Buca di Beppo (Claremont) is the dishes' flavors. The Fettuccini Alfredo ($34.99 + $7 for chicken) is very bland; its cheese sauce resembles the taste served in prepackaged frozen dinners. The Chicken Marsala ($39.99) also had an unsettling sweetness; it tasted like budget Teriyaki Chicken dripping with thin teriyaki sauce. Its sugary mushrooms tasted like cotton candy. And the Buca Trio Platter ($40.99) was a mess of saltiness, cough-inducing spiciness, and oiliness. I applaud Buca di Beppo (Claremont) for its huge portions and beautiful plating. However, its food is just not tasty nor remarkable. Be prepared to use the table side pepper and salt shakers to alter its taste. My family and I arrived on Saturday (around 5PM). Buca di Beppo (Claremont) is very busy! There were many groups and parties waiting to dine-in. The front hostess immediately helped us, and she quickly wrote down my name. We were seated in four minutes and 48 seconds. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately greeted by our waiter (Vince). Vince is charming, hardworking, and very helpful. Vince brought a jovial smile and a professional attitude to our table. Compared to other locations, Buca di Beppo (Claremont) has amazing staff! Staff moved quickly. We ordered the Buca Trio Platter ($40.99), Fettuccini Alfredo ($34.99) with chicken (additional $7), Chicken Marsala ($39.99), and Colossal Brownie Sundae ($18.99). Vince worked fast. The drinks arrived in two minutes and 20 seconds. The Buca Trio Platter appetizer arrived very quickly after. Vince provided the table with bread. And all the main dishes arrived within 23 minutes. The Buca Trio Platter includes Fried Calamari, Fried Mozzarella, and Spicy Shrimp. The Fried Calamari came extremely salty. The breading is not flaky; rather, its breading is hard despite not being overcooked. Strangely, the Calamari also had a small spicy bite. The Fried Mozzarella had a very weak cheese taste. It arrived soggy and lukewarm. It sat atop very acidic tomato sauce. Unfortunately, the Spicy Shrimp was horrendous. The entire table started gagging and coughing from the unexpected, powerful spice powder in its batter. Our amazing server, Vince, quickly accommodated us; Vince was able to replace the pungent Spicy Shrimp with another serving of Fried Calamari. The complimentary bread came dry and barely warm. Thankfully, the wetness and flavor of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar saved the bread. Concerning the other dishes, the served chicken is tender and moist. And as previously mentioned, I enjoyed the pasta's noodles. It tasted fresh and well-prepared. I also liked how the Fettuccini Alfredo's sauce (despite tasting cheap) had an enjoyable thick consistency; the sauce was not wet and watery. Regarding the Colossal Brownie Sundae, I appreciated the scoops of creamy chocolate ice cream. Unfortunately, the whip cream and brownie bites tasted a little cheap with that prominent artificial sugariness. Regarding ambiance, Buca di Beppo (Claremont) sparkles and attracts. This location's strength is its phenomenal ambiance. The photographs and art murals are visually stunning. Buca di Beppo (Claremont) successfully shares the story of a rich, deep history. What's even more spectacular was the cleanliness! This location is spotless! Maintaining that level of cleanliness with so many decorations is extremely impressive. At times, Buca di Beppo (Claremont) felt like Disneyland. In addition, the location did not play music, so it was easy to speak with family. Also, I enjoyed how the air condition felt very strong (almost refreshingly chilly). Guests always felt comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Buca di Beppo (Claremont). Our waiter, Vince, is delightful. The ambiance is gorgeous. And its prices and generous portions are very competitive. Unremarkable flavors aside, I left Buca di Beppo (Claremont) full. Service: 5 out of 5 Ambiance: 5 out of 5 Food's Taste: 2 out of 5

    haven't been here lately, service was super friendly, courteous, neat old school scenery, with great history on the walls.. food tasted great, a little slow but all in all a great experience..

    Fettuccine Alfredo well suppose to be but had other noodles mixed in
    Louie R.

    I havent been here in a while Now i remember why We never got our house bread ! We ordered a festive bundle with salad fettuccine and garlic bread. We never got the garlic bread either and the fetruccine had some other pastas mixed in I know by mistake. Its like they put two leftovers togther I wont be back When i told them about both breads they did offer to bring it out but we were done and i was going to give what was left to a homeless person. Hopefully they dont complain about no bread lol

    MOLDY BREAD!
    Kent A.

    Service has never been lacking, food is good, and portions always make it worth it. Bummed that my last visit might be my last visit. It truly was a date night disaster. After being seated and drink/dinner order. I started eating the bread, I'm tearing it and I double take and see MOLD ON THE BREAD! Girlfriend freaks out and immediately wants to leave. We're ready to go and our server comes over and my girlfriend quietly shows her the mold on the bread. My girlfriend and I talked about it later, because our server was horrified herself. She didn't even respond calmly, she gave us her honest initial reaction. She comped my girlfriend's coke and we were on our way. We heard her telling the kitchen and I'm sure she had that moldy bread in hand. I reached out to corporate but of course no one has bothered to contact me.

    Food was delicious, and our server Chuck was a funny and attentive host for our family of 11. They made the service feel easy, quick, and gave us a nice place to celebrate our friends birthday!

    My husband and I went here for our 27th wedding anniversary to have dinner we didn't have to wait long but when they seated us they took us way way in the back at a round table pretty much by ourselves and not even a booth like they have in the front part as you walk in. The waiter took our order brought our food and didn't come back to check on us to see if we needed anything for a long time he only came by once. The food was ok but a little dry on the fettuccine Alfredo I was really hoping to enjoy this night at a nice table setting. As we walked out we seen so many open booths that looked more like a romantic setting that would of been my ideal table and a little better customer service.

    Stuffed Cheese Manicotti
    Alex M. ..

    Been coming to this location for over 20 years now. Always a delicious and satisfying meal with enough food to take home for 2 days! Our server Chuck was exceptional helping us out with the menu and our options! The Chicken Parmigiana NEVER fails us. The Manicotti was so tender and gooey. Hoping to celebrate birthdays and big occasions for years to come.

    We went here for mother's day. It was my first time here. It is definitely a pricier establishment…read moreso I was looking forward to finally trying it out. We sat outside and the ambiance (both inside and outside) were nice. The outside was definitely a lot quieter than inside, and the server next to us even offered to turn on the heaters (though not needed). I enjoyed being outside. We started off with appetizers which included grilled octopus and oysters. Although, even though they were on ice, the oysters weren't cold enough for me. Still, we downed them with the fresh horseradish and cocktail sauce and just prayed about it later lol. My family liked the grill octopus. It was tender and had a very smokey char flavor but if I'm being honest, it was not MY favorite so I probably would not personally order again. Even my mom said she thought it was "just alright." I ordered the Branzino and it lacked in flavor. I was not a fan of the green sauce it had on the side. It was not completely terrible, but not great either. It was cooked well and crispy, but that's all I can say for it as even Tabasco didn't make it great. The best thing of the night was probably the lamb chops and the cheese ravioli. They were both cooked well & tasted great so if I were to come back Id stick to pasta and that. The lychee mocktails & their ricotta cheesecake were probably my favorite things on the menu. The tart was decent. Our waiter was slow at times and kept either forgetting certain drinks or what we asked of him or the kitchen was just slower than usual. I'm not sure which, but service wasn't on par with the price point in my opinion. Luckily we were pretty relaxed, but my mom had finished her food by the time her wine arrived. Overall, it was an ok night. My family at least had fun and enjoyed their time there. The food was presented nicely, and service was OK as a whole but I'm not sure I'd come back on my own accord again. Definitely nice to say I've visited & tried it out at least once though!

The cream of mushroom (an upgrade, but absolutely worth it) was luxuriously smooth and intensely aromatic -- it truly tasted like freshly blended mushrooms rather than a generic cream base. Rich, velvety, and deeply savory. The pizza had a beautifully crisp crust with that satisfying crunch along the edges, yet still tender inside. The pasta was perfectly al dente with excellent bite. The white sauce was creamy and full-bodied without being runny, coating each strand evenly. The red sauce struck a lovely balance between acidity and sweetness -- bright but not sharp. The stuffed mushrooms were especially juicy and flavorful, releasing a savory broth with every bite. Tiramisu leaned slightly heavier on the liqueur, which I personally enjoyed -- bold, fragrant, and not overly sweet. Portions were very generous; the three of us couldn't finish everything and ended up packing two lunch-sized portions to go. Service was attentive and efficient without being intrusive. The dining room felt comfortable and relaxed -- classic Italian trattoria energy, warm and inviting. A meal that felt thoughtfully executed from start to finish.

They are cheesy and it's a huge portion. Not like the ones I eat at the beach, hard and salty. The chicken Parmesan is insane here. So much flavor and you get spaghetti with it. I can never finish it when I get it. Also, the bread they bring out to tables is so toasty and delicious. The waiter also came by and showed me their wine list. He asked me if I wanted some. Of course I ordered their finest Mr. Pibb on tap. The waiter served it to me and introduced it as their finest Pibb xtra with ice. Ooh it's the Pibb I've had at a restaurant. Give this joint a try in you're in town. Even if you're not in town, drive to it, you won't be disappointed. This joint is amazing!

    Came here with a friend for the first time and we ended up ordering lattes, the Stuffed Artichoke,…read moreFettuccini Carbonara, Chicken Cannelloni, and the cheesecake. I really enjoyed the presentation of everything, like the dishes and the lattes were very cute and aesthetic! Our waiter was also really nice and helpful with recommendations. The pastas did take a while to arrive though... As for the food: The sugar cubes definitely helped sweeten the latte, and I think I'd order it again. I absolutely loved the Stuffed Artichoke! The creaminess and cheesiness were amazing, and I'd 100% get it again! The Fettuccini Carbonara was good, but if I came back, I'd want to try something different. The cheesecake was a delicious way to finish things off! I really enjoyed the sweetness and the raspberries on top. We definitely left full and with leftovers haha

    It had been a while since going to one of our favorite spots in Laverne. We did go in on Mother's…read moreDay so wasn't sure how crazy it was going to be. Made reservation for 4:00pm when they normally open for dinner. When we go there there were already a few tables that had been served. Found out the stayed open since lunch since it was Mother's Day . Would have liked it if I was given an option to eat earlier. Brought my own wine so felt the $20 corkage fee was reasonable. We sat outside right away. Service was a little slow even though they were not that busy when we got there. I think it was our server as the other servers responded quickly with orders and follow up. My carbonara was just OK. The rich tasting runny egg was cooked too long and was more like a hard boiled egg. Still love this place so giving them a pass since it was a difficult day - Mother's Day -

    Went to this cute little place today in Claremont because we were specifically looking for a…read morewoodfired pizza. They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

    We decided to try brunch on a Saturday morning. Long story short,…read more I ordered the steak and eggs breakfast. At $38ish, I expected a great meal. It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

We tried the lasagna and the Alfredo pasta, and both were delicious and comforting in the best way. Service was a little on the slower side, but we chose to sit outside on a rainy day, so it felt worth it for the cozy, romantic vibe. It actually added to the experience more than anything. Definitely recommend, and we will absolutely be coming back!

I went for dinner on Wednesday so the restaurant wasn't packed. As soon as you walk in you get git with that Italian restaurant smell (idk how else to describe it) so I was hopeful that it would be good. The restaurant is dimly lit so it creates an intimate atmosphere. Very cozy. Our server was friendly and helped me choose between two dishes I wanted. We started with bread service which includes a few different styles of bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my entree I went with the clam linguine. It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.
