Editorial Review for Buca di Beppo – by Saira Masood
In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!

We dined at this location with a group of 20 for a university student group function on April 26th. The food was wonderful, service excellent…up until it came time to pay. I had been informed several times, while making reservations in advance, that the restaurant accepted university purchase orders. The hostess even put me on hold to double-check this information. I was instructed to let the server know about the P.O. prior to the meal, which I did. When the bill came, the server accepted the purchase order, only to return a few minutes later to ask if it was a form of payment. He then mentioned that they only accepted them for University functions, to which we explained that it indeed was. We then had the manager come to the table to tell us that they do not accept purchase orders at all. After discussing options, we returned to the manager and explained that we had been told several times that purchase orders were accepted, otherwise we never would have taken that route. He proceeded to give several visibly insincere apologies and mentioned that in his five years with the company they had never accepted them. He further made it clear that there was nothing he would do and we were left to foot the $160 bill. No efforts were made on his part to accommodate our group in any way. The wait staff, however, did attempt to work something out, which was obviously prevented by said manager. The treatment that we received from this manager was far from acceptable in the realm of customer service. His behavior reflected very poorly on the restaurant in my eyes and as a result I would advise people, especially those with large groups, to avoid this location.

Nice atmosphere but the food was not good the sauce tastes like they only opened a can of tomato paste to make the food. Try the burger place accross the street
Pros: nice atmosphere
Cons: I think bucca means hole (what does that tell you)?
