    I haven’t been to a buca di Beppo since 2006. I remembered it to be a kitschy Italian place with lower end Italian American fare, but on par with maggianos. I can’t express how shocked i was at the food quality. It all seemed frozen and reheated. Absolutely terrible. Even our kids felt the food was inedible. Imagine my confusion when the bill arrived. I feel like I’ve been to every restaurant in the west valley / Ventura area and I can verify BdB is an alarmingly unassuming rip off. Lower quality than Olive Garden, and more expensive than the best Italian restaurant in Thousand Oaks. Try literally anywhere else.

    Great lunch BOGO special that brought us to restaurant. Warm bread brought to the table, very large portions of eggplant parmigiana. I had the spaghetti on the side and it wasn’t great. Not any flavor to the sauce. Other diner has fettuccine al freddo and said it was very good. We each took some home for lunch the next day.

    The food was excellent, but very expensive. Took a group of 10 and the bill with tip was nearly $50 a head. A liter of Sangria is $31 and not worth $10. Totally full of ice and a true disappointment. Nice birthday surprise for the birthday celebrate and a nice closing touch on the evening.

    Everything was great. The host was great. Our server at the end felt like she was rushing to get us out. She was just picking up plates not saying anything just crossing us and picking up. Just felt awkward so we got up and left.

    We went for Christmas dinner and the staff was very festive and friendly and did not seem rushed even though the place was packed. The food was delicious and luckily we knew the portions are HUGE so we ordered 3 “small” entrees for 6 people and took a lot home. I’m glad that I stumbled upon this place!

    I have dined at this restaurant many times in the past. Food is delicious, service is decent and the ambience is lively. This is a casual restaurant and it seems like its popularity has fizzled out over the years. This restaurant and all its chains used to be quite crowded and happening. It is no longer crowded. It is still a good bet for a casual dining occasion.

    The quality of the food for the money, was poor. Spaghetti had zero flavor, chicken parmigiana was a little rubbery , the garlic bread and Caesar salad was good, the best thing we actually had. Overall it was disappointing.

    My daughter chose this for dinner following her HS graduation. The service and food were both meh. Nothing remarkable and really nothing special....just average. The 2 martinis that were ordered as soon as we walked in took more than 20 minutes to get to the table. The prices were definitely very high for what we got. The person who sat our party was the most unenthusiastic lethargic person they could have found for the job. We will not be making a return trip.

    Great food. Staff that was there was very kind and helpful. It was Valentine’s Day/evening and they were super short staffed evidently and out of a few things we were told. Wait time was eaten up by a short stay at the bar. Also a bit longer wait for food too, server staff apologized but we didn’t mind. A bit bad on management to allow this to happen though. But over all a good place to eat. Great food, big portions and worth the price. Ambiance is a little Loud with kids and big parties. Not sure if couples could be put more together to keep it a bit quieter versus sitting a nice dressed couple in the middle of a room full of big families with lots of kids. But again no big deal. Just a thought. Again great tasting food.

    We were seated promptly. The waiter brought water for everyone. But failed to come back to take drink orders in a timely manner. Likewise failed to return in a timely manner to take dinner orders. He did not explain that the meals were a family style and design for sharing.As such, my entrée did not come with pasta. The pizza was undercooked and over priced. The waiter never returned to check on us and we had to seek him out to get our check.

    We made reservations on a Sunday night it was a little crowded and noisy but the big party left after we sat down. We ordered appetizers and two pizzas usually the pizza is very good but the pepperoni pizza was way to greasy and the cheese pizza was okay. The service was good. We definitely would go back.
