Buca di Beppo

I had no idea that Buca di Beppo existed outside of downtown San Francisco, so I practically cried when I passed one, ON MY WAY HOME. With meatballs the size of Patton Manning's freakishly large head, and wonderful ambience, Buca on W. Lake Mead gives the out of towner the guarantee of tasty pastas and overly buttery breads. Their garlic bread with its slices of fresh garlic, remains the best around. My fiance sinks through the layers of cheesy lasagna goodness without speaking...except a few satisfied moans and grunts. Although the place sometimes emits a less than pleasant olfactory experience (we still can't quite figure out why it sometimes smells like backed up pipes) it makes up in clean, prompt and remarkably afford able experience. One other thing that Buca offers is privacy-from parties to intimate...they provide the best booths, bar and private rooms in the area. hands down.

I live in Summerlin and I love to go to this restaurant with a large group. The portions are gigantic so you should plan on sharing with other family members or friends. The atmosphere is friendly and fun and I thought the food was pretty good.

mussels were excellent, try getting the 5L bottle of wine, you'll be surprised how economical it is!!

Great food, excellent atmosphere! Perfect for large family gatherings or just completely pigging out!

We were promptly seated. Then forgotten. After 15 minutes I went to the bar looking for the manager. We were promptly switched to another waite person who went above and beyond to serve us well. The manager offered us free appetizer or desert to appease us. Food was very quickly served, hot and up to the Buca standard that we know and love. Must have been a quirk in their system that day. We would still recommend this restaurant as one of our favs.
