Buca Di Beppo

I can't believe they charged me $2.50 for a plate of plain spaghetti for my 10 month old daughter. I actually asked if they can just give me a little bit, but they sent a very small plate. Food is ok, not bad, service is also good.

Similarly to other reviewers, I would not recommend this place for special occasions. However, you got to try to place once. The decor is interesting and the serving size is huge. The food is average but I do love their caesar salad with anchovies (you have to ask for it) and they make a good margarita. The service is spotty as we went here several times and sometimes we get good service while other times it was average. I don't recommend sitting at the kitchen table because it tends to be very noisy and we people walking pass you to get into the main dinning rooms, you feel like you're on display.

We went for first time last night with another couple.....HORRIBLE service....HORRIBLE Food!! Photos around the restaurant were the only positive thing.

Owner came by and told us we needed to leave as he needed the table. What a rude and disgusting little man.

After living less than a mile away from Buca for almost a year, my husband and I finaly decided to get take-out from them one night after receiving a coupon in the mail. The service was good. Our food was ready in twenty minutes as they said it would be. We ordered chicken parmigian and fried calamari. I knew we would be dissappointed as soon as I got to may car with the food and the calamari smelled fishy. It was just the right amount of food for two people, and was not horrible, but was only warm, not hot, and it was definitely not anything special. The calamari was rubbery, and a little over cooked. And since when does chicken parmigian come with ham on top? The food was edible, but with so many other wonderful Italian restaurants in Houston, I don't see how Buca has managed to stay in business. We won't be returning.
