My friends and I visited this restaurant on Friday shortly after it opened, and we were lucky to have Elliot as our waiter. His welcome was warm and he told us to sit wherever we felt most comfortable. Once we found a table, Elliot gave us both the lunch and dinner menus to look over. Knowing the portions were large, we decided to take advantage of the lunch menu. Upon Elliot's suggestion, we tried something new - the BBQ chicken salad wrap, which came with a cup of soup. The portion was huge and we doubted anyone could finish it in one sitting, but Elliot was prepared with takeout containers. The staff on duty that morning worked well together, assisting each other with drink refills, food...

Great service, good lunch menu deals. In fact, they have a brunch menu, lunch specials, and a regular dinner menu. Everything looks yummy and we took some time to make the final decision. We shared the famous garlic knots, it sure was worth the wait!! Fluffy and flavorful, it was the perfect starter for an Italian meal. I also like the Salad Add On option with the email for $6, I got a plateful of fresh greens, Italian sausages, fresh mozzarella bits, sliced olives, and chopped salad. For the entree, I had their famous chicken parmigiana lunch portion one piece of chicken and one side. It was good but did not stand out. My favorite dish for the lunch gathering was the salad!
I have finally discovered my go-to Italian restaurant! I found it on Grubhub and, although it is on the pricier side, the portions are so generous that one order lasts me for three meals. I have tried the spaghetti with marinara and meatballs, as well as the penne with meat sauce, and both dishes were delicious. I am relieved that I no longer have to order from Buca di Beppo. The ingredients are fresh, the sauce has the perfect tanginess, and the meatballs are amazing. I have not dined in at the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the decor, but the delivery is always speedy and I make sure to tip well.
We stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to go with the lunch special. It's a pretty good deal, $12 for a salad. I got mozzarella sticks as well and was surprised to be charged fifty cents for ranch! I think that if I'm already paying for an appetizer a business can give me a small side of ranch on the side. Our waitress was a little overworked because they did not have a busser. Totally not her fault and she was friendly. Overall, it was a positive experience. I think they should be more upfront with small charges and maybe put the customer first for silly sides like ranch. Book a table now
We arrived at 500pm on New Year's Day for an early dinner and luckily we did because it got busy afterwards with no seating and people waiting. Our waitress was very busy and the rest of the employees were very helpful. They have a very limited liquor menu so don't expect fancy bar drinks. We ordered a pesto pasta, large salad, and the warm out of the oven inexpensive one dollar bread basket. The food was a bit pricey but overall good service with it being so busy on a holiday.
Large menu with good portions! Always a plus for Italian restaurants. They have a huge parking that is shared with other restaurants and provide indoor and outdoor dining as well. I had the chance to try the carbonara for a work lunch and it was good! Don't forget to also order the bread, comes out warm and great as an app. Servers were super friendly and attentive to our party.
I love this place since ive been going for years. However, my husband and I ordered meatballs yesterday togo. We had few leftovers so i decided to have today. I understand plastic wraps/ egg shells/ etc due to delivery/ just simple human mistake, do NOT get me wrong I would rather find NOTHING, but i found a stapler insert today. Thank god i saw this earlier.
We had an amazing dining experience. Our server, Chance, was outstanding. He was attentive and had a great sense of humor. I can't wait to come back again. Book a table now
This place is beginning to be one of our favorite Italian eateries. Service is good, food is delicious, and everyone is happy.
If I could give 0 stars I would. Just awful. Bad service, bad food. Dead Ambiance. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR STOMACH
