Others I've visited over the years have had several unusually small dining rooms, I'm looking at you Anaheim. But here the dining room is large including several theme rooms for bigger parties. Seating is also ample with large family sized booths.\n\nEveryone we encountered was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us navigate drinks and dinner. They were out of both IPAs, same thing happened at another location. Not sure what's up with that, so if you like drinking those, be warned.\n\nThere were 4 of us dining in so we were able to share quite a number of dishes. Standouts included their crispy-crunchy Fried Mozzarella appetizer. I mean fried cheese, what's not to love. Chicken Parmigiana also reflected a delicious crunch all smothered in sauce and cheese. Along side we ordered a Buca Big Fettuccini Alfredo, I'm pretty sure this was a couple of pounds of pasta. I've been eating leftovers since. All delicious and honestly, I was surprised the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.\n\nOn a side note, if you are only 1-2 guests and sit in the bar, you can order from their lunch menu. This includes smaller versions of their most delicious items. Perfect for a regular weeknight meal.\n\nI'm pretty happy they opened so close to our place downtown. It's nice to have another pasta forward option in the area. Now they just need to get their IPA game together.","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":"Buca di Beppo San Diego

Others I've visited over the years have had several unusually small dining rooms, I'm looking at you Anaheim. But here the dining room is large including several theme rooms for bigger parties. Seating is also ample with large family sized booths.\n\nEveryone we encountered was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us navigate drinks and dinner. They were out of both IPAs, same thing happened at another location. Not sure what's up with that, so if you like drinking those, be warned.\n\nThere were 4 of us dining in so we were able to share quite a number of dishes. Standouts included their crispy-crunchy Fried Mozzarella appetizer. I mean fried cheese, what's not to love. Chicken Parmigiana also reflected a delicious crunch all smothered in sauce and cheese. Along side we ordered a Buca Big Fettuccini Alfredo, I'm pretty sure this was a couple of pounds of pasta. I've been eating leftovers since. All delicious and honestly, I was surprised the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.\n\nOn a side note, if you are only 1-2 guests and sit in the bar, you can order from their lunch menu. This includes smaller versions of their most delicious items. Perfect for a regular weeknight meal.\n\nI'm pretty happy they opened so close to our place downtown. It's nice to have another pasta forward option in the area. Now they just need to get their IPA game together.","rating":{"food":4,"service":5,"ambience":5,"value":5,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":71,"nickname":"Alex","metro":{"metroId":15,"displayName":"San

We got there and the bartender, Oscar, was nice and recommended good drinks. We quickly placed our order for an appetizer, salad, and bread, and then right after our food was ordered. Everything before the food came out quickly and delicious. Then a party of around 60 came in and we didn't mind when asked if wanted to move, because it was no bother. We get it, it's a restruant, big parties will come in. Our food was put in BEFORE that big party came in. We finished the appetizer and salad. But waited for our food. The server later told us it was being worked on, which was great. Time passed, and he didn't say anything until about 30 minutes more later. More time passed and the big group was already having around 3 entrees passed around. We waited more and he came back to tell us it was still being worked on. At this point we were going to cancel it, but instead decided to take it to go. So we asked if it was being plated already and he said yes, but we told him we are taking it to go. Another 15 minutes passed and it came in a bowl instead of a box. If it was already being plated, why did it take 15 minutes? Waited about an hour for the Spicy Chicken Rigatoni. That was the only thing we ordered for our meal to share and it was disappointing to not even be able to eat it there because we had to leave to go catch a showing. They did discount one of the drinks, but this was a bad experience at this location, considering we've gone to the Carlsbad and Mira Mesa one and have seen how they handle big parties and other tables well. My recommendation is if you see a big party, keep an eye out for your food here.","rating":{"food":3,"service":2,"ambience":2,"value":5,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":2,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":1,"nickname":"Yovana","metro":{"metroId":15,"displayName":"San Diego","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"Y","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-07T06:45:14Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-03T17:30:00-07:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-19405-2110016619-160130579576","text":"Expensive large portions of entrees.

Opened in a new location downtown close to the convention center, Buca is still doing that they do best, family sized portions of red table cloth Italian comfort food.
First thing you'll notice is how open this location is. Others I've visited over the years have had several unusually small dining rooms, I'm looking at you Anaheim. But here the dining room is large including several theme rooms for bigger parties. Seating is also ample with large family sized booths.
Everyone we encountered was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us navigate drinks and dinner. They were out of both IPAs, same thing happened at another location. Not sure what's up with that, so if you like drinking those, be warned.
There were 4 of us dining in so we were able to share quite a number of dishes. Standouts included their crispy-crunchy Fried Mozzarella appetizer. I mean fried cheese, what's not to love. Chicken Parmigiana also reflected a delicious crunch all smothered in sauce and cheese. Along side we ordered a Buca Big Fettuccini Alfredo, I'm pretty sure this was a couple of pounds of pasta. I've been eating leftovers since. All delicious and honestly, I was surprised the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.
On a side note, if you are only 1-2 guests and sit in the bar, you can order from their lunch menu. This includes smaller versions of their most delicious items. Perfect for a regular weeknight meal.
I'm pretty happy they opened so close to our place downtown. It's nice to have another pasta forward option in the area. Now they just need to get their IPA game together.

This was our First time at Buca for my Husband’s Birthday weekend in San diego and the experience was amazing we started with the Brussels sprouts and Salad and Garlic bread or server Haley recommended Oil & Vinegar to complement our bread and we finished with Lasagna, Salmon (Chiefs kiss) & Fettuccine.
And we ended our night with an amazing Birthday Serenade and a piece of cake 🥳
Complete unforgettable experience thank you Buca  di beppo👏🏾
Can’t wait to experience this with the whole family, see you soon 🥰

1) The restaurant was hot and we were sweating. 2) Right as we are receiving some of our entrées, they told us they did not have the family lasagna we ordered. They had us order an alternative, which came much later. Then they billed us for the family lasagna. 3) at all times, the service was incomplete: silverware missing, coming late, drinks sporadic, menus being taken away before we ordered. 4) sizing of servings has changed and I get that it’s inflation. Just overall a really bad experience. Waiter was nice, but he was also serving as the restaurant bartender frantically. He tried.

Went in for date night and was disappointed with service. We got there and the bartender, Oscar, was nice and recommended good drinks. We quickly placed our order for an appetizer, salad, and bread, and then right after our food was ordered. Everything before the food came out quickly and delicious. Then a party of around 60 came in and we didn't mind when asked if wanted to move, because it was no bother. We get it, it's a restruant, big parties will come in. Our food was put in BEFORE that big party came in. We finished the appetizer and salad. But waited for our food. The server later told us it was being worked on, which was great. Time passed, and he didn't say anything until about 30 minutes more later. More time passed and the big group was already having around 3 entrees passed around. We waited more and he came back to tell us it was still being worked on. At this point we were going to cancel it, but instead decided to take it to go. So we asked if it was being plated already and he said yes, but we told him we are taking it to go. Another 15 minutes passed and it came in a bowl instead of a box. If it was already being plated, why did it take 15 minutes? Waited about an hour for the Spicy Chicken Rigatoni. That was the only thing we ordered for our meal to share and it was disappointing to not even be able to eat it there because we had to leave to go catch a showing. They did discount one of the drinks, but this was a bad experience at this location, considering we've gone to the Carlsbad and Mira Mesa one and have seen how they handle big parties and other tables well. My recommendation is if you see a big party, keep an eye out for your food here.

Expensive large portions of entrees. It’s a novelty restaurant with an Italian theme.
But there are many fine Italian restaurants in San Diego and no need to pick this one.
