Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant, nestled in San Diego, is a gem for lovers of hearty Italian cuisine. This vibrant eatery is celebrated for its massive portions and lively atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for gatherings. Customers often rave about the lunch experience, where quick seating and prompt service set the tone for a delightful meal. Reviewers consistently emphasize the generous servings, with many noting that a large pizza or pasta dish can feed 3-4 people, ensuring that you leave with leftovers.

Ambience plays a role too; the colorful decor creates a festive vibe that enhances the dining experience. Patrons appreciate the attentive service, with staff going above and beyond to recommend dishes tailored to individual tastes. Highlights include the fried calamari, lasagna, and various pasta options, all praised for their rich flavors and quality.

The best time to dine at Buca is probably lunch time. We went at 11:50AM, no wait and was sat down immediately. Service was fast and timely for everything! Although we ordered from the lunch menu, the portion was huge. We had leftovers to bring home. Highly recommend for lunch dinning!

Be careful about the dinner portions here because they are huge!! We underestimated the large size for everything. Large pizza is plenty for 3-4 people, and same with pasta dishes and desserts. Food was good and definitely recommend you try it. Come hungry!!!

Phenomenal service and huge servings worth the cost! Our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience super memorable. The food, especially the pasta and appetizers were spot on. The ambience is pretty lively with all the decor, and the only drawback would be the restroom located past a maze of tables on the 2nd floor. Overall, it was a delicious experience.

Gives that nice Italian restaurant feel, photographer was very nice (wish I remembered her name so I can give her a proper accolade) she takes great pictures for a nice keepsake, yes they do come at a reasonable price but worth it for the photo quality. The food was delicious and scrumptious, only thing is having to order family portions, some in our group had allergies and would have been nice to order a la carte just so they wouldn't be at ease when ordering. Waiter Mark was attentive to our needs and even made great selections when we asked about the menu items, threw in his favorites suggestions, which were spot on.

Great great food! Fried calamari, lasagna, salads, shrimp name it, we ordered it! Excellent food! Party of 6 at 3:45pm restaurant was empty but they sat us upstairs?!? Different but it worked out as it felt we had a private room. Huge portions. Eccentric decor! Very eccentric lol we will be back

Everything was amazing. The food was great. I love the effort they put into the decorations. Beautiful portraits everywhere! They also have photos available, a camera man came and took pictures for us to have a little souvenir to remember the night! They have great pasta here. side note The Caesar salad was to DIE for! It was seriously the best Caesar salad i've ever had.

THISSSS IS OFF THE CHARTS!!! My husband, and I went here for first anniversary and they did not disappoint. The food was immaculate. We ordered Chicken Parm and rigatoni. The atmosphere was very calm, romantic and vintage. The portion sizes are more than enough. Worth every penny. The service was awesome. Very polite. 10/10
