This place is the best , been here about four times and every time better than the first, when you enter, they walk you through the kitchen , then take you to your seat, the menu is a little on the high side, but the food is well worth it.always served hot, and comes as a platter that you dish out your selves like a family meal at an Italian dinner table at home. If it's your first trip , let them know about it, when we went for the first time, they gave us one entree at no charge just to get us to come back.
Review Source:I have not been impressed with Buca the last 2 times I have been there. The portion sizes are great for engaging in family style dining, but the over-all food quality is less than desirable.
In my most recent visit we ordered caesar salad (always delicious - and vegetarian friendly. They do not put anchovies in their dressing.) Cheese bread and spaghetti with meatballs, an Italian classic that turned out to be rather disappointing.
I have had better spaghetti from Fazoli's. My noodles were swimming in grease and there just wasn't much flavor and spices; very bland.
The previous time I visited my boyfriend and I ordered the Chicken Basilica and was not impressed. The wait staff was great, but the  chicken in the penne was gamey. I am disappointed - over the years I feel that their quality of food has gone downhill.
One of my favorite places to go in Greenwood! Â Get on the EClub e-mail list before you go, because they frequently issue great coupons ($10 off a $20 purchase is generous to me, and I'm pretty frugal). Â In my experience, they have also taken multiple coupons in one meal, leading to us saving upwards of $20 in a single visit on huge portions of food (which made great leftovers for the week, I might add)! Â Definitely get on the mailing list the month before your birthday, because you will get a free dessert coupon, and the desserts are huge and generally delicious. Â Growing up in a Southern Italian family, I really enjoy the olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip served with the bread, but I really think they should serve the bread warm like Carrabba's generally does (and leave the oil and balsamic vinegar on the table instead of taking it away!). Â The service I've had at this location has always been good, and my husband and I have been eating here on and off for at least 7 years. Â The only drawback is that the restaurant is organized into a series of smaller rooms (like all Buca locations), and you may get stuck seated with a large, loud party. Â However, the restaurant is a good place to bring groups and generally a great place to go with friends or on a date. Â My husband and I always come prepared to take food home with us!
Review Source:Bucca. I love me some Bucca...
For those of us who aren't familiar with Bucca, it's a family style chain Italian restaurant. The portions are HUGE, serving 2-4 people, on average.
The interior of most Bucca restaurants (so far as I'm aware; I've only been in three) are really cozy. They definitely are going for the feel of an old style Italian place... The decor is eclectic and there are photos on all of the walls. Some of the prints are really amusing, and looking at them is kind of fun. (My favorite one at this location is a SUPER large print from the late 50s or early 60s... It shows three women and they are eating spaghetti with no utensils, just their faces... Like a spaghetti eating contest!)
I digress.
One kinda weird thing they enjoy doing is walking your party through the kitchen as they take you to your table. I suppose they want you to see where your food is coming from, and all that, but I think it's bizarre and unsanitary. I don't want whooping cough because they want to be gimmicky. (Though honestly, I don't want to get whopping cough for any reason.)
And now! The food. My favorite dishes at Bucca include the Chicken Saltimbocca and the Apple Gorgonzola salad. Their meatballs are also delicious and moist. (I'm certain that I could eat the lemon butter/caper sauce that comes on the chicken ALLLLL the time and never get tired of it!)
The staff is generally pretty nice, though they do that douche-y stuff that some waiters/waitresses at certain chain restaurants do... Like coming to the table and asking, "Is everything delicious?" That phrase makes me want to stab people, incidentally.
I digress AGAIN.
My husband and I also love to get take out from this place... and then I eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. They are always really nice, and the food is packaged well. We often get the aforementioned salad, and they package the dressing separately, rather than tossing it beforehand and letting it wilt before we get home. They also have the curbside-to-go thing and so they bring it out to the car and such... making pajama runs to Bucca totally doable.
This place is  great... especially for a small group of friends (though they can definitely accommodate larger groups)! I definitely recommend giving it a shot.
**I should note, however, that my husband feels this place is a bit expensive for what it is (i.e. chain Italian food). I tend to agree with him, honestly... You do get a lot of food, and some of their items are pretty reasonable, but the Chicken Saltimbocca (which I LOVE) is pretty expensive.
Went here for the first time for my cousins birthday dinner. It was a little pricey for my dinner. But they give you a lot of food.
The desert Tiramisu was wonderful. Â I wouldn't mine going back again.
I understand the wall switch in the women's bathroom if very unique.
The service was really great as well. But I am afraid I will have to reserve this place for special occasions.
Buca Di Beppo is what Italian is all about. No more of the highly expensive overly generic italian joints with skimpy portions and high prices. Italian restaruants are also great but some try to play it too romantic which makes it ackward to go with a bud or the guys. The main highlight of this place is that it offers big portion family style food at very reasonable prices, good fun, tons of italian nostalgia on walls and good music. Very friendly cheery staff and excellent wait time. Food was  ready in about 10 mins. VERY generous portions enough for a couple or even large families. Dont come in here expecting to get a medium sized dish.. NO my friend nothing but real authentic italian portions, the way it should be.  Very nice for family dinning aswell as a fun first date or casual dinner.. Fits all occassions. Try it now!
