    Server was nice. But I've been to Bucca multiple times (recently, mind you) and I've never had such small servings! We ordered a small calamari (one that is suppose to serve 3 people), normally fills up the plate but came in a tiny bowl on a plate. The salad was a salad for 1-2 people and our pizza was 8 small slices. I literally feel like I got half of everything I ordered and I was charged over $70 for it!!!! The photo shows our pizza with 2 slices takes out. How is this "family sized?" I paid $19 bucks for 8 slices of pizza? Really?????

    Great experience!!! Jolene was very helpful and kind, thank you for serving my family & I. I loved the fettuccine Alfredo. Nice ambiance. The restrooms are clean and cute. I am planning to come here for special occasions, I made reservations and was sat quickly.

    A must! Everything was delicious, especially the Salmon. Our server was polite and prompt, food was amazing and drinks were worth every penny.

    Traveling from CO and stopped here, it was definitely difficult for the family to decide on 2 dishes but decided on the Spicy Arrabbiata pizza and the Chicken Carbonara which both was very good and flavorful. It would have been nice to have the food come out together instead of about 10 minutes apart and it took about 10 minutes as well to get plates but overall our server Harry was very nice and helpful. Would come back with more people too!

    Lovely place! We were able to find seating right away at the bar. The bartender Kisandra (sorry if I misspelled her name) was excellent and made us feel right at home. The service was always attentive and very friendly. We had their delicious bread! Ordered the Trio Appetizer and a Lasagna and a couple of bottles of wine. The chef did an excellent job on the food, the mozzarella cheese was very good and well balanced. The lasagna was my favorite, it gave me a feeling of warmness and tasted like it was made by the nonna at one of those good mom and pop’s Italian restaurants. Keep in mind that portions are a pretty good size enough for 2 or even 3 people depending on how much each individual eats. Two of us ate and had left overs. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend it when visiting Albuquerque.

    We came out to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We began the celebration by everyone going to Century Rio to watch Cabaret on the big screen and then we came to Bucca for some dinner. Our server was Sebastian and he was spot on! He was friendly and attentive to all our needs. The food was incredible as always. A wonderful ending to a great family day. Thank you Bucca and THANK YOU Sebastian.

    A long standing Italian restaurant, Buca di Beppo specializes in family style Italian dining. All of the dishes were delicious and massive (family style, a plate is for 3-4 people). Unfortunately, on a Tuesday night, the restaurant itself was relatively slow. The server only came around every so often and clearing plates almost never happened. The dishes themselves came out broiling hot, and fresh and then decent speed. If you want carbs, have a large group to feed, or really love leftovers, this place is your jam.

    They can barely handle one restaurant much less the 2 other Ghost Kitchens they serve. We waited about an hour to seated and they decided to cancel our reservation. It wasn't busy at all but they just don't have enough staff.

    Took my son for a birthday lunch today. The food was delicious, generous lunch servings and very well priced! The service was AMAZING! Our waitress Maia was the best we could have asked for! She really helped make today special. Thank you Maia, you rock!

    We had reservations for my wife's birthday. When arriving to the restaurant it was a nightmare. They had overbooked and our reservation wasn't available. After about 40 frustrating minutes and RUDE bar staff. The chef/manager Eddie came out and completely turned our experience around he found us a table, Got us an amazing waitress named Kimber. Her and Eddie made our night better. Those two employees are amazing and should be praised.

    Came in with a party of 11 (made a reservation) and were seated immediately! When we got seated our server Marco introduced himself and helped us pick out good menu items/ drinks. We never had to ask him twice for anything he was on it! It was definitely some of the best service we had in a long time! Thank you Marco for your hospitality!

    The restaurant is really big so they make a lot of food, especially with their emphases on Family Meals. The food can be exceptional when made in such quantity but it is good. I like it just fine. Meatballs are really good here. I give them an A rating. Everything else seems to be a B or B+ rating to me. I get Sky Miles Rewards Points with Delta Airlines so I do like returning here on a regular basis. It is very nicely decorated.

    Made the mistake of ordering 2 meals for just the two of us. One was more than we could both eat. Very large portions! Calamari was very rubbery and I thought I would never get it chewed. Spaghetti with meat sauce was excellent! Baked Ziti left a lot to be desired…do not recommend. Very pricey, but we have 6 meals to take home!

    Family style large portions. The type where you pass the dish around. We enjoyed it.

    It is a nice Italian spot. Traditional food and a basement speakeasy sort of Italian atmosphere. Food was simple but good. Service was great.

    Very cute restaurant. Book reservations online so you never have to wait. Had a blast with my birthday and got a huge brownie Sunday. They have individual or family size servings and the family servings are perfect for a family just like stated on the menu. A perfect Italian style restaurant.

    So I'm going to start with how our waiter Taylor did an amazing job taking care of us and his other tables on Christmas eve. The staff was energetic, the food was AMAZING, and the atmosphere is fun and family friendly. The small orders are for 3-5 people, the regular is for like 8-10 people. IT IS A LOT OF GOOD FOOD! I would recommend it for family gatherings without a problem. It does make it easier for large groups to do a reservation before showing up. There is not much in parking spaces so I suggest carpool. But the food is great!

    My first experience here, interior is well deocrated with lots of unique Italian inspired decor! Sebastian was very professional and helpful with some delays in our order but made everything right for us in the end. I loved the Penne de Semo, I never had artichoke hearts in pasta, must try! It was a bit of a wait but not too long. Definitely would come back for special occasions! 😁
