This place was awesome. The decor was great. The food very delicious. And the staff was very friendly. My family and I love Italian food and try to eat at different places. This place is top of our list! Y'all need one in Biloxi Mississippi, and Chattanooga TN!
My beautiful daughters took me to Buca di Beppo for a birthday lunch at Celebration. We were welcomed with smiles and a happy birthday to me. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We had fried mozzarella for appetizer and lasagna and chicken Parmesan for our meal. The Italian food is so authentic. We enjoyed the food and the service. Will visit them again!!!!!
Simply one of our favorite places to eat. We drive from Lakeland and it's worth the travel. Sure wish we had one in Lakeland. We've been eating at Buca's for nearly 20 years in both Florida and Colorado and we've never had a bad meal.
Was in the area looking for something new to find and found this new place! Decided to try the restaurant out and I am glad I did! Greeted by smiles and great food. Managment was perfect and the hospitality was phenomenal. Can't wait to try more food here!
We had a great time last night celebrating one of our family members birthday. Our server was Raven and she made everything super special. Thank you!
Love this restaurant. The server was excellent, and fast, we had our food brought out promptly
This was my 3rd time there. This time we were celebrating my 50th birthday. The food and service were great as with all the other visits. This is our go to place when we celebrate.
We were on vacation visiting Disney world as well as celebrating an anniversary and we chose to eat here. Food was excellent and service was phenomenal. They made the whole night very special. It’s hard to top the magic of Disney but the guys at Buca have proven it’s possible. We will be back on our next trip!
First time eating at the Celebration, Florida restaurant. Love the atmosphere of Buca di Beppo and the family style portions. Spaghetti with meat sauce was rich and delicious and the apple Gorgonzola salad was a meal in itself. The portions were ample. We even have enough left overs for another meal. The place was busy but my husband and I didn’t feel rushed. Audrey, our server, was the best! She was friendly, made us feel at home, and was on top of things.
It was my first visit to come celebrate a small reception/birthday dinner for my dad. Our waitress was Andrea and she was fantastic. She was friendly, recommended great dishes (and drinks), and treated the whole party with respect. She has a great personality that matched our own. High recommend Andrea for a server.
We stopped here on our last night of vacation and ended up getting Andrea as our server. She was very kind, attentive, and kept us laughing the entire time we were there. She gave my youngest daughter a hard time about paying the bill and by the end of dinner we agreed to adopt her into our family 😂. The food was delicious and everyone in our party was happy with the whole experience. Would definitely recommend visiting!
We arrived really late on a Thursday night, and thought we might not be allowed to dine in, as many restaurants actually do nowadays. However, we were pleasantly surprised with a warm welcome and a smile, and we were seated in a beautiful area of the restaurant by Susan, a charming, super nice and friendly waitress, who is also a bartender, and we have no words to describe how amazing the whole experience was. That doesn’t only include the food, which, by the way, was one of the best chicken Parmigian meals we’ve ever had. I want to make a special mention and give the well deserved compliments to Susan for her great customer service, and, especially for doing a fantastic job despite it being so late… let’s be honest: who keeps that positive and energetic attitude towards the end of your shift at work? No one does, you can rarely find such lovely spirit and charismatic personality anywhere in the first place, let alone that late when you’re almost ready to go home and tired after a long day. Also, Christina, the Manager, went above and beyond to make us feel like home. Everybody who interacted with us was just so nice that we definitely want to be back here soon, and I would definitely like to recommend this restaurant, but specifically this location, to absolutely everyone. Thank you, Christina, Susan, and the rest of the team, for providing an amazing service. That's not easy to find nowadays.
The food was good we can’t complain about anything at all!! The one thing that was outstanding was our server “Ari” she was constantly checking on us and never let our drinks run out. We will be back for sure!
We were part of our mother and husbands small wedding reception. Andrea was absolutely wonderful and patient with this crowd. She walked us through the menu and made great recommendations. Andrea did it all with an amazing smile and grace. Until next time Ciao
Comfortable seating for 2 at the bar.
Friendly service and delicious dishes.
Meghan is a RockStar behind the bar. Markers Mark and Titos with club, limes and lemonade.
Chocolate Cake Shots for dessert hit the spot.
Our family was in town visiting from NC for the weekend and we decided to come here for dinner. Our server Diannah was absolutely amazing! It was our first time and she did a wonderful job explaining the menu and the family style portions, she was very helpful in helping us decide what sizes to get and was very patient with us while we kept changing our minds. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very family friendly. We will return if we are ever in the area again. ☺️🍝
First time in this Italian Restaurant! The food was so delicious! The pasta was perfectly cooked Al dente !! I love it! Andrea the server was very nice and helpful!
The atmosphere was awesome and we loved the food! The best part was the amazing service from Tina! She was so polite and made the experience memorable so we will definitely be back soon!
The food is delicious and they serve family style, so be prepared to share. One entree will feed 2-3 people easily. It was our first time and we enjoyed the experience. I'm getting the lasagna on my next visit.
Most pleasant place to eat. Julio was an amazing server. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He treated us like family having remembered us from the last time we were there. The food was hot and filling. It was my birthday so I had the sundae which blew our minds it was so good. An enjoyable experience, indeed!
Great atmosphere and service. The food was ok. Spaghetti were a little dry more sauce aka gravy wud have been better. Parisian chicken was dry and needed to be moist and more cheese. No real Parisian offered but in the bottle like a pizza place. Otherwise I enjoyed it. The desserts were excellent.
Family fun and bonding over great and tasty food. The atmosphere is very inviting and has a touch of old-school Italian charm and nostalgia. The food is truly the star of the evening. Family style portions and honestly lots of flavor and not overly salty. From the fresh apple gorgonzola salad and lightly crispy calamari and fried mozzarella appetizers to the main entres of chicken parmasean and creamy fettuccine alfredo, everything was so good and tasty. The server Moe was very friendly and attentive. Definitely made the experience memorable, too. Highly recommend this location at Celebration, FL.
Buca is lots of fun. The décor is unique and worth the visit. Food is fresh and portions are large. The service was excellent.
It’s expensive though. $19 for a tiramisu is pricey even at that size and the “small” entrees — though generous — will set you back a bit.
Bottom line… Great place to enjoy fresh Italian food in a distinctive atmosphere. Just know you’ll be paying for it.
We honestly had no idea what to expect, but our entire table loved the meal. And despite the size of the plates, we put it all away! Big Moe was an awesome server!
Stopped here for lunch. Wasn’t busy so no wait. Had the lunch special Chicken Saltimbocca with Penne pasta. The chicken was just 1 small piece, but the pasta was a lot. Lightning is to dim, you can hardly read the menu. Good food & Good Service.
What a great experience! We love the theme and vibe of this place not truly feels like a traditional Italian restaurant from back in the day. This place is perfect for families as their menu is made to share. The portions are huge! Also Andrea took care of us and she was as absolutely delightful! She was extremely attentive to our large party and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cool experience!
This fun OG Italian American joint with lots of character and great family style meals was upstaged by the amazing server Holly. She not only gave us perfect service , but she made my son’s night with her charm and lovable personality (he is non verbal with Down Syndrome). Thanks Holly
