Some people would wonder why on earth I gave them a 5 star review when I ended up serving take out food in my dirty home for my rehearsal dinner... Allow me to explain.
So our cor...
respondence with Buca was absolutely wonderful. We have a location that was central to all of our wedding party in Lombard, IL. Perfect!! Everything was on scheduled as planned. We went in to our rehearsal and came out 45 mins before dinner to a voicemail. Our coordinator was calling me to tell me that she was deeply sorry they could not serve us this evening because of events that were COMPLETELY out of their control (I'm paraphrasing of course)... At first I was really upset, naturally, but after a few minutes of deep breaths and clear thinking I figured out it was going to be okay. At least I wasn't going to have to serve everyone crappy food. They gave us the opportunity to still get food from them (at a discount, obviously). The staff was apologetic and offering nothing but well wishes for us and thanking us for being so understanding. The food was absolutely incredible! And the best part was everyone was happy in our home with full bellies! So I give them a great review, because the circumstances of why I ended up with dinner at my house are not their fault, but the happiness of everyone attending was. Thanks to Buca De Beppo Lombard!
I chose Buca di Beppo for my rehearsal dinner because I love their food. We had salad, chicken marsala, spaghetti, cheese raticotti, and cheesecake with bread and red/white wines ...
for around 30 people. It was delicious, as always, but we had a few issues with their service and hospitality. When I initially booked my rehearsal dinner, I did it through corporate and I had to fax our contract several times because the person who was working with me left the company and never forwarded any of our information to the Wheeling location. After that, I felt like I needed to verify everything with the staff in Wheeling. I specifically said that I didn't know how long our rehearsal would last at our church in Arlington Heights, therefore I didn't know what time we would arrive for dinner. They never mentioned that the time would be an issue. We called when we were on our way and said that we were running about 30 minutes late (reservation started at 6pm). When we arrived for dinner at 6:30, the staff introduced themselves and went over the meal. I asked if there was anything else they needed to go over, and they said that at 8pm if we were not finished eating dinner, then we would... A.) be kicked out, B.) charged for going over the time limit of 2 hours for a large party, C.) not allowed to take home leftovers, D.) be charged an additional fee, E.) Any or all of the above. I was pretty mad hearing this news because no one told me it before the actual event, and most of my guests were still running late at that time. I had my mom talk to the manager and they retracted this requirement and apologized for everything...BUT still make sure you know that they could do this to you. They also topped off our drinks WAY too much and I think that's how we conveniently had to keep ordering more bottles of wine. I will always go back their for dinner, but I would not recommend having a large party there.
It was really nice because they have the secluded rooms, so we were all together, over 60 people and it was easy to talk to everyone. Also, the food was excellent!
GREAT food! Everyone felt comfortable and was full when they left. Their reisling was very good.;If you're looking for fine dining, this is not the place. This is for a casual a...
nd fun alternative.
