Buca Di Beppo was amazing throughout our whole process! Communication was great, and the night of the rehearsal dinner I was extremely impressed! We walked in to find we had a whole back room for all of our friends and family. We sat down, and immediately bread and salad came out. They were very quick at refreshing drinks, taking drink orders, and clearing the table for more food. Only thing, is I wish the food didn’t come out so quickly one after another. I would prefer more time between salad and meals! BUT, salad was phenomenal, and the pasta was all delicious, fresh, and warm! We brought a grooms cake, but got dessert with our meal and even with cake the cannolis were not passed up! Great food and customer service. We were extremely happy with how everything turned out.

Our experience as a whole was amazing! A few things about our time there in particular; of course COVID put a damper on everything and we were told, as bride and groom, we weren’t allowed to walk to our table where our guests were awaiting our arrival because our guests had our masks, my group of 21 people had to be split up between 3 completely separate tables (which when you want people to meet-&-greet and talk amongst each other and they can’t, that’s not necessarily ideal,) and my connection with one of the event’s managers was a bit difficult as he stopped replying to my emails while I was trying to finalize reserving the banquet room and give information. Other than that, the staff was friendly, welcoming, the food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the timing of the switch of food was perfect! Would still recommend Buca’s!

I booked my bridal shower in January for 4/14/18. When I called on the day off to add to my party I found out that the reservation was never made which I had an email confirmation for it. I was told that Buca could not accommodate me unless it was a party of 15 or less. The manager Justin stated that there was no time available and my party had to get there 30 mins early or they would be turned away. Plus, my food would take a little longer than usual. I was devastated. I just found my dress and was so excited to celebrate with friends and family. My maid of honor went online and made a reservation for 20 people 10 mins after the original reservation. Justin called her and asked if she was part of my party, she said no. He said great we will see you then. I am so disappointed! I ended up having my shower at home and my guest had to go out and buy food and stuff. It was a disaster and I will never go back there. Oh, and to top it off if there was no reservations I don't understand how Justin knew my fiance's name.

Fantastic place for the rehearsal dinner! We had an area to ourselves so no other random people bothered us and it wasn't loud from being a restaurant. Our server Heather did an amazing job at keeping up with us and never let our drinks be empty! Food was delicious and we had a bunch to take home as well! Overall a great place for a rehearsal dinner!

Buca did a wonderful job catering our Rehearsal dinner. We did not have our rehearsal dinner at Buca so it was delivered to us. They were on time and the food was wonderful!

We went to buca di beppo for our rehearsal dinner and it was awesome! You have a lot to choose from and it is a three coarse meal. The staff was amazing and the food was awesome. Any left overs were packaged up so that guests could take home any part of the meal. We had a very secluded area where we felt free to mingle without disturbing other guests.

We held our rehearsal dinner for 34 guests here recently and had a wonderful time! The coordinator we worked with was great, responded quickly and very easy to work with. They gave us flexibility with the menu and sat us in the room we requested. We loved having a private area and had plenty of room to mingle. The food was delicious and the service was great. We did an open bar and had no problems at all. They made it easy for us and everything went perfectly!

This place is great for a family friendly casual environment with great food! Planning the menu was very easy and the sales manager was there to answer any questions for us. We planned really far in advance and went and had dinner there and they showed us the room we would be in. The night of the rehearsal, we weren't in that room. Apparently they just gathered a bunch of tables and grouped us together but we were scattered in the room. We expressed our concern that this was not the room we had booked so that was the only disappointment. Otherwise food quality was outstanding, service was friendly and prompt, and the manager on duty gave everyone a free glass of champagne since they had messed up the room so overall it was good.

Jaime at Rookwood's Buca was so easy to work with. We chose this venue as we had children and adults at the Rehearsal Dinner. The food worked for everyone and the kids had as much fun as the adults. Great food, great fun and a good value.
