Editorial Review for Buca di Beppo – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
From the Italian language tapes in the bathroom to the three-liter bottles of Chianti on every table, the vibe here is exaggerated Italian-American kitsch. Boisterous, sprawling dining rooms are modeled after supper clubs of the '40s and '50s--servers holler, kitchen doors swing, and Sinatra rules the stereo. High-carb, red-sauced southern Italian cooking dominates the menu. And everything is big: Platters are piled impossibly high with baseball-sized meatballs balancing on mountains of spaghetti.

For starters our server suggested a glass of the house wine, we got 2 glasses and my glass tasted like colored water. We then ordered our salad and at no time was offered any house bread so we ordered a garlic bread with cheese. Our children had finished eating their food for about 15+ minutes before we got our food. We then noticed that the table behind us got a order of house bread with oil and vinegar delivered to them. We asked and they replied that we didn't get it because we ordered our own bread. I informed our server that we ordered it because we weren't offered any house bread! We were then offered some bread and it was brought to us without the oil and vinegar sides. After my spouse finished her meal she gave me the remaining portion of her wine to finish. Wow, I couldn't believe how much more flavor her glass had than mine did. Obviously the bottle had settled and I was served the top watered down portion of the bottle! Overall we were very dissatisfied with the service and timeliness of the meal, this all during their early dinner hours when they aren't even busy yet! $100 for what???? NEVER AGAIN!!!!! AND I MEAN NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: Consistent with the bad service.
Cons: Terribly bad service!

Walked up at 6:30 pm and promptly were seated. Incredible interior...loads of pictures and fun things. Hostess took us through the kitchen (optional 'tour'). Our waitress was top shelf...turns out she is a corporate trainer and we can see why! Food was just incredible!! We learned we ordered wayyyy too much! Great doggie bag fodder! Treat yourself to something unique and price worthy in the near Waikiki area. I will definately recommend this restaurant to all tourists....for once they won't be ripped off and treated rudely like so many eateries near Waikiki. (I work in Waikiki and hear HORROR stories from tourists paying $40-60 per meal and getting zero value and service) Check your Discover bonuses....$20 gets you a $25 gift card to Buca's!!
Pros: Great food, service, atmosphere, easy parking (free!!)
Cons: Got a little noisy as the room filled. Two birthday parties so we just sang along with them!
