" Had a lovely family dinner here! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. We ordered various dishes, including pizza and pasta, and everything was flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our meals came out. It's a great option for families looking for a big meal after a fun day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Buca di Beppo is a family favorite, especially for special occasions. The service is always top-notch, and our server went out of their way to ensure we had a great meal. The chicken parmesan was good, though the pastas can be hit or miss in terms of flavor. Still, the family-style portions never disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Buca di Beppo after a long day, and it was a surprise delight! The pizza was enormous, and we couldn't finish it all. The drinks were refreshing, and our waiter was very personable. The mood was upbeat—perfect for unwinding. A bit on the pricey side, but I think worth it given the experience and fun we had. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my kids here during our Universal trip, and they loved it! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. We ordered a couple of pizzas and pasta, and the kids couldn't believe the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, but the desserts were the real stars! We might have to recreate a family night at home based on our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful! My family visited while on a trip to Universal, and we all loved the food. The spaghetti was so authentic, and I felt right at home. The decor was warm and inviting, filled with memories of Italy. I can't recommend Buca enough for delicious cuisine packed with flavor. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was okay, but I feel like I didn’t quite experience what I hoped for with Italian cuisine. The food was tasty, but I had a hard time distinguishing it from other American-Italian places I’ve tried. Still, the large plate sizes and good service might bring me back if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Buca has become one of my go-to spots when my family visits Universal Studios. The staff is attentive, and the food is always plentiful. The only downside is the slight inconsistency in the flavors between visits. Regardless, the vibrant atmosphere and the family-style menu make it a fun dining experience. Their tiramisu is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)
