Reviews for Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant in Utica, MI
We booked a family dinner for 40 guests 2 days before our meeting date. With the assistance of very friendly staff a preset menu... was created to accommodate all guests to consider children, vegetarian, and dairy free restrictions. The food was fresh, delicious and very plentiful. Everyone was very happy to have food to take home. Thank you to the staff for making sure ourfamily gathering was a beautiful celebration! Salute!

This was our first time dining at Buca di Beppo. Great experience. We had Denise as our server. She was so sweet and helpful.... She kept checking on us throughout the meal. We ordered the quatro platter and thought the stuffed shells had only cheese,turns out they had suasage in them. We dont eat pork. The menu didnt specify what they're stuffed with and I didn't ask. Regardless, she got us a vegetarian platter immediately. The pasta platter did have a couple spots of dry pasta due to nothaving sauce, cheese, or any type of oil/butter on them. Still, it was pretty delicious and plentiful. The ceaser salad wasfantastic! The house bread was fresh but boring (no butter, cheese, or seasoning on it, but the olive oil n balsamic vinegarthat came with it made it tasty. Pricing is a lil heavier since the portions are meant for 2 - 3. We will definitely be backwith the family since they are family portions! Thanks Denise for making our first visit great! P.s, to whomever is in charge@ Buca, I suggest to specify where and what type of meat there will be in your food since your location is in a culturallydiverse area that caters to various non meat/pork consuming patrons, religions, vegans, vegetarians, etc... Also, i see theother reviewers complaing about dry pasta as well... please look into it. Read more
Definitely won't be back here anytime soon. A real quantity over quality place it seemed. That is their thing though massive... quantities for groups of three or more people. If there's only two of you definitely plan on taking a good amount of food home.We basically got a sampler and our pasta had several issues, parts of it was dry and hard crunchy, one of the pieces I had had afishy taste to it and had obviously come into contact with something fishy it seemed. You can see a really dry and crispystuffed shell in the one photo. When speaking to the manager we were told it had only chicken in it. The manager also told ushow the individual who owns the restaurant chain likes to go around and buy out restaurants that are having difficulties andgoing through bankruptcy, I thought that was something that could have been kept to himself was kind of a weird thing to bragabout. Other than that I never knew a little olive oil and some balsamic came together so well for dipping bread in. The placeis also really well decorated and very compartmentalized, there are a lot of individual rooms which make it pretty cool, feltlike a maze when we were being walked to our table! Read more

We placed an order a day in advance. We came and had drinks at the bar early. Brooklyn was great and She made strong drinks. We... asked Brooklyn to check on our to go order. However, 45 min after our pick up time and multiple times of checking in the orderthey said they were very short staffed and were running behind. When we finally got home to eat our food the ziti was very dryand didn't have much marinara. They shrimp penne didn't have much shrimp. The lasagna was also very dry. Wouldn't recommendgetting food to go, especially on a holiday. We also witnessed people being at the bar for 20 min, never getting server andseated without beverages. Read more
