Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant - Claremont, California

PIZZA was the best for the price. We got the spicy arrabbiata. It had a lot of protein on it and the crust was good.

The entrees were on the expensive side but they were good and serving was generous. Wish they had other meat choices though. They don’t have pork and beef. Just seafood and chicken.

The LASAGNA was the worst for $40. Order this if you want to be obese. 😛 It was like i was eating a boxed, instant pasta. It got no soul. I didn’t even taste the meat. No flavor at all. Fake sauce, fake cheese.

In other restaurants, bread is usually complimentary but here, you have to pay for it and it’s not cheap.

The service was good though so I guess you’re paying for the ambience and good service ! Lol wish the food was better though for the full experience.

Ho ho ho! Happy holidays :). First time here and we all liked our visit. It was a full house as waiter mentioned reason why our food was longer waits. We thought the wait time was reasonable. Our waiter Sam made great recommendations and his service was on point.The portions are big and leave plenty for leftovers. We had sides for starters with the Brussels sprouts & prosciutto 10/10 & mozzarella garlic bread 10/10. For main dishes we had the eggplant parmigiana 10/10, prosciutto stuff chicken 7/10 & chicken carbonara 8/10. For drinks we had cucumbersome 10/10, Roman tiki 10/10, rum punch bowl 9/10, Pom blossom martini 6/10. We chose tiramisu for dessert 6/10. Overall we had a nice evening and a great time. They also had a photographer on site with a complimentary picture , how cool ! See you next time!!!

You smell the food from outside!! Great for birthday celebrations!! They give you huge candles, desert, serenade, signs, wall name recognition, pictures, and a family atmosphere. The portions are huge! And the design setting is fun. My 30 year old sister loved it as she loves Italian food! Great birthday dinner!

Lasagna was great and feeds up to 2 people for a small size. I love the fried calamari and they give large portions because they cater to family size. Minus one star only because It is fairly expensive here.

The first time here and service was on point, my family brought us here to celebrate two birthdays, and it was totally worth it. Food was memorable, delicious, and satisfying. Food was like family.

Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, and pizza were my favorites, and the stuffed mushrooms are a must. My family will be back. There is so much more to try...

We ordered a large baked Ragatoni and a small order of Mozzarella Caprese. Food was good. It came with house bread that was warm and crispy. Atmosphere was perfect. Totally recommend Buca👌

We had the pleasure of being served by Sunday, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we sat down, her positive vibe and enthusiasm were infectious. Not only is she incredibly friendly, but she also had us laughing throughout the meal.

As first-timers, we weren’t sure what to order, but Sunday was super helpful in recommending delicious options. Everything we tried was a solid 10/10—flavorful and generously portioned.

Our dining experience was excellent, and it’s largely thanks to Sunday and the quality of the food. She turned what was already a great night into a perfect one. We will definitely be coming back, and we have Sunday to thank for that!

We were here for Christmas Day and there were 7 of us. They serve Family Style...meaning large servings. Their small plates can serve 3 people and the large plate can serve the neighborhood. Bella was our server and a joy. Get a reservation...be early (not late or you might lose your spot). We are going back to this one in a month or so, but definitely going back! Go with an appetite! 😉
