Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant

Food was decent but service was terrible! Server was clueless and made the dinner very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place at Bally’s.

Quite possibly the worst food I have ever had. The salad, two types of pasta, and pizza that we ordered were all subpar; definitely don’t bring anyone here that you want to impress.

I love coming here when I need a huge fix of Italian food. The chicken cuts and spaghetti are awesome. Our server was Michael he was so attentive and funny. You can tell he has the most experience there but everyone was really nice. I will definitely be back. Make sure you be careful when you order. It’s family style
so the portions are huge!

Easily the worst Italian food I’ve ever had. Ate here for a group event and was welcomed nicely at the door. Sat down to salad and bread on the table and finished it before the server came around to get my drink order. Super slow. They brought spaghetti and fettuccini, followed by chicken 10 minutes later. So bland I had to add salt, pepper, and cheese. Won’t return.

Came here for breakfast– ordered off menu. Service was lackluster. The tiniest cup of orange huice for $ 5.99. Are you kidding me— highway robbery. May try lunch/​dinner pasta menu, but would hope service improves immensely.

Great place as always. The meatballs and the pizza are the best!

Was staying at Bally’s and wanted to grab a quick breakfast one morning. I noticed a Buca di Beppo on the casino level that offered an all you can eat buffet. I was seated immediately. The waiter was courteous and efficient. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and was clean.
I opted for the buffet since that would give me the option of more variety for my meal. I had no intention of stuffing myself. The food was very nicely presented on their buffet. My problem was that most of the hot food items were not really hot. Also, the food tasted very bland, I had bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pastry, etc. Instead of being light and fluffy, the biscuits were hard and crusty.
The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was great, the buffet presentation was very nice but the food was off the mark that morning.

Pretty bad. Wait staff was horrible and food was not too great either. I waited to be acknowledged at my table forever!

This place Sucks! Not even worthy of the 1 star. Don’t waste your time. Worst service ever and they weren’t even that busy. My party and I will definitely not come back to this place. Stay away from Bally’s Buca Di Peppo. Shame cause I come here all the time when I’m in Vegas. Never again. Same thing happened to some other friends but we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for proving my friends right.

This place was yummy! You will definitely get your money’s worth here. The portions are HUGE so keep that in mind. The service was great and we did not have to wait to be seated. My tip. order the cheesecake… o…m…g!

Bottom line up front — definitely recommend, but bring your appetite the portions are — Huge.
We had the Apple Gorgonzola salad, super yummy. The menu said serves 2, but you could have probably fed 4!
Chicken stuffed (something) think it was a Ziti or something like that. Either way, it was really tasty. It came in 3 portions which was a good amount for 2 people.
The cheese cake — was super yummy! Enough said about that.
Conclusion — good food, food prices would def recommend.

The service is here is really lacking. It was really empty and we were the only ones there. We got no free bread. Our drinks took forever to come out from the bar. We got an appetizer that we didn’t even order. And the food was much too expensive for what we ate. Our server was nowhere to be found most of the time. The discount she gave us in the end just didn’t suffice. Never coming back. Such a shame to the service industry. I’m still furious about this place.

Went for breakfast. Ordered eggs Benedict, and it was the worst meal I’ve ever eaten. It was too salty, the hollandaise was very thick, and the whole meal was cold. It came with a side of undercooked cold potatoes. Service was very slow.

We were staying at Ballys and noticed that Buccaneers was one of the restaurants inside the hotel. They had a huge sign outside advertising their breakfast buffet for $ 16. We decided to try it out and it does not disappoint! My husband got the buffet while I ordered off the breakfast menu.
The Buffett: Consisted of both hot and cold food. Cold food: cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, pastries. Hot food: beacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, redskin fried potatoes, biscuits, gravy, French toast. The only thing missing was actual bread to toast. For $ 16 it is a bargain! Everything was fresh, never old or stale.
Menu food: I ordered three eggs over easy, beacon, toast and potatoes, coffee. My breakfast was perfect and everything was cooked just right! The coffee was good.
The service was great! We had a nice lady as our server (I wish we knew her name/​nice petite Asian lady with red in her hair) she was so nice and on top of everything! She was perfect!
We also had dinner there one night with some friends. The chicken parm was great and the service was great! It’s s great place to go especially after a trade show and you just want to relax and eat some hardy food.

We were attending a show at Bally’s and decided to eat at Buca Café because there were a lot of options and it was reasonable. There is a buffet but very lame for the price. I’m glad I scoped it out first. Our entrees were very good and generous (grilled chicken sandwich, lasagna), like you’d expect from a Buca property. But we ordered a mixed green salad to share for $ 14.99 and it was disappointing. It seemed to be a mix they doctored up. It was lacking alot of the vegetables mentioned on the menu. Wine prices and selection were good for the Strip. Service wasn’t the greatest, the servers didn’t seem to thrilled to be working there. Overall, worth going to if you staying there or going to a show there. Otherwise, plenty of other places on the Strip that are better.

i got there at the tail-​end of the breakfast buffet but before the lunch buffet opened. i suspect most people who go here get the buffet which might make the place a good value if you’re hungry, but this is ‘italian’ food as much as olive garden is.

We had breakfast at Bucca inside Ballys… the food was delicious. Great service by Ramon who suggested we try the bloody mary’s. Tammy was friendly and kept our coffees hot.

A breakfast buffet that would be free if you were not in Vegas. Coffee and other beverages are not included in the price, so a $ 12.99 buffet becomes $ 14.99. The french toast was good, but not that good. And it was slow and service was nonexistent.

This is a great place that we found after some wandering around the huge diversity and choice of public restaurants. Within a few days my friends and I tasted this buffet for breakfast, brunch and dinner. Very tasty and cooked with a soul! The staff is very pleasant and helpful — quick to respond to any request. Price in this buffet is economical, and also in accordance with the taste of food, we have always had a desire to come back.
We were also pleasantly surprised to find there a Cuban Man Elisio, speaking in Russian, cheerful and sociable. Thank you, Elisio, for surprise, organized to our friend for his birthday! Come and you won’t regret!

Came here for breakfast buffet included fresh fruit, oatmeal, eggs and bacon, waffles and more everything was really good food was flavorful our waiter Patrick was attentive and friendly not your average hustle and bustle very relaxed setting.

Unimpressive breakfast buffet with powdered eggs, cheap store bought sweet rolls, over cooked bacon, poor service. No coffee or tea refills one morning. Not much diversity or taste. Would not recommend

We are fans of their sister restaurant, Buca Di Beppo but we also enjoyed café buca italiano. There were 5 of us so my kids ordered from the dinner buffet and my husband and I ordered from the main menu. The buffet for the kids was pretty lackluster in terms of selection but for them it was fine. I would have been starving.
Now for the main menu I was impressed. They had a lot of similar items from Buca Di Beppo but they also had some new unique ones of their own. I started of with a chocolate vixen cocktail that had whiskey in it, but I wasn’t loving it so I ordered a Jameson on the rocks and that was much better. Our server was pleasant and happy to fix it.
We started off with a Caprese salad that was the freshest I have ever had. OMG the tomatoes and basil were so colorful and tasty! Then we had the Italian salad which I loved because it had green olives it in and it was topped with crispy prosciutto. Their dressing is incredible! Next up was the cheesy garlic bread! Delicious.
For our main entrees we had chicken picatta, garlic mashed potatoes, mac and cheese for my little one and a dessert so huge the 5 of us couldn’t even finish it! Chef Shaylee is the executive chef and she came out to check and see how we were enjoying our meal. (there was hardly anyone in the restaurant at the time) which i thought was really nice!
We would go back again for sure! There is a tequila/​taco place next door that shares a kitchen and we want to try that next time!

The Good: Buffet is decent and filling! $ 3 bloody Mary’s and mimosas.
The Bad: Waiter refused to serve alcohol to Californians if your ID is vertical. That means that even if your 23 and you have the newer ID from when you were 20 and it has not expired so you never got the horizontal one yet. Apparently it’s a rule there? Ok. The waiter never picked up any plates or checked on us. Left the check then picked it up a good 10 minutes later.
Never had a chance to ask a server for a spoon so I ate my soup with a fork…
On his defense, there were only maybe 3 servers working the whole restaurant.

We had a wonderful experience! Our server was Jacob and he was awesome! We shared the lasagna and it was soo tasty! We will definitely be back! Thank you all so much for a wonderful dinner!

I’m probably being a little generous with four stars, but the stuffed mushrooms were so freaking delicious! Service was good, fast, and friendly. The prosciutto stuffed chicken was good, not great. I’d advise against doing the buffet, which didn’t look very fresh. Order off the menu, and don’t forget the stuffed mushrooms!

4 stars for service.
3 stars for food so 3.5 seems fair.
Especially the great service from Yul, he refilled my ginger ale 3 times.
Pasta is a good sized portion, lasagna is more than satisfactory.
In the quieter part of Ballys, towards the back.
Personally I’d return as it is quite spacious too.

Came to this place on a Monday around 7pm — waited about 40 minutes before getting a table. Our waitress was great, and very attentive. Food was delicious, we had spaghetti and meatballs + a pepperoni pizza. Good place to eat with friends if you’re not trying to eat at any of the buffets or if you’re not trying to spend $$$ at a fancy restaurant.

Review of the breakfast buffet only.
Mediocre is the best I can say. The coffee is dark dark dark, which had even my dark roast-​loving companion adding an insane amount of cream. Eggs look like they started as powder which, of course they did, but you don’t have to crumble them into grains so they LOOK like powdered eggs. Fruit selection is poor. Pastry selection is okay in appearance, not so great in flavor. Bacon, sausage and yogurt are nice. French toast is nice but not warm enough. No omelet station or toast station. The Sidewalk Café that was here last time we came through was much better. Still mediocre, but slightly better value (same price, slightly better food with a bigger selection).
We had a wonderful waiter the first time and an almost-​terrible one the second, so it’s a crapshoot. Handy location is the best thing going for it.

Good:
1: They take regular Buca coupons.
2: Excellent Proseco for $ 34 a bottle.
3: Huge portion sizes.
4: Spacious setup.
5: Close to bathrooms (often a challenge with casino restaurants).
6: Nice staff!
Bad:
1: I am not a fan of Italian fare: my wife is though.

Had a light lunch off the buffet. Great food and friendly server. Good value for your buck.
Least expensive meal while in Vegas.
Would go again.

MEDIOCRE BREAKFAST. We waited our turn in line to try this place at the Ballys Hotel, on our recent trip to Las Vegas. They have a mediocre buffet for $ 13 bucks per person including coffee. Breakfast a-​la-​carte was expensive (some items were $ 17 – 21 each)
The service was slow and mediocre. Nearby tables were left dirty with dishes on them for awhile. The place had many empty tables when we arrive and the lineup out the door was not necessary. Our server came by shortly after our plates arrived with the bill in hand. He seemed to have a hard time understanding English. We felt rushed. Don’t let the lineup outside the door fool you for Breakfast. The food is very mediocre. I cannot speak about their Lunch or Dinner. It might be great! Instead, try the Bellagio Breakfast buffet. Far far far better value for the quality! :-) Oh if you do decide to try this place, we saw people take their coffee to go. So that is an option too before you check out. Just ask your server for your coffee to go and they will bring you these coffee cup containers.:)

My companion and I have attended a lot of conferences in Vegas; big conferences that provide buffet breakfast for their thousands of attendees. The included breakfasts we’ve received at these convention-​center steam tables are several times better than what we had here last Saturday.
We were looking for a place with much better reviews called «Sterling Buffet,» which appeared from our phone maps to be somewhere inside Bally’s (a hotel/​casino I’m not familiar with). But no Bally’s employees that we asked could direct us to this place. They pointed us to Buca. One pointed us to BLT Steakhouse. Several of the people we asked couldn’t even speak English. What we should have done is entered the concourse to Paris Las Vegas and noshed at the creperie or nearby bakery. But we were dumb and impatient. Friends, don’t make the same mistake we did. Turn around, and RUN, run I say, to the Paris concourse.
We waited in a fifteen-​minute line to enter this den of suck, despite the fact that anyone could see from the line that the restaurant was barely ¹⁄₃ full. As we were waiting, the hostess announced that things would be buffet-​only from here on out, no more ordering. No more waffle bar, no more omelets, no more cooked-​to-​order dishes. All right, whatever (yet another point at which we should have turned heels and run, but alas, we did not).
Multiple hostesses came and went, tapping things into the console at the hostess station, but not seating anyone. Maybe one party would get seated every five minutes. It’s got to be really hard to find available tables when more than two-​thirds of them are vacant, and it’s a buffet, so the level of waitering required is minimal. How do places like this stay open?
When we got in there, for $ 13, you get your choice of liquidy, oily scrambled eggs, bacon crumbs floating in grease at the bottom of an empty stainless serving bowl, limp hashbrowns, two dried-​out link sausages, limp French toast slices, a selection of fruit running the gamut from unripe honeydew to unripe cantaloupe cubes, and yogurt and cereal (with an empty pitcher of milk).
A waitress came over with two water glasses, one of which was cloudy at the bottom, as if still coated in dishwasher soap residue. We asked her to replace it; she did. When we were about halfway done glumly eating or shoving aside the truly gadawful prison fare that we’d salvaged from the buffet, our waiter finally bothered to come around asking if we’d like something to drink. For reasons I couldn’t tell you, he brought two more waters, so we now had four water glasses on the table. Unlike any other breakfast buffet I’ve ever been to, including in Europe, coffee was an additional $ 2 charge. He brought two cups of it, though only one of us ordered it, and charged for the unused cup (he did remove it from the bill upon request).
The flatware was dirty and spotted; I scraped a tomato seed off my fork; the spoon was filthy and unusable. I asked for a replacement, but it never came. My companion’s spoon was dirty, too, so I ended up just wiping down and using the spoon handle to stir my coffee.
This place… it’s where hope goes to die. Don’t do it, folks.

I had a gift card from work for a Buca restaurant. Went to one time, and only one time, 15 years ago in Kansas. Terrible food, but I figured it was a free quick dinner in Vegas, so why not? They can’t screw up a pizza too badly, can they?
Restaurant is insanely large. Looks nice inside, and very clean. They seemed to have some sort of buffet toward the rear of the massive section of the dining rooms we were in.
One of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had. Like a slab of floppy cardboard with a sheet of plasticy cheese. Chewy crust, and flavorless sauce. We certainly downed the entire pie because we were 11 sheets to the wind, but the entire time we we there I was trying to wrap my mind around why anyone would seek out this restaurant when in Vegas. However, the beer special was surprisingly good ($ 3 Modelos), though. Can’t even buy a beer from a liquor seller on the Strip for that much!
Service was good. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Dig that. Food also came out fast, thought the restaurant was nearly empty on a Sunday night. But even solid service can’t make up for dismal cuisine…
