"Location 3: Busy Ventura Blvd in Encino, CA in SFV. Metered street parking available but hard to come by. Private lot tends to get full on weekends. Side-street parking is for residents only and requires a permit. Venue 4: Typical Buca di Beppo setting attempting to depict old Italy. It's a maze of busily decorated rooms that are reached from the reception and bar area by walking through the kitchen. The Pope table (which is at most if not all Buca's is very popular with the patrons (you can see it in the pics . The separate bar is large and friendly. They seem to attract large gatherings due to the fact that portions are huge and filling, which really works out well for large parties. Service 3: Service is about average. Friendly but not attentive. They tend to get busy with large tables and forgot about the others. We were seated in one of the rooms with two large and loud parties and as a result we got little attention from the server. Food 3: This sounds cliche, but food used to be better : Most everything comes in 2 portion sizes; Regular which can already feed 3 people or large that can feed about 5-6. Prices aren't low but again portions are huge. Dishes are American Italian comfort food (pastas and chicken mostly , nothing too fancy or sophisticated. I personally like the huge, gooey Lasagna and the Chicken Parm. Some other pastas like the Fettuccini Alfredo or the Cheese Ravioli are too saucy and overwhelming for me. Drinks 4: They have a full bar and some interesting, creative cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks. Reasonably priced. The Last Word 3: Buca is one of the places that I leave thinking I won't be coming back, but after a while I do :D A nice convenient spot to satisfy your comfort food craving. I wish they would make an effort to improve the food and service a bit."

My friends and I enjoy coming here and love using our coupons we get via email or in the mail! Their Apple Gorgonzola Salad is the best and we can't get enough! Great customer service, always a place to sit, and our food never disappoints! Attached parking lot for convenient parking and restaurant is never crowded. I would definitely recommend this place!

It had been YEARS that I have been to Bucca and my niece and nephew wanted to make a visit. It has become their favorite place. The food is always good with super generous portions. I enjoy the family Style setting so we can all taste a little bit of everything. Monse was our server and she was an absolute delight! Everything we ordered was great and we will be back.
