Bertucci's Italian Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Columbia - 9081 Snowden River Pkwy, USA

About a week ago, I walked in here curious to try this place out. Didn't realize it was Happy Hour and ordered a ton of appetizers knowing I was working long hours and late the next couple of days. My bartender suggested everything. I got meatballs, mozzarella fritta, and Tuscan wings. All very tasty. And plenty leftover without having to cook or anything. A must try!

Our family just celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday party (in Korean tradition it is called the "dohl" birthday) and it is a big deal. It often includes well over 30 guests, and for us that means closer to 150 guests. Bertucci's was the perfect venue for us to celebrate this special occasion. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I could look out and see the entire restaurant floor space -- PERFECT! The guests could all sit in a large space where you felt like you were in a large dining hall but with beautiful wood accents around the room, warm lighting, and a cozy feel like you just came to the family cabin. You also have that brick oven pizza, so the warm flow of fires in the oven. And the menu options -- as expected -- were pizza and pasta of all varieties of flavors. There is also a private room, which has large glass windows around it as well as on the doors that lead to it, so your guests in the private room can have their privacy and quiet without feeling isolated from the rest of the restaurant. Not to mention there is a lovely fireplace in that private room and a flatscreen television, which you could hook up your HDMI cable to for streaming a movie or show for any young guests in your party. This private space can accommodate easily 30 adults very comfortably, but we ended up using this room for the main ceremonial table which is called the "dohl sang" -- the company we used for that "Han sang, dohl sang" took care of all our ceremonial and decorate table areas which fit perfectly into the main waiting space in front of the host's station upon entering the restaurant. Again, more than enough room for everything that you needed. We ended up doing a restaurant buy-out, which is based on a minimum food cost -- separate catering menu available. The price was as expected, but comparable with our alternative option -- and probably a lot cheaper than some of the pricier restaurants in the area. When it came down to it, the alternative option for us was to rent a hall space which would have tables and chairs included in their cost, but then we would have to get another vendor for catering, would have to buy our own cutlery, plates, cups, table center pieces, table covers for all of the guest tables plus the serving tables (which would have to be buffet style), and determine how we would play music in the background, etc. For a few hundred dollars more, all of that would be take care of by the restaurant -- by Bertucci's -- and they would even serve the food, and do all of the setup of the tables as well as clean up once the event was over. Just cannot beat that! Throughout the entire process leading up to the event, the managers Ocho and Jared were very responsive, easy to communicate with, and made sure that our whole party was taken care of. Even on the morning of, last minute complications by one of the vendors barely made us skip a beat, and we had, what our guests were referring to as, an amazing and well organized and beautifully decorated event! This could not have been possible without Ocho, Jared and the whole Bertucci's Columbia team, including the busboys, cooks, and servers -- everyone played a pivotal part and helped make our daughter's birthday party memorable and perfect. Even if you don't plan to do a whole restaurant buyout, the service and communication that we experienced was great that we will definitely come back for any large party events. And with a large family, it's very possible we'll be back multiple times. Therefore, I strongly recommend this location and restaurant for anyone having a birthday, graduation, business event, reunion, networking event, wedding, or any other special occasion. You will not be disappointed so long as Ocho and Jared are assisting. Thank you again, Ocho and Jared!

This use to my one of the favorite restaurant when the existed in NJ. My daughter and me we missed this one in NJ. While passing from DC to NJ noticed they still exist and went for family Dinner. Still same rolls and oil dip and amazing eggplant pizza. No change in taste. Hope they return someday in central NJ. Service - was not excited as person taking care of table kept dissappearing for while. After first round of oil dip he mentioned they are out of OIL dip and this was aorund 7 or 8 PM. He forgot to bring kids pasta and claimed we forgot and he assume 1 pasta plate will be shared between 4 kids (age 5 to 13)

Waiter took a while to come by after we got seated. He had to be reminded of the salads we ordered. Came to check on us after we were clearly done. Took a while to get our check. Food was surprisingly tasty. Prices were a bit pricey though for the quality of food. On par with a sub/pizza shop that also happens to have pasta dishes.

I'm glad to say that Bertucci's still is an excellent choice for lunch. This is my first visit in several years and I ordered a lunch special which included a salad, a pizza with my choice of two toppings and hot bread fresh out of the oven. The food was served quickly. The service is excellent and the food was delicious. I had a small pizza with sweet Italian sausage and pineapple. Yes, pineapple does taste good with pizza and my wife had a margarita pizza. We both had the regular house salad. I had the Italian dressing she had the balsamic. A a feeling lunch for a reasonable price under $15 for lunch.

We enjoyed our meal here. I recommend everyone to try this place. Appetizer and pizza were so delicious. Nice environment. Hansel was the best waiter and very attentive. Always approach the table with smile.

Bertucci's is a family-friendly chain restaurant that serves classic Italian dishes like pizza, pasta, and salads. They also have a bar that serves cocktails, wine, and beer. I recently went to Bertucci's with my family and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We started with the Mozzarella Fritta, which is breaded and pan-fried mozzarella cheese served with pomodoro sauce and fresh basil. It was a great appetizer and the perfect way to start our meal. For the main course, we had pizzas and pastas, and my daughter had ravioli from the kids' menu. Overall, we had a great experience at Bertucci's. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I would definitely recommend Bertucci's to anyone looking for a good Italian meal

My husband and I tried to enjoy a leisurely Sunday afternoon lunch on December 17, 2023, around 1pm. The food and service, as always, was great. The atmosphere, however, was another matter. The party room (which has doors, but also an open ceiling) was occupied by an extremely loud, raucous group of women. Management tried to do their due diligence, and asked them to keep it down several times. This worked for awhile, but needed to be repeated periodically. Having a conversation while eating was pretty much impossible. I definitely recommend this restaurant on its food and service... but if you walk in for a table and see a group in the party room (which is right near the entrance) turn around and walk out!
