Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Thousand Oaks - 205 N Moorpark Rd, USA

So I was chatting with a pal who's a Record producer and song writer from the Entertainment Industry.. He wanted to discuss a few topics over dinner and he could not think of a place to eat at. I recommended this eatery.. because I dined at a location up in San Jose, California many years ago. This location is in the Janns MALL in Thousand Oaks CA. Parking was easy.. despite the fact that this mall is a popular location for restaurants, shopping and a Gold's gym. We were seated rather quickly and our table was near the kitchen area. This chain is very popular due to the location and Italian food is still a favorite of mine. The manager and the server were very friendly to us. We started out with a Vodka and I ordered Chianti. Then we ordered a salad, that had a mixture of salami, yellow peppers , purple onions, lettuce, tomatoes. The dressing is to die for ..not to bitter,or watery. My friend did not want dressing in our salad. Our meals consisted of me ordering Ravioli, My friend ordered pasta , mozzarella chicken Alfredo..I also ordered fried calamari. The meal was so delicious "!!! Yes... I will most certainly come back to THIS location. The location in San Jose California..the food wasn't that great.. This location serves large portions and you are well fed. The Cook's we're on their A-Game. .. Let me describe the location...when you step in you feel like you are at a Italian museum...the pictures.. artifacts give you that feel ..as if you stepped back to the 1950's-1980's . Lastly before we left..I needed to go to the ladies powder room. Well check this out.. the bathroom..reminded me of an Italian Grandma's bedroom. Again I don't recall the location in San Jose, California. Looking anything like this.. but I departed truly happy and with a satisfied tummy. I enclosed some pictures and my apologies for not sharing additional images. My pal..is an Old school Recording Industry individual and he doesn't understand the fuss about a review"?. Unless it aquates to his work and an artist he's worked with"?? . My point..we were talking so much and I didn't want to offend him. By taking too many photos,,while he discussed the legal issues with recording contracts, touring,etc Finally this is a perfect location for families,first dates, engagements and birthday parties. Nothing was out of order and the service was up to my friends standards. Normally he eats in pricey eateries in Malibu and Beverly hills CA. Enjoy 🍝🍷 Happy Holidays.. 🦃.

We were astonished how beautiful and atmospheric this place is. From the outside this was not visible. Our waiter Enrique was extremely nice. The lunch offers are extremely excellent value for money. Huge size and delicious. And in the end we got one lunch for free. We were so pleasantly surprised. Five stars plus!!!!

What a great place to have family night. Right when we walked we were welcome in. Juan was our server, he was amazing and attentive. The food was so good. We will definitely be back thanks Buca!!!

Great place to dine get that Italian feeling. Took my family and friends here. My Italian friend gave it the big thumb on the dishes. It's a bit pricey, but the portion sizes are huge, so expect that coming in here. The food is great, my only complaint is that spaghetti but that's because I like it when the sauce is cooked with pasta not poured on afterward. So, it's not really a negative, just a personal preference. Service was a bit slow but It's a big restaurant. I can't really blame them. Overall, if you have a big party or group of friends or want to take someone on a date, this place is recommended 👌

A wonderful Italian food experience. Good selection of tasty Italian dishes. The walls are filled with antique photos of different people from various landscapes of life. The dishes are huge portions meant to be shared. Their "small" plate can feed 3 and a large can go up to 5. So keep that in mind when ordering dishes.

Best place to satisfy a giant carb craving. Fun atmosphere, food and service. Warning: 1 person should not try and eat the whole spaghetti and meatballs by themselves. It's 1 pound of meat plus a mountain of pasta. Tasted great but I'm so full!

For the first time I visited the restaurant and was very impressed with the food. I ordered the chicken carbonara, which was exceptionally delicious. The sauce was creamy and pasta was cooked to perfect. Juan was very kind and courteous. Manager Oscar created a very positive dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Italian meal. Overall It was a wonderful night spent good with my family in a wonderful restaurant.

Buca is an amazing place where everyone can get together the whole area is filled with novelty items that look super cool!, the portions are Huge! We ordered a small and it and was enough for our group of 7 to enjoy! The atmosphere is amazing and the workers who worked with us Juan and Bryan were constantly checking on us and made us feel super welcome! We can't want to return and have some more good times! -Anthony A
