If you are looking for an Italian Restaurant in Albuquerque, NM then come to Buca. Our Italian Restaurant serves Authentic Family Style Italian Food. The best Italian restaurant in Albuquerque, NM is conveniently located just south of Coronado Center on America’s Parkway.
Had a birthday lunch at our home so we could linger playing a murder mystery game. I called our Albuquerque, Buca di Beppo and Maia took my order, helped me sort out portion sizes, helped me arrange for pickup of my order, and overall, completely set me up. Maia made the process smooth and easy, was kind, friendly helpful, and most of all professionally competent and accommodating to my needs. Kudos to her for going the extra mile, sending regards and a "happy birthday" with the order.
The food was great; a friend commented that my favorite, the Chicken Marsala is not generally something she orders, but really liked the Buca version of that classic. The Fra Diavlo was fantastic, as usual. Loved everything , and will keep it in mind for future gatherings. We had the best time! Huge shout out to Maia!

Overpriced and frankly bland tomato sauce. The ground beef meatballs taste disgusting. So their spaghetti and meatballs taste gross. Not worth the money. Didn't taste good. I won't recommend to anyone unless you have more more than sense. Small portions, big prices. Never again

Very delicious salads and pastas…. The environment is cozy BUUUUT. Lemme tell you something…. U better ask for BRIANNA as your server. She is the meaning of service and professionalism… I have aten in many fine dining restaurants and didn’t get that kind of treatment…. From Beverly Hill to New York , she is one of my favorite servers.
Cheers to this place for her.

Friendly, excellent, customer service on the part of Reyes, our waiter and Edgar, the chef who came out to our table with our food order.
This was our first visit. My sister and I missed lunch by 20 mins so had to order dinner which was pricey. Had we known the portions were so big, we would have shared. Atmosphere is great, but too many decorations all over the walls and lots of turns down various hallways to your table. Our waiter got super busy with a huge tour group that arrived by bus. He still managed to wait on us, and seeing what happened there, we assurred him we were patient which he appreciated. We did have to wait awhile to order dessert to go because the large tour group all decided to get up and leave after they had already sat down and ordered, so staff including our waiter had to clean and reset everything after they began to leave. For the inconvenience, chef Edgar brought us free scoops of ice cream with sprinkles and a cherry, and the staff provided us with an additional gift card for a future visit discount. Overrall we enjoyed our food and dining experience and would recommend it to others.

If I could give 0 star I would. I walked in for dinner this evening. The hostess sat us way behind to the back. I asked for another table. He simply said "NO" no explanation like "oh sorry it s so and so section or reservation only" which s fine but kinda rude. Anyhow after 15 minutes waiting for a server or someone or anyone, no one shows up to ask us for drink , appetizers nothing. I saw a group of servers in the kitchen just chit-chating. Well, my husband and I walked out. Seem like they dont need our business.
