Best Italian Restaurants in Garden Grove / Westminster

What an amazing experience from the time we arrived and were greeted by the Reception staff to Chef Bruno in the lobby greeting guests as they come in, this was by far the best experience we have had at any restaurant! We arrived early and were welcome to take photos of the beautiful restaurant and grab a drink at the upstairs bar. My husband had a California Cab and I had a berry Mojito, a special on the menu. The mojito was the best I have ever had! What a great start! We were seated at a quaint table for two and provided water and rolls immediately. We ordered the Volcano Roll for appetizers and it arrived very shortly after. The roll was 6 pieces and I wish there were more because it was so delicious! We ordered our entrees next, I ordered the Blackened Ahi and my husband had the Petite Filet. Both arrived quickly and were presented well. The Blackened Ahi was absolutely fantastic and my husband’s filet was melt-in-your-mouth good! We had the privilege of speaking with Chef Bruno one more time. Brian was so delightful to talk to and engaged in conversation with us. We never felt rushed, and after we ordered the soufflé (definitely order this early in your meal), we were told it would take 20 mins to make. It seemed like it was just minutes and it was at our table. This was the absolute best dessert we have ever had! Our meal was amazing, the staff was amazing, and the restaurant was decorated in the holiday spirit. Such an awesome experience! I’m so glad we came and would come back again in a heartbeat!

Excellent service , fresh hot foods, clean bathrooms , lovely applicable decor.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 AMAZING Early Birthday Dinner at Buca di Beppo! OMG, where do I even start?! I just had the BEST early birthday dinner with family and friends at Buca di Beppo, and it was unforgettable. My son treated me like a Queen, and the love from everyone there was absolutely overwhelming. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such incredible people—and equally lucky to have had Ash and Tina taking care of us! If you want the BEST service from the most amazing humans on the planet, Ash and Tina are IT. They made the whole experience even more special. I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! 💕 Now let’s talk about the food—wow. Everything was delicious and so filling we couldn’t finish it all, and there were 8 of us! LOL. Here’s what we devoured: HUGE Meatballs (like half-pounders!) 🍝 A giant Caesar salad 🥗 Two baskets of garlic cheese bread 🧄🍞 Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Rigatoni 🍝 Starters: fried mozzarella, calamari, and spicy shrimp 🦐🧀 But the showstopper? The biggest Happy Birthday dessert I’ve ever seen in my life! Picture this: a gigantic martini glass (no exaggeration—10x the size of a regular one) filled with fudge, 3 massive scoops of chocolate ice cream, 3 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles, and SIX brownies. It was so over-the-top that we were all laughing and in awe—it literally took all 8 of us to eat it. We had such an amazing time—everyone left happy, full, and with the ittus. Plus, we all have tons of leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch or day off. Thank you, Buca di Beppo, for making my early birthday celebration so memorable. Can’t wait to come back! 🎉🍝💕

The staff was great and the came in a timely manner! Plus they took pictures of our group, which was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Busy and the staff did seem to struggle getting drinks out. Seemed to possibly have too many tables seated at the same time.
