    Came here for dinner last week to take advantage of the happy hour bar specials.  Drinks and food were solid, but not great.  We have eaten here before and enjoyed ourselves, and there was nothing off-putting whatsoever on this visit.  I will say the regular dinner menu is pricy for standard Italian fare, however.

    Not exactly the most modern restaurant.. ok so it's probably the least modern.. but it's freaking delish!  

    I've been going to Bucci's for about a  year now since I was turned onto it by my significant other.. We've gone a few times, one with other people a few, and have NEVER had a bad dish.  

    The dishes we have are usually some type of Pasta (ravoli, lasgna, chicken parm) and a delicious cut of steak.  I'm not really the steak eater, so I can't comment but he never complains.  I always love my pasta, the sauce is delicious, the bread is yummy (that garlic butter is life changing), and the service is attentive.  

    The only negative's we have are the somewhat lacking options for the bar (we've got some specific vodkas we like that they don't stock), and sadly I wish it were more updated.

    This is the place you have your parents take you when they come to town as a B-W student. It is also a popular place to have a nice graduation lunch. The food is tastey and there is a classy feel to the place.

    My graduation lunch was here, and the spotlight was quickly stolen as it turned into my sister's engagement lunch.

    weeeeeep wommmmmmmmmmmmmp.

    I recently was housesitting for a friend in Berea. I have been to the Bucci's on Hilliard in Rocky River a few times and the pizza shop in Middleburg. I trust the Bucci family recipes. Before my friend and his wife left for California, they took me to dinner at Bucci's in Berea. The complimentary bread and garlic herb butter is good. I ordered the chicken parm and it had two big breasts of chcken. They were cooked to perfection. It is the best chicken parm in Cleveland, in my humble estimation. The sauce here is terrific, and reminds me of my Tancredi family recipe (slightly altered by my mother). My friend ordered the gnocchi and I can't remember what his wife had! Everyone enjoyed their meals very much. My father came into town for Christmas and on his last night I took him out to Bucci's for his farewell sendoff. He usually orders veal parmesan at Italian restaurants. He said that he prefers this to the dish of the same name, but prepared at the Hilliard restaurant. In an email to me he wrote, "Bucci's Berea...supplied the best veal parm I've had". This restaurant is probably my favorite Italian restaurant in the Cleveland area. The service is some of the best service that I have experienced recently.

    Another diamond in the rough amongst the not so great cusine of the Cleveland area. We enjoyed the atmosphere, fast & friendly service, and exquisite Italian food. I am full blooded Italian from a very traditional family who has secret passed down recipies of their own. So I KNOW good Italian when I taste it. After being not so impressed with a few tries of the overpriced "commercial" Italian food now served in Little Italy I decided to give it one more shot here and we finally found a winner.

    I literally cannot stop ordering the lasagna here. It's better than my moms and that's saying quite a bit! Every time I walk in the door with the intention of trying something else on the menu... then I smell the lasagna or see someone else ordering it and that's all she wrote.

    A few negatives for example the deserts are a tad on the small side and are very unremarkable despite having a variety of them to choose from. Also the very first time we went there the waitress spilled an entire glass of ice cold water directly on my crotch. NOT ENOUGH to prevent me from enjoying that world class lasagna though! A++

    Place was stuffy and felt like I walked into grandma's house.  Probably great for an older crowd.  Food was average.  Service was great.

    We went for lunch, so we don't know what dinner is like yet.

    The food was very enjoyable, the service was prompt and friendly. The menu lacks child-friendly selections (one of our boys wants Macaroni and Cheese everywhere!), but the kids were still satisfied with what they ended up getting... though, it was expensive feeding the boys (ages 5 & 8) from an adult-priced menu.

    I agree with Laurie A.'s assessment that the food is more comfort food than gourmet, but that is exactly what our family prefers!

    Excellent menu options, great service, romantic lighting, huge portions, and all around great atmosphere. It is a little pricey but worth it. I used to take nice dates there to impress them lol. It is perfect for a romantic diner. I usually get Chicken Marsala and it is amazing, plus you get two full chicken breasts! One of the better Italian places i have been to!
