  • At the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue stands a colossal castle called the Excalibur. Inside the castle there is an Italian restaurant that serves portions of food fit for a king. It was Christmas Day when I toured the Christmas decorated hotels and public areas of the Strip from Mandalay Bay to Fashion Show. As I was walking through the Excalibur, I spotted Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant. The red colors caught my eye. I decided to look at the menu. The hostess let fall that if you are dining alone that you can have the lunch special all day long. A few hours later, I would return to the Castle to enjoy food portions that would make me feel like a king. This Buca di Beppo is one of several in a chain of Italian restaurants that are owned by Planet Hollywood. Currently there are around 95 of them. Buca di Beppo has risen to fame with their outrageous portions of delicious Italian food that are called a la carte or family style. These portions are meant to be shared. But what if you love Italian food and are on a solo dining adventure? Buca di Beppo serves individual size entrees that are the lunch special. In the case of the solo diner, the lunch special could be ordered at 5 pm or 9 pm. Obviously a restaurant serving king sized portions of tasty Italian food is sure to attract a lot of diners. The upshot is there was a short wait. Time went fast while waiting on a bench overlooking the menazene level of the castle. Ironically Buca di Beppo means Joe's basement in Italian. A few minutes later, they called my name. Buca di Beppo does a nice job with the decor. Despite the fact that this is a chain, , it felt like I was dining in a family-owned Italian restaurant. I walked in here decided on ordering eggplant parmigiano with spaghetti (lunch price $12.99) and a Pepsi ($3.29). As expected the portion was humongous. Who needs a buffet with portions this big. The left side of the plate held eggplant parmigiano topped with marinara sauce, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese. The right side held spaghetti with marinara sauce. I exchanged over $17 with Buca di Beppo for a meal that was both quantity and quality. After finishing all this food, I walked out of the castle feeling like the king.
