  • It's Olive Garden with a personality. Buca di Beppo, though a chain, has more than a few things going for it. The Scottsdale location can easily accommodate large groups. Family style servings contribute to great interaction with friends and family. The décor is gaudy and creative, with an emphasis on Italian heritage and a touch of humor here and there.

The lids were poorly designed, subject to spillage around the straw, but the kids did enjoy the beverages. $10 of enjoyment? Well. At least refills were free. Ordering the right amount of food from the family style menu can be tricky. The portions are generous, so it's easy to order too much. For example, our server's recommendation to share a small salad for four adults was perfect, even though the written menu would have suggested the larger size. I'd recommend getting some friends together and ordering several small entrees for variety, I'd also recommend just letting kids share the adult family style entrees rather than ordering from the children's menu (unless they just have to have macaroni and cheese). The four and five year olds in our party were fine with it and it helped them feel fully part of the group. They weren't quite as supportive, however, when we refused to order the giant brownie sundae. I was willing, but...
