| - So I'm reading the previous reviews... and Buca di Beppo is a little gem?! I'm not sure I agree with that. First of all, it's not little. Secondly, it's a pretty decently known chain restaurant, so it wouldn't really be a gem in the sense that it is something to be discovered. Either way, this chain does have its value.
Buca has become a regular place for celebratory dinners with my co-workers. We've been here a few times, but only on weekdays when it is pretty empty and easy to get a big table. The prices are pretty fair for a big group, especially after you split the meal, the drinks, and the check. The family style meal is also really fun for a big group. I like that it is a casual restaurant that allows for a dinner group to be loud and rowdy.
As for the food, you can definitely find better and more unique Italian food at other restaurants. At Buca, the food is just mass produced on big plates so that everyone can eat like a family. Everything I've ever tried is good enough.
Oh, and definitely get the sangria... it adds to the fun night for sure, plus it's tasty.
