I enjoyed the ambiance of Buca di Beppo at Universal City Walk in L.A. so I decided to book our Christmas Eve dinner at the more local to us Buca. The family had never been and I knew it would be fun. As you can imagine on Christmas Eve, they were running a little behind but not majorly. Our server was delightful. The food was good, nothing exciting, and the portions large, as they are known for family style dining. It is a great value and a lot of fun for large groups.
