| - What a pleasant surprise! Looking for a place to eat in Pittsburgh and the hotel staff at the Hilton directed our group of teachers (from Maryland) here and supplied the free shuttle from the hotel. The atmosphere was nice (though the table next to ours was a bit loud). Food was excellent and huge portions, even though we ordered off the single-serve menu, rather than the family style, because we had to have itemized receipts for our expense accounts. I got eggplant parmigiana and it was the best I've ever had. I couldn't even eat the spaghetti that came with it as the serving was huge! Other diners in the group were pleased with their choices as well. We shared an appetizer sampler that consisted of calamari, shrimps, and mozzarella. I didn't taste the cheese, but the rest was quite good. Our server was excellent and attended to every detail. When faced with the task of five separate bills and the complications that go along with that, she smiled and treated us like celebrities.
This is the funny part--the walls of Buca di Beppo are plastered with pictures of all sizes and shapes. At first, nothing seems out of the ordinary. But on closer examination, some pictures reveal strange little inconsistencies that cause one to do a double-take. For example, Mona Lisa topless! Needless to say, we had quite a few laughs over these. My personal favorite was a little Easter Bunny--or so it appeared on first glance. I'll leave the rest up to you... Go and enjoy.
