Food is very hearty and you can tell it is indeed made from scratch. Interesting decor...Looks like an original Buca DiBeppo. A lot of regulars (age 60+) eat here.
I've read a lot of comments about the poor service. The waitstaff seems rushed and 'appear' too busy to be bothered with your questions about the menu but the food is good. They will easily make substitutions where possible w/o 'nickle and diming' you. Only two seafood dishes. Lots of beef, veal and chicken.
If the aloof service bothers you then I'd suggest take-out :)
