AVOID ENTIRELY

by johnthebabtist

Don't support this nasty corporate chain. the greed is as thick as the smell of expired ingredients.. the food at this place is terrible, a horrible odor is constant - it's a loud slopfest.

• Pros: it's in a great location
• Cons: the food, the service, the atmosphere, the corporation's attitude towards the working class

Authentic as it is... Italian food.

I love their food because their plates are huge and it's filling. I have my twenty third birthday here and my family, and friends like the place. The food are very tasty, flavorful, and of course filling. It is a great place to eat with friends and family, can even throw a birthday party there; that's what I did.The staff member are friendly, but the services are quite slow. It's worth waiting for the food, even when it's a little slow.

• Pros: Great tast food, and friendly staff.
• Cons: Hard to find parking, and a little slow on the service.

It's Loud in there, but dependable

by newguysfo

We've been here several times both for family dining and for big office parties and birthdays etc. It does get pretty loud in the rooms. I'm not sure if it's the staff yelling or the guests or just the acoustics causing multiple echos off the walls, but whatever, it is part of the culture of Buca di Beppo.

Go with a large group and share, that's the best way. My favorite is the 5 cheese pizza with the caramelized onions. They took it off the menu last year but the secret is that they will still make it for you.

Also like the chicken breasts, the large salads and the lasagna.

Lemonade is pretty good and comes with refills

• Pros: lots of fun, tongue in chique decor, big portions
• Cons: parking, waiting on line, loud, sometimes too salty
