Buca Di Beppo= Food of the GODS!!
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 06:52 PM by HeyManThatsCool
I am in heaven eating my leftovers right now. The lemon chicken is melting in my mouth

If you haven't gone, I highly recommend it!

My favorite thing is sitting at the pope table with most of my family. We do it every year & it is SO SO fun. The kids love it.

1. You're not joking when you say leftovers.
One of those meals is food for a week.

2. That's the place in MN, right?
Obscene amounts of food delivered, but then again, someone else can pay $14 for a box of pasta all to themselves :eyes:

5. I've Had Their Lemon Chicken and It ROCKS
Their red sauce is nothing to write home about, though.

11. I shy away from Italian chain food...is this place really good?
I HATE the Olive Garden, and Macaroni Grill is just so-so (they overcook their pasta).

16. Another Buca lover here
Only Italian restaurant I will go to. Best eggplant in the US. And house salad always so fresh it crackles. Take a big crowd of people and enjoy.

26. I've seen some of the biggest food snobs SWOOON over the eggplant
Bucca di Beppo is astonishingly good for what it is.

22. It's Not *Super-Great* But
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 08:29 PM by Crisco
If you happen to live in a large US city where there's no such thing as an Italian-American community center, chances are you're already SoL when it comes to good Italian restaurants. It those cases, Buca's a blessing.

Olive Garden sucks.

21. Oh, god...
The first time we went during a trip to Kansas City, we didn't get what "family style" meant.

Ordered a truckload of food accidentally, and it kept us fed for a week.

31. You wont be sorry
But remember- it's family style!! Since they opened here in Exton, PA they have changed the menu so that you can get some of the stuff "Small"
(which is still pretty big!!! lol)

The 1st time I went with 5 other people, I think we each took home 5 pounds of food. And that was after we ate like pigs!
