Editorial Review for Buca di Beppo – by Saira Masood
In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!

When you walk into the restaurant, you'll notice the decor on the wall immediately. The atmosphere is fun & festive, and the waiters are friendly but could be a little too cheery. The portions are HUGE. We ordered 2 appetizers and 4 dishes for 10 people! I recommend the garlic bread and the bruscetta. The thing is, don't expect to have a decent conversation here. It's too loud and you'll have to shout to be heard.
Pros: Hearty portions
Cons: Too loud

This place is over the top. The food is very salty, the servers are hyper-active, but worst of all is that terribly annoying tape loop of two men arguing in Italian that plays over and over in the bathrooms. That (and the giant glass of chianti) made my head--and stomach--start to spin.
Pros: good for parties
Cons: utter chaos
