The Untold Truth of Buca Di Beppo

Показать описание

Buca di Beppo may not be the first chain that comes to mind when you think of Italian restaurant franchises in the U.S., but that's partially because Buca di Beppo stands apart from your Olive Gardens and Macaroni Grills. It's unique, and that's by design.

The decor? It's ugly on purpose. The food? It's served family style. And the feel is like eating in your buddy's basement. How did this charming, one-of-a-kind Italian restaurant chain come to be? The story of the Minnesota-born chain may not be what you think it is. Here's the untold truth of Buca di Beppo.

I don’t always spend $250 on spaghetti and meatballs for a family of 5, but when I do it’s at Buco De Beppo

The food is fantastic and they're truly nice. They used to provide foot for the Maple Street Shelter in Redwood City, CA. Love the place!

I love Buca di Beppo. The portion sizes are huge. For instance, the small salad serves four or five people. I do not know how large the other ones are, but I'll bet they are HUGE.

The portion are extremely large and you don’t have to share because you can always take some home. The food is fantastic and the people there were friendly and nice. I was like I was at Morton’s Steakhouse because of their customer service. I love the Vegas location inside Excalibur.

I can't name a more humorous chain than Buca.

Excellent time was had every single time we have gone. The Pontiff Room is a must with its large round table and the lazy-susan helps to get the food you are craving.

One of my first jobs as a high school kid was at a pretty authentic Italian restaurant. Everything from busboy to pizza maker to dishwasher.

If you are an Italian American you don't really care if the food you are eating is totally authentic to Italy, you care that it tastes like great Italian American food. Oh I had a childhood filled with great Italian American food, I miss my great aunt Rosie's food, she was one of those Italian ladies that made every pasta you could think of and sold it to friends and relatives.

I grew up in Minneapolis, so I must have been eating there since they started. The Loring Park location is definitely one that I've eaten at.

Now, I know why it's located in the basement (I always loved that it was in a basement). I've only been to the one in downtown Minneapolis. I used to go there all the time with my friends years ago when I lived in Loring park. There is a Saint Paul location, but, I have never been there. I'm sure it's just as good but I have no idea if that location is in a basement.
