Bucca di Beppo - Anything worth eating there?

Rambo · Oct 19, 2009

Found a $10 off $20 coupon in the Sun. paper. Anything worth eating? I know its not authentic and probably sucks, but they've got to have at least 1 or 2 decent dishes, don't they?

There is one in Seattle in South Lake Union but I don't think it is a chain. Which city are you talking about?

http://www.bucadibeppo.com/ I'm in Florida but I can't imagine that the one in Seattle is any different. Serve food homestyle, have seats in the kitchen, frequented by obnoxious families. Sound similar?

Could ya be a bit more specific? For instance, what, pray-tell, do you like eating there that is so great?

X Infinity. I wouldn't let a stray dog eat that crap. By far the it is the most generic and bland food I have ever had in my life.

the two Houston locations I've visited were decent but nothing to dance on the table about. Their forte is large-ish gatherings, and when we went as part of a large, loud, drunk gathering - it was great. What did we eat? Couldn't tell you.

+1. We had our department dinner there last Christmas; it's not great, but not bad for what it is (middling, chain, fairly affordable family-style Italian). I'd stick to "simpler" things like pasta and pizza when ordering and don't try to get too creative.

Yes, hungry and get the Fruti di Mare.

it is some good food. i like it. whenever we find those coupons we hop on over and order anyone of their family size meals. pretty fun place to eat once in awhile. at least the one on jamboree in irvine, ca that is.
dont get their pizza it is very oily and salty.

It's been a few years since I've been there, but the Eggplant Parmigiana at the D.C. location was decent.

the flatbread pizza is really good, as is the chicken marsala

go with at least 4 people, the way servings are sized, one order of spaghetti is probably too much for just 2 people. I would order 1 dish per every 2-3 people in your party, unless they are all gluttons then you need more
