    Never had worse Chicken Marsala than the mess they served at Buca Di Beppo. Just horribly sweet, the staff was unconcerned so we just sent it back without replacing it. I came here to see what I am missing, but once I hit the commercial breaks I just gave up.

    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. It was I was at Morton’s Steakhouse because of their customer service. I love the Vegas location inside Excalibur.

    Never go there without at least 6 people. The food quality is far superior to other chain Italian places but I wish they didn't serve everything family style. My first time there, I had no idea what was happening when they started bringing so much food. I was planning on going out after dinner but had to carry bags of food home first and meet my friends later.

    I like Buca Di Beppo's Decor !………….All the Old School pictures of people like Frank Sinatra are cool. My Mom having gone to a Catholic School back in the 50's & 60's would know who all those Old Time Pope's they have photo's of were…….Enjoy the edition of the Pope Francis Bust !

    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.

    Buca means HOLE and Beppo is a short form of Giuseppe, which means Joe. So Buca di Beppo means Joe's Hole. I don't know where you guys got your translation… but it seems wrong. And the name is more gimmicky than anything else, as no one in Italy… in their right minds… would ever name a restaurant such a name.

    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.
