Awesome atmosphere -- not too demanding, not too casual; great food -- especially all types of green salad, pasta and chicken; some good red wines.
I have been to Buca di Beppo three times now within 60 days an must say that I love their cuisine (not Italian, not Spanish, not strictly European, but delicious). I'd recommend their chicken marsala, fettuccine gamberi and salmon with pesto and garlic mashed potato side. You can't go wrong with the tiramisu dessert either.
One advantage of going to Buca di Beppo instead of going to other similar restaurants, is their gift card promos suitable for larger groups, since it's applicable to orders of $100 or more. But for every $100 you get $25 gift card redeemable on next visit. Excellent incentive for people who aren't the regular-guest/client type like me and who love to explore different restaus.
