Red vinyl booths, vintage sangria bottles and pictures of Italian families from the old country welcome local families at Buca di Beppo. Located Downtown, Buca di Beppo does everything family style. From the large portions meant for sharing to table seating for 12, Buca's is intended to be enjoyed by a family of people.
Their menu reflects classic Italian favorites; baked ravioli, cheese manicotti, fettuccini alfredo and margherita pizza. Plated personal size, small, or large, everything comes in three portion sizes perfectly fit for families of every size.
Even the restaurant's design is meant to accommodate large groups. Expansive booths, large circular tables and a rotating tabletop platform allow families of all sizes and ages to belly up and share the enormous portion sizes.
