3.5 Stars. I liked Buca di Beppo, I didn't love it. I would definitely recommend going with a large group, 7-10 people is about right. The boisterous atmosphere is great for a big party and there is less risk in ordering since you'll be having several family style dishes you can simply avoid the 'misses'. And there will be misses, the fettucine alfredo is quite bland for instance, but you'll also be pleasantly surprised at some dishes.
Pros: lots of energy, lots of choices
Cons: high volume kitchen means they have lots of quantity at the expense of some quality
