I recently moved to Arizona and on my second night here some local friends took me out to Buca de Bepo for dinner. I personally love Italian food so I was so up for it. My fist impression of the place was, "wow this is really interesting!" The decorations on the wall definitely give it it's own flavor. The bathroom was hilarious and the tour through the restaurant was fun. After having some nice service and pleasant conversations we got our food. It was very bland and had absolutely no flavors. I would have rather eaten something at home than what I had. I didn't even order anything out of the ordinary. It was plain pasta with broccoli and alfrado sauce. My fiance had a different kind of pasta, neither of us were impressed. It was a fun experience, but we should have eaten somewhere else.
Pros: huge portions, good prices, ok service, amazing decor
Cons: food was flavorless
