The hostess told my boyfriend they would call us if any tables became available. They never called us. We went back 30 minutes before the time they told us and many tables were already empty.
We ordered the chicken carbonara and it looks nothing like the picture. It was just a big bowl of white noodles with a couple of peas and greasy chicken chunks mixed in (and greasy ham chunks if you kept those in- we didn't). It was very bland and what little flavor it did have was equivalent to a frozen dinner- except we could have gotten the frozen dinner for a tenth of the price.
The Italian sodas were 4 dollars and not half as good as regular soda.
We still managed to have a good time though, discussing how Buca Di Beppo makes their money- by selling a shit load of extremely cheap, whole grain lacking, enriched pasta as the majority and center piece of their entr?es.
Olive Garden is much better.
Pros: nice waiter, pretty (ladies) bathroom
Cons: everything else
