Buca Di Beppo Coming to NOLA

The locations I've been at were an absolute fricking circus. It's loud, both visually and also with the music they play. I guarantee that if you spend an hour in the place you're going to be sick of Dean Martin. Every time I've been to one I couldn't wait to leave, but I may be in the minority because the place was always packed, and when we'd hit the town in groups, someone would always pick this place in their rotation.

It's mostly family portioned food, meaning large plates meant to be shared.

Did I mention that you're going to be sick of Dean Martin?

"When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie..."

It try's to be like a maggionos if you've ever been there but it misses


It's basic family style Italian food that's good for parties or large groups. Save you money.

Spot on review. It's famiy size portions and they pump in the Italian music.

It's your typical Italian chain restaurant

I've been there twice several years ago. It wasn't bad but I'd rather eat at a local place

I went to one in San Diego, and it was neither here nor there. We sat at a table with a bust of the pope in the middle. That was a little strange but...I think they will do well in Oakwood. The demographics there will fit in well for what they are doing.

Middle of the road, nothing special. Not really all that different than OG.

i kinda like it... i enjoy the family thing, their cheap house chianti in the wicker basket bottom, but what do i know, my great, great grandparents just passed through Sicily Island, not Ellis Island..

sarcasm- the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

the sicily island thing didn't give you a clue? jimi, how young are you?

I really don't think he has a clue. His responses in this and the other thread are almost like he's a water head or something. Makes absolutely no sense.
