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..."

They have a booth in the kitchen that you can reserve. They show you each plate before it goes to a table. The waiters even let you grab a calamari or two, etc from the plate before it leaves the kitchen. It's fun until the next visit and you don't sit in the kitchen.
