Believe it or not the local Buca de Beppo in my 'hood is closed. I don't
know why, it was always packed when we were there. It was okay for large
groups of birthdayers or whatever, the menu was large enough to cater to all
tastes. Plus which a large party could get out with apps, main, and drinks
and tip for around $35.00 per person...

Plenty of better places for Eye - talian here in Chicawgo, so it was never a
"destination" except for large parties, but it was okay for what it was...
