The Food, The Fun, The Pope! Did you know the first Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant opened its doors in 1993? Buca started in the basement of a Minneapolis apartment building which also inspired our name (more on that below). Emphasizing family-style dining for large groups in a fun atmosphere, the restaurant was an immediate hit with local diners. We’ve come a long way from those humble beginnings, and our restaurants have grown in size over the years! We’ve opened Buca locations across the United States and around the globe as demand grew for our delicious Italian inspired dishes. But our mission remains the same. To capture and share the fun and enthusiasm of a lively Italian gathering filled with generous portions of classic Italian food. Every Buca di Beppo restaurant offers an eclectic setting designed to make every meal feel like a celebration! At Buca di Beppo everyone is part of the famiglia and our food is the star of the show! Our menu of classic Italian food is inspired by the cuisine enjoyed by Italian Americans for generations. Delicious dishes with roots in the villages throughout Italy are served just the way Italian American families enjoy at home – family style! Bring your appetite! Each menu item is meant to be shared around the table and offered à la carte in two sizes: Buca Small to feed three or more, and Buca Large to feed an average sized country! Well, actually five or more. Nothing brings a group closer together than trying a bit of this and a taste of that. The portions are plentiful and just like any successful family dinner, no one ever leaves hungry! At Buca, we continue to innovate and create recipes beyond our traditional style by adding new menu items inspired by Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. Indulge in the Buca experience of family style dining sharing unforgettable appetizers like our World Famous Meatballs, fresh salads, pastas, pizzas, entree specialties, and desserts. Save room for tiramisu!
