text: Remember the line from Austin Powers nGET IN MY BELLYnnWell I have a new one after eating at Buca Di Beppo nMY BELLY HURTSnnThe goodnLove the familystyle ordering Sharing plates and trying different things is always fun It gives you something to talk about and you are engaging with the people at your table n The portions are HUGE Cmon a pound meatball Whoan Service was pretty good I was surprisedn The interior is just so weird it is cool Random pictures that will definitely jumpstart conversationsnnAnd the badn Barely anything healthy on the menu No a Ceasers Salad does not count n A meager at best alcohol menu Their House Cab was decent n It is a chain restaurant that really likes their fake flowers n Did I mention how my belly hurt afterwardsnnI did not even eat that much I ordered a salad which was pretty great I admit I sampled their stuffed shells lemonbutter baked chicken and that huge meatball It was all pretty good I liked the salad the best nnHaving picked and nibbled I did not think my stomach would get upset Boy I was wrong Not a few hours later and it feels like both a harpooned and beached whale bloated and miserable nnThe highlight of the experience was a table next to us talking about my fave cheese in the world Gouda They were Dutch with accents I felt like I was among family with those wonderful Goudaloving strangers and the own wonderful people at my table nnSo in summaryn Loved the concept n Hated the bellyache
