Wanna lunch deal? Buca di Beppo has BOGO entree M-F until 8/31/23
Went there 2day, l they weren’t that busy. Got a Chicken Parm w/ side of spaghetti & Eggplant Parm w/ side of fettuccine Alfredo for $17! Huge portions and plenty for dinner and then some.

Now – the only downfall was the chicken Parm tasted bland, lacked seasoning (Macaroni Grill is better) and same goes with the Eggplant- bland – but just add pepper and Parm cheese and it’s manageable. But for 17 bucks I was forgiving. I mean these are like 90s prices! But there’s a plethora of dishes to choose from.

FWIW, Maggiano’s in the Domain has a standing “buy an entree, get a classic pasta to take home for 6 bucks” deal, prices aren’t that much higher than Buca, and I’m guessing the food is a bit better.
If you want food at this price point that is a bit higher quality, I recommend the freezer section of your local grocery store.

Lot of negators around here – but to be fair here’s what I believe Buca is doing. They recently raised their prices, so to counter against that they market this summer special to draw in business. The perception is you’re getting a really good deal, but it’s a discount at the higher price. Then when it’s over they figure you’d come back and pay the regular prices. The food wasn’t bad, just lacked seasoning. But I agree, they’re not as good as Maggiano’s or Mandola’s.
