Buca di Beppo gets to the heart of fresh Italian cooking with recipes like chicken carbonara using imported Italian spaghetti, sinful tiramisu with homemade ladyfingers and savory prosciutto stuffed chicken, as well as a changing menu of nightly specials. At Buca, we serve family-style food in two portion sizes. Buca Small feeds two to three and Buca Large feeds an average-size country. Well, actually it feeds four to six.
Buca di Beppo is the perfect place to celebrate any occasion. Whether hosting a special event, rejoicing in a team victory or honoring Mom on Mother's Day, Buca di Beppo's welcoming and fun atmosphere is the perfect addition. The friendly staff and whimsical atmosphere are sure to be a hit. Keep the conversation flowing by admiring the walls covered in vintage family photos and candid shots of Italian-American icons such as Sophia Loren and Joe DiMaggio. Enjoy listening to the tunes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin while you're sitting at a table with your family, friends or co-workers. Also, Buca di Beppo is the perfect place for Italian on-the-go with Buca To Go.

Dinner at Buca
Buca is always a fun destination, especially with a crowd. The dishes are meant for sharing - small for 2-4 and large for 4 or more. I highly recommend the apple gorgonzola salad, eggplant parmesan and apple crostata for dessert. The penne campfiore was okay. It's hard to leave without leftovers. This time I took home enough for 2-3 more meals!

Be VERY hungry; take your family, not your date
This food is served family style, so if you're going alone or with a date, be prepared to eat the same thing. Probably best for families, but a great atmosphere. Don't ask for the kitchen table; you'll end up looking at the back sides of people waiting in line. Hit the bar!

Dining experience
We ate lunch there and it was not very busy at the time we were there. The staff was so kind and friendly. This was the first time we had visited Indianapolis and they were helpful in suggesting things to see and do. The food was good but the size portions are meant for family groups. The individual portions are huge! We tried the buccini for an appetizer and it was something different and was good. The bill seemed high for what we ordered. Go with a family group and know that the portions are large. The atmosphere added authenticity to the experience.
