More food!!
January 31st, 2006

This is a shot of the Menu at Buca di Beppo. A family style Italian restaurant that has many locations around the U.S. They have pretty good food - I like the Margherita Pizza. They say the name means “Giuseppe’s or Joe’s Basement”. Maybe Joe can confirm this translation for us?

Dear Rodney,
Yes , Beppo (or better Beppe) is the abreviation of Giuseppe (Joe in english) so probably they are originally from Naples (my original town) that’s why Beppo and That’s why “Pizza Margherita” which has been invented exactly in Naples …I hope to post some images of napolitan pizza soon.
Plus I’ve added your link in Rome Daily Photo …so…welcom on board!

Thank you Joe for the clarification. I have a co-worker from Naples and yes the restaurant said that it was southern Italian origin.
Thanks again

I love that place! Family size dishes so big your stomach will suffer. Food’s great, atmosphere too and the best is to go there with a big group of friends. Thanks for sharing Rodney

We’ve got one of these in Minneapolis, too. Yum.
