I ate there the other night. Pretty good stuff. They sat us in some "wedding" booth or something. I thought it was odd.

We had two Buca Dues: one with eggplant parmigiana and ravioli, the other was chicken parmigiana with spaghetti.

That's A LOT of food. I hope you were feeding a family.

I love eating at Buca's, we stuff ourselves silly everytime we go.

There were four of us, two couples. One of them was married, then me, and a girl I know. We weren't a couple, but the "wedding" booth and the waiter made me uncomfortable. :)

We ate at one in the Woodlands, in Texas.

Oh yeah, we also had the garlic bread with cheese.

It's a lot of food, but the quality isn't above your typical Italian family-style restaurant...noisy atmosphere, but good for friends or a very casual date.

although their giant garlic bread is just great. It's a meal unto itself. :)

I've been to the one in Columbus before.

The food was pretty good, but the people I was with wanted something that I really didn't like, so I didn't eat too much.

I wasn't a big fan of the big chunks of garlic in the food, but like I said... it was pretty good.

Buca is the best but I only eat there every few years. It really is too much food!

They are alright. You have to go w/ a lot of people though or you'll be stuck w/ a lot of food you can't eat.

I just ate there on Thursday night. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Sometime I want to get reservations for the table in the kitchen.
