Buca de Beppos has been a downtown Indianapolis restaurant staple since 1979. Known for their great food as well as huge portions, this is the place to go for  food. Recently remodeled, the  place feels warm and cozy, yet not cramped and closed in. It's a wonderful atmosphere where you can truly relax. Calming mood music plays in the background, and we were delighted to be serenaded by the likes of Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, and "The Chairman of the Board" Frank Sinatra. I was impressed at how knowledgeable and extremely helpful our waiter Brian was. The other wait staff that I observed seemed to be just as exceptional. The establishment was absolutely spotless.
Complimentary Bread with a nice thick Italian crust is served, and is accompanied by a wonderful Garlic Pesto Butter. The parmesan on the table seemed to be of good quality as well. Many  items have small or large portions to choose between. The small portions are anything but, and the large portions are enormous. Larger portions also include your choice of fresh tossed salad, Caesar salad, or homemade soup.
