I was pretty upset when the Buca Di Beppo closed in Fort Lauderdale, it used to be one of my favorite places to go and pig out at. The management there was exceptional, and it just always seemed like a comfortable place to go and enjoy some pasta. There was another Buca Di Beppo in Wellington, FL that opened a few years ago, that used to be great, but when the woman running the place Becky (I think was her name) left, it seemed to go down the tubes in my opinion, and I stopped going there, since the food came out wrong several times.
When I was visiting a friend in nearby Lake Worth (way out west), we decided to go take the families and eat, and Buca Di Beppo in Wellington seemed like a great choice, especially since he had a coupon. So we headed over there and waited for about 20 minutes, until we were seated. The best part about any Buca Di Beppo is the ability to sit in the kitchen, and if you haven’t tried it yet, it is worth the experience. You get to see all the food being made, and the staff shows you the dishes and explains them before they head out to the tables to be served.
