Buca di Beppo
July 31st, 2004
Buca di Beppo is now officially the worst resteraunt ever. Don’t get me wrong. The food is decent.
The problem I have is with the way they portion the food. If you have never been to a Buca di Beppo, I will try to explain. Instead of having meals for one, they serve either a small or a large dish which serve 2-3 and 4-6 people respectively.
The problem with this is no matter how hard you try you will never be able to eat what you order. If you order too little or just enough food, everyone eats sparingly in order to make sure everyone else gets their fill of food, but in the end no one does.(no one wants to be the asshole that ate the last bit of pasta when everyone is still hungry) Therefore the only way to get your fill of food is too order way too much food, which just pisses me off.
Then the bill comes and what do you do. You have to split it evenly because everyone “shared”. Your friend bill ate about 4 times as much as anyone else and had several milkshakes, and you end up paying for it. Or maybe its the other way around. You are Billy and don’t want everyone else to pay for your raging hunger so you eat less and leave unsastisfied. This resteraunt angers me.
