Buca di Beppo

Ah, another favorite restaurant of mine is easily Buca di Beppo which is also located in Pittsburgh. Buca di Beppo is a tasty Italian restaurant that seems to suggest that when eating there, your order is split with another individual. They provide these large portions of any type of Italian food one could ever think of. The smell of the restaurant mixed with the scenic Italian pictures spread throughout it really gives a feel of what good Italian food can taste like. Not only do they have the pictures spread throughout the restaurant but they also have those red and white plaid table cloths that are seen at picnics and all over Italy. 

My favorite food in the whole world is chicken parmesan. The best place to get it I think, (besides my kitchen at home when my mom cooks it) is Buca di Beppo. They bring out this huge plate of chicken parm (it's meant for more than one person but it never hurts to have your favorite leftovers in your fridge at home; am I right?) and they shred fresh cheese overtop; kind of like what the waiters and waitresses do at Olive Garden. It's so fresh and right as it hits your food you can see if begin to melt since your food is so quickly brought out. 

Buca di Beppo is located in Station Square right along the river. However, it's on the opposite side of the river that the Capital Grille is located. It's right by the Hard Rock Cafe and Texas Roadhouse. (which are also very delicious; you can never go wrong picking a restaurant in in Pittsburgh) It's so nice once you finish your meal that you can go right outside and look over the river at the city. Especially, going right as the sun is setting. Nothing beats that on a warm summer evening. And, then walking up and down the little path on the river and see all the of the cities and bridges that make up our beautiful city.
