Buca di Beppo - San Jose, CA

I chose this place by default. Everything else had a 45 minute wait and I was not in the mood to wait. Driving to San Jose after work, dealing with mall parking lots and shopping can make me one irritated sister. So I figured I would try it and boy did I make the wrong decision.

The menu is just pages and pages of noodles. I know I picked an Italian joint but I know they eat things other than noodles right? I finally found Veal Parmigiana on the menu and decided to go with that. The small version of this dish was $21.95. I only wanted one serving! This place is served family style. So I chugged my Limoncello Martini and got out of there! Next time I am going to Olive Garden!

There is not another restaurant chain that I loathe more.

Drive a few more miles up Bascom Ave to Los Gatos. Valenriano's, I Gatti serve great italian food.

I miss the old look for your blog but I kind of actually like the new one too.

If I eat Italian food in San Jose it's usually Maggiano's or Original Joe's. I really don't like Bucca de Peppos. Maggiano's does family style but you can also get al a carte. I love their spinach salad, rigatoni d, spinach and chicken manicotti and apple crostata. you should totally check them out.
