This was the best experience we've had at this Buca di Beppo as we had a gathering of friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We ordered apple gorgonzola salad, shrimp Florentine, Chicken Saltimbocca, Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken, Lasagne with sides of brussel sprouts and green beans. The dishes were all good and delicious. The wait staff brought deserts with candles for the birthday salute and it was all fun. On top, all of us got gelato to boot. It was a nice evening.

Settebello

Reviewed By _leland_

Friends invited us for dinner and we were surprised that we had not yet tried this restaurant. We love Italian, we love Pizza... and our friends love this place.First, the pizza is just OK. We commented that pizza from WholeFoods (by the slice) is much better.We had a salad which was not the one we ordered (beet serviced but ordered house). It was good.We also had the bruschetta which was not good: very oily and soggy.Drinks were also less than good.Overall, I would say it was disappointing. I've rated average because it was just that.

Il Fornaio

Reviewed By CCS2009

Dinner with friends with lovely wine and delicious food. The restaurant seats a lot of people so the place is loud. It was difficult to visit with our friends. The tables are quite close together which doesn't help. Our server was friendly and informative. The food & wine were wonderful. Pricing is a little high.

Mi Piace has grown from a rather small restaurant to a moderate size restaurant over the years. Fortunately, the quality of the food and service as continued to be excellent. The ravioli al burro, the penne all'arrabbiata and the salted chocolate tart were superb. The extensive wine list included moderate priced Italian wines in addition to expensive classic Italian wines. Our server, Nico, was efficient, knowledgeable, and attentive, but not intrusive.

This restaurant was a real winner for us - nice decor, excellent food, and very accommodating service. We went for lunch and had a very relaxing meal. Big plus is the adjacent, free parking lot. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By NatAtHome

I want to say that this is actually a very nice place, with good friendly service. And very interesting pizzas. Unfortunately, for me, the sauce is a little too sweet. So it isn't my cup of tea. But I would encourage you to try it. You might love it, like many others I know.

Was surprised to see the place full on a recent Sunday night, but after having a delicious dinner, I can see why. This restaurant offers high quality food in a place with great atmosphere. We enjoyed our bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese app, followed by the Dalai Lama and The Padre pizzas. We liked the historic building and how it’s been re-purposed into a restaurant.

This is a share a meal place. We had the grilled octopus (wonderful!) and their bread and butter starter, wild mushrooms with polenta (incredible), and the ragu pasta. Everything was exquisite. The gentleman sitting next to me ordered the pork chop. It completely filled the plate! He said it was phenominal!
