Buca Di Beppo manue choice

My friend is having her birthday at Buca di Beppo tomorrow and I have no idea what to eat. I tried going on their site to find the calorie count but, of course, they didn't have any nuritional info. I also know that they serve "family style" portions and I don't know if they offer personal portions at dinner. Any advice helps!

Family style means you can take as much or little as you'd like. You can take a spoonful and pass it on, if that's all you want.

Well portions size is one thing, but I'd like to take a spoonful of something that isn't full of fat and carbs (if at all possible at Buca di Beppo).

There's a pretty comprehensive list of the menu items of Buca di Beppo here.

looks like a lot of great options for protein on that menu...Buca is Americanized Italian food, which is heavily weighted with pasta drenched in sauce.  Being married to an Italian for almost 46 years and owned a restaurant for 12, there are always options for healthy food choices...in an Italian home the pasta is lightly sauced and usually is a very small portion and the evening meal.  The big meal is the afternoon meal, which is heavy on protein, veggies and greens.

Chicken Marsala or picatta is always a go to item for me when I am at an Italian restaurant...I don't eat the pasta, just the meat. The chopped salad is another option.  Chances are the group will order one of the higher protein items and a salad and I just take a bit of each, eat slowly and have a glass of wine.  If I get home early enough, I'll eat a bit of protein then so I get my requirements in.

Thanks for posting this info...Nic 

Sure thing, Steph.

 Having been there, each entree is enough for 4 people. Personally I did not like the place. You could order nothing and be fine. Or get the salad and try what looks good
