 My mother in law is coming to town and she always takes us to Buca Di Beppo. It is a family style italian restaurant. Sounds like it would be really hard to find something I could eat. Any suggestions from those who have been there?

Haven't been there, but do they have meatballs or baked fish?

 For small portions (do they exist at Buca?), the healthier antipasti sound like the Mozzarella Caprese and the Stuffed Mushrooms. They also have salads..... Yeah, there's a reason I haven't been there in almost a year.....

You'll probably only be able to eat about 3 oz of food, so any meatball you'd care to
nibble on will be sufficient.

Buca de Beppo is not on my list of restaurants anymore, along with any Chinese buffet!

I'd do a chopped salad and a side order of meatballs. You're probably either going to have to share or plan on taking a lot home.

 OMG I love Buca...when everyone orders make sure they order lemon chicken...it is fantastic. That way you have something good to eat as well and can take leftovers home. 

A meatball there is the size of a softball.

I LOVE Buca Di Beppo! The Mozzarella Caprese salad is amazing, as well as alot of the chicken dishes. Its really not that hard to find something we are able to eat there, the only down side is the dishes are so dang big and "family style" so maybe try to pick something your mother in law enjoys too! Have fun :)
