Buca di Beppo To Close

Posted by Foobooz on October 15th, 2007

Center City Buca di Bepo

Down goes Buca di Beppo. Down goes Buca di Beppo. Have Center City’s Italian BYOBs taken down the corporate goliath Buca di Beppo? Maybe. Or perhaps it was the $31,875 a month rent. But any which way, there will soon be one less Italian chain in Center City Philadelphia.

The Minneapolis-based company, which has upwards of 90 locations in 25 states, is set to close the Center City branch as soon as a replacement tenant is found.

  2. Andy Says:

    What?! I loved this restaurant! Its unique, and I’m really sad to see it go :(

  3. Mike Says:

    Are you being sarcastic?

    Yeah. It sure is unique. I especially like how they have the phrase “Authentic Immigrant Dining” in green neon.

  4. Johnny Goodtimes Says:

    Don’t worry Andy. You’ve still got Chili’s and Olive Garden for unique dining experiences.

    I just quite Bucca cause the GM was a major A-Hole and I’m glad to see this dump close down. HAHAHAHA Buca!!!!!!!!!

  6. Missy Says:

    Why do people have to be so rude? Andy, I loved it too and I too am sorry to see it go. I also want to apologize for these rude people who have nothing better to do than make fun of peoples remarks.

    WoW! Some people must really be Ignorant!! Where else can you, pretty much get your way, have 10-15 guest, have a great time, leave with a full stomach, have left overs for next days lunch, eat GREAT food & only spent $60-$100. (NOWHERE, FOOLS). This place is hot and amazing and “if” OPERATED properly will prosper again. In some places you get treated like ‘famiglia’!! The staff knows your name, thay know what you drink & eat, etc…. Buca di Beppo is extremely unique and the seperate rooms and pictures make an experience!! Take 10-15 guest out sit at the POPE ROOM table and enjoy an amazing atmosphere!! If you have any doubts about what I’m writing come check me out @ BUCA di BEPPO Naples. As Dick Vitale would say, “YEEAAH BABY”!!!!!!
