With the tickets for disney and universal I get vouchers for dine 4 less and planet hollywood/buca di beppo $10 gift certificates.
I have never heard of buca di beppo, any reviews/ experiences to share anybody?

Buca's a chain - I've only ever been to the original one in Minneapolis - but I assume they're all much of a muchness. Planet Hollywood bought Buca a few years ago - I don't know if that has been good or bad for the food...

The food at Buca is family-style (American) Italian. It's good - nothing fancy, but good (so think chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, stuff like that). The d�cor is red-checked tablecloths, etc. - and it's fun for kids.

If I were choosing for MY family - I'd pick Buca. My DH and DS couldn't care less about movie memorabilia, and we all like Italian food. But your family may be different.

Hi
Last time we got vouchers for PH we bought clothes, the last time before that dh got food poisoning from a chicken sandwich so we never eat there anymore!
Will wait to see if there are anymore posts before we decide what to use the vouchers for. Thanks

I've eaten at Buca de Beppo inVegas and New York, it's massive Italian plates! Family style so on big plates and you share. It's not great as a couple, you need four or more!

We actually have a buca by where we live one of only 5 in the U.K. And I loved it at first when opened but now I don't think much of it but suppose it's hard to compare it to the state side ones.

We've had lunch at the one in the Florida Mall a couple of times, thought the menu looked kind of expensive for what was on offer, but the portions are huge and clearly meant for sharing.

We'll likely visit again next week.
