Review of Buca Di Beppo – San Jose

Overpriced, mediocre food and inattentive service....

Overpriced, mediocre food and inattentive service. The Margeherita pizza was fine but I can't say it was worth the $30 price. Same for the giant meatballs. There's nothing wrong with them, but they're very average, as is the pasta and uninspired tomato sauce. Our server repeatedly forgot to bring us basic requests (e.g., crushed red pepper for our pizza) and on multiple occasions we got up from our table and fetched things ourselves.
