Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant Reviews

We went here for my wife's birthday because we had a large party and the price seemed good. The restaurant itself was Ok if not a little over decorated. The service was abysmal, we had tickets for the comedy club and a hotel downtown and a had given ourselves 3 and a half hours to eat and get there to check in etc. The staff were totally uninterested after we were seated, after sitting for 15 minutes we had to approach them and ask for drinks, we also had to ask on several occasions where our food was, our waitress would just say ''oh I will see'' then disappeared. Dishes would appear at different times when courses were nearly over. When we arrived the table next to us was just vacated, it was not cleared the entire time we were there, dirty dishes and glasses were just left sitting. We were there a total time of 3 hours and 15 minutes and had to leave not really eating all of our meal because we were now late, again no apology or even any expression of care on our waitress' face. I strongly DO NOT recommend this restaurant.
