If your talking about Bucca di Beppo (and maybe there are two chains with similar names, i dont' know), that certainly is a place to find the It. Am. stereotypes that the tri staters claim so desperately to have monopolied.
The strangest part about the place is that its not only the hard-to-take-after-awhile pastas with cheese and tomato sauce, but they've got marginally insulting pictures of enormous southern Italians as their main decor theme.
I would feel uncomfortable if i went to an Alabamian restaurant and found pictures of fat people with nascar hats on, Bucca di Beppo makes me feel a similar way.
