Buca di Beppo has a Gluten Free Menu?

You heard me right. Buca's has a gluten free menu. I was shocked. We had never been there before and kind of wanted to check it out but I was hesitant because I thought for sure the only thing I would be able to get was a salad. It's not that I don't like salads, I'm irritated by the fact that salads are my only option going out to eat. I want to choose to eat a salad not be forced to.

Buca's reminds me of a lot of chain restaurants. There wasn't anything amazing about the food. It was fine, I wouldn't be opposed to going again. It appears to be a great place to go with a large family. We were only 3 and had enough food left over for a week. The walls are covered with photos of famous Italians, the only one I remember is Sofia Loren.

We slipt the apple gorgonzola salad. It had romain lettuce, granny smith apples, crasins, walnuts with a hint of cinnamon, gorgonzola cheese, and dressing - not clear on the dressing, it was kind of creamy but gluten free.

I ordered the chicken limon. I was shocked when I got my food because I was told that the gluten free menu items came in small portions. This is what I got - 3 chicken breasts! I thought this place is crazy to think that this is an appropriate size for one person. The server clarified and said that the kitchen messed up and gave me a full serving. This is chicken breast with a lemon sauce and capers. It was good and it was good reheated.

They unfortunately don't have any gluten free desserts listed on the menu but they have vanilla and chocolate gelato. Here's my chocolate gelato with the largest spoon known to man. I could barely fit in my mouth.

They love to celebrate at Buca's so go there when you need to celebrate, you'll get a lot of food for a lot of people. I had a good time. It's worth checking out my gluten-free friends.
