Buca di Beppo

Buca di Beppo is an American restaurant chain specializing in Italian-American food. The name roughly translates as "Joe's small place" from Italian (buca, which literally means "hole" or "pit", can be a dialectal word in Tuscany for a small room or place, and Beppo is a diminutive of the name Giuseppe). The chain of 81 establishments (76 company-owned, 5 franchises in UK) is owned by Buca, Inc., a subsidiary of Planet Hollywood.
