BOSTON, MA (September 2, 2010) – There will soon be more “mangia” in Massachusetts, as Buca di Beppo is set to open their doors in mid-September in Seekonk, the first of four Bay State locations opening this fall. The casual dining restaurant chain, famous for its generous family-style portions, quirky, fun-filled décor will also open new locations in Dedham, Lexington, and Shrewsbury.
Since its acquisition by Planet Hollywood International Inc. in September 2008, Buca di Beppo has continued to thrive and expand its presence across the country, as the brand will now proudly tout the four Massachusetts locations among its 60+ eatery roster.

“We have successfully re-energized the Buca di Beppo brand in the face of some of the toughest economic challenges in recent history,” said Robert Earl, Chairman and CEO of Planet Hollywood International Inc. “We see Massachusetts as a healthy market and a natural fit for the quality and value of the Buca brand.”
Famous for serving family-style dishes, Buca di Beppo is the perfect place for a great meal at a great value. With its fun-filled décor, engaging music and over-the-top service, Buca di Beppo is the restaurant of choice for celebratory dining whether it is a family reunion, birthday or celebrating a youngster’s winning soccer game. The restaurant is famous for its marinara and meat sauces made in-house daily and served over imported Rummo Italian Spaghetti. Buca’s family-style pasta and entrees serve up to six people and range from $18 to $38. In an effort to appeal to locals and pay homage to signature New England cuisine, Buca has added several seafood dishes, including lobster ravioli and mussels marinara, to its four Massachusetts locations. Staples to the casual Italian eatery’s menu include a variety of budget-friendly pastas and entrées including Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Parmigiana. In addition, Buca recently introduced 10 new menu items that include Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken, Chianti Braised Short Ribs, Penne San Remo, Baked Rigatoni and many more delectable dishes.
“We have been looking for opportunities to expand Buca di Beppo into Massachusetts and the timing is perfect,” said Tom Avallone, President and CEO of Buca, Inc. “On a personal note it gives me even more reason to visit my son attending college in Boston, and now I have a fun restaurant to take his group of friends for a great dinner.”
