I swore off of B di B after a male host treated myself and guests horribly. We did not want to wait in the very crowded lobby or bar and went to the Metreon mall a block away, we were told our table would be called in about 40minutes. The host would not call us. 30minutes later we returned and... More

We travelled with 30 teenagers. It can be challenging serving a large group. Food was good- pasta could have been warmer though. Service was friendly. Good value. More

The caesar salad was really tasty but everything else was pretty average and it was expensive too and you have to order everything family style so you get a lot of food and I prefer to taste a little bit of everything so this leaves you pretty limited for options especially if you order something and dislike how it tastes More

Crowded and noisy! Menu has lots of cheese dishes; however, they do accommodate intolerance, vegan, and vegetarians by modifying the dishes to suit. Portions are served family style and are very generous. More
