I used to work at Buona Sera, a new Italian restaurant no more than a half mile from Buca.  Being as objective as possible, I think it has great food with more than generous portions with a very upbeat but low key atmosphere.  I haven't seen many kids eat here.  Many come here to celebrate birthdays and of sort.  The restaurant is right across from Bob Chinn's.  Most of the clientele that come in always come back.

That's pretty accurate.  Food's OK, though nothing to write home about.

yes it is loud, raucous, family, HUGE portions...
also fun, different, and very deliberately kitsh.
the food is tolerably good american italian. ( Ok  the chefs were not trained in Tuscany) definitelt worth a visit.
