Bucca di Beppo

 the buca di beppo replaced the old theater building between the grand
 concourse and the sheraton, right next to the old diner building.  It is
 3 floors.  Pretty neat inside.  I ate there on mon.  Nice place if you
 have 4 or more people but for a couple or a date, it isnt very
 practical.. Most food there is "sharable" and for 4 people you are going
 to spend between 60 - $80.  yuou cannot order anything for yourself.
 You order for the table and everybody gets small plates that you share
 from.
