Message: | I've heard Buca di Beppo's is good for large parties and there's a new one in Santa Monica on 2nd Street. It's not fancy or gourmet, more like Old World New York Italian style, but supposedly a good affordable way to go for large parties. They serve various pasta dishes and salads and such in large family style portions, so five or six dishes might feed your whole group. If you want something more eclectic you might try Safety Zone in Korea Town on Wilshire. The have a huge outdoor patio and you can reserve a large table. They cook Korean barbeque at your table. It's pretty good, but your entire party has to be open to the adventure. Not everyone likes Korean food. They've definitely accomodated us with large parties and they have a full bar. |
