Here’s how it works: stop in, get seated like everyone else, and tell your server you’d like the “family-style pasta.” After your meal is delivered, your check will come, but it will be $0.

“We don’t know how long this train wreck will last, but we’re committed to doing this at least through the end of the year (or until things get resolved),” said Bucci’s.

If you’d like to help Bucci’s cover the cost of this, they created a business Venmo account (@buccis), and donated money helps cover meals or helps cover tips for the servers.
