Oh my... We really wanted to like this, and I was excited to try it as we enjoy Buca but don't have one nearby. I've never ordered this recipe, though. Unfortunately, it was SO tart that DH couldn't eat it. My usual favorite recipe for green beans uses fresh lemon and dill, but this was still too tart for me, too. I only used the juice from 1 1/2 lemons, too - fresh, not concentrate. Maybe my lemons were too tart, but this just didn't quite do it for us.

Boy, is this tart! Very easy to prepare. I have never had this at Buca Di Beppo before, so not sure if this is how it's suppose to taste. Really great and different. Thanks for posting.
