It is close, for a chain, but I wouldn't say that it's close to what you can get in Italy. Then again, that's just my opinion and it has been 15 years since I last visited Italy.

As I noted, the atmosphere at Buca is awesome. Perhaps that's why I eat there and maybe your cousin's boyfriend is influenced by that as well.

Did he serve in the southern mission? The food at Buca's is southern Italian influenced.
