Description & Atmosphere
It's easy to see why there's always a crowd outside waiting to get into Buca di Beppo. The place is insane — and we mean that in a good way. From the minute you walk inside the restaurant overlooking their busy open kitchen, the place is hopping.

Beppos has three cozy dining rooms on the first floor and several rooms upstairs - booth and table seating is available

Beppo's has three cozy dining rooms on the first floor and several rooms upstairs. Each room offers a great party atmosphere — Sinatra fans will love the music. The walls are jam-packed with framed photographs, some of
which are hilarious.

Food

Bucca di Beppos Pasta Dish

The food here is great, especially the pasta and the portions are generous — if there are just two of you dining, you'll probably have enough left-overs for another meal...or two. One of our favorite entrees is the Spaghetti & "giant" Meatballs — as Rachel Ray would say..."Yum-o!"

The salads are enormous too. Try the popular Beppo ''1893" – it's loaded with different lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes, salami, peppers, onions and more. Beppo's new Apple Gorgonzola Salad is fantastic — fresh romaine, gorgonzola, seasoned walnuts, dried cranberries, Granny Smith Apples, and Italian Vinaigrette.

During a recent visit with friends, we enjoyed a fabulous Fried Calamari appetizer, Caesar Salad, Chicken Canneloni (stuffed with chicken sausage, provolone, ricotta, and fresh sage, smothered with romano and marinara), and the Linguine Frutti di Mare with shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari — a seafood lovers delight!

Beppo's Lasagne

On another visit, we enjoyed a tasty Spaghetti Marinara and a deliciously light Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza with a wonderful thin crispy crust. We had enough food left over for two more meals!

Out for a celebratory birthday meal, a group of us devoured the Chicken Cacciatore over Garlic Mashed Potatoes…a fabulous dish, a delicious green salad, and Beppo's classic pasta dish, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce — it will keep you coming back for more.

Just when we felt like we couldn't take another bite, we noticed the Tiramisu (rum and espresso soaked ladyfingers layered with custard, topped with cocoa and biscotti with almonds) on the dessert menu. It arrived in a bowl large enough for eight people. Needless to say, after dinner we all walked out with two doggy-bags full of leftovers and enjoyed another great meal the next night at home...compliments of Beppo.

Beppo's decadent desserts

Each visit we like to try something different — everything on the menu is terrific, including the Chicken Marsala with fresh mushrooms, Veal Parmigiana with prosciutto, Lasagna...you get the idea.
Buon Appetito!

Private Parties
Beppo's is a fun place to come to celebrate a special occasion, especially with four or more people. It's ideal for Team-Building events or treating your Top Performers or Clients to a fun "Italian" night out.

If someone in your party is celebrating a birthday, be sure
to tell the Beppo staff when you arrive — expect the entire dining room to join the candelabra-bearing waitstaff in singing "Happy Birthday."

A small semi-private room upstairs features a large round table that seats up to 18 people — it's ideal for parties...of all ages.

Men's Bathroom
Ladies, be sure to check out the pictures in the men's bathroom — as you can see from the photos below, they are very funny.
