Buca di Beppo Celebrates 15th Anniversary in July

Buca di Beppo is marking its 15th anniversary with a bella festa for every guest. From July 14 to August 10, guests celebrating their "amore" for Buca di Beppo at any of the 89 restaurants nationwide will enjoy a special anniversary menu and will receive a party favor as unique as Buca itself.

"Buca di Beppo has always been the place to cut loose and celebrate. And after 15 years of hosting the best birthday parties, graduations, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners and other special events, it's time to throw a party for Buca," said John Bettin, Chief Executive Officer, Buca, Inc.

Buca di Beppo's anniversary menu features 15 of its most popular original dishes, all offered at classic pricing that recalls better days when gas was just $1.16 a gallon and movie tickets were a mere $4.25. The classic menu was created in honor of the millions of guests whose fanatical devotion has brought the restaurant tremendous success over the past 15 years. Guests and critics alike hail Buca di Beppo's fresh Italian specialties; the restaurant has earned more than 100 "Best of Citysearch" awards and dozens of nods in national and local magazines and daily and weekly newspapers, including "Best Italian Food," "Special Occasion," "Best Pizza," "Group Dining," and numerous others.

As part of the anniversary celebration, every Buca di Beppo guest will also receive a party favor -- and not of the plastic kazoo variety, either. The restaurant is giving away more than 1 million prizes with a value of $10 million; prizes include dinners for 15 at the Pope's Table, parties at the highly-coveted Kitchen Table and complimentary menu items. At the end of the anniversary celebration, one guest will be selected to receive the ultimate prize: a trip for four to Italy.
