Walking into Buca di Beppo feels like walking into a time-warp: a combination of 1950's rec room and Italian immigrant cultural shrine. There are year-round Christmas lights (yes, the big colored bulbs) strewn about the rooms and hallways. The wood-paneled walls are adorned with an abundance of humorous artifacts: silly (and sometimes provocative) black and white photos (a beauty queen spaghetti-eating contest / nuns duking it out in bumper cars) mesh with scarves of Italian soccer teams, little league trophies, classic movie posters of Sophia Loren, and photos of every single Italian crooner who ever made a record.
The Perfect Choice For: Birthdays, after-work outings, pre-high school dances, post-shopping chow-downs and sharing large meals with friends and family
