Best Restaurant for a Party

September 21 2005

Buca di Beppo
Various locations; www.bucadibeppo.com

This Southern Italian eatery, open seven days a week, is the absolute-best place for large groups to party. Everything comes family-style, and you can order platters of delicious food from the regular menu, such as ravioli with meat sauce, a surprisingly sweet chicken Marsala or the di Beppo "1893" salad, which is an assortment of Italian meats and cheeses. The restaurant also offers a special menu specifically for parties, so you can order as early as two weeks in advance. However, the enormous portions, outgoing staff and fun, kitschy atmosphere make having a party at this place an offer we can't refuse.
