The Rehearsal Dinner At Buca di Beppo

The night before Jake and Brianna's wedding, we hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant in Eden Prairie. It was a warm, cozy place to be on a cold winters night, and most everyone invited was able to attend.

Items chosen from the Glorioso Menu included: Bruschetta and Fried Mozzarella, Caesar and Chopped Antipasta Salads, Baked Ziti and Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, Eggplant Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala, Italian Broccoli Romano and Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto, and Mini Chocolate Chip Cannoli and Tiramisu. Plus, wine. Phew.

I think the evening turned out well. The room was loud with talking and laughing! Towards the end of the night, I asked if we could bring home left over food, and there was a lot. Our waiter said they normally weren't supposed to, but that he would do that for us. And then it turned out that John B. had a huge family of siblings at home that would be thrilled to eat all of that food. So, of course, I had to give our waiter an extra big tip for being so good to us. 😍
