Perfect locations for small wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, birthday parties, corporate events, baptisms, or any other event to experience the feel of Italy!!!

Karen Tambellini of The Event Consultants, Jana Weir of Reher’s Weddings and Events, and Liz King of Li’K Designs were treated to an amazing lunch at the Buca di Beppo location in Irvine. Danny Schertzer, Paisano Partner, and Neda Espresor, Sales Manager at the Irvine location, were our host and hostess. Also joining us were Yvette Openshaw, Sales Manager at Buca’s Anaheim location, and Joscelyn Runnells, Sales Manager at Buca’s two-story Huntington Beach location.

 

The Group

Yvette, Joscelyn and Neda

Our lunch started off with a combination of appetizers, and the stuffed mushrooms with pesto sauce were to die for!  Next Neda and her staff treated us to a couple of their most popular entrees.  The Penne San Remo with the artichoke hearts was totally scrupulous.  For a lighter entre, the Chicken Limone was wonderful.  And for our dessert, we had the most amazing cake with fresh whipped cream, mascarpone cheese and a raspberry coulis, to die for!!  The whole meal was FABULOUS!  If you are thinking of a rehearsal dinner, a small wedding reception (there was one actually going on when we were there!) or maybe a corporate event, give Yvette, Joscelyn, or Neda a shout out.  They would love to help plan your event!

Coming from an Italian background, Karen Tambellini (owner of The Event Consultants) said that she felt like she was “at home”, and it brought back many wonderful memories of her family and the great food that she grew up with!  “It was like being in Grandma’s kitchen again”. 

So if you want to escape and experience everything that this wonderful venue has to offer, make your reservation today and start planning your next event there!

Thank you, again, Neda, Danny, Yvette, and Joscelyn for a fun, fun lunch! 

Ciao!!!
