We started out the evening with dinner at Buca di Beppo. Their mission is to capture the fun and enthusiasm of an authentic Italian gathering along with delectable food. Buca di Beppo is designed to make every occasion a party! All of the dishes on the menu are inspired by the cuisine enjoyed for generations in villages throughout Italy and are served family-style.
With six of us in attendance, we choose to share small (intended to feed about 3 people) portions of salad and 3 entrees. It was the perfect amount for all of us to share a delicious meal but not feel stuffed.
Antipasti
Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken
Chicken Carbonara
Cheese Manicotti
The decor at Buca di Beppo is quite eclectic with the walls covered with framed photos of people enjoying themselves, most of which are in black and white. The photos stand out, not only because they are fun, but also because the wall and other decor is very vibrant and colorful. And definitely don’t forget to check out the bathrooms!
Dinner was followed by a Candlelight Concert at The Transept in downtown Cincinnati. The Transept was once a German Gothic church and has since been absolutely transformed into a historic landmark and unique event space. Originally built in 1868, this building was once St. John’s Unitarian Church, the first German-American Evangelical and Reformed Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
