We like to think of Buca di Beppo as a hidden gem. Not just because the Italian restaurant is nestled in the trees of The Woodlands, in the Portofino Shopping Center, but because of the variety of things they offer - from delicious authentic Italian cuisine to enjoy, as a party of two or a wedding party of two hundred, to the festive, family-style atmosphere and vintage setting they offer as part of their banquet services. Another thing that makes them a unique find? Free, yes free, banquet room rental! (You'll have to read on to find out more.)
We chatted with Yvette Openshaw, Houston Sales Manager, to find out more about Buca di Beppo and how they can help you host the perfect rehearsal dinner, engagement party, bridal shower or event of your choice.
WB: What services does Buca di Beppo in The Woodlands area offer brides?
YO: We are a fabulous Italian restaurant with excellent group menus served family style; we offer private dining options with no room charges. We have seven different banquet options to accommodate parties plus the patio which holds up to 48 people. Buca is a great place for brides/grooms to celebrate their engagement parties, bridal showers and rehearsal dinners!
WB: What advice do you have for brides looking for a place to host their wedding-related events?
YO: Brides should look at venues that are experienced in hosting group events and that have an excellent track record. They should make sure they are choosing a venue that cares about tailoring the event to their needs; they should expect courteous and timely service from their first meeting through the celebration of their event. And let’s not forget about the food…the food should be as great at their event as it was at the tasting.
WB: Speaking of great tasting food, what catering options do brides, and others, have at Buca?
YO: For off-site catering, we have simply amazing price points for the bride that is looking for casual, buffet service and desires the same great menu items found at our restaurant.

WB: We must ask. What is your personal favorite thing on the menu?
YO: That is a tough question because I don’t have just one and neither do our truly dedicated staff and management team. I love our Apple Gorgonzola Salad, Chicken Limone, Shrimp Florentine and Spicy Chicken Rigatoni!
WB: So besides the delicious food, what makes for a successful wedding event, in your opinion?
YO: Great atmosphere, great service and the love of family and friends that are there to celebrate the bride and groom-to-be!
WB: We can't agree more! What other events, not wedding related, can/does Buca di Beppo host?
YO: Everything imaginable, from birthdays to graduations, baptisms and communions, corporate meetings to sports banquets, baby showers to retirements to celebrations of life.
WB: What specifically do you want brides to know about Buca di Beppo?
YO: We know what a special time this is in your life so we want to go that extra mile to both please and celebrate you.
