Buca Di Beppo + Boncos = Good times


Ever been to Buca Di Beppo's ?

It's a favorite spot of our Bonco's group and we have many a funny story from different excursions there. One such experience may or may not involve Frank Layden (former coach of the Utah Jazz), but you'd have to have been there to get the whole joke.

Anyhoo, this is where we went for dinner tonight and even though we were missng two of our couples, we still had a wonderful evening of fantastic food, great service from Jules, and best of all, enjoying each other.



 

I had saved all my calories for the day so I was freaking starving and for sure ate more than I should have, but when there are dishes like Chicken Carbonara, Penne Ariabiatta, and Shrimp Di Favoloa (sp), and topped off with some Tiramisu?  How could I resist?  Not to mention the garlic bread.  Whole cloves of garlic RIGHT ON THE BREAD.  I will be smelling like garlic for days to come!

One of the funnest things of all about the restaurant is the hilarious pictures they have throughout every room.  When they sat us at our table, it was immediately obvious where I would choose to sit.,




Yeah, I now, I am so classy.  And what the crap happened to my lips?  Note to M-Cat.  PUT LIPSTICK ON YOU DORK!

What a great time, and to my besties - B's and D's.... I love you.  To my mising besties - C's and D's, we missed you.  Next month!

    We have been there once and it was the pictures that had us lauging the whole night so I noticed the "melon" picture above your head first thing.
    When we went, the kids went into the bathroom and really got an eyeful so I decided it might be a better "adult" restaurant!!

    It is SO yummy!!

    We are such losers. I cannot believe that I made such a mistake on my flight and had to go out a day earlier than Rob. I was running around like crazy trying to get ready and never thought about Boncos. And there I was sitting alone on my bed at the hotel when you called. I would have much rather been with the group but what can you do??
