/PRNewswire/ -- Buca di Beppo is marking its 15th anniversary with
a bella festa for every guest. From July 14 to August 10, guests
celebrating their "amore" for Buca di Beppo at any of the 89
restaurants nationwide will enjoy a special anniversary menu and
will receive a party favor as unique as Buca itself. "Buca di Beppo
has always been the place to cut loose and celebrate. And after 15
years of hosting the best birthday parties, graduations,
anniversaries, rehearsal dinners and other special events, it's
time to throw a party for Buca," said John Bettin, Chief Executive
Officer, Buca, Inc. "Of course, we're giving away the presents: a
commemorative, specially priced menu, and valuable prizes for every
guest. It's our way of saying 'thank you' for all of the good times
we've had -- and the good times we'll share over the next 15
years." Buca di Beppo's anniversary menu features 15 of its most
popular original dishes, all offered at classic pricing that
recalls better days when gas was just $1.16 a gallon and movie
tickets were a mere $4.25. The classic menu was created in honor of
the millions of guests whose fanatical devotion has brought the
restaurant tremendous success over the past 15 years. Guests and
critics alike hail Buca di Beppo's fresh Italian specialties; the
restaurant has earned more than 100 "Best of Citysearch" awards and
dozens of nods in national and local magazines and daily and weekly
newspapers, including "Best Italian Food," "Special Occasion,"
"Best Pizza," "Group Dining," and numerous others. As part of the
anniversary celebration, every Buca di Beppo guest will also
receive a party favor -- and not of the plastic kazoo variety,
either. The restaurant is giving away more than 1 million prizes
with a value of $10 million; prizes include dinners for 15 at the
Pope's Table, parties at the highly-coveted Kitchen Table and
complimentary menu items. At the end of the anniversary
celebration, one guest will be selected to receive the ultimate
prize: a trip for four to Italy. Official rules, including details
on how to participate without purchase, are available at
http://www.bucadibeppo.com/. For a celebration large or small, Buca
di Beppo's menu of Italian specialties includes single-serving
portions, called Buca Mio, and family style dishes for small and
large groups: Buca Small portions serve two-to-three people, and
