Buca di Beppo

Diamond Head Theatre’s actors and actresses are all volunteers, and as such we try to do as much as we can to make them feel appreciated for the 10 weeks of their lives they give us for each production. One of the ways we show our thanks is through our opening-night cast parties, and one of our favorite venues for those parties is Buca di Beppo.

From the moment we walk in at 11 p.m. (!) we feel welcomed. From the greeters at the door to the waiters in our private room, the staff is unfailingly happy to see us.

And despite having to deal with 30 to 40 hungry and thirsty kids, teens and adults descending on them almost simultaneously, the service is spot-on: Drinks are dispensed and delicious food arrives before we know it.

Providing good value, generous portions and a unique setting with lots of party room opportunities, Buca di Beppo offers up family-friendly fun. We love going there!
