Local Flair and Nearby Attractions

Hosting a group event at Buca di Beppo means you’re steps away from Columbus highlights. We’re right across from Nationwide Arena, making our location the go-to for sports fans and concert groups. The Greater Columbus Convention Center is just a quick stroll, perfect if your attendees are in town for a major expo or business gathering. Out-of-town guests will appreciate the proximity to top hotels like the Hilton Columbus Downtown and Hyatt Regency. After your feast, your group can enjoy the vibrant nightlife in the Arena District or take a relaxing walk along the Scioto Mile, both just moments away.

Transportation couldn’t be easier. Ample parking is available, and public transit access puts us within easy reach whether you’re coming from the Short North, German Village, or Grandview Heights. This central spot takes the guesswork out of planning and ensures your group event fits seamlessly into a day or evening out in Columbus.

We understand that no two gatherings are alike. Our flexible event menus let you select from a wide range of appetizers, salads, signature pastas, and entrees, creating the perfect spread for any group size or preference. Drink packages are available for all kinds of celebrations—including hosted bars, cash bars, or drink tickets, depending on what suits your event best.

Whether your group is gathering for a milestone birthday, a corporate team-building meal, a university alumni night, or a pre-game dinner, we work with you to plan every detail. Our event planners handle everything from table arrangements to day-of coordination, letting you focus on the fun. Prefer a more intimate celebration? Reserve a table for a smaller group and enjoy all the same Italian hospitality in a cozier setting.
