Buca De Beppo is a good casual place for the amount of people you are thinking of. I've attended a rehearsal dinner there and it was nice.
Brazenhead Irish Pub would be a spacious and casual place too.
Most restuarants let you have a room for the amount of guests you are interested in so that would be your best option.
Happy Planning!
Cmeddie- have you considered having the rehearsal dinner at someone's home? If that's a possibility I would suggest having The Hideaway in Northside cater. My fiance and I love The Hideaway's food, (we have NEVER had a bad meal there) but their dining room is too small to accommodate 40 people.
Olives in Clifton could probably accommodate your party and the are reasonbly priced....
I can make other suggestions but you need to let us know what area you are looking to have your dinner. Cinci is a big town and there are lots of great places to eat depending on how far you want to drive.
We're having the same problem, we're paying for it ourselves so we're trying to consider all options. i think we're going ot contact Dewey's pizza and go relaxed since the wedding is very formal.
We are considering just doing something at our house for the rehearsal dinner, or something inexpensive as well. Buca's is a good thought - although you can never go wrong with Dewey's or Larosa's or something. :)
I went to a rehearsal dinner at Bucca in Jan. For 20 people the bill was well over $1,300. They charge a lot and grat high. I think like $20 and you must pre-order apps.
Hofbrauhous in Newport? It's (almost) one of a kind... I think the only other one is in Germany and it's super festive. Or Rock Bottom Brewery in Fountain Square. Note one-of-a-kind, but everyone loves a good microbrew! I also like Rookwood Pottery (more expensive), Sky Gallery (overlooks the runways at the old Lunken Airport) and anything on the river (Montgomery Inn boathouse, etc).
@MangoSmoothie: Good suggestions! I'm not sure some of them are my style (not a beer drinker) but I think guests would love 'em!

We can't decide a place to go for 40 people that will be fairly inexpensive and casual. We aren't fancy people. Any suggestions...
It's a Friday night, in October...
Thanks!
