The following is RonR suggestion and I am in. Anyone want to bring a bottle of wine?
I checked on the restaurant in Beford/Colleyville area. Still there. A little family owned place that's been there for a long time. Good pizza and pasta stuff.
It's BYOB, so could be a hassle for those who want adult beverages. I'm not sure if that area is dry or not. I told them I would let them know if they should be prepared for an invasion, but no reservations necessary.

Seriously? (I mean this
IS pretty friggin' serious; Italian food served WITHOUT chianti? Momma-mia!)
I'll grab a bottle of SantaMargharita Pinot Grigio and a corkscrew...
I'm no wineologist but I think it's tasty, it is Italian, and it does it's "job" well
I'm up for some really good Italian fo-sho. [thumbsup]
Definitely a no-go on this dinner. Have fun everybody!
You kids have fun [thumbsup]
We will bring an 11-pack of Italian and German beers
i'm in. catch you crazy kids there.

Wine is chillin',
Fosters is pouring,
Puggle is snuggling.
All is right in my little world today. :)
I have contacted the eatery, and confirmed they have not closed down, moved away, burned down, or closed due to possible tornados or hurricanes.
Not having met us, they seemed pleased to hear about our Italian motorcycle gang coming for dinner.

Hey Leo!
Looks like I missed a great time.

weird. that's what she said, too.
Missed another one, I think I need to be more centrally located.
It was a great time (as usual!) with a great bunch.
To everyone on the OTHER end of the table: Sorry I didn't get to hang out with you...
I wish we had a round table when the group gets this big!!! [bang]
All in all a fun time...

Good times!

BTW #2: Hey Mark, sorry I couldn't hear you at the light--Taproot was playing in the helmet. ;D
Man, it took about three d@mn cycles for that light to turn. I think I tried every position possible. I was about to run the thing about the time you pulled up, and it turned green.
Holy shit those pics are great!! Thanks Charles for the ride, nose picking, beer, and food! And thanks Leo for the Kiss, its been awhile since I have seen you. Looks like a great time, alot of new faces i see, glad the group is getting better/bigger. Just wish I had someone to ride with. :'(
for the record, my progresso italian wedding soup (with saltines) and J&B scotch was awesome, as well.

I get that alot. You know, come to think of it, she did say, I don't know why she's (Bonwilder) with you. Yeah, I thought the same thing you all did, JEALOUS! Sometimes I just gotta beat them off with a stick :-\

Hey Leo!
Looks like I missed a great time.
Great to see old friends and new ones. Sorry I missed ya Bryant. Be back from time to time and as I told Lisa, Deal Gap is only 170 miles of great riding from me so come on by... [clap]
That was a fun dinner - cool to see Leo again. Thanks Charles for working out the details. Amore had some great Italian food, reasonably priced. The whole byob thing didn't slow anyone down (shocking, I know) [laugh] I hope this place gets added to the DFWM event calendar/map thread ;D
I wish I'd had a chance to talk to everyone - there's a lot of new faces to go along with the old familiar ones. I'm gonna seriously try to remember everyone's name and screen names so I won't fumble around at the next meet-up,
"Hey! Yeah, uh... Shcemntoug... great to see you agian..." Not that I've pulled that kinda $@*^ before...
Oh and thanks for the pix George and Rich - good stuff [thumbsup]

Wow, no kidding that's Jen's favorite wine. She's stuck on Pinot G and I have tried a dozen on her over the years and that's her favorite. Too bad she couldn't get hooked on the cheaper ones it tried!
Wow, Leo you sneaky dog!! Way to keep quiet on the board then surprise everyone at dinner!! Don't do that again!! Would loved to have been there but had to stay home and ride herd on Mr. C while Jen had dinner out with the girls. We were close in thought though... pizza for the boys and watched Dust and Glory for the 20th time! Colin's pick but fine with me, at least it wasn't Star Wars, Indiana Jones or f#@king Sponge Bob. I think he knows where step Dad draws the line. ;D
Looks like a great time had by all! Missed seeing you Leo, will catch you next time you are here on a double secret mission! [thumbsup] Where was that restaurant again? Looks really good in the pics. [wine]

Hey Buddy- Sorry I missed you too. They let me out of my closet early so I had to make a run out to see the "D.. MFers" [cheeky]
It was in Colleyville. Basically due west of DFW airport on Cheek-Sparger (about three or four miles west of 121). Super easy to get to and lots of parking. Yeah ;D
[thumbsup]
Highly recommend... Bucca di Beppo (http://www.bucadibeppo.com/) and there is one on this side and one in Southlake which may be close enough for all of us?? Anyway when are we getting together on this side again?
There's one right across from Northpark in Dallas on Park Lane.

Yep I was thinking that would make a good stop for us, then we could head up the street to Motopia if we were so inclined.
We had a great time last night. Can't wait to do it again. Loved seeing all the (http://emoticons4u.com/country/Italy.gif) bikes and the (http://emoticons4u.com/country/Japan.gif) ones too!
Fun dinner. Impressive numbers of wine bottles were brung by people on scooters. Good pictures CJ, looks like LYD had a great time!
Thanks Leo for hooking up with us, great surprise!

No problem! You should seriously consider the hill country trip! If you don't have a bike by then I will let you ride cupcake! [thumbsup]
Go for it brother! Tell your lady happy birthday from all of us! Yes, please do something really nice for her b-day. You're a gentleman, a Texan, treat your SO with all the respect she deserves and then some. My Mama raised me right. Plus, there is the whole "kitchen point" thing going on... never hurts bro'!! Do something special, no expense spared... send the bill to Scott! He's out of town, he'll never look at his bill! Hope she has a great birthday... make sure it's a special one for her!! [thumbsup]
