Rehearsal at Pasta Beach

I know I've been talking about my sister's wedding a bunch, but hey, that's what's been going on recently! So to continue with this pattern, I thought I'd give a glimpse into the rehearsal dinner.

Held at Boston's Pasta Beach restaurant, close to the water and just a walk away from the Intercontinental Hotel (where we were staying for the weekend), the restaurant is the sister to the original Pasta Beach in Newport, RI.

It's delicious and simple Italian food with a flare.

Being that we were quite a large party - about 35 people - we had private seating outdoors on the patio. It was a gorgeous summer night, made even better with a cold glass of Pinot Grigio upon arrival.

The menu for the private party was pre fixe menu, served family style.  I sadly did not take any pictures of the meal -- although I guess you can thank me for saving you from having drool on your keyboard. Everything was phenomenal. From the bread, to the salads, to the pizza, pasta, meat, and veggies; each bite was better than the next.

The service was great too, which always makes for a fully satisfying experience.

If you're in the Boston (or Newport!) area, I strongly urge you to go. And go hungry! There's plenty you'll want to order. Check out the menu(s) here: http://www.pastabeachrestaurants.com/

I wasn't able to snap too many pictures that night, and those that I did were on my phone (poor quality) but here are a few:

Mom, Chris, Cait, Grant, and me

The Bride-to-Be and her maids: me, Cait, Samantha, Julianne, Taylor, Chelsea

The Groom-to-Be and his groomsmen: Ari, Chris, Adam, Grant, Craig, David

Chris, Cait, Dad, and me

 The three of us "kids" with Mom

After dinner, we all took a walk around Boston Harbor and enjoyed the warm night. Once back at the hotel, we hung around the bar until it was time to get our beauty sleep for the Big Day!
