Buca di Beppo, a chain of “family style” Italian restaurants, has a Pope Room in every location. You can ask for your group to sit there and it has various Pope-related material including a bust of the pontiff. The Buca web site has a drawing of him saying, “Table for XVI please...” :)

ROFL!!! We have a Buca di Beppo here in Albany and hold our staff Christmas luncheon there every year. Surprisingly good food for a chain restaurant and great atmosphere.
I went once. We weren’t even in the “pope room,” but there were tons of pictures of various pontiffs scattered around. Then as we left we saw the room w/ the bust on the table. Tad creepy.
There’s one near me!
Sounds great.
