Osteria via Stato’s Parties & Events Manager, Allison Gallese, offers a worry-free solution for hosting intimate celebrations.
The Italian approach to entertaining is to keep it simple-great food served with great wine. Parties & Events, Manager Allison Gallese has a simple approach to entertaining: The Chef’s Table. All you need to do is arrive with your guests and let the Chef take care of the rest with great food and great wine waiting for you at the table.

AMBIENCE: The Chef’s Table is a culinary adventure with the chef as your personal tour guide sharing cooking techniques and methods as you and your guest enjoy seasonal dishes. It’s just like being invited by the Chef at his table.
INVITES: As you plan your guest list, keep in mind that our antiqued-farmhouse table can accommodate 6 to 18 guests. Remember, this is an intimate gathering with the Chef and guests both sharing their love of food and cooking.
MENU: The menu selected and prepared by the Chef and begin at $75 per guests excluding your wine selections, tax and gratuity. The menu is a progression of courses that will include antipasti, primi, secondi and dolce. However, expect small bites and surprises along the way.
