Reviews for Osteria Via Stato in Chicago, IL

I reserved a private room called “The chef’s table” for 20 people and from the very beginning of planning (2 months... before) to the very end, the event managers were wonderful to work with. Everything is so organized and detailed. I met the chefwhile I was decorating in the morning and he was extremely helpful as well! When it came time for dinner we were blown away! Iloved the setup… I ordered passed appetizers before dinner and it was such a nice touch and added an element of elegance. Ialso ordered a champagne toast which I highly recommend. I ordered the highest “level” Of dinner option because it gives youthe choice of filet mignon and everyone raved about the filet so this is definitely a must! I’ve never been to a restaurantwhere every single meal was outstanding… everything was so delicious! I can’t stop thinking about the pasta! I ordered thesalmon and it was also so good. Our server Wallen was great, he made our experience even better! I highly recommend thisrestaurant for a private event and I can’t wait to come back for dinner! Read more

Osteria Via Stato was the perfect place for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. The service was fantastic. They greeter our 45... guests with wine and offered additional beverages from the bar. The food was served family style and absolutely delicious. Everyone had plenty and we received many compliments from the guests. Allison & Natalie were fantastic to work with and attendedto all the requested details as well as ones we did not anticipate like coat racks in the room since the weather turneddramatically colder that day. Thank you for making our event so special! Read more

Osteria Via Stato is the perfect spot to host a wedding! It's a beautiful venue location and five-star caterer rolled into one,... and they include so many amenities/accommodations with their wedding package. It made wedding planning much simpler. The WeddingCoordinator was the best part. She was so incredibly patient, kind, and helpful. We have zero complaints and our wedding guestshad a million compliments. Everything was perfect! Read more

My friend recommended this place when I asked her for a pasta restaurant. She had her wedding here so loves everything. We... ordered the Rigatoni, angel hair aglio e olio, warm ciabatta & roasted garlic and charred pepperoni pizza. Everything wasDELICIOUS! I had a picky eater and a “not so easily impressed” person with me and they LOVED every dish. I would totallycome back. They also have a nice happy hour special- half off all pizzas and select wines. It’s only for an hour though socheck the time on their website. The only thing that was annoying was that we sat outside and it was so loud. The sirens, themotorcycles, etc. but I guess that’s part of city living. Read more

My wife and I LOVED this place. The rigatoni and mozzarella pizza were delicious. We sat outside to enjoy the summertime Chi... ambiance, and our hostess was wonderful too. We will definitely eat here again. Read more

We just hosted my husband's graduation at Osteria Via Stato. We had about 52 guests total in the private area. Everything was... GREAT! From the planning portion in the beginning to the clean up at the end - it could not have been better. They madeeverything seamless and easy to plan. And trust me - I am VERY detail oriented and super picky with everything! Allison was soeasy to contact and always communicated quickly. I had absolutely no issues asking questions or getting information. The day ofwe dropped off decorations and centerpieces - I was nervous because there was only 2 hours until the dinner. However, Natalieand the team did great. I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they executed it exactly how it was shown. Our guestsabsolutely loved the venue and raved about the food. From the mixology bar serving our wine and cocktails to the gelato bar -everything was a huge hit! Our guests loved the bruschetta and all of the entree selections. Highly recommend this place andwould totally host another event here in the future. Thank you Allison, Natalie, and our servers of the evening! Read more

Great Chicago Restaurant dining experience. The caesar salad and meatball starters were excellent. The rigatoni with short rib... entree is amazing and a must try! I enjoyed their espresso martini. Read more

I started looking for a venue to host my wedding around November 2020 with the plan of having it in March 2022, and after quite... a few weeks of nosing around (and feeling very hesitant about rough catering reviews from various establishments), I foundOsteria - a beautiful restaurant with glowing feedback and gorgeous photos. It looked like a rustic dream, and the pictures fromother brides only further helped my choice. Suffice to say, the wedding was this past Saturday, and I had the best day of mylife here. Allison, the event manager, was a dream to work with and DEEPLY patient with my ten thousand questions surroundingtiming, vendor inquiries and recommendations, and stress-induced what-ifs. All the way leading up to the event she was graciousand kind, and on the actual day of, she was nothing short of perfect. Everything went smoothly, the venue was beautifullydecorated, and my guests WILL NOT STOP talking about how phenomenal the food was. Not a single wine glass dropped below halfway(I have no idea how many I consumed due to this incredible service) and every need was catered to with speed and efficiency. Irecommend Osteria for any event, party, or even just a dinner out in town, because they are THAT good. I'll never forget thisplace, and even though we've since moved out of state, you bet we'll keep coming back in the future. What an unforgettableexperience! Read more
