Osteria Via Stato

We had our wedding at Osteria on 10/28/23 and it was absolutely amazing. We wanted a restaurant to eliminate number of vendors and also liked having an intimate setting that a restaurant provided. Osteria ended up being the perfect choice and has the most supportive and attentive staff and planning team to help. Any questions we had throughout the process, we usually received a response within the hour and the planning team of Natalie, Alison, and Katherine never missed a beat! As the event got closer, we got to meet with them more and they were so on top of every detail. The tasting was amazing and they were so willing to work with our requests, dietary needs, and meeting the minimum. Our other vendors found them easy to work with as well. During the actual wedding, my husband and I were so relaxed because Natalie made sure everything flowed properly and kept us on schedule, so we didn't have to worry about any issue or small detail at all. Our guests have still been raving about the excellent service and atmosphere, and cannot stop complimenting how amazing the food was. We really wanted to prioritize the venue, food, and fun, and that's exactly what we got with Osteria, all within an affordable package right in the middle of downtown Chicago! I couldn't be happier with the choice, and I am even more happy we have a delicious place to celebrate our anniversary now :) Thank you so much to the entire staff of Osteria via Stato for making our wedding the best day ever! (Hoping to share more pictures once I get them in)

If you’re looking for a wedding that is cozy yet elegant this is the place for you. Natalie and Katherine were amazing coordinators and help us plan the perfect wedding. Nothing was “no we don’t do that” , answers were, yes we can do that. they made my job as the mom giving the wedding a breeze and made me look good. EVERYONE who attended said they have never been to a better reception. Food, Service, Staff, Drinks, all POINT ON!!! We couldn’t have picked a better place. Thank you all who help us have the perfect wedding. And it even rained a little… but no one cared.

We had our wedding after-party at this restaurant and it was awesome. The restaurant’s event planners, Natalie and Allison, were very resposive and accountable. We had several guests who had food restrictions but Natalie and Allison gave us helpful advice to manage the menu. Also the waiters were very friendly and professional. Our guests loved all the delicious food and beverages including bottomless Bellinis. (We ordered Italian Luncheon and Brunch Package for drinks) Also we ordered flowers from Flower for Dreams who have worked with Osteria Via Stato numerous times. I highly recommend this restaurant when you plan any events!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at Osteria Via Stato for a business dinner. The servers were extremely attentive, accommodative, and lovely despite the massive party. The food was pretty solid! Firstly, the bread was phenomenal. It tasted fresh and NOT stale whatsoever. The accompanying garlic oil and cheese were also super delicious. The main standouts were the crispy potatoes and the cheese cake. The potatoes were light, yet crispy, and the cheese cake had a refined flavor from the ricotta. On the other hand - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fillet mignon. It was a little dry for my liking, and I didn’t feel like the arugula salad was doing any favors. I felt like the dish needed a sauce to round out the whole plate. Overall, if you are looking for a place to accommodate a large party, Osteria Via Stato is definitely worth looking into!

Such a pleasure to dine in a good solid establishment that centers the experience around food and wine which in both cases was nothing short of remarkable. The service was attentive, quick and courteous. The space looks and feels cozy and expensive. Thoroughly enjoyable. Go! Enjoy!
