Everything was great!! The staff was amazing, the food was raved about and the drinks were flowing! They let us come in and setup the day before and then come back 2 days later and collect the items we left behind. Blondie (Valerie especially!) could not have been more accommodating and they were the perfect venue for the smaller, party atmosphere wedding we were going for! Colin and the rest of the service team were top notch! Run, don’t walk to book your event with them because they’ll start being overbooked soon enough!!

She meticulously handled the menu and paid special attention to those with food allergies, who later commented that no other restaurant had been so considerate of their dietary needs, especially with such a large group. Sura's fabulous drinks menu set a convivial tone for our gathering. The space we used was elegantly separated by a discreet and pretty curtain, providing privacy for our event. The staff was attentive and took great care of us. Thank you, Kiran and the Sura staff, for helping us celebrate a wonderful evening!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at Osteria July 2024 and it was the most magical experience. Communication with the whole team throughout the whole process was easy, and Fiona offered so much helpful guidance in navigating and planning the day as a bride with no wedding planner/coordinator. Between the food, cocktails, greenhouse, and overall intimate ambiance it was the best decision we could have made to starting our life together, as we now have a place to go for all of our future celebrations.
