Absolutely. We understand that private events often include guests with various dietary needs, and we’re experienced in accommodating these requirements without compromising the quality of the overall dining experience.
Our menu includes naturally gluten-friendly options, and we can prepare dishes to meet specific dietary restrictions when discussed in advance. During your event planning consultation, we’ll review any special dietary needs and ensure appropriate options are available.

For larger groups, we often recommend a combination approach—perhaps our chicken parmigiana alongside our fresh salmon with seasonal vegetables, giving guests variety while maintaining the cohesive Italian theme. Our risotto dishes, particularly the seafood risotto with shrimp, scallops, and mussels, always impress guests and work well for sharing-style service.
We’ll guide you toward selections that work best for your specific group and event style during our menu consultation.
We recommend booking your private event at least 2-3 weeks in advance, though we can often accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability and group size. Earlier booking gives us more flexibility in menu planning and ensures we can secure your preferred date and time.
For corporate events or celebrations during busy seasons—like holiday parties, graduation celebrations, or popular wedding months—booking 4-6 weeks ahead is advisable. This timeline allows for proper menu customization, coordination of any special requests, and ensures our kitchen can dedicate the appropriate attention to your event.
If you have a last-minute need, don’t hesitate to call. We understand that sometimes important events come together quickly, and we’ll work to accommodate when possible.
