We recommend booking your private event at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates and during busy seasons like holidays or graduation time. This gives us adequate time to coordinate your custom menu, arrange staffing, and ensure every detail meets your expectations.
For larger events or those requiring extensive customization, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is ideal. However, we understand that some celebrations come up quickly, so don’t hesitate to call even if your event is just a week away—we’ll do our best to accommodate you based on availability.
Our private event pricing varies based on your group size, menu selections, and service style. We offer both prix fixe menu options and customized packages to fit different budgets and preferences.

Absolutely. We regularly accommodate various dietary needs including gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-specific requirements. Our chefs are experienced in modifying traditional Italian dishes to meet dietary restrictions without compromising flavor.
When you book your event, we’ll discuss any dietary needs during the planning process. We can often prepare gluten-free versions of our pasta dishes, create vegan alternatives using high-quality ingredients, and work around common allergies like shellfish or nuts.
For guests with severe allergies, we take extra precautions in our kitchen to prevent cross-contamination. We ask that you provide us with detailed information about any serious allergies at least one week before your event so we can prepare properly.
While our private dining room creates an elegant atmosphere for business gatherings, we don’t provide built-in audio-visual equipment. However, we can work with you to accommodate basic presentation needs for corporate events.
Our upstairs space has electrical outlets and can accommodate portable projectors, laptops, and small sound systems that you bring or rent separately. We’re happy to help coordinate the room setup to ensure your presentation flows smoothly with the dining experience.
For events requiring extensive AV equipment, we recommend connecting with local rental companies who can deliver and set up professional equipment in our space. We’ll coordinate with them to ensure everything is ready before your guests arrive.
We understand that guest counts can fluctuate, especially for family celebrations or business events. We try to be as flexible as possible while ensuring we’re properly staffed and prepared for your group.
For increases in guest count, we can usually accommodate up to 10% more guests with 48-72 hours notice, depending on our overall restaurant capacity that evening. For decreases, we ask for at least 48 hours notice to adjust food preparation and avoid unnecessary charges.
Significant changes (more than 20% of your original count) may require menu or setup adjustments, which we’ll discuss with you as soon as possible. Our goal is to make sure your event succeeds regardless of last-minute changes, so we’ll work with you to find solutions that work for everyone.
