Osteria Via Stato

"If you have never been to Osteria, then I am going to need you to go right now. Me & my girlfriend had a blast during restaurant week. The braised short ribs were perfect, both juicy and tender! The house bread and garlic was delicious it was so hard to put it down."

"Restaurant Week 2024! Got a lot of bang for the buck! First, you got three antipasti served family style. After all the antipasti, I had to bring half my entree home along with the dessert. Fabulous service!"

"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)"

"I highly recommend the pizza of the month, I'm sure all the others are good as well but the home made sausage and mushrooms was WOW!!! Calamari was spot on, my son loved the spaghetti and meatballs, o and the garlic bread was delicious. We will be back the next time we make a trip to Chicago"

"Have your rehearsal dinner here - you won't regret it! We were seriously blown away by how accommodating, friendly, responsive, the staff were, and how smoothly the night went. The food was amazing and the wine was top notch. Our family who knows a lot about wine was seriously impressed. Osteria printed out our menus to our design wants and set up our space with the items we provided beautifully - and they genuinely seemed happy to do all of it. They were affordable for such a high caliber place and service. Can't thank you enough!"
