Private Dinners for groups of 6-20 people (minimum of 8 on Fridays and Saturdays). We will design a menu for the evening including a selection of appetizers (anti pasti), first course (primi) second course (secondi) and dessert (dolci). The menu selection is based on seasonal availability of our garden fruits and vegetables as well as the chef's preference for preparing his favorite dishes or latest creations. Dishes that are based on a special ingredient or that are from a particular region of Italy are often featured. See our sample menus below for examples of past dinners. At this time we do not sell alcoholic beverages but we encourage you to bring wine of your choice to compliment your menu. Please note that we have a strict no smoking policy both inside and outside Nostrano.

The cost of a private dinner at Nostrano is $75.00 per person all inclusive (tax and gratuity are included in the $75 price). Payment is expected at the conclusion of the evening by check or cash (sorry, at this time we do not accept credit cards). The cost of an offsite barbecue event is determined per person based on the menu selected. Nostrano is open all year. See our reservation page for more information or to book an event.
