Osteria Via Stato

The Lettuce Entertain You team lures continuous crowds here with Italian shared plates offered at reasonable prices. Servers will steer you toward the “Italian dinner party,” but remember that anything can be ordered à la carte. For the fixed price, seasonal tastes arrive in waves and you choose only your entrée. Marinated olives in herbed oil with warm focaccia are followed by antipasti like veal meatballs. Hearty pastas rotate, but may include a tasty bolognese pappardelle. Skip the wine list and try the creative “Just Bring Me Wine” pairings.
