A delightful place to have an evening meal! My husband and I stopped in for some pizza. The wait was an hour, so we sat at the bar for a drink and the barkeep, Mike, was so hospitable that we decided to take our name off the list for the dining room and have our pizza there. It was fun to be able to watch it bake, as the pizza oven is right by the end of the bar. The cracker thin crust was excellent and we combined their specialty pizza of the week, Butternut Squash with another of their specialties, the Fennel Sausage. It was so delicious!! I highly recommend the pizza and this establishment!
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)

We have been coming to OVS on and off for over 10 years now. It is just across the street from us, but not after COVID. We used to love their warm ciabatta bread with the aged balsamic and roasted garlic, actually it was the main reason why we went and it WAS free for the table. The short rib was also my favorite while the pasta dishes were also quite good. Never had the pizza.
Today simply reminded me why we haven't gone back as much as we should. Both serive and food quality have gone down hill. This is what happens when you cut corners.
The service was slow. From time of order to getting that tiny cheese board for $17.99 took over 30 mins. The pasta came when we just started on the cheese board. It was probably 60% capacity on a Wednesday night.
The Cacio E Pepe lacked flavor and depth, and packed with grease. I haven't seen this much grease in a pasta dish since I went to a Olive Garden 20 year ago. The Cavatelli was Ok, the sauce was also bland.
Whatever happened to OVS, especially being part of LEY, unless they make some changes soon, we won't be back.

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!

Phenomenal! That’s all I can say.

Service, Ambience, cuisine.
The restaurant was connected to a hotel, so you never know… but it was amazing. Everything was either phenomenal or at a minimum good.

If you’re looking for a wedding that is cozy yet elegant this is the place for you. Natalie and Katherine were amazing coordinators and help us plan the perfect wedding. Nothing was “no we don’t do that” , answers were, yes we can do that. they made my job as the mom giving the wedding a breeze and made me look good. EVERYONE who attended said they have never been to a better reception. Food, Service, Staff, Drinks, all POINT ON!!! We couldn’t have picked a better place. Thank you all who help us have the perfect wedding. And it even rained a little… but no one cared.
I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at Osteria Via Stato for a business dinner. The servers were extremely attentive, accommodative, and lovely despite the massive party.
The food was pretty solid! Firstly, the bread was phenomenal. It tasted fresh and NOT stale whatsoever. The accompanying garlic oil and cheese were also super delicious.
The main standouts were the crispy potatoes and the cheese cake. The potatoes were light, yet crispy, and the cheese cake had a refined flavor from the ricotta.
On the other hand - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fillet mignon. It was a little dry for my liking, and I didn’t feel like the arugula salad was doing any favors. I felt like the dish needed a sauce to round out the whole plate.
Overall, if you are looking for a place to accommodate a large party, Osteria Via Stato is definitely worth looking into!
