Cooler evenings call for something that took all afternoon to make. We braise short rib for hours until it falls apart into a deep, savory ragù, tossed with rigatoni. Pair with a good red and let us take care of dinner tonight.

Meet Pedro, our Sous Chef. He’s been in this kitchen longer than our name has been on the door, and Osteria simply wouldn’t be the same without his loyalty, hard work, and constant smile.

Join us in giving him the appreciation he deserves. ❤️

Before we opened our doors in 2004, a quiet meal in Tuscany set the foundation for everything we do at Osteria Via Stato today. Chef D recently traveled back to Da Delfina — here is a look at the restaurant that inspired it all for us, in his own words:

"What struck me most about Da Delfina, and what inspired us when opening Osteria Via Stato in 2004, is how seriously they take their craft and how proud they are to show you. I love that they do everything themselves, from aging barrels of balsamic in the basement to curing their own prosciutto. They are so seasonally minded that whatever is growing outside is what you’re eating. I just love the simplicity of it all: a plate of greens straight from the garden, chickpeas served with extra virgin olive oil, and overlooking the very olive trees that produced the oil on your table. That philosophy and pride in doing everything in-house is what I’m most inspired by."

Michaela and Ryan’s favorite memory happened in a calm pause right before the ceremony:

"Sharing a toast with our wedding party before the ceremony was the perfect unexpected moment to pause, take it all in, and appreciate the people standing beside us before we kicked off what would become such a wonderful evening."

Thank you for hosting your wedding with us, and congratulations, Michaela and Ryan!
