About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Osteria is a wedding venue and award-winning restaurant located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Executive chef and owner Jeff Michaud began learning his craft at just 13 years old in his family’s pizza shop. Led by the artistry of his grandmother Jacqueline and her showstopping wedding cakes, he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1998. Winning the James Beard Foundation Award in 2010 for “Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic”, this culinary legend is sure to wow on your wedding day.

Facilities and Capacity

The building that Osteria now calls home was once a garment factory, offering the venue a historic, industrial-chic look with exposed brick and large windows. You’ll have a variety of spaces to choose from for your celebration, including the Greenhouse, Main Dining Room, Outdoor Patio, as well as private dining rooms. Osteria can happily host up to 120 of your nearest and dearest for your one-of-a-kind romantic reception.

Services Offered

No one will be leaving your wedding meal hungry with Osteria as your catering team. The meal can be stations, family-style, or a cocktail hour, as you desire. Their family approach to dining allows you to enjoy a wide selection of specialties from their free-flowing kitchen. Signature seasonal dishes include Chicken Liver Rigatoni with Cipollini Onions and Sage and the Lombarda Pizza with Baked Egg, Bitto Cheese, Mozzarella, and Cotechino Sausage. Meanwhile, the bar serves Italian aperitifs, classic and new, while a prodigiously-stocked cellar assures a robust selection of more than 400 Italian wines.

More than we could ask for!

Our wedding at Osteria was more than what we imagined! We were looking at various restaurant venues since we wanted more of an intimate dinner party vibe with elements of a ‘typical’ wedding - space for ceremony, seated dinner for 110-120 guests, dance floor. Osteria was one of the few places that could accommodate within our preferred budget. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and able to accommodate exactly what we wanted. Food and drink was impeccable, and service top notch. So many of our guests went out of their way to rave about it all. Thanks to Emma who really went above and beyond and made the entire planning process so seamless. She’s super responsive with great ideas!

Incredible!

We hosted our wedding here in the green house. Everything was incredibly smooth. The staff were very professional, the vibes were immaculate, and most of all, the food was amazing. Every one of our guests raved about the venue. Communication was very clear leading up to the event. We are so happy we went with Osteria for our big day!

The perfect reception venue!

Having an intimate dinner reception at Osteria was the one thing I knew I wanted for my wedding before I knew anything else! They knocked it out of the park in every category - the food was impeccable (and all of our guests are fully obsessed with it), the coordination behind the scenes was so smooth, and they were just so generous and accommodating! Something I’ll note for anyone trying to save money is that we rented out the patio and greenhouse for 54 total guests, and not only were the food and beverage prices super reasonable, but I didn’t feel like I had to add any extra decor! I got the aesthetic I wanted for a price tag of $0 extra. Some food recs because I have to: the broccolini caesar is the absolute #1, but we’re also lowkey obsessed with the Thumbelina carrots. The wood fired chicken, I have to be honest, I came in with low expectations and I was BLOWN AWAY. I wish I knew what they did to that chicken because I want it every week!!
