We have reserved the Wine Room in Papa Vino's for our rehearsal dinner next summer, as it was the site of our first date while students at Notre Dame. The general manager Nick was great to work with, as he showed us the various seating options for private parties, including the capacity of each, and was willing to make the reservation more than a year in advance. They have a great Wine Tasting menu that contains several courses served family-style, including appetizers, salads, main courses, entrees, and glasses of wine for everyone. We are looking forward to our rehearsal dinner here and are confident that Nick and his team will make it special for us.

Seriously a great Italian restaurant! We absolutely loved the food and so did everyone else! They brought out dishes family style at each table of wine, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We comfortably fit 45 people. They have more space in the regular seating area, so I'm not sure if they could fit more, but I know they would work with you! The price was around $1000 for 45 people. It was a great price and great food. Papa Vino's is great!

I think every guest we talked to complimented the buffet provided by Papa Vino's. It was excellent from the salad to the dessert. Kylea Demerly, the catering manager, is amazing and very dependable. She impressed us at the taste-testing, came through for us with linen rental a week before our wedding, and set up our meal despite a record-breaking torrential downpour. It proved to us her gusto, professionalism, and ability to work with whatever comes her way. One of her assistants also provided transportation for our officiant who had been temporarily stranded at our venue. We were glad to have chosen such caring people and mouth-watering food for our big day.
