At Urbana, a commitment to craftsmanship guides everything we do, from our handmade artisan pastas to the welcoming hospitality we extend to our guests. With its sleek bar and artistic lighting, Urbana’s décor takes inspiration from 1920s New York. A Mediterranean-sunset palette adds a splash of sophistication to any event, whether it's a business meeting in our private dining room, a romantic dinner for two or a night out with friends in our lounge. No matter the occasion, Executive Chef Ethan McKee believes in simple preparations that showcase the light, fresh flavors of Italy and local ingredients even from our own backyard (literally: we raid our rooftop garden daily for fresh-picked herbs and veggies).

We know you want your DC event to wow, whether it’s a splashy wedding bash, a campaign fundraiser or just an intimate get-together with friends. At Urbana, our sleek décor provides a modern, comfortable setting for your unforgettable Dupont Circle event. We can accommodate everything from the smallest events to restaurant buyouts for up to 200 guests. Our secret ingredient is Chef Ethan McKee , who oversees Urbana’s original, taste-tempting menu of light, fresh dishes inspired by the Italian coast.
