Enoteca Drago - Great Place for a Private Party

Just threw a dinner party for 22 this past weekend at Enoteca in their upstairs private room.

The room is warm with red brick and wood, houses a small wine cellar, has a/v equipment and they offer the option of separate tables or a large square table. With 22 guests, we chose the large table set up. We provided the staff with flowers and more votives and when we arrived for the party, the table looked beautiful and the room had a welcoming glow.

They offer various menus that range from $50/pp to $70+/pp. I created a menu based on their menu examples and the current dinner menu.

A week before the event, we met with the manager and confirmed the menu and tasted some wines since I wanted to offer a quasi wine tasting to compliment the menu.

Overall, it was a huge success. Our guests raved about the beautiful room and the delicious food. Service was attentive and friendly.
