The restaurant hosts three- to five-course, family-style meals in that space, with $75 per person minimums for Friday and Saturday events, and $60 per person minimums for Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday events. Menus range from “red-sauce”-style meals of penne alla vodka and mussels fra diavolo to choose-your-own-adventure meals with options like shrimp scampi and seasonal risotto. Learn more about your options here.

Amalfi's Italian Restaurant

The team at Ringside will also help with things like floral arrangements, helpful for wedding dinners.

This Naito Parkway restaurant’s sibling private event space is so private, it’s a block away, at 50 SW Pine Street. The Lobby by Lechon can seat 24 or host 40 for a standing reception-style event, with a variety of menu options — snacks of shrimp ceviche and brisket empanadas served mid-cocktail party, family-style tapas of flank steak with piquillo pepper romesco or grilled octopus with chorizo, or even a full tasting menu, complete with smoked bone marrow and pan-seared scallops.
