Game Night In
for groups of 12 - 96 guests
What is Game Night In?
'Game Night In' is the private, 90-minute virtual game night experience that allows you to join in on the fun from from wherever you are, brought to you by Chicago-based company Game Night Out!
What games will we play?
You can think of 'Game Night In' as one big party-game, in itself. It feels like having a game night at your place, but it's our turn to host. Our Hosts will facilitate the entire experience, and will be there to guide your group through everything, and help introduce each game, explain the rules, keep the competition flowing, keep the experience on track, and generally help keep your group having fun! The experience consists of a series of challenges, that you and your group will compete in, in teams. Some games are in the form of a guessing-game or have a trivia or scavenger hunt element to them, while others may be more skill or puzzle-based. All in all, there is something for everyone in there. But as is part of the fun at both Game Night Out & Game Night In, to keep it exciting for everyone we like to keep the exact game details a surprise and test your chops on game day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a food & beverage minimum?
A food and beverage minimum is the monetary amount that must be achieved within the space reserved, the night of the event. If the minimum is not met, the remainder will be placed on the final bill as a room fee. Food and beverage minimums can not be reached by gift certificates, carryout food, bottles of wine, and only pertain to food and beverage consumed during the time of the event.
Is a deposit required and is it refundable if I need to cancel?
A 25% deposit is due at the time of reservation. An additional 25% reservation fee is required sixty (60) days prior to the event date. The reamining estimated charges shall be due any payable no later than three (3) business days prior to the event date. Licensee may cancel the contract at any time prior to the event date by paying to Licensor the following scale termination fee: More than one (1) year prior to Event Date - $100; Less than one (1) year but more than nine (9) months prior to the event date - 25% of the Food & Beverage Minimum; Less than nine (9) months but more than six (6) months prior to the event date - 50% of the Food & Beverage Minimum; Less than six (6) months but more than three (3) months prior to the event date - 75% of the Food & Beverage Minimum; Less than three (3) months but more than five (5) business days prior to the event date - 100% of the Food & Beverage Minimum; Less than five (5) business days prior to the Event Date - All estimated charges based on final guest count. The foregoing cancellation fees are not penalties but are in consideration of the resources spent by Licensor in booking the Osteria via Stato for Licensee and for the lost opportunity in not booking with another party in the interium.
Am I required to guarantee a certain number of guests?
All contracted groups are required to provide a guaranteed number of attendance three (3) days prior to the event date. In the event of guest cancellation after the guarantee has been submitted, the host will be charged for the guaranteed number.
When do I select the menu?
Due to seasonality, we schedule tastings 4-6 weeks prior to the event date. Please keep in mind that we are extremely accommodating and almost any item on the menu can be altered or substituted. In addition, we are sensitive to any dietary needs and are able to accommodate most with adequate notice.
Do I select a beverage package?
Each of our wedding packages includes a full bar, open for four hours and options to add beverages for dinner service. Last call is at 11:45PM, unless otherwise determined. Bars are also available on a complete consumption basis, in lieu of a package.
Do I need to leave a tip?
Gratuity is at your discretion, with standard being 18-22%. Illinois state sales tax, current rate 11.75%, & a 4% planner fee will be added to the final bill. Planning services include: A tasting for four guests, 4-6 weeks prior to the event. A guided ceremony rehearsal 1-2 days prior to the event.

Executive Chef David DiGregorio and LEYE founder Rich Melman traveled through every region of Italy sampling Italy's best. It was through these travels that they ate at the greatest rustic Italian restaurants that ultimately provided the inspiration for today's Osteria Via Stato menu. Osteria Via Stato captures the best of Italy with seasonal dishes, an all-Italian wine list and a la dolce vita spirit of hospitality.
With new specialties to mark each season, enjoy Osteria's extensive al la carte menu and its guest-favored, three-course "Italian Dinner Party"
