Important Info for Your Visit to Funistrada

Things to Know Before You Arrive

Dining Time

We consider 1 hour and 45 minutes to be a comfortable duration for a relaxed dinner for parties of six or fewer. Therefore, we structure our evening accordingly. If you have a longer catch-up in mind or need more time, please let us know when booking your reservation so we can accommodate your request.

Large Parties

We regret to inform you that we do not serve large parties. Our space is limited, and our kitchen is smaller, allowing us to accommodate groups of up to 14 people. We appreciate your understanding.

Weddings/Rehearsals

We do not host weddings or rehearsal dinners at our restaurant. Due to the limited size of our kitchen and staff, we are unable to accommodate large events. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider us for other dining experiences.

Children's Menu

Please note that we do not offer a children’s menu, as our restaurant primarily caters to adults. We focus on creating a dining experience designed for an adult audience. Thank you for your understanding.

Carry-Out and Catering Orders

We do not offer carryout or catering services. With only an 8-burner stove, we focus entirely on preparing meals for our seated guests. Thank you for understanding our constraints.

Dietary Restrictions

For gluten-free options, we do not offer gluten-free pasta, but many of our entrees can be prepared without gluten. If you’re vegetarian, we have some options, though they are limited. For vegan diets, the choices are very few—perhaps a marinara pasta or a large salad. Please check with your server for details.

We prioritize food safety, so if you have any allergies, please inform your server so they can notify the kitchen. For special dietary requests, we can sometimes offer substitutions, though this may incur an additional fee. Please understand that the kitchen reserves the right to decline certain requests.

Bring Your Own Cake

You are welcome to bring your own cake to the restaurant, but please note that there will be a service fee. We value special occasions and have a pastry chef who creates fantastic desserts—perfect for any number of candles. If you’d still like to bring your own cake, we kindly ask you to call ahead to receive permission and get an estimate for the service fee. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to helping you celebrate your special occasion.

No Bring Your Own Bottle

We regret to inform you that we do not allow guests to bring their own wine bottles or other beverages. Our wine list is the result of 20 years of tasting and exploring the wines of Italy, offering a well-rounded selection in terms of both price and variety. Whether you’re looking for an affordable wine to enjoy with dinner or a premium bottle for a special celebration, we’re confident you’ll find something to suit your taste. Plus, remember that you can take your unfinished bottle with you! Thank you for understanding.
