Ostuni is an Italian restaurant and event venue in Putney, offering a range of flexible spaces for private and corporate occasions. Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, anniversary party, baby shower, summer gathering, drinks reception or business event, the venue can accommodate everything from intimate dining experiences to exclusive hire of the entire restaurant.
One of Ostuni’s standout features is its garden courtyard, a secluded outdoor space surrounded by brick walls, mature trees and climbing greenery. Wooden tables and chairs, wall-mounted planters and soft lighting create the feel of a hidden garden retreat, making it particularly well suited to summer parties, drinks receptions and al fresco celebrations. Guests can hire the courtyard independently or as part of a larger event.
Inside, Ostuni offers elegant dining spaces for both semi-private and exclusive events. Smaller groups can reserve a large table for a more intimate gathering, while larger parties can take over the entire venue. A dedicated events manager works closely with organisers throughout the planning process, helping to create a bespoke experience tailored to each occasion. Services can include curated wine selections, personalised menus designed in collaboration with the head chef, custom table settings, fine linens, place cards, floral arrangements and attentive event staff.
Food is centred around authentic Italian cuisine, with a variety of packages available to suit different budgets. Hosts can choose from canapes and drinks receptions, sharing platters or more traditional seated meals.
Ostuni menu highlights include bruschetta al pomodoro, slow-roasted Italian pork belly with honey and chilli glaze, calamari and sharing-style tasting selections. Fresh pasta dishes include pappardelle ragu, scialatielli di mare, seasonal risottos and handmade ravioli, while mains range from prime ribeye of beef and herb-marinated baby chicken to sea bass and salt cod. Desserts include tiramisu, torta di ricotta e pere and Italian gelato, accompanied by a carefully selected wine list.
