"On the Wharf, Nicholas Stefanelli’s classic Italian trattoria offers rooftop views overlooking the Potomac River. The terrace is modeled after a restaurant and cafe in Rome, and it can hold 100 to 150 standing guests for a cocktail reception. Meanwhile, a full restaurant buyout is possible for an extra-large wedding (combined, the three stories can host 500 people). Large-scale buyouts range from $20,000 to $25,000. Stefanelli’s downtown Greek showpiece Philotimo and NoMa’s Michelin-rated Masseria also offer full buyouts for weddings." - Vinciane Ngomsi
