Company Christmas Dinner in Warsaw: Italian-Style at Bottegas

A company Christmas dinner at a long shared table with pizza and antipasti at Bottegas, ul. Oboźna 9, Warsaw

You can hold your company Christmas dinner in Warsaw at Bottegas Śródmieście, ul. Oboźna 9: the room seats up to 80 guests and has a projector and a microphone. We prepare a tailored offer quickly, based on the date, number of guests, type of event and dietary needs. December dates are worth booking early.

Why an Italian Christmas dinner

A Polish wigilia is, above all, a shared table. An Italian dinner works the same way: the food sits in the middle, plates go round, someone passes a slice of pizza across. Nobody sits in silence over their own plate – the conversation starts by itself.

The foundation is Neapolitan pizza. The dough is 80% hydration and matures for 48 hours, the oven runs at 485°C, and a pizza is ready in a little over a minute. It goes from the oven straight to the table and never waits – for a large group it comes out in rounds, always hot.

Around it: antipasti to start, pasta from our kitchen – the ragù cooks for 4 hours every day – and desserts made in house, tiramisù first among them. It is the kind of food that keeps people at the table longer than they planned.

To start, every guest gets a piece of warm, tall focaccia with a drop of olive oil. That is how every dinner at Bottegas begins, company ones included.

The room at Oboźna: up to 80 guests in central Warsaw

Bottegas Śródmieście is at ul. Oboźna 9, between Nowy Świat and the University of Warsaw, right next to Krakowskie Przedmieście. It is easy to reach from any office in the centre, and the entrance is step-free.

The room takes up to 80 guests. A smaller group sits together in a reserved area of the restaurant; for a larger party you can book the whole room for yourselves.

There is a projector and a microphone. The CEO's speech, a year-in-review presentation, a few slides of the team's best moments, a small awards moment – you can do all of it before dinner or between courses, without hiring extra equipment.

Live Italian music or a quiz for the team

For the evening we can bring in the artists of Bottegas Canta – every Thursday they play live Italian music at our tables. Francesco is from Puglia, Manfredi Messina from Sicily. At a company dinner they do the same: live music at the tables, during dinner.

If you prefer a different kind of energy, we can run a quiz for the team, in Polish or in English. It works well for international companies: teams at each table, a few rounds of questions, and more pizzas from the oven between rounds. A DJ is also possible.

Music, quiz and presentation fit easily into one running order. We agree the sequence with the organiser, so the speeches don't land just as the pizza arrives.

A tailored offer

We don't work from one fixed package. We prepare an offer quickly, based on what you need: the date, the number of guests, the type of event and your guests' dietary needs. Write to info@bottegas.pl or use the form on the events page.

We adapt each menu to the group. Every team has someone who doesn't eat meat, someone who is plant-based, someone who avoids gluten – that is not a problem. We have vegetarian pizzas, a fully vegan Vegan Capricciosa, gluten-free dough for any pizza and gluten-free penne for the pasta.

You will find the full menu we build from on the restaurant page. If you have a specific wish – more antipasti, a different dessert, a longer pause between courses – just tell us.

How booking works

Fill in the form on our events and company parties page or write to info@bottegas.pl. Give us three things: the date, the number of guests and the type of event.

We reply with a menu proposal and a plan for the evening, with a quote. Then we finalise the details – table layout, music or quiz, the time of the presentation – and book the date.

On the day, we take care of everything. We have been organising events for more than 6 years, and we know the organiser wants to sit down and eat with the team too.

Practical tips for the organiser

Book early. If you need a specific evening, lock it in now and we will sort out the details later.

Give us the headcount in advance and collect dietary requirements. That way the kitchen prepares exactly what is needed, and the colleague who avoids gluten doesn't wait for their dish.

Put the formal part first. A short speech and presentation before dinner work better than after dessert – after that, there is only food, music and conversation left.

Choose the format. Long shared tables are good for conversation; for a quiz, smaller tables, one per team, work better. Tell us what you have in mind and we will suggest a layout.

A smaller team? Dinner at Saska Kępa

For smaller groups, Bottegas Saska Kępa at ul. Francuska 24 also works well. Same kitchen, same prices, and the oven is visible from the door. At Francuska we host group dinners – no live music or quizzes, simply a good dinner at a shared table.

You send the request the same way: the form or info@bottegas.pl, with the date, the number of guests and which restaurant you prefer.
