Speisemeisterei La Trattoria hosts company dinners, summer parties, birthdays and private celebrations for up to 200 guests indoors and another 200 on its garden terrace. The Italian restaurant occupies a rustic period building at Westerholzstraße 1 in Pasing-Obermenzing, in the west of Munich, a short distance from the Würm river and the Nymphenburg canal. Both spaces can be divided, parties run until midnight and parking is free.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant is built for large tables rather than conference work: its strength is the company dinner, the team celebration and the summer party. The garden terrace is where the house holds most of its summer events, with dressed tables under the trees and no street noise. Because the indoor restaurant has the same capacity as the terrace, an outdoor event can move inside if the weather turns, a combination the group says none of its other venues offers. Technical equipment is available on request.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant is the largest indoor room of the group, with space for up to 200 guests. It has a wood-paneled dining room with a dark coffered ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the garden. The room can be divided, but it has no separate entrance, so access for a private event is agreed in advance. It is fitted with full restaurant furniture.
The garden terrace also takes up to 200 guests. It has its own entrance, can be divided, and has full restaurant furniture. An awning protects the tables from midday heat and rain showers.
Catering
All food comes from the restaurant's own kitchen, led by head chef Valentin Baltes. The kitchen cooks from every region of Italy: gnocchi and strudel from the Alpine north, cured meats further south, fish and tomatoes from the Mediterranean coast. Dishes are homemade, and the menu for an event is set with the hosts. The wine list covers the main wine regions of Italy, and the team advises on pairings.
History and setting
The house is an old building with rustic character, and the restaurant describes its look as that of a true trattoria. The garden behind it is the setting for most summer events, with light filtering through the trees. The restaurant is part of a group that runs several other Italian restaurants with event rooms and terraces around Munich and in Planegg, which can help when a date or size does not fit here.
Getting there
The restaurant is at Westerholzstraße 1, 81245 Munich, in Pasing-Obermenzing, near the Würm and the Nymphenburg canal. Parking for guests is free. The restaurant is open daily from noon to 11 p.m., with hot food until 10 p.m.; private events can run until midnight.
