Venues & Private Dining

Itani Restaurant Group is led by Chef Kyle Itani, a Bay Area restaurateur with over 20 years of experience and the founder of multiple successful restaurant concepts, with five currently in operation. Our approach to special events is simple: we deliver restaurant-quality food at scale, with a sharp focus on execution, timing, and guest experience.

We produce small events from 15–50 people in and out of our restaurants. For larger events, we have Atlas Union Square offering iconic views of San Francisco. We have produced events ranging from 80 to 500 guests across Northern California, with experience at other venues such as Fort Mason Center, Fairmont Hotel, Bespoke at Westfield San Francisco, the Kabuki Hotel, and Convene. Our team has also executed large-scale corporate events at Westfield Valley Fair, serving up to 1,200 guests per day.

Unlike traditional catering companies, our team is built from the core staff of our restaurants, not temporary labor. This ensures consistency in both food quality and service. Every event is approached with the same standards and discipline as a busy restaurant service.

We have an in-house team at each venue who manage logistics, including service flow, rentals (if needed), and coordinationg with additional partners (A/V if needed).

We intentionally limit the number of events we take on each month so our team can stay focused and hands on. The result is a more refined, thoughtful experience that stands apart from high-volume catering operations. Chef Kyle personally manages and runs each event — the goal being to create an event that feels less like catering and more like a well-run restaurant service.
