Toast the couple in a fully private setting with a custom menu, dedicated bar service, and a room that feels as special as the day ahead. Our private event space in Arlington Heights gives your wedding party the intimate, exclusive evening they deserve — the night before the biggest day of their lives.
The rehearsal dinner is where the wedding weekend really begins — the first gathering of two families, the first real exhale before the ceremony. At Toscana Restaurant & Lounge, we've been hosting these evenings for over 17 years, and we understand what they need to feel: warm, intimate, and completely taken care of.
Our private dining room closes off entirely from the main floor — no background noise, no interruptions, no strangers at neighboring tables. You get a space that feels like it was built for exactly this night. Up to 60 guests, a dedicated server team, a full private bar, and a menu from Chef Frank's kitchen that gives your families something to talk about all the way through the ceremony.
Explore Chef Frank's Italian menu to see what's been making these dinners memorable for over a decade — from handmade pasta to wood-fired proteins, every dish is made to the table, never in advance.
You've got enough to coordinate before the wedding. We handle the dinner so you can be present for the people who matter.
The room closes completely from the rest of the restaurant — no shared space, no walk-through traffic. Your wedding party has the entire space for the evening.
Your own server team — experienced with large-party pacing, toasts, and course timing — so the flow of the evening never feels rushed or stalled.
A dedicated bar for your group — stocked with wines, beer, and full spirits depending on your bar package. Perfect for toasts throughout the evening.
Work with our team to build a menu around the couple's favorites — dietary accommodations, course structure, and Italian specialties all considered before the evening begins.
Our team coordinates with you in advance on timing — when courses arrive, when to pause for speeches, and how to keep the evening moving without feeling rushed.
Chef Frank's house Italian bread, imported parmesan, and butter — served as guests arrive and replenished throughout, giving the evening a warm, unhurried start.
Two formats best suited for rehearsal dinners — intimate plated service or a warm, shared family-style feast. All packages include Italian bread, parmesan & butter. 20% service charge and 11.25% sales tax additional.
Three steps — and then the night before the wedding is completely taken care of.

"Our rehearsal dinner couldn't have been more perfect. Chef Frank's pasta is something else. The private space felt elegant and intimate — exactly what we wanted the night before our wedding."
"We were nervous about fitting two families into one dinner the night before everything, but Toscana made it seamless. The room felt like ours all night. The food and service were outstanding."
"The staff coordinated around all our toasts perfectly — nothing was rushed, nothing was late. It set the absolute best tone for our wedding day. Our families still talk about that dinner."
Friday and Saturday evenings book up well in advance — especially during wedding season. We recommend reaching out as early as possible to secure your preferred date and give us time to customize the menu around the couple.
