Planning a Holiday Party That Guests Actually Remember
Every December, Las Vegas fills with office parties, client dinners, and year-end celebrations. Most of them blur together. A banquet hall, a buffet line, a rented sound system. What sets a memorable holiday party apart usually comes down to one thing: the food.
Ferraro’s Ristorante has spent decades hosting private events for the Las Vegas business community, offering an alternative to standard banquet catering built around authentic Southern Italian cuisine and a wine cellar with international recognition. For groups planning their 2026 holiday gathering, that means a party guests will still be talking about in January.
Why Fine Dining Changes the Tone of a Corporate Event
Recent workplace data shows just how much weight the holiday party carries. According to workplace holiday research compiled for 2026, the average employee food and beverage spend per person climbed 31 percent year over year, and more than half of companies increased their party budgets heading into the season. Employees consistently name the food as the part of the event they look forward to most.
Many companies have identified the need for more authentic and hospitable spaces to host their company get togethers. That shift toward quality over quantity is showing up across the restaurant industry too. Group dining and private room bookings have surged industry-wide in 2026, as companies move away from generic conference center catering toward restaurants that can deliver a genuine dining experience.
A seated and plated meal coming together, taking time to be in one anothers company are what these events are all about. What a nice expereince to be able to take your time with coworkers, share a beautiful meal, and enjoy the holiday season together. This kind of experience makes everyone feel that much more valued.
Family-Style Feasts and Plated Dining Experiences
Ferraro’s structures its holiday event menus around three tiers, so planners can match the format to the tone of their event.
Family-style appetizer courses open each tier, featuring dishes like Bufala Caprese, house-made Polpette con Polenta, and Carpaccio di Manzo, served for the table to share. From there, the format shifts based on the package.
The three different packages are designed to be able to meet you and your groups needs. The entry-tier menu offers a guest-selected second course from options such as Vitello Picatta, Rigatoni Amatriciana, and Pollo Limone, paired with one house dessert. The mid-tier menu expands the appetizer selection, adds a choice of salad, and introduces secondi options like Branzino and Filetto di Manzo alongside two family-style side dishes. The top-tier menu moves to plated appetizers, includes the restaurant’s signature Osso Buco, and closes with Rosalba’s Italian cookies served family style before a guest-selected dessert.
Every course is built from scratch-made pasta, fresh seafood, and prime meats prepared in-house, the same standard Ferraro’s has held to a la carte since 1985.
Sommelier-Curated Wine Pairings from an Award-Winning Cellar
No Italian holiday dinner is complete without the wine, and this is where Ferraro’s sets itself apart from typical event venues. The restaurant’s cellar has earned Gambero Rosso’s Tre Forchette distinction in 2024 and Tre Bottiglie in 2023, and Ferraro’s has been named a Top Italian Restaurant by the publication for three consecutive years, 2023 through 2025.
For special holiday events, the team can curate a wine pairing to accompany each course. This works especially well with client-facing events, as the large wine selection and perfect pairings elevate the event and make it a huge talking point of all who attend.
Flexible Private Dining Spaces for Every Group Size
Group size often decides where a holiday party ends up, and Ferraro’s has room configurations built for that range.
The Radda room seats up to 10 guests and works well for small leadership dinners. Greve accommodates up to 16 and includes audio and visual capabilities. Castellini, a semi-private room with sliding doors, holds up to 28 and suits department parties or corporate lunches. Firenze opens to a private patio entrance and seats up to 65, with full audio and visual setup for a program or presentation. For the largest celebrations, the outdoor patio seats up to 100 and includes a fire pit and heaters, and Ferraro’s offers full restaurant buyouts for groups approaching 300 guests.
Each space comes with dedicated event staff, and the team works directly with planners to adjust menus, timing, and setup around the specific needs of a corporate or private celebration.
