The Return of the Olive Oil Celebration April 16

Many of our regular patrons have become big fans of Mediterrano’s olive oil. So much so that we could never keep enough of our take home bottles in stock. The decision was made to import it ourselves. Setting this up is quite a process, but now the premium product is finally coming. In honor of this event, we invite you to join us for a dinner focused on the oil itself. John Roumanis will give a talk on this substance that is very near and dear to his heart. Chef Robert Underwood’s creations will delight, and maybe even surprise you.

Make your reservations now. You won’t want to miss this one!

La Piazza Swings Into the New Year as Ann Arbor’s Top Choice for Business and Social Events

La Piazza, which opened its doors in October of 2003, was the inspiration of local restaurateur and entrepreneur John Roumanis, who noted the cookie-cutter quality of Ann Arbor’s standard meeting spaces and decided that the community needed a banqueting center that served stylish cuisine in a rich setting by a staff knowledgeable about the needs of an upscale clientele.

With its cleverly designed space, La Piazza accommodates all types of private events, from family gatherings to large corporate conferences. It’s fully equipped with all the latest technology, and is wired for video conferencing, PowerPoint presentations and internet access. La Piazza is Ann Arbor’s leading choice for both corporate and social events.

It’s a great deal, too: once the minimum headcount is met, the room is free of charge. And gorgeous rooms they are, invoking the feel of northern Italy with vaulted ceilings, a warm marble fireplace, Murano chandeliers and wall frescoes. Columns, partitions and specially designed lighting allow the space to be as intimate or spacious as the event calls for. And the food is spectacular: no warming trays, everything fresh, prime, healthfully Mediterranean, and perfectly made to order in a kitchen specifically designed for catered events.

Notes Roumanis, “Most private conference and banqueting rooms are dull and lifeless, which it seems to me would produce dull and lifeless proceedings. My vision for La Piazza was to create a beautiful atmosphere where it would be possible to hold truly extraordinary events.” La Piazza is adjacent to Roumanis’ flagship restaurant, Mediterrano in the Concord shopping plaza on South State Street in Ann Arbor.
