90–130 guests
The Murano Room
Chandeliers, clean lines and Murano glass sculpture, for galas and black-tie dinners.
Vetro is Italian for “glass.”
An Italian restaurant, a lounge and a catering hall in one building on Cross Bay Boulevard, with the water behind us
You don’t need an occasion to come. Most nights people are just here for dinner, or for a drink in the Blue Lounge when there’s live music on. The parties happen in the rooms around it.
Seven hundred years of glass
Venice moved its glass furnaces out to Murano in 1291 because the city kept catching fire. The island has been making glass ever since.
The colored glass in our dining room nods to it, and so does the name.
Dinner, drinks,
or the whole room
Five ways to experience Vetro, from dinner on the bay to a room of your own.
Menus
Pasta, seafood, and Pat LaFrieda steaks and chops. Dinner Tuesday through Sunday, prix-fixe brunch on Sundays, and a lounge menu with the raw bar.
Private Events
Weddings, social and corporate events, with the same planning support and preferred vendor network in every room.
The Venue
Three private rooms for sixty to a hundred and fifty guests, plus the Blue Lounge and the Waterfront Veranda.
Catering
Half and full trays for pickup or delivery, ordered through Vetro’s catering store. For a hosted celebration, explore our private rooms.
Vetro On The Go
Pickup and delivery from the same kitchen, plus smaller catering orders that travel.
Explore the venue
Five spaces, one address on the bay. Boats can tie up at the marina.
85–150 guests
The Rooftop Lounge
The roof actually retracts, so on a good night the room is open to the sky. The stage, the dance floor and the sound system are already installed, which means your DJ can just plug in.
60–90 guests
The Wine Cellar
Downstairs under the brick arches, with the wine racked along the walls. People book it for rehearsal dinners and for receptions that don’t need a ballroom.
Capacity on request
The Waterfront Veranda
Outside on the water, under the umbrellas. Jamaica Bay is right over the rail, and boats can tie up at the marina.
