The whole room, yours.
Petiscos hosts private events the way it hosts dinner: family-style, unhurried, and done properly. The dining room, the kitchen, and the bar can all be yours for an evening, or for several days straight.
From boardroom to birthday.
If it deserves a good table, it fits here. The room adapts: seated dinners, standing receptions with passed petiscos, or a mix of both across the evening.
Client dinners, team offsites, and conference-week hosting, minutes from the convention center.
The room, the kitchen, and the bar reserved for your company across several days. We have done it, and it runs like clockwork.
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and the family milestones that deserve a Portuguese table.
End-of-year dinners with the cocktails flowing and nobody worrying about the kitchen.
Tech's teams already eat here.
When the big conferences land in San Jose, Petiscos becomes a second dining room for the companies in town. We have hosted teams from NVIDIA and Supermicro, including a joint event that ran across several days, and welcomed technology companies from around the Bay throughout conference season.
The feedback that keeps coming back: the food lands, the room feels like a dinner and not a function, and the details are handled before anyone asks.
A private event here is just Petiscos at full attention: the same kitchen, the same bar, pointed entirely at your guests.
The kitchen, the bar, the room.
Family-style spreads, passed petiscos, or a seated dinner built from the menu, shaped with you around your guests, your budget, and any dietary needs. The same recipes recognized by the MICHELIN Guide four years running.
Open bar packages built around the twelve specialty cocktails, the Portuguese cellar, and everything in between, or a tighter beer-and-wine pour if that suits the evening better. Your call, priced clearly in the quote.
Long tables for one conversation or a standing floor for many, music at the level you want, and the azulejo room dressed for the occasion. For multi-day events, we reset overnight and are ready every morning.
Three steps to your evening.
Email the date or dates, a rough guest count, and the kind of event. A sentence or two is plenty to start.
A menu and bar plan shaped to the event, with a clear quote for the whole evening. We refine it together until it fits.
Lock the date and the rest is ours: setup, service, kitchen, bar. You host, we handle everything else.
Weeknights, weekends, full buyouts and partial evenings are all on the table, and conference-season dates go early, so the sooner you write, the better the pick.
Tell us about your event.
One email starts it: the date, the headcount, and what you are celebrating or hosting. A full proposal and quote come back to you.

More than dinner.
Petiscos is opening its room to evenings built around making something, not just ordering something. The first one is on the calendar.
Event nights at Petiscos
The dining room is becoming a place to make things, not just order them: a series of small, hosted evenings with art on the table, small plates within reach and Portuguese wine in your glass. Paint and wine evenings lead the way, an evening of baking and decorating your own cake with the family’s bakers follows, and more nights are on the way. Seats are very limited, every time, and each new night is announced first on @petiscosadega.
