Forty, flirty, and thriving.

Osteria Bruno · Chicago, Illinois
The story so far
Alex spent his thirties collecting stamps in his passport and friends in every time zone. For forty, he wants them all in one room.
One night, one long dinner table, zero speeches about getting old (enforced). Come hungry — the stories are the main course.
