Margie’s Italian Gardens is now offering private group lunches by reservation, providing a daytime dining option for groups seeking a quieter, more personal lunch experience. While the restaurant is not open for regular lunch service, private lunches allow groups to reserve the dining room as their own and enjoy lunch together during weekday hours.

Private lunches are available Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and can accommodate groups ranging from approximately 12 to 80 guests. These lunches are well suited for business meetings, team lunches, client meals, family lunches, birthday celebrations, baby and wedding showers, and similar daytime occasions that benefit from a reserved space and attentive service. Each group works directly with Margie’s staff to select a custom menu suited to their lunch and occasion.

“We designed this offering for people who want a place to sit down, enjoy good food, and spend quality time with the people they came with,” said Gigi Howell, Operating Partner of Westland Hospitality. “These lunches are not just about the food. They are about providing a comfortable space and an experience that feels like Margie’s. Familiar, warm, and welcoming.”

Margie’s Italian Gardens was originally founded in 1953 by Italian immigrants Tina Lozzi and her daughter, Margie. In April 2025, Howell and her partners at Westland Hospitality relaunched the restaurant, restoring the original Margie’s Italian Gardens concept while refreshing the dining room and menu to honor its roots. The relaunch reaffirmed a commitment to classic Italian dishes, thoughtful hospitality, and creating a place where guests feel at home.

By offering lunch exclusively by reservation for private groups, Margie’s is able to focus on service, pacing, and a dining environment tailored to each group. Guests can expect a relaxed lunch, familiar Italian favorites, and a setting designed for conversation.

Groups interested in scheduling a private lunch are encouraged to contact the restaurant directly on their website at https://www.margiesitaliangardens.com or call 817.244.4301 to discuss availability and details.
