From the red carpet to the table in six minutes.
While the festival centre buzzes around the corner, STORIA is your stage for the evening after: premiere dinners, distributor receptions, cast & crew evenings and industry networking. Our own kitchen, a covered terrace, everything from a single hand — right in the heart of Maxvorstadt.
Ristorante STORIA is a family-run Italian restaurant at Karlstraße 47a, Munich Maxvorstadt — six minutes' walk from the Amerikahaus festival centre, and thus an event venue for premiere dinners, distributor receptions, cast & crew dinners and industry networking during Filmfest München 2026 (26 June – 5 July 2026). Kitchen, service and event planning come from a single hand; up to 200 guests seated and 300 for a standing reception find their place here.
Ten festival days, one place where the industry meets.
Premieres, pitches, press days, receptions — and the appetite that follows. Production, distribution, sales, casting, funders and editorial teams find at STORIA the discreet, representative setting that adapts to your festival week at short notice.
Premiere Dinner
The seated dinner straight after the screening. A multi-course menu, your own area, service that carries the whole evening — without anyone watching the clock.
Distributor & Sales Reception
A standing reception with flying buffet and aperitivo bar. Room for conversations, deals and reuniting with half the industry.
Cast & Crew Dinner
The team celebrates its film. One long table, Italian warmth, a late kitchen and an evening that tastes of the festival.
Press Lunch & Junket
A focused midday format between two appointments. Quick, calm, with a separate area for interviews and soundbites.
Industry Networking
Funders, editors, alliances, emerging talent — a reception people are glad to attend, precisely because it isn't held in a conference hall.
Exclusive Hire
The whole house for one evening. Indoors, terrace, bar — your logo, your running order, your guests. Discreet and tailored entirely to you.
In the thick of it — not on the sidelines.
STORIA sits at Karlstraße 47a, in the Kunstareal arts district of Maxvorstadt. The festival centre, the Pinakotheken and Königsplatz are all minutes away. International guests step off at the Hauptbahnhof and are at your table five minutes later.

The summer evening outdoors — sheltered from the weather. Perfect for aperitivo receptions and relaxed networking.
