Food and service were outstanding. A great find for first timers...
Made reservations, Valentine's Day is a busy night. We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation with no apology. We were then rushed through the dinner, immediate order, courses coming out moments after each other. Why would I still give a good review? The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was nice. Its a welcoming place without being too stuffy or formal. Apparently there were specials for the night - we didn't know because we were never offered but I heard the table next to us be offered some great sounding daily e... read more
Good service with pretty average food (even with the expensive entree). Salad dressing was probably to blame for the salad demeanor because the components were excellent. The $28 pasta seafood entree was sort of bland and the pasta was not al dente. Overall, I've had better Italian food at less upscale restaurants. There were no 'ahhh' moments.
The experience at Osteria was an overall excellent time. I entertained clients and enjoyed the food. 1st time here so I didnt know what tho expect. Service was terrific and the price for 5 people with drinks, appetizers, meal and desert was $75/person including 18% tip. Make sure to dine here!
The food and service were excellent. Loved the wine. We ordered two different ravioli dishes. Both were tasty. Great ambience. I'd go again!
Expensive and not the quality expected for the price
We enjoyed dinner on the outside patio area, which was very nice, warm, and had a glass barrier seperating our experience from all the activity along the sidewalk. The area is quite lively, and also quite noisy. Food was decent, but not the wow factor I was looking for. All in all, it was enjoyable.
Restaurant week calls to return to taste a wider range of the menu. The lobster ravioli were mouthwatering, as was the salmon. The setting was quieter inside and more raucous out on the sidewalk. Choose your venue. Expensive, but delicious.
Our Caesar salad "how a Caesar should be made" consisted of brown lettuce. Other than that our meal was great and the service was wonderful, We'd go again....but I wouldn't order the Caesar salad. This was an unfortunate first impression to our first dining experience here, but it was all made up for in the end.
