My first restaurant for 2025 and I couldn't be more pleased! Wanted to take a friend for lunch and Italian is her fave, so I was hoping for good, quality authentic food and glad I chose Osteria!It's a quaint restaurant from the outside, I almost passed it, but it is a really cute spot with plenty of seating/space. I like the cute little decors inside, feels very homey. The service was good. Nothing over the top but no complaints.Drinks: my friend had an old fashioned and I had the "Osteria on fire". Our drinks were good, we both ordered a second round.Food: everything was so fresh and delicious! I can't wait to go back! I started with the grilled calamari which is served over risotto. It was SO good! All the flavors just combined perfectly! This dish could probably fill you like an entree. My friend had the caprese which was really good as well. All ingredients were fresh. For entrees I had the "risotto ai frutti di mare" which is a seafood risotto. It was very good and flavorful. My friend had the "fettuccine Osteria" with a side of grilled chicken. Everything was really good! We especially enjoyed the show of having the fettuccine made table side in the cheese bowl. My friend loved everything about Osteria! We will definitely be back and would certainly recommend.

Impressive Italian outpost here in Clinton Hill--have been here twice recently, for a large family dinner and more recently for a day-off lunch, and both were great experiences. At dinner I enjoyed. Lamb shank, which was well-cooked and quite impressive. The weekly lunch special is an impressive deal, with aTwo courses for $25 offering (Mon-Fri only). I think you can choose appetizer or dessert with entree--we both did the app. I had a nice spinach salad and a tasty, traditional gnocchi in tomato sauce. They also make a mean Negroni, which seems fitting as they advertise it all over, and it is a pretty Italian quaff. The space is large, with ample outdoor seating both sidewalk-side on Myrtle as well as a charming back garden. The interior is lovely too--rare is the city spot where you feel space is available and not at a premium--this place is comfortable, like stepping out of the city and into an Italian trattoria.Overall this just feels like a classic yet modern Italian restaurant. Nor extraordinary, but consistently impressive. Perhaps easy to overlook or take for granted chasing the trendy new spot, but the kind of place any neighborhood should be happy to have--and I'm glad it's in ours.

I have never had a bad time at Osteria. It has become a staple for my fiancé and I to visit here every once in a while. Sometimes it is just the two of us, and other times we will bring friends - in any situation, Osteria is a good choice.It is an incredibly cozy and comforting spot to visit in the colder months. I have loved every cocktail and wine choice I've gotten from all my times visiting here - you can't really go wrong.The Fettucine Osteria is one of THE best pastas I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. They make it beside your table so like, dinner and a show vibes. I always give a little clap after. The performance is always enchanting. They shave truffles on it and the flavor is actually just unbelievable. It is 10/10.My fiancé says the burger is also incredible here. He says to bear with him - he understands this is an Italian spot, but he really can't go wrong with the burger. It's a tried and true and consistently impressive option for him. He loves that the bacon comes on the burger automatically instead of having it as an upcharge, a rarity these days.Last time we went, we shared a caprese for the table. It was great to split between the 4 of us, and the ingredients were exceptionally fresh. If you're looking for a cute and cozy date night or are meeting some friends out on a colder winter month, def check out Osteria.

Everything tasted so good! You have to come here. All of the dishes tasted fresh and the flavors were so dynamic. The oxtail pasta, spicy crab ravioli, and seafood risotto were absolutely delicious. The meatball was really good too. Even the bread for the table was great. Everything I ate I wanted more. The drinks were really good too. Well balanced and made with real juices. The staff was so nice and they made my birthday really special.I will be back!

3.75* stars. This would be a review of their new LIC location (no yelp page yet). I've been meaning to check out this place now that Piatto [thankfully] vacated the place and am glad to say we've definitely traded up! Very fair pricing, great food... and slowish service that hopefully is still getting worked on. I came in around 4:30pm on a Saturday when my folks were visiting for my birthday. Given the time [early bird special], there weren't many other tables taken, but service was pretty 'relaxed' throughout our dinner. Also notable, it was...a bit drafty, given that it was 25ish degrees out, but was still rather chilly inside. That said, Osteria Brooklyn's food is spot on. We got:Apps:Grilled Calamari - herbed grilled calamari with saffron risotto: I've never had this preparation of calamari, but god damn was this tasty. Loved the seasoning on the calamari and the risotto was super flavorful.Pulpo al Carbone - garbanzo beans, olives, and jalapenos - the chickpeas and spread on this dish was delightful, along with the perfectly cooked octopus. delish.Mains:Both of my folks got the Branzino al Forno with potatoes - I got to try some of the fish, and it was cooked to perfection!I opted for the famed Pappardelle & Ossobucco with lamb shank and goat cheese pastata. Good lord, this is one decadently delicious dish. Portion size was very generous and the lamb was [sorry for the cliche] fall-off-the-bone tender, and al dente pappardelle. And I am just obsessed with all things goat cheese, so this dish just hit on all points for me. Glorious.Desserts:I happen to love bread pudding, and I'd advise any/all fellow addicts to get the Budino di Pane, traditional Italian bread pudding and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thiiiiiick and delightful. My dad also wanted some tiramisu, which I liked...but like I said, I'm all about that puddin. I was the only one to indulge in a drink, which was a vodka martini - it was fine, a little underpoured, but still fine. My dad and I also got espressos with our desserts, which were very good and strong. All in all, I have hopes for LIC's version of Osteria Brooklyn. The service could use a bit more pep in their step (but totally hospitable, helpful, nice, etc.), and maybe pay a bit more attention to the thermostat...but damn good food and an exciting new addition to the LIC waterfront dinning scene.

4.5/5Came here around 1pm on a Saturday with my friend. The service here was pleasant and prompt.We got the crispy rice with salmon as a starter it had two decent sized portioned and tasted fine.Then had the house special pasta with fresh pasta finished in the flaming cheese wheel what a great dish and the best we had . I would come back and eat any pasta here any day!! And a great show. We also had the shrimp roll from the brunch menu that was fresh and tasty and the nice mini onion rings perfectly complemented the sandwich. It was a bit over dressed.I look forward to trying more of the menu next time.

First time dining and was impressed. The chef of this eatery has esteemed accolades which proven with layered taste. The decor is quaint family style ambiance. Confusing upon entering but the nice staff escorted me inside the correct door. I had a date here which has brilliant romantic aesthetic. We had an assortment of food and tasty sparkling water. The staff gave us complementary house flat bread with tomato purée mixed with seasonings and olive oil. We ate all of it but I did have to ask the waiter to explain the dip which should've upon setting table. Sparkling Italian water is a must and the Sauvignon blanc was balanced. Our waiters were professional but dry. Anyway, we ordered BURRATA & PROSCIUTTO as an appetizer. I can't comment but my date enjoyed it especially the caramelized fig incorporation. On to the entrees. The FETTUCINE ALLA BOLOGNESE was fantastic. Light but savory taste with fresh Parmesan on top and light pesto. PAPPARDELLE & OSSOBUCO wasn't slow cooked enough but it was cooked well. This dish was saltier than the bolognese but still decadent. First time eating goat cheese, I'm a fan now. The portions are generous yet affordable for NY. To add, I didn't feel bloated despite being full. Quality ingredients used here. I still can't say I had a bad dish. Definitely keep this restaurant in your date/outing catalog. Kiss to the chef. Restrooms are located behind the pizza station and there's patio seating. I recommend make a reservation on weekends.

I was served RAW chicken. I took two bites before I got to the inside part of the chicken. It was completely raw--still pink and barely warm. I have never been served raw chicken.To be honest, mistakes like this can happen but the response from the service team was extremely underwhelming. They told me the chef was new. Nobody seemed to understand the situation and how I may get food poisoning from this. I got comped the chicken parm but I barely touched it. No other accommodations were given other than them saying "we can cook your chicken more" and "do you want a chicken parm for free?" I just wanted to leave. Nobody from management even came to talk to me. Paid $60 for a meal where I got served raw chicken.I will not be going back and would avoid. I also never leave reviews but this was just dangerous for their customers.
