Osteria

10/10!! great location, great ambience, great staff! The restaurant looks like it's straight out of lady and the tramp! They have a ton of options on the menu. The drinks and food were spectacular.

Wife and I had Valentine's Day dinner here about a week after they re-opened. Loved the shortened menu, ambiance, and new location of the place. Nicole was our server/hostess and she did a phenomenal job on a very busy evening. The food was great but lacked salt on nearly every dish (tiramisu excluded). After we requested salt, the dishes were fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

Finally tried this place after what several years and woah this is good Italian food! My meal was so fresh and just delicious. It wasn't heavy or greasy and didn't leave me walking out feeling overly stuffed and miserable like most Italian restaurants do. I opted for the shrimp linguine i believe it was green pasta which kind of threw me off but dang it was good and i ate every last bite my plate had! The bread was okay nothing to rave about. Everyone else loved their dishes and finished them with no issues except our friend who had the pizza it's large so plan on having leftovers!I had gimlets to drink at the bar and they are delicious! Our waitress always kept checking on us and never had any problems with service!It's definitely a more relaxed atmosphere in here i had always thought it would be more of a formal vibe but way more relaxed and so many people that came in just sat at the bar rather than a tabletop. Overall this place was so good and I'd definitely have no problem coming back here again!

Food 5/5Service: 5/5Patio Ambiance:5/5This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. Met my friend here on a Sunday for brunch. She was already seated outside and I just walked up. I was immediately greeted and offered water. Brunch was almost over but the server let us know they we could still order from the brunch menu without a problem. We split a carafe of sangria and asked if it could be made sparkling. They did it and it was so fresh and delicious we ordered another. I saw there was short rib on the menu but I wanted it made with the noodles in the bolognese without the meat sauce. The kitchen was happy to accommodate me. I then got the broccolini and my friend got the shrimp linguine and a meat salad. Her salad looked amazing. She loved it. Our food came out promptly and it was so good! I appreciate the kitchen accommodating my craving for short rib pasta and sparkling sangria. I never went inside but the patio was super cute. It was that weird hour between brunch and dinner so there weren't a lot of people but it was perfect. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. My leftovers the next day were even more amazing!

Discovered this place from a feature that came across my Yelp feed. I'm very glad to receive these suggestions as this was a winner, winner, chicken dinner!! I wish I could remember our server's name but he was terrific. I'm a little picky about my whiskey and he took me to the bar where I discussed choices with a knowledgeable bar tender. He also helped us with appetizer choices and warned me that my entree selection was spicy. It's not a huge restaurant so I would suggest a reservation. I called them directly but then received a Resy confirmation. I had forgotten about using this app but it was dormant on my phone and I checked out some places that don't appear on Open Table. The food was described by the waiter as rustic Italian and said that all the pasta was made in house. It was outstanding. There is a large bar with lots of choices and I tried a new whiskey. The wine list seems largely dominated by Italian wines although I'm not saying that's a bad thing. There's a big pizza oven so there's a pizza in my future. To start we ordered the Crispy Potato Jackets. OMG, they were delicious and there was enough for our table of five. They were delivered with an aioli that tasted a lot like mayonnaise to me. It wasn't a real winner with any of the other diners at the table. We also ordered the house baked bread and olive oil. It was okay, not great - a little dry for my taste. It was disappointing that they charge for the bread. The oil wasn't dipping quality for my taste but I was the only one who didn't care for it. All of the entrees were very good. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Arrabiata which was well seasoned. I was warned that it was spicy but I didn't find it to be too much. My husband thought it was too spicy for him. It includes meatballs that are well seasoned. All of the heat is in the sauce. I thought the rigatoni could've spent a little more time cooking but that's being pretty picky. My husband had the Spinach Linguini with Shrimp. The linguini was cooked to perfection. He wouldn't share a shrimp but said they were delicious. Two at our table got the Braised Short Rib. It was hand's down the best plate on our table. They served a huge piece of meat on a very nice risotto, very creamy and well done. The meat was flavorful, juicy and tender. I can recommend this dish unreservedly. The final guest chose the salmon which was the fish of the day. It was served with his chosen side of broccoli raab and a lot of it. He said the salmon was cooked to perfection which is very hard to do at home and I can't imagine how they do it in a restaurant setting. There was no room for dessert but the choices were tempting. Go hungry and request a "to-go" box for your entree so that you have room for dessert; that's my plan for our return visit. I received two texts after we left the restaurant saying it was a great spot and they would return next Saturday night if I wanted. I don't think you can beat that kind of praise.

I enjoy Italian Cuisines, especially ever since I have been spoilt with food while in Italy. Now that I am back in the states, it's hard to find great Italian food and this place definitely helps quench the cravings. The Cacio E Pepe was just so good and creamy. The risotto and polenta was also a must try. The pizza however was okay, not something I would get again. Stick with the pasta and you will not regret it. The service was great and the ambiance was also pretty decent.

Five friends and I ventured to Osteria for our monthly dinner at a new prospect. Setting up the reservation - with a call from management to confirm and adjust seating as needed - was smooth. We were seated promptly at a table in the center of the room, which we quite enjoyed. However, had there been any more than the six of us, it would've been a challenge, as the restaurant is somewhat small. The tables don't feel cramped, but that comes at the cost of creating a more intimate setting better intended for individuals or couples than mid to large sized groups.Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu.Now onto the food:Appetizer- Potato Jackets: Crispy and full of truffle / Parmesan flavor. Very tasty.- Bread Service: Good bread, better (very quality) olive oil.- Meat and Cheese Tray: Just alright. Prosciutto was the highlight.- Pizza Frito: Best non-dessert dish of the night by my judgment. Mushrooms, a delicious pesto, and pull-worthy cheese.Entree- Goat cheese and artichoke agnolotti with sun dried tomatoes and a flavorful broth/sauce (of sorts). The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. However, there were too many sun dried tomatoes and the filling was a bit too pungent (the goat cheese overwhelmed the artichoke). I ventured out in trying this instead of choosing closer to old favorites (like a carbonara or tomato-based sauce) and wish I wouldn't have.- Spaghetti carbonara. I tried a bit of a friend's dish. Again, pasta cooked well. Coated well in sauce. However, it was a bit too smoky. Perhaps a bit too much pancetta.Dessert:- Lemon Ricotta Cake: this was astoundingly delicious. It simultaneously had the texture of a angel food cake and pound cake, both dense and fluffy. Not too much lemon, which is a good thing in my book. This was the crowd favorite of the night.- Crisp: Either peach or nectarine. Not cooked too much and had a good bit of texture (which I enjoy when served with ice cream to give balance), but could have used another minute of caramelization. The crisp on top was delicious. The ice cream was solid and not too sweet, which balanced against the crispy and sauce well.- Tiramisu: Just alright, which is disappointing given it's such an Italian staple. To be honest, it just wasn't sweet enough. Texture and creaminess were as expected, but it just needed more sugar.I give Osteria four (4) stars on principle and prospect. If I was just with one other person and ordered a bit different and stuck to a few classics (trying another pasta or pizza), I bet I'd have a comfier and tastier time. The pizza fritto and desserts have me convinced items better for self or small splitting make Osteria worth a revisit and satisfaction of a 4-5 star time. I'll be back!

We've been to Osteria a few times and I think this place is a hit or miss. Every once in awhile we get a pizza that's amazing, and then we come back and try the same pizza and it's not quite as good. The first time we had the truffle potato jackets I loved it. You could taste the truffle really well, and the second time we had it, not much truffle in it at all. The pastas here are also a little up and down. However, anything with their sausage in it has always been consistent! So any dish with that is a safe bet. So...I'm a little up and down as well with how I feel about this place. But I will say - the service here is impeccable. If you have anything wrong at all, they will fix it as fast as they can for you. And if you're still not happy, they always seem to go above and beyond to help!

I live on 16th right by the plaza, always eat down there. Tried this place, got spaghetti very bland and the mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks literally were just hollow shells of hard fried product. there was zero cheese and the salsa like marinara they gave us did not hide the fact that there was absolutely zero cheese. Could've been way better / tossed the food halfway through the meal

So good I had to leave a review, which I never do. This is a must try if you're an Italian food lover! Both the food and service were exceptional. We tried the spicy cucumbers, crispy potato jackets, chicken Parmesan, beef Milanese, & topped it off with homemade cheesecake for dessert. They make almost everything in house, and it is all *exceptional*. Not to mention the portions are huge! Our server Jordan truly went above and beyond, even on Valentine's Day, probably one of the busiest restaurant days of the year. We'll definitely be coming back!
