*Call for reservations*Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience. We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible. The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

We love dining at Solo. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We recently moved to another state and came back on business. We were able to meet friends for dinner at Solo and it did not disappoint. Wish we could find a restaurant like Solo in our new town

Vito, our waiter was great. The food was excellent and the portions were great. The Martinis were outstanding It was crowded, so a bit noisy for an early evening, but I guess with the holiday season on a Saturday night it happens

As usual I very much enjoyed my meal. Due to having Celiac disease I can only eat the gluten free penne which you cook perfectly with your great sauses. It would be soooo great if you got GF seasoned bread crumbs so I could order your great chicken parm.-baked clams-stuffed mushrooms It would also be great if you had an option to get GF bread at the beginning of the meal with the cocktails ...toasted w/butter,,, with your homade eggplant tompinade. I know there might be a cost for it, but if you keep it reasonable restricted eaters like myself would not complain
