Another outstanding experience at Matteo. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday and our waiter made it the most memorable and beautiful evening. His suggestions were perfect and added so much to our meal. He even sang happy birthday to our friend in Italian and has the most incredible voice. The entire experience was amazing!

A unique experience. They only do a buffet on Christmas Day and it was amazing. So fun to get to try so many of their wonderful dishes. The Cauliflower Vichysoise soup was excellent as was the beets and the Brussels sprouts. I do hope they continue this tradition of offering a buffet of all of their famous dishes once a year on Christmas Day.

The cocktails were excellent. We had a variety of food and most all of it was great. The shrimp taquitos, while visually pleasing, didn't have much flavor. However, the fried chicken, both steak sandwiches and the burgers were excellent. We tried the asparagus fries as well, still firm and very tasty. Will definitely go back for steak. The service was excellent.

Osteria Amore is our favorite restaurant, and tonight was easily the best experience we’ve had so far! Every visit is amazing, but tonight stood out, thanks to Josh, our fantastic server. He put together an incredible three-course dinner that felt effortless and perfect. The food was, as always, absolutely phenomenal—this place never stops impressing us. From the delicious dishes to the warm and welcoming vibe, Osteria Amore nails it every time. Can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable evening!

Best evening we’ve had in a long time. Food was fabulous and service was outstanding. Ambience was beautiful and even though busy we felt we received the same attention as if it was slow. Thank you for the most enjoyable Christmas Eve dinner.
