About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
*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.

    The food and the service were phenomenal! We were a party of 5 and we were all impressed as it was our first time at Osteria. From appetizers, to main course & dessert, all were delicious. The staff was on point and very attentive. Our glasses were promptly refilled as well as any request we had. Our waiter was very professional and attentive. I will definitely go back soon.

    Our waiter Mike was great. He made special recommendations and steered my wife from the hanger steak to the skirt steak. Both entrees were delicious and enjoyed sharing them both. We started the night with cocktails: espresso martini & glass of Cabernet. We ordered the Palermo Pizza for our appetizers and was surprisingly delicious! The only negative from our night out was the restaurant was very cold with a constant cold breeze going throughout our dinner. Overall great dinner and night out!

    The service was horrible, our waiter said he had 8 tables it was a busy Sat night which is 5 tables too many. Never got the salad we ordered. Our dinners took waaaaay too long approximately 50 min after ordering We had 5/30 Reservations The noise lever is too loud to have a conversation with the person you’re there with! 1 st and last time I’d eat there!
