   Spectacular. Quiet, delicious, beautiful, and very reasonably priced. Put this restaurant on your must-visit list when in Santa Fe.

   Very disappointed in the meal. The pasta was definitely prepared ahead of time and was rock hard. Hopefully this was not an indication of their usual quality.

   I would not recommend Osteria D' Assisi for a nice meal. I will start by saying that we were a couple dining on the restaurant's busiest night of the year, Christmas Eve. We were looking for a special meal and unfortunately we didn't get it. First our seating. We were seated at a two top that should not have been there. My chair was actually partially in a corridor between two dining rooms. Next the service. Our waiter was good, but he clearly had too many tables. He came by to take orders for drinks, food choices, and desert. Otherwise we were attended by assistants. Given that there was a hefty service charge on the bill, we felt neglected. We had cocktails with our Hors d'oeuvres and wine with our meal. The cocktails were okay, which is not okay at a premium price point. It's not that hard to make an excellent drink. Both of our glasses of wine were excellent. Our food was a mixed experience. We were dining with a prix fixe menu with three courses. Of the 6 dishes 3 were excellent, one was good, and one (a duck breast main course) was almost inedible. I am not a person who complains or sends dishes back, but perhaps I should have in this case. My duck was tough, underdone, and nearly tasteless. I am a huge fan of duck generally, so I was quite disappointed. Overall, the experience was pleasant enough, except for the duck, but at a premium restaurant wit premium pricing we were disappointed.

   A busy Christmas Eve but service was excellent. The pre fixe menu was a little pricey but food was excellent. Everyone was having a good time so great atmosphere.

   This restaurant never fails. Everything was delicious and is one of our favorite places to eat. Lino, the owner is quite gracious, and it shows in his employees attitudes.

   Main dining rooms were all crowded and noisy so we were seated at the back dining room upstairs. Service was spotty back there because they were very busy, but the peace and quiet was worth it. The food was worth the wait and all prepared from scratch, this ain’t no Olive Garden, it’s fresh and tasty and authentic Italian. Hats off to the owner for a wonderful delicious experience.

   Outstanding food and ambiance. Waiter was outstanding. Would have given 5 stars except for food taking a long time to arrive. The problem was not with the serving staff but probably the kitchen being overworked.

    Very bad experience!!!! After one hour waiting for our food shrimps were chewy, food was salty…. and the list can continue. It turned out that three dishes out of four was a failure. They have ruined a wonderful moment with my family. We ended up paying $150 for drinks only and eating a lot of bread. I don’t recommend it!
