   Short and sweet, great service and food and we will absolutely be back! Longer version, service was gracious, prompt and “classy”, if that makes sense, we enjoyed all of the staff that we interacted with. The meatball appetizer was delicious, the endive salad with bleu cheese was exactly what we wanted it to be and our pasta and steak was also fantastic. Get a limoncello along with your desert and you won’t be disappointed. Great place.

   We had a reservation for lunch at 1:00 on a Saturday and the restaurant was packed. In addition to a full dining room they had a huge private party. I was impressed that the food came out in a timely manner and everything was hot and delicious. It was another wonderful meal at Osteria.

   Osteria has always been a favorite place and was good Saturday at lunch, but not up to usual par. Only one server handling a room full of tables. Just seemed like an off day. Perhaps a large party in the main dining room. That said. Lunch was good, and we’ll be back.

   So delicious. I loved the mushroom pesto gnocchi. There's an extensive wine list

   I have been to Osteria numerous times and always been very pleased...until now. I ordered the Seafood Ravioli, as I often do, because I've always loved it. The menu says it has a "lightly spiced sauce." Well, this time it was burning hot. The sauce was so spicy hot that I could not even eat one whole piece of ravioli, even after scraping off the sauce because it was creating a painful burning feeling in my mouth. I told the waiter that it was much, much hotter than I remembered and he didn't seem to care. I didn't (couldn't) eat anymore. Thank goodness, there was a roll left that I could have as my "entree"! I brought the ravioli home for my husband to eat the next day. He adores very spicy food and even he said it was very hot. Not only will I not be returning to Osteria, but I also will tell my friends who like to go there about my horrible experience. It's too bad, because it was one of my favorite restaurants.

   AMAZING, the food is authentic, they make their own pasta. The sauces were incredible, service perfect. We just had appetizers until we surrendered....the wine the owner helped pick was also AMAZING. It was a Sangiovese Reserva 2016. I just wish this restaurant was in CT.

   Outstanding as usual, and you can never go wrong with the lobster risotto.

   Stated when booking that it was a birthday celebration and a birthday dessert. Staff made no reference of these in welcoming us out during our visit, reflecting a feeling of irrelevance. Food and drinks were good, moist and not overcooked. Overall a little disappointing but a good experience.

   Super good! Great date night spot! Since it was a Monday night it wasn't very busy, but there was a solid crowd! I would highly recommend making a reservation Thursday-Saturday.

    I have been there three times now, twice for lunch and once for dinner. Every time the food the service, everything is outstanding! I love seafood, and I've had their bronzino, the trout, and the snapper. Everything was exceptional!
