Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Osprey

Really enjoy this restaurant and its food. It’s intimate and professionally friendly with an interesting menu and great tasting food. Will return again soon

Food was phenomenal. Atmosphere was incredible. Server answered any questions we had about the menu. He also made sure the kitchen was able to accommodate for my son’s allergies. Seafood ravioli was delicious. Over all great experience and will definitely be back.

They were not very busy through our dining experience between 5pm and 6pm. The service was a bit slow but the food was very good. We all finished our dish and also enjoyed the wine and beer. They finished off the night by giving us a shot of a limoncello concoction which was excellent, we wanted a gallon to go. Overall, it was a very good experience.

The food quality, preparation, service and ambience was outstanding as it has been each time in our previous 5 visits. It's quiet personal atmosphere is perfect for engaging in conversation without having to raise one's voice. It is both intimate and very reasonable. We love Maestrale !!

A+ for Apulia! We ventured out to Placida to dine at Apulia, we have had several positive recommendations regarding Apulia, we were not disappointed! We had an amazing dinning experience. Every aspect was spot on, very welcoming staff, comfortable seating and pleasant decor, more importantly the cuisine. We started our visit with a couple of Negroni cocktails, well balanced and enjoyable. We began our dinning experience with the perfectly crispy fried Calamari, very tender Calamari robed in a very delicate yet crispy coating, not a heavy batter or breading, perfectly flash fried. Our next course was a Romana Salad, very similar to a Caesar, creamy, very fresh without the vinegar taste many other restaurants use. This Salad was so enjoyable I could have made it my meal. We next ordered the Cappellacci, a Lobster Ravioli in a Vodka cream sauce that tasted akin to a Lobster bisque, nice pieces of Lobster as well, we both had our forks in this dish, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We also had the Tonnarelli which is squid ink pasta in a wildly flavorful Puttenesca sauce, a variety of olives, plump shrimp cooked to a turn. This dish was very authentic and would definitely order again. The deserts were too enticing to pass up, we shared the Semifreddo Blanco, perfect ending to our meal, not overly sweet, very palate pleasing. My wife had a Espresso Martini, again a perfect pour. Excellent wine list, we had a Cabernet Sauvigon 4 Bears from Paso Robles. Service by Sarah and Nicole was impeccable, friendly and informative. It was a pleasure to have a nice conversation with Michael the manager as well. Really have to make sure the Chef and staff get their accolades, they presented us with a beautiful, delicious dinning experience. This was our first visit and we are sure to make Apulia a regular choice! Apulia is located in Placida.
