We met with 2 of our best friends and enjoyed an absolutely wonderful evening and meal. The service was fantastic from start to finish. We enjoyed the Crab Bisque. Then the entrees were just fantastic. One was the Snapper special, another was the tortellini special followed by 2 chicken piccata entrees, which were all absolutely amazing. We highly recommend Osteria Ama to all those wishing to enjoy a wonderful and delicious Italian meal!!!

Food was fabulous! Prices are reasonable. I suspect they were a little short staffed with service but it was still acceptable, but not really attentive. Music was a little loud for our conversation but not enough for us to ask for it to be lowered. We will definitely return and are thankful you are here for us to enjoy.

The food was excellent. Our server wrote nothing down and had the order correct for 8 people that had several changes to the dishes compared to the menu offerings.

This is the second time that we’ve been to Osteria Ama. Both times we truly enjoyed our meal. However, the second time we went they were low on staff and there was a lot of wait time. The waitress that was there did an excellent job serving everyone. We will definitely go back.

I had gone a few months ago and have been disappointed in the quality of my food, the owner immediately reached out to me and offered me a gift certificate to come back. We went last night as a family, and it was absolutely outstanding. Everyone loved their meal, it was one of the best eggplant pasta dishes I’ve ever eaten. Definitely back on their game!!!

Everything was lovely. It is a real gem. Service was great; the food was perfect. We got there early. My grandson remarked about the ambience; although he did not use that word. He's 8. The menu was filled with so many choices, it was hard to decide, so we said we would come back for another meal in order to try more entrees. The portions are large. The crab bisque and mushroom soup were great, as were the risottos and pastas. The tiramisu was excellent. We will be back.
