Great experience and will definitely go again! The lobster bisque was delicious and a must order along with the shrimp scampi. If you love roasted garlic the shrimp scampi comes with a whole bulb of roasted garlic on top which was soooo good spread on the crusty bread that came with it. My husband got the mushroom Alfredo and it was so creamy and good. I got the roasted scallops with risotto, bacon, kale and lobster. I loved the scallops. They were cooked perfectly as well as the risotto. The sauce on the risotto was wonderful. I did not like the kale. It was smoky but almost had a Medicinal taste and I usually love kale, but I did not like the kale in this dish. We got the tiramisu for dessert. It was a good size as the two of us split it. It was just OK. We thought it was dense and dry with no coffee flavor. Our waiter was very attentive, very nice and outgoing. The overall atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, low lighting and just very relaxing.

We requested a table with good lighting, and we got exactly what we wanted. The food was exquisite, as always, and the Hugo Spritz was surprisingly delightful 😊. The staff were courteous and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for a romantic dinner.

I have eaten at Osteria 7-8 times. Each time I had something different on the menu. Everything has been wonderful on every occasion. This time I was there for a Valentine’s Day lunch. We ordered from the lunch specials. I had the lobster bisque (with the puff pastry top). He had the cabbage soup of the day. He liked his soup very much, saying it was new and different. My cup of bisque was the best I have ever experienced. Who expects bisque to feature big fresh chunks of lobster? I had the turkey club panini 1/2 sandwich. It was perfect and piled high with turkey, cheese, and veggies. He had the Caesar salad, praising it every bite. I missed the white tablecloth usually present for special occasions. I had to dig to find that tiny suggestion for improvement. These folks know food, ambience, service, and hospitality. They never disappoint.
