    This was my first time here. My husband and i were greeted by a friendly host and were seated right away. Our server came quickly and she was very helpful with the menu. We started with the Crudo from the specials menu. The chef sent over complimentary Brussels Sprouts which were delicious. I ordered the Sole and my husband had the Veal. Both dishes were from the Special Menu as well and they were both delicious. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert. We can’t wait to come back and order other dishes from the menu and hopefully save room for dessert. The service was perfection, food was delicious and ambience lively. Will recommend Osteria Vera to everyone.
