    The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. My wife had branzino and I had eggplant parmigiana. Both were delicious. I also had a pear salad that was good but a bit underdressed. We then shared affogato for dessert that was yummy. The service was great and the bill was modest for what we had. I recommend!

    Very nice looking place and a unique bar feature. The strip steak wasn't particularly flavorful and I was told that the fish (Trout) I believe, was over-seasined, so it took away from the natural flavor. They had a nice wine list, everybody's plates looked delicious and the service was responsive and friendly.

    The tuna was fair at best. The eggplant parmigiana was delicious. My advice is to stick to Italian food which is winderful.

    I was disappointed with the food this time. My clams casino appetizer was full of shells, the clams were not cut from the shell making difficult to pry loose, and they were topped with chopped carrots( unusual) and big, undercooked pieces of bacon. The chicken in the chicken piccata was very tough. Very disappointing for an old standby!

    Osteria is a neighborhood gem and a guaranteed authentic Italian restaurant. I've had intimate dinners, as well as birthday parties, and most recently my wedding rehearsal dinner here; we've NEVER had a bad meal, or one that was 'ok'. The quality is excellent and it's real Italian food, not the 'americanized' stuff that a lot of other restaurants that call themselves Italian do...
