    The best Lobster Bisque I’ve had in a long time. Puff pastry topping was a unique touch. Excellent service

    This is my favorite local eatery. I go often, and often I bring groups with me. I gave an overall score of 4 stars for only one reason: what’s with the menu changes? Locals, tourists, and foodies know and love lots of dishes here. Some dishes are held over from the previous owners of Napa River Grill. We wanted the tomato soup, for example, which is available but is not on the menu. It’s definitely a signature dish that isn’t available at other eateries. They still have it; we ordered it, and it was wonderful. But it’s not on the menu. Why would they “hide” a favorite dish? I recommend Osteria. They never disappoint. But keep your signature dishes on the menu please.

    Easter Brunch was ok. Quite pricey for longer buffet lines. I’d try a regular menu dinner, but not the Easter Buffet again.

    I had an amazing time at Osteria! The food was absolutely fantastic, the atmosphere was amazing, and our waitress (I am so terrible with names, she was either Ashley or Emily. She had really cool tattoos) was very attentive and really helped make our evening memorable. 10/10, will go again!
