Went here for the first time recently with friends and family. What an experience! When you first see the menu you may think there are not a lot of options. Look closer and you will see a great selection of dishes that will leave you with difficult choices. The service is what you would expect at a place like this. Your water glass is always full and the team takes care of you. Great wine and cocktail list. Try the old fashioned if you're a bourbon person. The dining room may seem a bit crowded but the noise level is where you can still have a conversation with those around you. My wife ordered the Gnudi, a spinach and ricotta filled dumpling and it was fabulous. But, it did not compare to my duck leg confit with a beet risotto with duck sausage. Wow! I am just saying, this was exceptional! I have had confit all over the world and this was one of the best, by far. Overall, I cannot recommend this spot more highly. Obviously food is the pinnacle but this place hit on all marks.
We had such a wonderful experience at 61 Osteria. Our waiter was so kind and attentive in explaining the entire menu. We ordered two gluten free pastas which were unreal! Definitely one of the best in the area. The Rotollo was perfectly creamy and the wild boar pappardelle was super tender. Arancini and the Duck leg confit with beet risotto is also a must try! Highly recommend!
We got there just before close and we're not rushed. Our server was attentive and the food was AMAZING! Highly recommend!
Fine dining sets a high bar, and this venue does not disappoint from start to finish. Entry is elegant without pretension - crisp white table cloths and soft warm lighting indoors and out, with a generous patio facing Burnett Park. Apéritivo Hour should draw locals running every day in the bar & patio including drinks & snacks. I wish I had come with a larger appetite because the menu offers a balanced selection of antipasti (starters), zuppa (soup), insalata (salad), primi (housemade pasta), secondi (protein dishes), and contorni (sides). My gracious server recommended a Rosemary Foccaccia (saved for next time) and Wild Arugula salad that was garden fresh in a Texas pecan vinaigrette with snappy pecorino and the most incredible crisped chicken skin as an alternative to traditional breadcrumbs. It was light and fresh with depth and richness, a perfect starter. From cool to warm - a Kabocha Squash Soup made with honeycrisp apple cider topped a tart currant chutney and crunchy roasted pine nuts. Texture was velvety smooth, delicately sweet, perfectly balanced, thoughtfully light to precede later dishes. Dessert a must, ask for house recommendation which rotates. My lovely server remained present and attentive although I was her only patron on the patio - a sign of superb service! I'm looking forward to seconds and main on my next trip.
I would have given 5 stars because: 1. The venue is absolutely elegant, warm, and stunning. 2. While the courses were excellent and executed masterfully, I personally love hints of extra seasoning. However, the appetizers were a complete dream. 3. The service was familial yet professional, which is nice to experience at a high end restaurant. It makes me want to return again. While our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient -- and initially we were not in a rush for the evening -- I did mention having an uber scheduled for pick up 2 hours after our reservation time and they were a bit loquacious. I guess our main courses were not placed until about 15mins before our uber pick up so we essential took two bites of our dinner and rushed out. By this time the restaurant was packed. I paid cash and conveniently, their register didn't have enough bills to give an exact amount back so I paid an enormous tip. I didn't find that classy, but otherwise it was a great experience!
We've had such a great dining experience in the past that we chose to come back tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were genuinely excited -- the food has always been delicious and the atmosphere previously felt lively and welcoming. Unfortunately, while we were in the middle of celebrating and simply enjoying ourselves (nothing outrageous -- just birthday joy), we were told to please be quiet. It completely caught us off guard. We truly didn't realize we were dining inside a library or somewhere that required silent reflection and deep concentration. It instantly shifted the mood at our table. What started as such a fun, special evening felt awkward and uncomfortable. A birthday dinner should feel celebratory -- not like you're being shushed for laughing. We're honestly so disappointed because we've loved this place before. But after tonight, it left such a sour taste that we won't be back. It's frustrating when one moment can completely change how you feel about somewhere you once enjoyed.
61 Osteria absolutely delivered from start to finish. The ambiance is upscale but still warm and inviting -- perfect for the valentines dinner my Fiance planned! We started with the meatballs and focaccia, and wow. The meatballs were tender, flavorful, and rich without being heavy. The focaccia was fresh, soft on the inside with the perfect crisp exterior -- ideal for soaking up every bit of sauce. For mains, the New York steak was cooked perfectly with a beautiful sear and so much flavor. The gnocchi was pillowy and light, coated in a sauce that felt indulgent but balanced. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail. And dessert? The tiramisu cheesecake was unreal -- creamy, smooth, with that espresso-forward flavor that ties everything together. The perfect sweet ending. Service was attentive without hovering. Our waiter Brandon was amazing 10/10. He was attentive and definitely was a joy! Pacing throughout the meal was spot on. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall experience make it worth it. Already planning my next visit. Highly recommend.
Fantastic, upscale Italian restaurant! Perfect for a special occasion! The interior of 61 Osteria is absolutely stunning! One of, if not the most beautiful restaurants in Fort Worth! Service was also stellar -- incredibly friendly and efficient! To drink, I had the Saturn's Ring, which was perfectly strong and refreshing! We started with the Focaccia and Arancini, which were both absolutely delicious! You can't miss the focaccia! For our mains, we had the Tortellini, Gnocchi, and the Roasted Potato and Brussels Sprouts as sides. My personal favorites were the Tortellini and Brussels, but all of the dishes were so tasty! Everything was definitely rich, so make sure to come hungry!!
Fantastic food and great service/staff! Definitely worth a try if in DFW area. Going back soon with my peeps
Man this place is so good. I came here with my lady for New Year's Eve and it did not disappoint. They took our reservation last minute, which was very kind of them. The place was packed too, which is always a good sign. The service was impeccable and the food and drinks came quickly. Speaking of the food, it was damn good. Prices were just what you'd expect for a fine dining spot on New Year's Eve - little pricey but not crazy. The ambiance was fantastic as well. Really great vibe in there. The bar seating looked great too, by the way, in case you're interested in stopping in for a drink and getting food at the bar. Overall, I highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.
If you're looking for exceptional Italian dining in Fort Worth, do yourself a favor and visit 61 Osteria. We chose it to celebrate my wife's birthday at 61 Osteria tonight. She travels to Italy several times a year, so her expectations for Italian cuisine in the U.S. are understandably high. This restaurant didn't just meet those expectations -- it exceeded them. The evening began with a Paper Plane and an Espresso Martini, where our server Travis suggested adding the sweet vanilla cream. Excellent call. From the first sip we knew we were in good hands. The rosemary focaccia was phenomenal. Travis then recommended the Bibb salad -- light, fresh, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, I ordered the Casarecce Carbonara while my wife chose the Rotolo. Both dishes were outstanding and beautifully executed. But what truly made the evening memorable was Travis. His service was exceptional -- attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being rehearsed, and perfectly timed throughout the night. He had an uncanny ability to anticipate what would make the evening special, especially for my wife's birthday. After many travels and dining experiences around the world, it's rare to find a restaurant that excels in both cuisine and hospitality. 61 Osteria delivers both. A special thank you to Travis for making my wife's birthday so memorable. Management at 61 Osteria is fortunate to have someone representing their restaurant with that level of professionalism and care. We will absolutely be back.
Had a great dining experience and the cocktails made it even better. We weren't expecting an aviation made to perfection but that's exactly what we got. Hats off to Mike and we had to go visit him and compliment his drinks. Great food and great drinks, we will most definitely be back
I made reservations for 7 p.m. on a Friday night. We arrived at 6:45 and they had the table ready for us. Our server was Nathan and he was nothing short of great! He took time going over the menu with us, making recommendations and checking back at all the right moments. My Grey Goose martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives were chilled perfectly. The rosemary bread was amazing! It didn't even need any of the butter and sauce that was served along with it. Nathan said the Serpente was a great vegetarian option. I decided to add lump crab meat on top. OHHH my gosh!! So amazing!! The ricotta was super creamy and the crab meat was a perfect match for this entree. The restaurant was elegant and had a romantic like setting. It was clean, quiet and the restrooms were probably the nicest I have ever been in. I loved the dark marble and decor. If you're looking for a wonderful dinner experience for a special night out, I highly recommend 61 Osteria. read more
We were a party of 9 on a Saturday night with a reservation. I was. Greeted warmly when I got there and the table was ready. The restaurant is elegant and intimate. We ordered a few appetizers and I have to say the meatballs were my favorite out of all of them. The octopus we received didn't look like any of the pictures previously posted on Yelp so maybe there was a change to the menu recently. I ordered the cioppino and I loved that it was so full of seafood, which is my favorite. The broth was delicious also. I had the tiramisu cheesecake which was good. I would have loved to creme brulee or something gluten free on the dessert menu. In fairness, there was gelato but I am not much of an "ice cream" person. Also important to note that they have valet parking available because parking in the area can be tricky. read more
This restaurant is so pretty inside! Loved the interior and vibe of this place. Service was amazing too! All the staff were so friendly and kind. We went here for a girls dinner and ordered several appetizers and dinner plates and shared everything! The portions were good size too. Everything was delicious and I would definitely go back here again! Great for a girls night or a date night! Highly recommend this spot in downtown Fort Worth! read more

Rich, creamy Italian for a high class night out 61 osteria is located downtown in a modern space near outdoor art and parks. The vibe is perfect for a date or a celebration dinner. Food is well plated and attractive, the flavors lean towards rich rather than being heavy on spices. The service is attentive. Also, in my experience, they were quite willing to work around food allergies. read more
Had an amazing Galentines dinner at 61 Osteria. They offer valet parking or you can find parking nearby. The entrance is a little hard to find but there is a sign out front. We made a reservation and were seated right on time. Our favorite appetizers were the focaccia, mediterranean octopus, and the arancini. Everything was seasoned very well and the octopus wasn't chewy at all. The lobster gnocchi had a little spice kick and the bolognese was amazing. We also got a porterhouse and it was a beautiful medium rare. Drinks were good. I highly recommend the Saturns ring (little fruity bubbly sprit) or wine to pair with the meal. We ended the night with the chocolate torta which was very dense and chocolately if you are into that. Service throughout the night was phenomenal. Great spot to try out. read more

Came here tonight for a birthday dinner. Service here is top notch and has a fantastic retro vibe. Had the Serpente, Rotollo which are always good. The surprise of the night was the Capellini. This was fantastic and the caviar complimented the Meyer lemon very well. For dessert I had the cheesecake tiramisu with an espresso mascarpone. It was delightful too. read more
I was invited to a work dinner here during the week. It was a great location downtown Ft worth and had a pretty extensive menu. Our server was able to answer all our questions and was attentive. They have outside seating as well but we decided to sit inside and enjoy the views from the large windows. When it was time to Order, I opted for the Serpente and it was pasta with mushrooms and cream sauce and was very good. It must have been so good i forgot a photo of it but i didn't forget to snap the bathroom. It was super clean just like the restaurant! This place Would be great for work dinner or date night out on the town. read more

Since it's Texas State Fair season, I'll just say what everyone is thinking... PIN THE BLUE RIBBON because they are the prize pie of fine dining in Fort Worth! There's a plethora of reasons why 61 Osteria will win the judges heart, so let's break this score chart down. Ambiance: 10/10 From the moment you walk in, you'll be blown away by the vibe. It's stunning! Whoever designed the aesthetics, bravo. Service: 10/10 Courtney was our main server and she was an absolute delight! She was smiley, bubbly and gave us beautiful recommendations on the menu. Food: 10/10 Honestly, some dishes are 11 or higher! We ordered the Artichoke Bruschetta, Serpente with a side of Rosemary Focaccia and the King Salmon. Out of them all, the Serpente with a side of Rosemary Focaccia was UNREAL! It definitely highlighted how remarkable their pasta dishes are and how I can't wait to try more... and more of them. 100% homemade and 1000% worth every bite! Will I be going back? ABSOLUTELY! It's the cream of the crop in Cowtown. :D read more

Good service, good drinks, nice location and good food. Little bit on the pricier side but good place for special occasions. Loved everything we ordered but would not order the steak again, just my opinion. Not bad but wasn't anything special either for $70. Overall great experience, would go back again. read more
Wow is all I can say. 61 Osteria has been on my list of restaurants for some time now based on how much I enjoy Little Red Wasp. This place was no different. The service was excellent, but the real star of the show was the Bistecca Fiorentina. Frito Misto appetizer was delicious, as was the broccolini and potatoes. The gnocchi left something to be desired - texture was off. I'll gladly come back, the food and service was great. read more

My husband and I came here for our 1 year marriage anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, the dinner, and the dessert! We started with the bread and various accoutrements (whipped butter, handmade butter, etc). That is a must have! Then my husband had the seafood stew, and I had the pesto ravioli. Both were great but the seafood stew was excellent. And we finished with the Texas olive oil cake, which was so unique and delicious. It was pretty inside, and our booth was nice. The service was good as well. I had the espresso martini with dessert, and that was too sweet for me, but everything else was good! read more
this place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. highly recommend! We actually found this place, since we had dinner at grace a month ago. this place and grace and little red wasp are all owned by the same company/owner. Since i liked grace and this place, i have to check out little red wasp in the future. We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday and it didn't disappoint. I know there is valet in front, but we got lucky and found street parking right around the corner. We made reservations, and was seated promptly. I was actually surprised they didn't offer bread in the beginning while we wait for food, but instead they offer bread to buy, which i'm glad we did, since the rosemary focaccia bread was so dang delicious. We ended up getting two appetizers (fried seafood & grilled octopus), and a salad to share. out of the two appetizer, i really enjoyed the octopus. it wasn't a lot of food, and it was a bit on the pricier side, but it was really good. For the entrees, we ended up getting two pasta dishes. (i mean, this place is known for their pastas). out of the two (Bolognese and mushroom) both were wonderful. The mushroom pasta had tasty sauce you can dip the bread in, and the Bolognese being a classic is hard to mess up. We ended dinner with tiramisu, which i highly recommend. The service was wonderful, and the waiter was extremely attentive. read more

61 Osteria is a sister restaurant to Grace, one of the BEST restaurants in Fort Worth. We were excited to try 61 Osteria, and while overall it was wonderful, there were a few things that hindered it from getting a 5/5. Note: all the food you get can be shared, as portion size for everything is great. I definitely recommend getting several different dishes and sharing with the table. Ambience is beautiful - I could only add 10 photos, but the whole room is beautiful, and one of the classiest venues in all of DFW. Pastas were cooked perfectly, and each have a unique flavor that leaves you craving more. We had also gotten a shank that was fall off the bone good - definitely an inspiration from Grace. Now the not so good.. service unfortunately missed the mark on this trip. We know our way around fine dining and sadly our waiter was a bit patronizing through the night. We wanted to speak to the sommelier for wine recommendations as we had gotten several different dishes, but the waiter took it upon himself to give us wine recommendations.. which unfortunately missed the mark. That's on us in a sense for not being a bit more insistent to validate with the Sommelier. Secondly, the veal chop Marsala had incredible flavor, but was a bit too overcooked. More than anything I hope 61 Osteria can iron out the service piece, as that would really set them apart from other fine dining restaurant. read more
