The interior of this place is incredibly beautiful and so inviting. I sat at the bar and saw many items on the menu that looked so good. I was in the mood for seafood and really wanted their zuppa di pesce but didn't want a whole portion because I know I wouldn't be able to finish it. The bartender told me that I could order a half order which was incredibly exciting. I checked out the rest of the venue and the outdoor area in the back which was kind of magical. I tried a few mocktails, they were good, the coconut one was best. The dish I ordered was delicious, as well as the bread served with olive oil that had roasted garlic in it. I loved everything about this experience. I learned that they have an all you can eat buffet every Sunday for only 40 dollar. Can't wait to try it. Thank you Osteria!

The ambiance is still very nice. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't very loud, but I can see…read morehow it could get so because we had a table of very loud women next to us. Can't imagine if we multiplied that by any additional tables. I just want to bring up the bread. Such a wasted opportunity to serve something so inexpensive that has such an impact on the overall experience. The bread is bafflingly bad. It's dry, and hard and tastes like nothing. The garlic infused oil that should improve the old stale bread is served with the hard skin still on the garlic. That's not edible and it's also not easy to remove once it's all mixed together. A small complaint about the lasagna. It's mostly cheese and very difficult to find any pasta among the soupy cheese and tomatoes. The taste is good but it's a bit of a rip off to serve something like lasagna with one or maybe two layers. The chicken parm was still delicious as was the polenta appetizer. Service was friendly and prompt. If they could just fix the bread and garlic situation and maybe bulk up the lasagna with some noodles, we'd be back.

Updated review since my original was for their old Monroe location. We had a reservation for a…read moregroup of 11 and were seated right away. Our server must have been very new since it took him over 10 minutes to get our drink order and then we waited another 10 minutes for our drinks. He ended up forgetting one and that increased our wait to 15 minutes. we didn't order appetizers and put our dinner order in. we waited for almost 45 minutes before we were served. Food was very disappointing, nothing like it used to be. Other large groups in the room that were seated after us, got their drinks, appetizers and food before us. They got their checks before we were served dinner. My only conclusion is our server was not on the ball. Going to take a lot to convince me to come back.

I gave them grace due to holiday and kept it moving. The fried mozz was great the quality of the mozz was very nice it wasn't just your normal store bought fake cheese and the portion was huge. The prosciutto and burata was only ok as the balsamic drizzle was super over powering and you could t get away from it The filet my son had was cooked to Perfection (color wise) but lacked flavor My seafood pasta was a hit it was full of every kind of seafood and on point with flavor They have a dedicated lot for parking but it gets full fast because they have a party room They offer a full bar Take credit card and reservations Take out can be ordered but no delivery

FOOD; came out at a reasonable timeframe but average at best with a below average sausage and broccoli rabe sandwich. Chefs need to get more creative with spices? SERVICE; female waitress behind the bar could not have been more standoffish and unfriendly. Our young waiter was fine. AMBIANCE: We sat out on their tented-in porch. Very loud with plenty of loud-mouthed softball players that the staff could have maybe said something to quite them down? In no big rush to get back there!!!

After a crappy day of work and life we decided to treat ourselves and the restaurant did what it was supposed to do, end our day on a great note. We had their special rigatoni with sausage and mushrooms and it was plate-lickin' good. The chicken parm was also well-liked by my mom and all the desserts: cannoli, tartufo and tiramisu were delicious. Oh, and our toddler was stuffing his face with his mini-cheese pizza, the perfect size of slices for him to hold and devour. A fantastic trip, well above the norm, and now this is a repeat consideration for both takeout pizza and in-dining. Look inside is modern with black walls and minimalist design and service was friendly.

I've been a few times, once I got the pizza and the other time I got chicken piccata. I think this place shines with their dinners.

My dad was intrigued by the tripe special entree, which was very difficult but he enjoyed it. He liked his fagoli soup too. We had cappuccinos too, delicious! Service is like your mom is serving you, they usually only have one server but she's working hard and making everyone happy. Ya can't go wrong here.
