Seriously, no exaggeration as this past Friday enjoyed the boar ragu pappardelle and the veal saltimbacco. So delicious, so full of flavor, just perfect in so many ways. This fantastic meal was followed by the cappuccino cake, moist, creamy, just the perfect finish. We've eaten here many times and look forward to many more meals in the future. The only thing better here is the owner. She is so very welcoming, full of energy and very engaging. The whole experience is worth the visit to this hidden gem.

Incredibly nice and hospitable and provided excellent service. The inside is cute and quaint and you can tell this restaurant was a dream! The inside is small but gives a more intimate feel. The food was not great. The place has amazing reviews, so maybe we stumbled on the wrong food. They don't have a kids menu but have basic pastas for kids. We got ours a spaghetti and meatballs which was a large portion. The sauce tasted can like. I had the shrimp pesto. The sauce was more liquid than a thick creamy pesto, which I normally don't mind. The gnocchi was good but the sauce was heavily seasoned and not super delicious. The shrimp was a large portion and okay. My boyfriend had the lobster risotto. The actually risotto was good but the lobster was tough and overcooked. I only saw pasta selections and not a lot of appetizers. We had the fried Brie cheese which was pretty good. I really enjoyed the bread but had to ask for olive oil. They have a house made eggplant that I didn't care for. The prices were outrageous. Our dinner cost $150 with no alcohol. Overall would not come back, which makes me sad for the business :(

When we ordered we never expected for the portions to be so large. I am not complaining, it's was quite pleasant. Everything we ate was fresh and most of it tasted homemade. The food had love in it. Is there anything else to say with that? The pizza was tasteful every bite you took. My son had the spaghetti and I had to try it. It was great. Plenty of flavor but my favorite part was them meatballs. Not to dense, cooked great, and the flavor was there. The cheese bread doesn't even need sauce but it makes it even better. Thanks for the love you all show here.

He sprinkled rose petals over her and the table and what can I say to that!!.. Just a perfect restaurant in every way.. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would!!!

The wine and beer were good. our order was taken, we received bread & oil and placed our food order. We had just finished our appetizers when our meal came out (appetizer dishes had not been cleared). The Branzino was good, the pizza lacked flavor and skimpy on toppings. Our server never came back to the table after we were served our appetizers! We had to flag her down to get a box and the check! The server was visiting other tables 4-5 times but NO ONE came to our table to ask how everything was or if we needed anything. We were completely ignored after we got our appetizers (Another person brought out our dinner and took away the appetizer plates) That was the last we had anyone come to our table. There were other people working and talking to guests but we were Ignored! We were Very disappointed and we will not be dining there again.

However, the customer service is sorely lacking. I accidentally didn't push the delivery option while ordering on line, but I did give the driver a $10.00 tip for the 2 mile drive. I called and explained and asked if they could please have it delivered. At first I was told "no." When I asked why, she said there was a $3.00 delivery charge. I offered to send the $3.00 back with the driver. We only had $2.20, but the driver said that was fine. We found they didn't include the ranch dressing for the salad, for which they charge $.75. I called back and told them about the delivery fee and missing salad dressing, and that believe I now owed them $.05, which I would bring by soon. She never apologized for the missing dressing and just said we won't be able to do this in the future. I believe I won't be able to order there in the future.

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.
