    Chicken Parmigiana
    Kerrigan Y.

    I am a huge fan of M'Osteria. I usually come Thursday after work to take advantage of their happy hour. They have a good wine and local beer selection, plus their pizza, which is all half off during happy hour. Their pizza is "hand tossed" and reminds me of a New York style pizza - it's REALLY good. They also have fresh pasta and bread. They are one of the few places in Toledo that I have found that does handmade pasta. The servers are all friendly, they're in a great location, and the space is really nice. It's casual but bright and modern. They're underrated - they're one of my favorite Italian restaurants!

    Ravioli with Bolognese

    The Limoncello Spritz was divine, the flatbread was scrumptious, and the house-made Ravioli....amazing! Nick was a very attentive waiter and if I ever return to Toledo, I'll be returning to eat here!!

    Sausage and Pepper Pizza with Black Olives added.

    Restaurant is beautiful, clean, and lively. The tables are a bit close, but it creates a nice chatter throughout the room. The others who ate with me got the pizza and said it was great! Came out hot and the cheese was amazing. I got the chicken parmesan, which was alright, nothing special. The pasta that came with it was lukewarm to cold, which was disappointing. Our server was also sadly very inattentive, and only visited our table maybe 4 times. Overall, the food was good and I would eat there again. I wish the service was better though.

    Arriving a little after 5, we assumed it would be no problem getting a table for two, seeing the restaurant was mostly empty. Oddly, the gentleman at the front of the house let us know the entire restaurant was booked up for the evening with reservations, and our only option was to sit at the bar, which we gladly accepted. A friendly bartender took great care of us as we placed our orders and waited for the restaurant to fill up. This was certainly not our first visit, and having reasonably good meals in the past, our hopes were dashed when our food arrived. While "comfort food" might be an appropriate description, everything felt lazy. The food lacked any sort of voice or perspective. Textures and flavors were completely one-note, and our entrees were devoid of any freshness. Yes, the pasta was technically fresh, but also completely overcooked. My Pork Sugo (cheek meat) might have as well been labeled as a stew or soup. Boring and mushy, and a surprising offering on a Friday night when one would assume their A-game is on. Nothing we ordered was terrible, but for the price, nothing was anywhere near what we hoped for, or expected. And as we left the completely empty restaurant an hour and a half later, we wondered why we couldn't have at least been underwhelmed while sitting at a table instead of hunched over the bar. Downtown Toledo needs classy joints to mix it up with the sports bars, and I suspect M'Osteria will remain a hot spot as long as it's owned and run by a very wealthy individual. But our recent visit was an expensive (for Toledo) complete disappointment.

    Let this be a warning to those thinking of dining at M Osteria Bar & Lounge. I don't take writing bad reviews for restaurant experiences lightly. It is something I almost never do. But after taking a day to collect my thoughts and reflect upon my experience at M Osteria Bar & Lounge Toledo on October 1, 2022, I felt compelled to leave this review. My experience at this restaurant was beyond disappointing-it was insulting. In fact, it is safe to say that it is the absolute worst experience that I have ever had at a restaurant. Period. My aunt, cousin, and friends drove hours from out of town to visit and spend the night with me in Toledo. We decided to go to an early dinner; I suggested we go to M Osteria. I tried to call and make a reservation earlier in the day, but nobody answered the phone when I called. When I checked the website, it said that "Walk-ins are welcome anytime." See below. So we decided to walk in when the restaurant opened. From the very moment our group of 6 adults (late 20s through 40s) walked into the restaurant at around 4:30pm, we were immediately treated with disrespect by an employee named Susie. She spoke to us in a demeaning and rude tone and made it very clear that she was annoyed with us even being present in the restaurant. She sternly asked us if we had a reservation to which we replied that we did not. This angered Susie. She begrudgingly gave us an ultimatum: she barked that we had to "be in and out if we wanted to be seated" and she would only seat our group if we left by 6:15pm because her first reservation was at 6:30pm- two and a half hours later. We were confused and, frankly, the whole exchange was bizarre. There was nobody else in the restaurant. Susie was telling us we only had nearly 2.5 hours to eat, which was obviously more than enough time to eat an early dinner, and yet she was, for some reason, angry about seating us before her first reservation at 6:30pm? On top of this not making any sense, the tone Susie took when she told us we would have to leave at 6:15pm, was sharp and disrespectful. Mistakenly, though, we agreed. Clearly annoyed, Susie marched us to our table. When we got there, Susie threw our menus down and said she would be back to take our order. It could not have been more than a minute before she returned and demanded our orders. We were all shocked as we barely had any time to even look at our menus. It was obvious Susie was trying to rush us through our meal and she was not even trying to hide it. Not even a little bit. She hastily took our orders and departed the table. As though Susie's degrading and demeaning attitude was not bad enough, the food quality failed to make up for her complete lack of hospitality. When Susie delivered my friend's appetizer to the table, it was ice cold. When Susie came to drop off the rest of our food, she dropped the plates onto our table in absolute silence and hurriedly turned around and walked away. In all seriousness, she did not say one word. As she darted away from our table (apparently, as fast as she could) I was forced to virtually yell to ask her if she "could please bring me some crushed red pepper." With her back facing me, as she continued to walk away, we all heard Susie respond with a sarcastic "Yes, of course." The food I ordered, Cavatelli, was awful: bland, small portion, obviously microwaved, overpriced and cold. But even though our food was horrible, (which was arguably not Susie's fault) we were genuinely afraid to say anything to her about our dissatisfaction because of how poorly she was treating us. Her tone was hostile with us throughout the entire meal. It was as though we had done something wrong just by being there, but we did not know what. My friend even overheard Susie speaking to another group of three women that walked into the restaurant in a similar, demeaning way. However what might have been the absolute worst and most degrading part about Susie's unprofessional and disrespectful conduct was that, throughout the entire meal, she continued to refer to our group as "kids." As I said, we were adults in our late of 20s, 30s and 40s, not children. To think that I brought my friends and family to this restaurant, who drove hours to come and visit me from out of town, including my physically disabled Aunt who is a cancer patient undergoing chemo therapy, I was absolutely mortified, shocked and embarrassed at the way Susie was treating us. Susie acted noticeably irritated and tried to rush us through the entire meal. The majority of our conversation was spent talking about how rude she was being to us. It was both strange and upsetting. We considered talking to the manager several times during the meal but, at least I, was so shocked as to how I was being treated, I did not think I would be able to articulate the extent of the issues even if I did speak to the manager.

    The tortellini was very good. I loved the sauce it was in and glad I got the garlic bread knots so I could dip it in the sauce! (Garlic bread knots on their own would have been just so-so). The meatballs were pretty tasty. Their charcuterie board was shameful. For the price, there was not much. The two cheeses were both a variant of blue- and I would have liked a variety. The meat didn't taste good. We had good service. She was friendly and mostly on top of things.

The sound was great, and we were pretty close to the stage. They do let "members" in 5 minutes early, but even with our delayed entrance we had close seats. The gentleman I assume is the owner did a short introduction after telling us about future shows, and he chatted with the crowd after Charlie ended his show. It was all very cozy and I would come back for another show. There is a 2-drink minimum and the selection, while small, is fine. We were also told to ask for anything we didn't see. They also offer chips or pretzels as a snack during the show. After the show, Charlie did a meet and greet in the lobby. It's always a treat to tell the artist how much you enjoyed his show. :-) We got a great deal on a room for the night that included the ticket cost. Our room was on the main floor. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's actually inside of a hotel and is easy to miss if you don't know the area. We also had a difficult time figuring out where to park. To get into the venue you have to walk into a hotel lobby and check in. We were amongst the first to check in because it was important for us to sit up front. The way they had the seats put out were in rows and the front row had maybe about 8-10 spots. It's a small venue so most of the seats are good but I'm super picky about where I sit. I was happy the venue did not choose to shove a million openers at us. We only had to deal with one and the headliner came on promptly after. In order to use the restroom you had to exit the venue and go into the lobby. The acoustics sounded great and we were happy with the show. What made me deduct one star was their obnoxious 2 drink minimum policy. Neither of us drink so we were pretty annoyed that the waitress kept coming up to us and pressuring us to order drinks. She even interrupted the performance to take our order. Since neither of us drink one of us got a cup of plain hot water and I ordered a mudslide that I only took one sip of. It hurt paying $20 for something we did not drink so please beware of us. We were grateful that the drinks were not more expensive than $10 each at least. The hotel looked very cute and we were sorry we were not staying there. The owners seemed like lovely people and we did not come across one grouchy employee.

We came a bit early since we were so eager and we sat at the bar for a few drinks before our table was ready. I ordered the Water on Mark cocktail with lucre since they were out, but substituted with pear and to be honest. It was a fantastic drink. My fiancé ordered a smoked old fashioned and we watched the bartender work her magic. The ambiance of this place makes you feel so cozy, but with such a vibrant crew who really know it all when it comes to the restaurant business. We were then guided to our seats and we started to drool over the amazing food menu. We saw a wild mushroom toast for an anti pasta and we had to order it. The flavor was impeccable. The whipped ricotta was a perfectly creamy element to bring out all the amazing flavors of the mushroom and sauce. We also had to order a Caesar salad, because when in Rome, right? We were so excited for our main dishes, but we could've kept eating more and more of that anti pastas. I ordered the Seared skin Bay Salmon and he ordered the Chicken Parmesan. To say both were delicious would be an understatement. The chicken Parmesan sauce was on another level. You can tell that they're making the sauce in house. My dish was the best of both worlds. The salmon and pasta was delicious separately, but complimented the other flavors perfectly. We didn't have room for dessert, but man were we wanting to try some. We will be coming back here as much as we can in the future. Amazing spot.
