Each course arrives like a perfectly timed step, flowing effortlessly from one to the next. The food is bold yet elegant, comforting yet exciting. Every bite feels intentional, like a well-rehearsed routine where nothing is rushed and nothing is overlooked. You don't just eat here -- you experience it. The flavors build, pause, surprise, and finish strong, leaving you wanting just one more turn around the floor. The staff moves with grace and confidence, anticipating needs before you ask, guiding the evening without ever interrupting its flow. It's the kind of place where time slows down, where dinner becomes a moment, not a meal. Osteria La Briccola captures what great Italian dining is meant to be -- passion, energy, warmth, and soul. If food could dance, this is what it would look like.

Bianche e nere was excellent: squid ink and regular white linguini with shrimp and porcini mushrooms cooked to perfection in a white creamy sauce with some pancetta as well. Very tasty! as dessert we had a caramel flan with amaretto and whipped cream on the side... super delicious as well!! service was great. Parking in downtown is challenging but we found a street spot not too far away. It's a bit on the pricier side but very much worth it!!!! the decor is lovely and "our room" had about 8 tables in it.

The server was a teenager with no sense of humor but that's ok. Our food was fine. We ordered pasta and my husband and I shared a salad. We ate lots of bread and they refilled as needed-2 kinds. White & wheat. It was fine. We each got a different pasta dish. I had one of the specials of the day. It was a fettuccine with creamy dill and mustard sauce with chicken. I had enough for my lunch the next day (but I did eat a lot of bread before the salad & pasta came). I'm writing this a week later and to be honest I don't remember much about the salad, if that tells you anything. Others in our party had eggplant parm which came with pasta, another pasta dish with added meatballs, and angel hair pasta with prawns. Nobody raved about how amazing their food was, nor did they complain. I noticed somebody else's review about dirty menus but I didn't notice that so maybe they took care of that. All in all, I wasn't impressed, but nor was I displeased overall. It was just...fine...

Well not ALWAYS but Martolli's is. We got the Vegan pizza. The only one on the menu because we were hungry and needed food lol. Well it did NOT disappoint. I ate 2 slices. Both of my kids had 3 each!! I do have to say we should have gotten a larger pizza because my monsters didn't leave me enough. They'd easily have each had another slice and I'd have been happy for two more. The crust is a perfect wood fired crust. Light and crispy but not HARD. The perfect balance between hard and soft. NY style. Exactly. If you know...you know! The sauce was great. A nice Italian Red Sauce that didn't overpower but complimented the pizza crust and toppings. The staff was great. Very friendly and happy. It's a chill family spot and it feels like a local treasure that I sure am glad we stopped in to eat at. And we WILL be back. We plan to come again next summer!

Little neighborhood Italian restaurant for a quiet residential neighborhood far out in north…read moreAshland. Harder to find than I'd thought. Google Maps is slightly misleading: the restaurant is actually right on the NW corner of Fair Oaks and Mountain, inset behind the lawn and sidewalk, and the parking lot entrance is hidden up on Nevada Street. Came here looking for a change from the busier places downtown. Stark and plain decor, nicer-looking out on the patio. The menu is very small and mostly pizzas. Pesto fettucine was a big bowl of heavy, chewy pasta with a rather nice creamy sauce. Ordering it with shrimp added gave about ten large, meaty shrimp (no shell), which was nice to have but didn't distract from the fact that this remained basically a large bowl of heavy, chewy pasta. Nice service, the more so as there were hardly any other customers, but the food was basically just OK.

We also had to walk up a steep and long flight of stairs to enter the restaurant. It is a cozy place and we were greeted and seated promptly. I spotted a window table for 2. Their menu had what we were looking for: an 11-inch 'Firenzi' pizza and a Ceasar salad. We shared these delicious items and even had extras to take away for a meal the next day. (We have a cooler) Hubby also had a delightful glass of Pinot Noir. At the end, we were surprised by a complimentary dish of spumoni ice cream with a lighted candle in the middle- to celebrate hubby's birthday. It was a perfect ending for our last night in Ashland!
