    Hands down one of my favorite neighborhood spots. The front patio is very cute and there's always a wait on the weekends. The food is delicious, especially the risotto fried balls, pepperoni pizza, lasagna, & Cacio e Pepe. Don't sleep on the tiramisu, it's one of the best!! Manager is always making the rounds and chatting with customers. Very solid food & friendly ambiance.

    Visited Oste for a nice Sunday lunch. Booked ahead for reservation so we were able to sit with no wait time recommend getting a reservation. For a group of three people, we got two pizzas and one appetizers and it was plenty enough to go around. Ordered the Funghi and the Calabrese pizzas. Among the two I would stick with the Calabrese more than the fungi, but both were good to eat no issues. It was a nice dining experience. Everything with the interior to the nice open window setting in the middle of LA felt nice. Our server explained the menu very carefully and recommended a few of the pizzas which we did order. Also got the Suppli Al Tarturo which was a nice appetizer to get. The truffle aioli sauce is really good and if you pair with the pizza, it's actually pretty good too. Parking is street only and valet is available.

    My friend and I visited OSTE for our monthly date night. We sat on the patio which was dimly lit for the evening. We both love Italian food, and OSTE is known for their authentic Italian dishes. The only downside was that our table wasn't big enough to fit all of our food and drinks. Baby gem lettuce caesar: So good, so delicious. The garlic bread crumbs really add a nice touch to the dish. Claudia: Our server let us know that OSTE is known for their mussels. Whenever mussels are on the menu, I am ordering them. We both really like white wine mussels, and these really hit the spot. Prosciutto pizza: I'm from Chicago, so pizza in LA is really hard for me to enjoy. But this was incredible. I really enjoyed the thin slices of prosciutto. The arugula helped to build a slight peppery taste which added to the flavor. Overall, I'd highly recommend OSTE for your next friends dinner, date night, or even impressing your parents. You won't be disappointed.

    Bravo! This is a late review, my husband and I came here with a reservation the day before Valentine's Day (I worked in the service industry IYKYK). I loved where we were seated, the ambiance was lively and romantic. The food and wine were excellent - my mussels were definitely the star of my show and my husband raved about the pizza! I need to say that the service outshined everything! It was VERY busy, but our server, the food runners, busser and even the owner were on top of everything - new plates, silverware, lots of water. We loved our leftovers too.

    4.5 Stopped in and enjoyed a nice dinner on their patio, which is heated and cozy. The Roman style pinsa here is very good - thin crispy flatbread-like dough with plenty of toppings. I ordered the Oste and liked the combination of onions and guanciale. I really enjoyed the cocktails here as well. The mussels were more average and pricey ($29 for the Sofia mussels). Service was friendly although it took us a while to get our server's attention to order food after she took our drink order earlier.

    This place was sooo good! Great date night spot. We sat outside on the patio but the inside was a pretty cute vibe too. The bathroom was nice too and had a candle that smelled amazing! We started with the Caesar salad and some bread. Then we got the mussels which were so good. We got the Sofia mussels and the sauce was amazingg. For the mains we got the branzino and pomodoro pasta. It was the perfect amount of food and we also got a bottle of red wine that paired so well with the food. They coursed out the meal perfectly we ended up being there for like 2 hours. I really enjoyed this meal and the service was also great with great recommendations and let us take our time

    Some non-pretentious good italian eats in a typically pretentious area. Was pleasantly surprised with the ambience and food at the restaurant. Honestly was expecting something a bit more uppity, but was date-y of a vibe while still not being stuffy. Was served quickly. Had some pretty good cocktails, stuffed squash blossoms, a mushroom pizza, and lasagna. Also had a bit of dessert. Was good times and would recommend as a date spot.

    This is my favorite spot in Los Angeles. As someone who frequents restaurants a lot, I am always impressed by the standard and quality of this place. I order the Sofia with the bread + olive oil. I am a huge fan of the rigatoni and their tomato is so fresh. I can't get started on the coffee and how good their espresso beans are but their machine does the trick at making sure each batch feels like heaven. A huge shout out to Carlos for being such a great bar tender, the espresso martini w the tequila made in house is yum. Their speciality cocktails never disappoint. I always look forward to my next visit.

    Oste is officially my go-to on West 3rd. The Pinsa (Roman-style pizza) is a game changer--the crust is so light and crispy, you don't feel weighed down afterward. The Mortadella & Pistachio topping is a must-try. ​Service & Vibe: What really stood out was the service. Even on a busy night, the staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and fast without making us feel rushed. The patio has a perfect "hidden gem" European vibe that's great for people-watching. ​Fast service, amazing food, and a beautiful atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    The food here is phenomenal! We came with a larger party and were able to sample most of the menu that way. From the appetizers, to the salads, pizza, and pasta you can't go wrong with anything here! Service was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. The food was made to order quickly, and the portions are generous. The prices are well worth the splurge, the quality speaks for itself. Highly recommend recommended if you are looking for a fantastic meal in the area!

    Me and my fiance are a huge fan of oste. It's a go to date night spot. Ambiance is great, feels nice but not intimidating. Food is always good. You can't go wrong with any of the pinsa and the panna cotta is unreal. Service is friendly and the owner will very likely come to your table and ask how everything is. The flavors remind me so much of my own nonno's cooking, it's a big nostalgia hit. Can't wait to be back!

    Suppli Al Tartufo
    Sid D.

    We were in the area and we decided to walked a bit early on a Saturday evening without reservations. They were kind enough to find us a table and were seating in few minutes. Ambiance is great; lively and great sitting area. For food we order bunch of different things: To start we got bread and olive oil, Suppli Al Tartufo (Risotto fried balls), and Carciofi Alla Giudia (deep fried artichoke). All of these appetizers were great. Ofcourse fried risotto balls and artichoke were delicious. Absolutely recommend. For mains we had: Viva l'italia - excellent pizza!, Paccheri Al Pomodoro (large tube pasta in tomato sauce, and tortellini. All the food was delicious and made to its perfection. Sauce in all these pasta dishes were amazing. Food was full of flavors all the pastas were al dente! For dessert we tried their classic tiramisu and it was absolutely to die for!! Highly recommend this place and I will visit soon to try different dishes.

    Viva L'Italia

    The pinza sounded interesting to me and drew me in for a dining experience. I treated my mom for her birthday and we tried a handful of items from their menu. We started with the Ceasar salad and burrata and beets. Fresh, cheesy salad complemented by a flavorful pistachio and mint burrata dish. You could potentially skip the side of bread. For our mains we shared the Viva La italia pinsa (pesto base) and the pappardelle pasta with oxtail. I loved the rich flavors of the pasta!!! Very comforting and satisfying. Pinsa was great as well, felt much lighter than actual pizza! We had to wrap up dinner with tiramisu and it was a homemade hit! The dining space is very cozy and warm. We were seated "outside" but it was tarped tastefully and had plenty of outdoor heaters. Our waitress was very kind and friendly. The entire staff was quite attentive.

That said, the wine list is so strong you could throw a dart and land well every time. The food complements the experience beautifully. Order a pizza and a charcuterie board and let them do their work alongside the wine. After leaving, I sat in my car for a few minutes just to savor the lingering sense of peace and equilibrium--exactly what I needed to carry me into the following day. V Wine Room isn't just a destination; it's a pause button.

I also didn't know they have a rotating menu with different chefs, so when I came in craving for something like steak frites and find out the don't have it even though their sample menu lists it on their website, it kind of throws my mood a little.
