So sad that this gem closed down!!! Incredible food! Best lasagne I'd ever tasted. And great live music. Very bad news.

Great spot for live jazz during dinner time, probably the best part about this place. Just a couple of miles away from the old town in the area. I recommend making a reservation as a place is uncomfortably squished. Tables are lined up practically to the door. - Carbonara - 5/5 - Porcini - 5/5 I didn't ask but based off of the noodle texture, I almost think the noodles are homemade? Perfectly al dente. You have to look for street parking in the area, I would suggest coming just a tad bit early as there are several restaurants in the area and they all seem to get pretty packed read more

Wow! This is definitely a hidden gem in Sausalito. It's a couple streets off the main downtown area, so it's a little quieter. There was a live band in there when we went and they were absolutely wonderful. We got the homemade focaccia, the insalata del mercato, the gorgonzola gnocchi, and the funghi risotto. All the food was very delicious. The focaccia was warm and soft and perfectly baked. The salad was fresh and great for the spring. The asparagus and snap peas were such a great addition. The mushroom risotto was complex and so flavorful. It was a little on the watery side, which unfortunately detracted from the dish. There were plenty of mushrooms and the risotto was still amazing. The gnocchi was to die for. The actual pasta was soo pillowy and soft, just simply incredible. I've never had gnocchi with such great texture. Loved the food here, just wish the risotto was a little less watery. The service was also great and fast! read more

Little Italy right in the middle of Sausalito. Simple and romantic restaurant, very nice for a night out with a special loved one or friend. Everything was just spectacular here. My favorite would have to be the Agnello Al Porto, it was just seasoned to perfection and so tender, it just melted in my mouth. The service was great because of the limited seating, they can cater to everyone's individually in a timely manner. The lighting was easy on the eyes but highlighted the food on the table to give any foodie the best photos they can acquire. This is definitely my favorite Italian restaurant and I can't wait to visit again. read more

Date nights is a must! The BF mentioned Date night and I'm like where? He asks have you been there before? I said no. Located in the beautiful city Sausalito. I'm always in ahh when I travel towards Marin. The views are amazing. Anyhoot, cute town with mom and pop shops all around. Service was quick and very attentive. Drinks: Moscow Mule & Old fashion= stiff and good Appetizer: burrata with Asian pears, pomegranate seeds, micro greens, with balsamic reduced dressing. -Refreshing and delicious Main course: Egg plant parmesan & Carbonara-We were so hungry we killed it! Amazing sauce and pasta flavors were unique. It's definitely a perfect date night read more

Great bartender. Made good recommendations for vegan options. Food was fabulous as well as the Old Fashion.

What was a great Italian experience that i have returned to and sent others too, has taken their nose dive from the last time I was there. First state service was unacceptable. I walked in and stood in all three sections of the restaurant and no one acknowledged me for more than 1520 minutes. In fact, the bartender stared at me multiple times with a no acknowledgment. They staff is so scattered. No one knows who's in charge of what service whether it be water, food, seating, wine. Sadly, to my disappointment, the pasta nowhere near matched up to what I had experienced in the past years. Very disappointed and will not be coming back. read more

Service was great. Sat outside and never felt left out. The food was incredible. I have eaten Italian all over and coming from NY I was taken back on how good the homemade Fettuccine was. Light thin and just amazing. I love that you can mix and of the sauces with any pasta. The menu has so many good options. Highly recommend this place! read more

we spent the afternoon in sausalito and my fam was looking for a good place to grab dinner at. i currently have a gluten allergy so i was looking for a restaurant that served gluten free menu options and found this place. i thought their gnocchi would be gluten free and was SO excited to try it but sadly it wasn't. i however was able to try their risotto and steak. i subbed out the mashed potatoes that came with the steak with roasted potatoes and WOW. they were the BEST roasted potatoes i ever HAD. they were so crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. idk how they made them that way. the filet was also cooked so nicely with a nice crust on it. the risotto was also DELICIOUS and seasoned perfectly. literally ate both dishes that night and left feeling super satisfied! in terms of ambiance, the restaurant was super romantic and beautiful. i would definitely go back for a date with my boyfriend. the service was also great! would definitely come back here when i'm in town again read more

I want to start by saying that this was the cutest date spot. The ambiance is perfect for a date night with lively music at the front and a more quiet, darker candle lit ambiance in the back. We ordered the funghi risotto, the Gorgonzola gnocchi, and mercato salad. I don't recommend ordering the funghi risotto as it's quite watery and the mushroom flavors didn't come through well. The Mercato salad was DELICIOUS with perfect amount of vinaigrette and fresh flavors coming from all the veggies. The gnocchi was the STAR OF THE MEAL. I have never had gnocchi so pillowy soft - it has set the standard for all gnocchi moving forward. I still dream about the pillowyness and Gorgonzola sauce. The staff was also very friendly and very speedy with our orders. They brought everything together and were very proactive with checking in on us! read more

I hadn't been here in years, experience was mixed. Ambiance, service and live music were very good but the food was inconsistent. Caprese appetizer was clearly preplated and sat in the frig, tomatoes were mealy. Homemade gnocchi and lasagna were very good and fresh. read more

When they ask you, "Would you like any bread?" YES. The answer is YES. The steaming warm delicious bread was a great start to a fabulous dinner at this gem on Caledonia. Cocktails were spot on. For appetizers, we had the beef carpaccio and caprese. Both were huge, fresh and delicious. But the pasta was out of this world. The vongole had amazing flavor and perfectly al dente cook. And the papperdelle del casa was pure umami wrapped in fresh pasta. Even though we were stuffed, we managed to squeeze in a few bites of gelato. The live piano music and ambience was spot on for date night and our server was fantastic. We will be back! read more

This is a nice place for a date night if you don't mind be further from the water. No reservations were needed for a Saturday at 5pm (which is when they open). Not many people were there by the time we left at 6pm. Service was very quick and friendly. You can choose between indoor and outdoor seating (I recommend outdoor!). I ordered the Amatriciana which was good but not amazing. The sauce wasn't spicy at all, and I wish there were a bit more onions. Overall, the dish was slightly saltier than what I usually like. read more

Well, I just realized that I lost my Elite status....that's okay though....Yelp lead us to this lovely osteria on Sunday so all is forgiven. It was a beautiful weekend. After riding over from the city, we were parched and ready for breakfast OR lunch. We parked our bikes and searched Yelp. I am not too fond of long reviews so the rest will be short. We decided on breakfast (brunch) and ordered: Mimosas- w/ fresh squeezed OJ Classic Benedict- OMG, perfectly poached eggs and THE best homemade English muffin. Burrata and butter lettuce salad-- excellent and with peas and peaches. Yum. I wanted to order the "ravioli de la casa", so we will be returning soon. Highly recommend. Note: They have indoor and outdoor seating. They take reservations, but we did not have one, but luckily found a table outside. For brunch, you order inside at the bar and they give you a number. (We waited at the table for quite awhile before realizing that), once we ordered, service was excellent. read more

I love this little spot for its great food, live music and ambiance, but I have to give three stars due to the service. My girlfriend from out of town was visiting and we made reservations to ensure we had a table. There was a larger private group in back, which wasn't an issue until they began seeking tables. We had only been seated 45 minutes, and were finishing our food and wine when the waiter asked if we could finish at the bar to free up a table. If we had been sitting there for an hour and a half, or had ordered more wine - I would understand. I declined, and told him as soon as we finished the glass we had we would leave. He apparently made a comment to a couple waiting at the bar, who were glaring at us. We were out in under an hour, and the last 15 minutes were truly uncomfortable. It put a sour note on a great evening and was completely uncalled for. read more

This restaurant was such a great find! It had a great ambiance for a date night and the back room was filled with a nice lounge vibe, cushiony couches and intimate space for a nice dinner. Lots of pasta options with plenty of seafood and the portion sizes were plenty for a full meal. Would definitely come again! read more

Came here for dinner on a Thursday evening and decided to dine outside. Luckily it wasn't freezing cold (no heat lamps) and we could still clearly hear the live piano music inside. Service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. Lots of vegetarian and dairy free options. I got the forte dei marmi spaghetti and shared the cavolfiore as appetizer. The cavolfiore exceeded my expectations. Very healthy mix of cauliflower, spinach, and bell pepper lightly sautéed with olive oil. I enjoyed my forte dei marmi. Fresh sauce and portions were good. I was definitely full after. For dessert, I got the tiramisu. Not too sweet or heavy. I quite liked it. Dinner wasn't exorbitantly expensive, but was priced right considering ambience and quality of food and service. Hoping they'll install heat lamps soon because I'm sure outdoor dining is here to stay. read more

Three words: pesto clam sauce. This might have been one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The pesto + clam combination created an explosion of flavor that truly left me speechless. The eggplant parm was also phenomenal (not too heavily breaded) but the pesto clam sauce definitely stole the show. Pro tip: order a side of bread with the pasta to dip into the leftover sauce read more

The food was absolutely delicious! So many nut free, non-beef/pork options to eat! We honestly couldn't decide what to eat! We started with the Bruschetta on focaccia bread and it was delicious, not soggy but fresh! Next, we decided on a butternut squash gnocchi with mushrooms and a pasta dish with smoke salmon. Both were absolutely amazing! There were so many options it was hard to choose! The restaurant itself is really nice. Think a speakeasy mixed with great food. It's very dark though, but they provide you with little table lights so you can read the menu. My one and only (minor complaint) was the service. I made reservations way ahead of time letting them know it was my husband's birthday. Upon arrival they didn't really care we had a reservation and sat us right next to the entry of the kitchen. It wasn't busy then so I'm not use sure what they sat us there. Between the loud (but lovely) music and sitting right next to the kitchen it was almost impossible to have a good conversation. We had a few good laughs when people kept running into my knee (I'm tall didn't have much leg room). Overall, the food and atmosphere were amazing. Just wish they took a little more pride in the people who took the time to make reservations and to tell them ahead of time it was their birthday. I felt like they were annoyed when I mentioned, "The birthday boy would love to see the dessert menu". The staff seemed very rush and not interested in anything else but clearing the table. read more

I had some of their delicious vegetarian options. Great service, live music (Thursday night), and plenty of parking on a quiet street. Cavolfiore - got this wonderful cauliflower dish for an appetizer. It was flavorful and filled with delicious vegetables, which was great because the rest of the meal was less healthy... Ravioli Della Casa - was between this and the Gnocchi Della Casa, but it was cold out and was looking for something rich and heavy. The Ravioli delivered with the shitake and black trumpet mushrooms delivering umami. The toasted almonds on top were a nice touch. Tiramisu - decadent and excellent. Enough for two people. Overall, I had a great experience and it's a good place for a date or 1:1 chat with a friend. They don't have heat lamps outside though so make sure that you are wearing something warm on cooler nights! read more

My favorite restaurant in Sausalito. I love the neighborhood feel of Divino. I feel every table is a good one, except the small table right by the door. Unless, you're listening to live music. Then, it's worth it to be so close to the door. The owner is super kind and makes her rounds to check on guests. The menu is well thought out. It's comforting to have Divino, and it's a go to for date nights. read more

After staring at abundance of mussels, clams, crabs and fishes at A tidepool nearby, we decided to get seafood pasta. This place has outdoor dining and heater. So off we go! Five stars for the ambiance! The live jazz performance definitely added plus. However, it's so hard to relax when you are cold. I dont think the owner ever dine outside themselves. I am writing this carefully, since I understand this is a very tough time for them. There is 1 heater for every 4 tables. If you get the tables in the middle then hurray, but if you were seated on the outer table, then tough luck. We ate our pasta in a hurry. Our tables ordered: Shrimp Curry Pasta, Pork Chops, Carbonara, spagethy with Fungi, and Vongole. Maybe I am biased but I tasted nothing else but the heavy cream on every single dish. read more

After a long day showing out-of-towner friends around some San Francisco Sights, we walked across the Golden Gate and I brought them down to Sausalito, where we had a superb dinner outside, accompanied by stunning jazz and blues music. My friends agreed it was a memorable occasion, we all loved the seafood Italian dishes (around Jackson Mississippi and Lexington Kentucky, I guess, the cuisine is different!) and thought the experience very good value, the prices reasonable (though tax seems high). The knowledgeable waiter was willing to check on what he didn't know (I have allergies, so asked about ingredients), remembered our orders well, checked on us regularly, plus was sociable and friendly without being intrusive. We chose the place partly for the live music and indeed the musicians were top quality; we only sat outside because we wanted to talk, and it was a little loud inside for that, but we are all professional musicians, with very high opinions on the music that night. So I recommend the food, the service, the music--there's a place on the bill to tip the musicians but I went inside to tip them in cash and to tell them in person how much we admired and enjoyed their playing. read more

What a hidden gem! It's off the main street so it's nicely tucked away. This is everything I love in a bar / restaurant...it's dimly lit, has cute little table lamps, live jazz, an adorable bar, great drinks, and great food! It's hard to find places that hit all the marks but this is it. The service has always been excellent, very prompt and friendly. Do yourself a favor and keep this spot in your back pocket for a date night! It never disappoints. read more

We ordered takeout dinner from here last week and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered Bucatini carbonara and Norma as well as Scrimp scampi curry pasta. My favorite was Shrimp scampi but Bucatini Carbonara was the star of the day among those who ate meat in the family. We also ordered caprese salad which tasted fresh as well as prosciutto. All in all, it was a wonderful dinner and would definitely order from here again. read more

One of my favorite places in Sausalito. They have a seasonal menu and rotate food items but everything I've had has always been delicious. I recommend a pasta of some sort because it's made in house. Their cocktails are well crafted and the bartender makes great recommendations. The live blues music is awesome and creates a wonderful evening vibe. Make reservations because it fills up fast. read more

Everything was delicious. The service was excellent. I drove over an hour to eat here and I was not disappointed.

Super disappointing. I've been living in Marin for years and always passed by this cute little restaurant wanting to try it. Tonight we got to do that. Beautiful little dining room in the back with great lighting and wonderful music. The food was just bland. The cheese platter was pears that were so hard. I couldn't cut them, the cheeses were not very good. Our salad and main dish were also uninspired. I really wanted to like it, but do not plan to return. read more

Avoid Elizabeth and Osteria Divino at all costs! I've been to this establishment multiple times and the service is always TERRIBLE. 1. We ordered the seafood risotto which was actually some defrosted seafood on a bed of white rice. I asked the waiter who answered verbatim: "white rice and risotto are the same thing." It was a busy nice and there was food on the table so we did not want to be those people who send food back when the kitchen is clearly slammed. 2. Our drinks arrived after we finished eating. Instead of bringing 4 cocktails, they put 8 manhattans on the table at the same time for a party of 4. They didn't even offer to compensate us for their mistake. 3. I tipped based on the service we experienced and the food. The waiter followed us out to confirm we tipped $40. I confirmed the check he presented and handed it back to him. Upon looking back at it, he LAUGHED and walked away. The next day there was an additional $80 added to the credit card charge. It's not even worth calling the bank to report the fraud, because Elizabeth is clearly desperate for any dollar she can scoop up on Caledonia Street. This place is a scam and Elizabeth is a con artist. There are only so many restaurants in Sausalito, but I'd rather eat McDonald's than give Elizabeth any more money. This place should be reported to the BBB. read more

So good! Love the food quality and ambiance. Definitely returning for the pasta and pizza :)

What a cozy Italian dinner I had here last Sunday evening! While it was raining outside, I was treated to live jazz music, warm bread, and delicious Italian food inside. :) After walking around Bridgeway restaurants and getting sticker shock, my group trekked over to Caledonia Street (the hidden gem of Sausalito in my opinion!). We were surprised at how reasonable the prices were here. My friends ordered lasagna (I tasted it -- superb!) for under $20, which I thought was a great deal. I opted for the homemade gnocchi at $16. While the pesto wasn't super creamy (more like coarsely-ground basil with whole pine nuts), the gnocchi was melt-in-your mouth fabulous. Also, the fresh bread that was served at the beginning was piping hot and so delicious that our table kept asking for more. All in all, a solid dining experience in Sausalito, made all the more wonderful by live jazz music. read more

Third time here. This visit was disappointing. $25 Caesar salad was small and overly bathed in a mayonnaise-type dressing. $8 extra for anchovies. The $42 entree of Fettucine de Mare or seafood pasta had little flavor and was not well presented. Our server was nice but was always in such a rush; it didn't feel like personal service for an expensive restaurant. Noisier than usual. They try to fit so many tables in a small space, it's uncomfortable sitting so close to other diners, especially when a diner is particularly loud as we encountered. Middle dining room needs ambiance; it's dark and the little bit of lighting is not warm. A candle for the table would have helped. We had a "lovely" view of the kitchen hallway from our table. Love small restaurants like these in New York but Osterio Divino needs a refresh. read more

Super upsetting to have to write this review, because I thought this restaurant was great when it first opened. I reserved their back room for my boyfriends birthday. I agreed to pay $2100 for a pre set buffet style menu (including all food & drink, gratuity, etc). I was charged $500 for a deposit, and was told this would be put towards the overall bill. We arrived at the location, enjoyed our evening, then left. I thought everything was okay, until Morgan, the event manager told me a couple days later that there was "damage," and missing items. I had no clue what she was talking about until she emailed me saying "a chair leg broke, and a candle was missing." They said I owed $171 to replace the " missing candle" and brown chair leg. I never saw a chair leg break, so I asked all of my guests what happened. One of them said my 100lb girlfriend sat down on one of their chairs, and the leg immediately broke. Morgan watched the whole incident, whisked the chair away immediately and apologized. (I did not witness this) Morgan then turned around--knowing that I was not aware of the incident, and tried to charge me $171 for something that was the restaurants fault. If their chair couldn't safely support a 100lb individual, then they have unsafe chairs. Additionally, she tried to say that one of my guests "took" a supposed missing candle. As if someone would steal a candle from my group. We were a happy mature group of 33 year olds--not teenagers that would ever think to steal candles from a restaurant. I couldn't believe that Morgan would try to take advantage of me and the situation and charge me for something that was SO clearly not our fault. I also noticed on the "final bill" they changed multiple line items, charging me way extra than the initial bill. They also never attributed my $500 into the final bill, over charging me $500. I then requested that they remove the $340 gratuity due to how upsetting and wrong it was that they tried to monetarily take advantage of me in multiple ways. My emails went ignored by Morgan and Elizabeth, I'm am having to go through my credit card company to deal with this. I will never go back to this restaurant, nor will any of my local friends. Shame on Morgan for taking advantage of good local patrons. read more

I was so looking forward to try this highly rated restaurant and was so disappointed once I tried the food. The dishes lacked taste and were extremely oily. The Branzino was literally dripping v oil with every attempted bite. The veggies surrounding the fish were also drowning in the same oil as the fish. The oil itself didn't even taste like EVOO. I would never have imagined Branzino could be more unhealthy than a burger! Really unacceptable preparation from a restaurant that seems itself to be of a certain caliber. read more
