We went with another couple. It's a nice restaurant where the tables are one on top of the other. It was nice to not be sitting so close to someone else like in many other restaurants today.
The menu is quite varied. We had a Caesar salad and a mixed salad to start. The Caesar needed more dressing as it was a little dry. The citrus salad dressing on the mixed salad was one of the best I've ever had. I would return to Osteria Gente for the mixed alone.
For the main, my wife selected the Gnocchi Lobster and I got the Paccheri Con Gamberi. The gnocchi was good and there was a small lobster tail cut in half. If there was crab meat, it was hidden as it wasn't obvious. The Paccheri was green? and it tasted ok, but not great. There was some cut up pieces of shrimp at the bottom of the plate and 3 good-sized shrimp on top. The portions were a good size.
For dessert, we got the homemade Italian donuts. This, too, was a good portion. It was good but could use more flavour. The cappuccino and lattes were nicely served.
Overall, I'd consider returning as they have a good menu. Perhaps pizza next time? It looked good. read more
