Osteria La Briccola isn't just an Italian restaurant -- it's a dance. From the moment you walk in, everything moves in rhythm. 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. read more

excellent dinner, we made reservations and it was needed dunce they were very busy. Carpaccio was absolutely beautifully tender and scrumptious. 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. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food. The wild boar ragu was outstanding and my partners seafood pasta was super fresh and perfecly cooked, both on beds of handmade pasta. Wonderful cocktails and an outstanding variety of local and Italian wines. Well worth the price, we will definitely be going back on our next trip to Ashland. read more

If you are looking for an incredible, authentic Italian meal, look no further. I recently dined here, and the entire experience was flawless. From the moment you walk through the door, the rich aroma of garlic, fresh herbs, and simmering sauces lets you know you're in for a treat. The Highlights The Bread & Starters: We started with the fresh bread, which was warm, crusty on the outside, and perfectly soft on the inside--ideal for soaking up their amazing olive oil. The Main Course: I ordered the pasta. You can immediately tell they use high-quality ingredients. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had that deep, slow-simmered flavor that you only get from a kitchen that truly cares about the craft. The Vibe & Service: The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale. It's perfect for a date night or a great family dinner. Our server was attentive, friendly, and gave excellent wine recommendations to pair with our plates. read more

I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday and we're really in the mood for great Italian food... We found the perfect place! The restaurant was really popular and we didn't get seated till 815 which was fine because we got a nice seating location around the bay window. They have a terrific menu, but we settled for the Bucatini and Pappardelle... both outstanding and a bottle of wine! The service was great, but I only have one small criticism... I told the owner in advance that we were celebrating my wife's birthday and I thought maybe... Just maybe... They would treat her to wonderful gelato. I guess it's a thing now that even though you spend three figures on a dinner... You aren't treated to a birthday dessert like the old days. In any event, I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We went with our brother and sister-in-law before a play while in Ashland. Definitely make reservations! We were greeted and seated right on time. My wife and I split the Insalata Tricolore con Gorgonzola. It was excellent! We also split the Pappardelle Agnello e Pistacchi (lamb) and loved it. Our guests also split the Gorgonzola salad but ordered the Bucatini al Ragu di Salsiccia (pork). They liked it, but it was a bit plain. I tasted it and agreed. Our lamb had better flavor, in my opinion. Both dishes, however, were very good. Our server, Gina, was very helpful with the wine, our selections and service. The restaurant's kitchen is on the main floor and dining on the second floor. This requires the servers to walk up and down a flight of stairs multiple times in an evening. Quite the workout. We recommend and will likely go back next time we're in town. read more

OMG their dishes were all fantastic! We were a party of four and we ordered their special of the day Sea Bass, and a Spaghetti dish, so yummy. We also ordered linguine, everything was amazing. Highly recommend this place. Added note: Daniel the Maitre'd or owner is super nice and attentive. He managed to squeeze in a table for us four when they're fully booked. read more

Are you a single, well dressed and well educated lady? Don't bother. I wore Accounting Department attire and was treated like I was in a T-shirt and jeans. The food is good, but don't dress for dinner as you will be sorely disappointed. read more

Very delicious food - had a great take out experience here. Wonderful, flavorful green salad with fresh ingredients and a scrumptious balsamic vinaigrette. Delicious fresh pastas - I recommend the aglio e olio sauce. And their flowerless chocolate cake came with two sauces; a berry and a cream sauce -- incredible. Fabulous kitchen! read more

I'm still frequenting Osteria La Briccola with no plans of stopping. You must order my favorite dish: Linguine Nere Con Salame Calabrese E Gamberi. It's the pasta dish to end all pasta dishes. Squid ink pasta, shrimp, and sausage mixed in a gorgeous buttery sauce. The freshness and brininess of the sea collide so beautifully with the heartiness of the sausage. I literally have dreams about it, wake up, and book my reservations. read more

Great service and food! Outside seating is beautiful. The food has bold flavors and is prepared well.

We were exploring downtown Ashland and followed the signs upstairs to this hidden restaurant. It was just opening and we were seated without a reservation. To say that the cuisine served was delicious is a serious understatement. Every dish was spectacular with freshly made pasta that delighted the tastebuds. My highlight was the exquisite Lamb Ragu that surpassed all my other visits to italian restaurants. The servers were, classy, attentive and efficient to every guest. The restaurant's ambience was also perfect for providing an enjoyable dining experience. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I put a longer review on Google but I will write it here as well because I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. My big irritation with restaurants these days is that they don't really create a welcoming environment or vibe. But, La Briccola is different. They will make you feel like THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU BEING THERE. The service was awesome - any server who came by our table was nice, attentive, and helpful. The food was great. The cocktails were super yummy. It was a beautiful evening with a staff who were top notch. Daniel was especially attentive to our needs. We will be back!! read more

We went to a play at the Shakespeare Festival and made reservations to eat at the Osteria La Bricolla after on the recommendation of a local friend. Three of us went and we all said WOW. Service was excellent and the food was just plain amazing. We ordered four items for the three of us. My wife had the Lazagna and our friend had the special which was Short Rib Ravioli and I had the Bucatini Al Raga Di Salsiccia Di Maiale. As an extra to share we ordered the Gnocchi Di Patate. The Gnocchi was light and fluffy little joyful bites of amazing flavor. All the other dishes were just the best. If you are in Ashland and if you like Italian food you have to go the Osteria La Bricolla as it is great. You will not regret it and like us you will be looking forward to the next time you can go. read more

Possibly the best pasta we've ever had! We ordered take out, as we were passing through at Christmas time and had a dog with us.

We stopped by on a Monday evening without a reservation and waited about 15 minutes to get seated--not bad at all. The weather was perfect and the whole vibe of the place was warm and welcoming. We're vegetarian, and it was great to see such delicious options on the menu. We started with a glass of Chianti and some fresh focaccia bread (on the house!). For mains, we had the tagliatelle with Arrabbiata sauce and the gnocchi with tomato sauce--both were absolutely amazing. The spice level in the Arrabbiata was just right--not too hot, not too mild. And honestly, the flavors were just like what we had during our travels in northern Italy. We live in San Francisco, so we've experienced a lot of great Italian food--and this place really holds its own. Dessert was just as impressive: the caramel gelato came with cream and a light sprinkle of pepper--an unexpected touch that made it really special. Everything from start to finish was a highlight. The only downside? The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, and since we're leaving Wednesday, we couldn't return for another meal . A huge shoutout to the chef and the whole team--Osteria La Briccola is an absolute gem in Ashland and a must-visit if you're in town. read more

I ate here for a family dinner with my husband and 10-year-old and we had the best time! The restaurant has beautiful decor, but is not overly stuffy. We had a great table on the outdoor patio (highly recommend) where we were able to people watch and enjoy a breezy summer evening. The service was great. The food was delicious. My daughter ordered the lasagna and it was honestly the best I'd ever had. We will be back for sure! read more

In town for a worktrip and we were recommended to check out Ashland. Great vibe, staff and the food was delicious. Meal came with to a small plate of herb bread. The carpaccio di manzo tartufo was devine! Also got their seasonal shaved artichoke salad. We ordered the Papparedelle agnello pistassho and gnocchi with pesto. Everything was delicious. Gnocchi was the softest pillowy gnocchi I ever had. Desserts was also yummy. Ordered the creme catamel all'amaretto and the chocolate tortino. 1000% recommend. We were able to walk in and got seated at the bar but would recommend you make reservations. read more

My favorite restaurant in Southern Oregon by a landslide. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is nice, and the staff are excellent. Have not found a better restaurant. The Cioppino and Salmon are the best i've had. From appetizers to desserts this place is a 10/10. All the portions are perfect and for the price the value is impeccable. read more

The man handling reservations was unbelievably rude and completely unprofessional. He told me we couldn't be accommodated at two tables because it would somehow "disturb other patrons," which made no sense at all. When I called back and simply made a reservation for half of my family, he had no problem taking it. However, when I called again to try to make an earlier reservation for the other half of my party, the same man completely lost his temper. He started yelling at me over the phone and told me I would never be able to dine at that restaurant again. He then hung up on me mid-conversation. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable. No customer should ever be treated this way by someone representing a business. The fact that this establishment allows employees to behave so aggressively and disrespectfully is disgraceful. I will NEVER support a place that tolerates staff treating people this way, and others should seriously reconsider giving their business to a restaurant that allows such appalling conduct. read more

We had a terrible experience simply trying to make a reservation. Our group was looking to book a table for 12. When we first called, we were told the only option was a private room with a $750 minimum. Since that wasn't what we were looking for, we called back to ask if it would be possible to split the group into two tables or make two separate reservations. Instead of a normal conversation, the owner became extremely hostile and accused us of "playing games" with him just for asking about the option. The tone quickly turned aggressive and he began yelling at us on the phone. At that point the interaction felt very uncomfortable and completely unprofessional. We fully understand that restaurants have policies about large parties. That wasn't the issue. The problem was the way we were spoken to for simply asking a question. Based on this experience alone, we won't be attempting to dine here and would strongly caution others planning group reservations. read more

All our food was excellent. Lovely fresh pasta and sauces. The "tricolore" salad, with arugula, radicchio, and endive, was beautifully balanced with caramelized walnuts and gorgonzola. The burrata was also delicious and a generous portion for two. Service was good overall. My only complaint is the bar was slow. We ordered cocktails which arrived after our antipasti. After our pastas were served we each ordered a glass of wine, which took an inexplicably long time. So I can't give five stars, but I'd give four and a half if I could. I would definitely come back. read more

La briccola Stunning atmosphere and top shelf staff. If weather permits, go for a table on the patio. Menu is classic trattoria style: antipasti, primi, and secondi setup. The also have a build your own pasta menu which pairs any of their 7 house made pasta with any of 6 distinct sauces. There's also daily chef offering's not found on the menu, so be sure and listen for that. Servers are completely knowledgeable about everything on the menu and very helpful with any questions you may have. Immediately greeted and offered complimentary Prosecco. I started with a most impressive imported burrata paired with prosciutto di Parma with arugula and a drizzle of olive oil. Definitely shareable, but I had to devour it solo tonight. Tonight's special was a bone marrow saffron risotto. While visually appealing, I found it lacked dimension in terms of flavor. The rice itself was cooked as it should be, but the only thing you could taste was saffron. It just took over the whole flavor profile. Sometimes less is more and saffron is one of those times. Turns out they use chicken stock, but I think a beef stock would compliment the marrow. The big split bone sitting on top with marrow exposed looks neat, but I'd rather the marrow be used as an ingredient in the risotto to bring richness and creaminess rather than a garnish on top. My standards may be unusually high and most people will be fine with this. Dessert menu looked fantastic and included my favorite, affogato. Unfortunately too stuffed to partake tonight. A liquid dessert from the digestif menu--Amaro Montenegro hit the spot! I certainly enjoyed my time here at Briccola, and hope to return to explore the menu some more. The service level and staff really set this place apart from others. Oh, allow extra time when making reservations. The parking situation is not optimal and requires at least 5-10 minutes walking and getting on an elevator to finally arrive. read more

I love eating at La Briccola! Service is excellent. All dishes are top notch. The one thing that irks me in the bread. It's like Wonder Bread. Soft and squishy. All they need to do is walk down the street to mix buy the best crusty bread in town. That would make a meal perfect 5 stars. read more

Ashland local here! This is my favorite spot for dinner in town and my go-to when people visit me. Their homemade pasta is legendary with the locals!! It is so delicious and savory. My favorite menu items are the ragus! They have lamb ragu and pork ragu- both are fantastic!! The owner is from Napa and takes wine so seriously so they have an extensive wine list that is amazing. If it is summer, request a spot on their outdoor patio that overlooks the river. It is truly the perfect date night spot. read more
