We had a reservation but got there a little early and the staff treated us so nicely AND were able to seat us a little early. The food was delicious. It was anniversary celebration and we couldn't have asked for a better meal. The quality of the ingredients came through with everything we had. Beautiful setting would have loved to sit outside but inside is quaint. read more

High quality cuisine in small Ashland, Oregon. Obvious attention to details. The star of our meal was the artichoke salad which was made with very thinly sliced raw baby artichokes on a bed of arugula with a tangy dressing. Pasta was top notch. Notably the marinara sauce on the spaghetti had too much sage in it but that is a matter of personal preference. Service (Carly) was perfect and professional. Loved the huge 1950s photos of famous people devouring pasta. read more

The food was very good, especially the carpaccio and squid ink pasta, and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We noted on our reservation that we were celebrating both an anniversary.The staff did verbally acknowledge our celebrations, which we appreciated, but beyond that, there was no special touch or gesture during the evening. We certainly weren't expecting anything extravagant, but since this restaurant is known as a special-occasion destination, and we had specifically included celebration in our reservation, the experience felt a little underwhelming for such an important dinner. Overall, the food was excellent, but the special-occasion experience didn't feel quite as memorable as we had hoped. read more

Absolutely one of the best places for Italian food! And just in general! The lasagne is amazing but so is everything else. In the warmer months it is a good idea to book a reservation in advance, especially for the outdoor seating overlooking the river. They also have an extensive wine list and impressive collection. read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly server and everything was excellent. Started with Canelli bean soup, wild Boar pasta and mine was tomato cream sauce sausage over Rotini. It was awesome. Tiramisu for desert was off the charts. read more

Wonderful location on Ashland creek with great patio dining! My husband loved the lasagna; I had an appetizer that I am not seeing on their online menu: Italian tuna (canned in oil), gorgeous tomatoes, burrata olive oil and basi. I brought half home; the next night I toasted some good bread, spread the burrata, topped with the tuna and the tomatoes. Yummy!! read more

Osteria La Briccola - The tuna/tomato/burrata appetizer - Italian Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

We visit Ashland every from California to celebrate our Anniversary and to attend the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. We always dine here during our trip...this restaurant never disappoints!!! In the elevator ride up to the restaurant, we met Daniel (manager) who we've known for several years now. He knew we had a reservation and he was going to sit us with our requested server. After he checked us in, he walked us to our table outside and provided us with complementary Prosecco for our anniversary anniversary...such a nice gesture. Our server, Carly, (who we had last year) was wonderful again. She's friendly, informative, and very attentive to your needs.. her recommendations were spot on and definitely enhanced our culinary experience. The smoked carpaccio, bucatini, and Carmel flan were outstanding!!! Also, the pace of the food coming out was impeccable....we will definitely be back again next year read more

Our first time in Ashland, we wanted to go to something authentic. The gal from the mercantile store recommended Osteria La Bricolla. However we did not have a reservation, but she said to call or sit at the bar. When we got there we got seated immediately. Had the spaghetti my girlfriend had the lasagna. We asked about a pairings. Our server gave us a good recommendation which did not disappoint. read more

Osteria La Briccola - Restaurant is on second floor. - Italian Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

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

Our visit was good from start to end - table was ready for our reservation, and we were greeted warmly by everyone. Carpaccio to start - excellently prepared. The main dishes were very well balanced and tasty - penne pomodoro, squid-ink linguine w/ shrimp, and the tagliatelle w/ wild boar ragu. Lasagna we had high expectations for, but didn't wow us like the others. Desserts were good as well. Would definitely be back if we were are in the area again. read more

Update: checked both lunch and dinner. To-go site continues to be down but works for other restaurants. It was our 15th anniversary, and we wanted to try something new to us. Because I had a migraine, we figured we would try take out. When we tried the website, it said "Currently not accepting orders," so we figured we would call instead. Most bizarre experience. We were put on hold as they were helping another customer (completely understandable and fair, hostess was kind and no issues) but listened to "The Hall of the Mountain King," one of the most stressful and off-putting hold music we could imagine. We like to give things a chance, especially for celebrating such an important occasion. When another employee picked up the phone for our order, we were told to order online. We explained we could not order online, that the store was reflecting as closed/unable to order when we tried. He said that he would check and turn it back on. We both kept trying the website in the meantime. When he came back from hold, he said that the website should be working and said, "Well, I don't know what to tell you, man. I don't have time to take your order." One of the rudest, most disrespectful customer service experiences I've ever had and on our anniversary, too, especially from a more expensive place. We are locals and live in Ashland. My partner and I have both (in former careers) been in customer service positions, and it was wild to us how disrespectful and rude he was. For the future, if you cannot take orders over the phone, perhaps you might say, "I apologize, but we cannot take orders over the phone, due to staff capacity." Not hard, not abrasive, and friendly but direct. We are bummed. Would still like to try this place but very hesitant given this experience, and the fact that their online ordering system doesn't seem to typically work. If we had liked it (service and food), we had planned on being repeat customers. read more

I was with some friends in Ashland for a bachelorette outing this spring, and the restaurant where we had planned on eating dinner ended up having an event going on and we were unable to go there. We ended up just wandering around the area looking for an alternative and stumbled upon Osteria La Briccola; I'm always down for Italian, and it looked like there were some good options for the members of our group who were gluten free. There were 7 of us though, and we were told it would be about a 50-minute wait for a table. It was getting kind of late to be looking for somewhere else to go, so we were like okay, we'll just sit and wait. As we were walking away, the general manager Daniel rushed out and said if we could give him 15 minutes, he could have us set up in the private dining room. We didn't even know such a thing existed, but we said okay, cool. Reader, it could not have possibly been a better experience. We waited a bit (less than 15 minutes, even) and walked into this private space to find a large family-style dining table all set up for us, with candlelight and music and the whole bit. Our server Patrick was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu, able to answer all our questions, and had a great sense of humor. Everyone ordered something different and ended up trying bites of each other's food, and it was all delicious. Several of us even ordered dessert; I don't normally, but the salted caramel gelato sounded too good to pass up (and it was well worth it). It was such a great evening and was, I'm sure, 10x better than the other place we'd originally planned on eating at. Thank you Daniel and Patrick for taking such good care of us! read more

I came solo and got a seat at the small bar on a busy Saturday night. The bartender was outstanding and attentive while orchestrating the drink orders. The vibe was casual but upscale. I had the carpaccio, delicious! Vodka martinis and a couple suggestions from the bartender. The front of the house was attentive and good. Overall great job. Good spot for date night. read more

Osteria La Briccola - Bar seating - Italian Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

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

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Came in for an early dinner and were so glad we did! decor and ambiance are amazing. Food was - and I quote- the best meal weve had in memory. perfect service, amazing pasta, lovely wine. Excellent timing, service . Felt cared for but not rushed at all. Our new favorite restaurant. We were so enjoying ourselves that we completely forgot to take any pics read more

Superb northern Italian cuisine in an elegant restaurant along Lithia Creek. The food was terrific, and the service was even better! Even on a busy Saturday night, everyone made us feel welcome. Our server Carly was so kind, incredibly helpful & knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. We started with an antipasto, tagliere di affettato misto. It was a huge - prosciutto, salame, mortadella, burrata, and other goodies. (Carly brilliantly suggested boxing some of it to take back to our hotel room with a fridge but no microwave. We saved room for our entrees, and had an elegant and safe lunch for the next day!) The entrees were both excellent. My husband had the wild boar ragu on house-made pasta (tagliatelle cinghiale) which was outstanding. My gnocchi with a creamy gorgonzola sauce topped with walnuts (gnocchi gorgonzola e noci) was fabulous. We've traveled a good bit in Tuscany and Umbria, and felt that this meal was as good as any we had there. We're already planning our next trip back to Ashland, and looking forward to our next meal at Osteria La Briccola! read more

The hostess was very rude and declined to service walk in with plenty of tables available and over an hour before closing. I was surprised with the terrible hospitality treatment, we will not be recommending this place to anyone in the future. read more

I guess if you don't order from the bar, you don't get good service. Lasagna was a little too mushy. Seafood plate was good.

Wonderful pastas, and great wines! This is the 2nd year we tried this place. The staff are still very attentive and friendly, and the pastas and salads are as wonderful as we remember from last year. If you have a performance to catch, make sure you make a reservation, as the word has gone out, and the place is packed. 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 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.

The food and the service is exceptional. The outside tables overlooking the stream below is a fabulous extra treat while enjoying our meal.

The rooftop terrace overlooking the creek in Ashland is inviting. Servers are well informed about what's on the menu. Definitely fresh, not your run-of-the-mill offerings. It's been a year or so since we've eaten there, but will be back very soon! read more

Fantastic Italian food expensive but worth it Freshly made pasta loved their lasagna and it is also the best beef tartar I've ever had read more

Very nice restaurant in Ashland. Great place to celebrate a special occasion. Great food and very professional staff.

Third visit to our favorite restaurant in Ashland. All of their noodles are made from scratch and delicious. I had the gnocchi with melted gorgonzola, which I have ordered twice and always enjoy. My wife got spaghetti with shrimp and scallops (held the clams). Desert was the flourless chocolate cake for desert. Everything was delicious and service was attentive and quick. We will be back on our next visit. read more

This place just blew me away! Everything was so outstanding! ambience, food, wait-staff. I live in the valley and this may well become my favorite restaurant! Had real foodies w me from Silicon Valley and they too were tres impressed. read more

Dinner was absolutely fantastic. The perfect place to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. Daniel and his team knocked it out of the park. All the food was extremely delicious and the drinks were perfect. I would highly recommend anybody even passing through Ashland to stop by this place if they can. It was amazing to see all of the celebrity photos that had visited as well. The whole place felt like someone's living room with nothing but love and passion outpouring everywhere. read more

This is our go-to restaurant in Ashland. We have eaten here upwards of 15 times and it's always exceptional. The food, service, mocktails, wine, ambiance. All exceptional! We are so lucky to have authentic Italian food right here in our backyard. Some of our favorites are the lasagna, gnocchi, artichoke salad, panna cotta for dessert. The food was so good we forgot to take pics! read more

I have been here twice and the food & service were AWESOME both times! On my second visit, I requested my reservation be moved up a half an hour and Taylor was so great in honoring my request and greeting us with a smile when we arrived. We've had the wild boar ragu, burrata with prosciutto, the branzino special, and the insalata verde - everything was spot on and on point. I will return to this restaurant every time I visit Ashland! 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.

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.

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
