My entree came out, 25+ minutes later we were still waiting on my husband's dinner. No one stopped by or acknowledged the mistake. Finally we flagged down someone who looked like a manager who did not apologize, just said it would "be out soon." Entree came out about ten minutes later, we had no utensils and still the server was avoiding us. Finally they dropped the check - never even asked how everything was. A completely unacceptable experience. We've both worked in food service and fully understand mistakes happen. However, there is a way to own them and make it right which Teca absolutely failed to do and it speaks to the character of how they are running their business. Will never return.

So, I've been here twice in one week, and I'll actually be here again this week. My first…read moreexperience was a 3 pm booking on a Saturday, a light and quieter ambiance. And the food was delicious! They filled up fast after 4.30, so I do recommend reservations. Last night my reservation were for 6.30 pm. They were PACKED, so we didn't get seated til 7. Even tho there was a table available on the lower level. No biggie, up top is better. 7.10 I asked for water, and to have my wine opened, which we eventually opened because we actually had a cork screw :) and we eventually got water, they were definitely run off their feet not equipped for the seatings they had. Ho hum. The acoustics when crowded make conversations difficult, and to hear the specials, ( which were the same as a week ago) I had to ask our lovely waitress to come closer. All of these things are not complaints, just info on my experiences. The entrees are incredible, great portions and HOT! The starters, were not so hot temp wise, two of the items ordered, Arancini and the famous crab bites. However, if you look at customer pics, menu pics, there are FIVE balls, we were served THREE! That was disappointing, let me add, even tho it's a BYOB, the menu price points are $$$! Which brings me to desert, yip we did the full monty ... my creme bruelee, ( A favorite) was teeny tiny, served in the tiniest of dish, not like the photos at all and way DRY and Stodgey and the pistachio Ricotta cake was a sliver not much thicker than my thumb. And EXPENSIVE $25 for both! My one guest asked for a scoop of ice-cream of Gelato, our server in this Italian restaurant said, sorry, we don't serve anything frozen. Hmmm look at the pics of the menu! Sadly I didn't ake pictures of the deserts, but take my word! I did take entree pics, but I only have the one to share without people in them. So I'll post that one. After all that, Do I recommend OA, Yes! So, if you go, please go with my review in mind, truth be told, order mindfully, and skip desert! The staff kicks you know what! PS the gorgonzolla gnocchi is out of this world, add protein for an extra bang, and buck.;)

My parents come here periodically, and I'd been trying to join them on one of my visits back home,…read morebut on a couple occasions we couldn't get reservations, and then the third time, we got one but it turned out they were going to be closed that week for a post New Year's vacation. Fast forward to this latest visit home. I finally secured a reservation...but then late yesterday afternoon my mom's knee started acting up to the point where she could barely stand on it. Fortunately, ice, Advil and rest overnight--and my mom really, really wanting to come here--kept us on track, and tonight I finally made it. It's a cozy spot, and I can see it making an excellent date night, especially since the BYOB setup allows you to bring the wine of your choice (and save some $$). We were seated promptly--this Sunday was relatively mellow--and the servers were super accommodating about removing a chair so that my mom's walker could occupy the unused space on our four-top. The menu is what I call right-sized. It may seem smallish, but there is a strategic assortment of salads and apps, pastas and mains (and, of course, desserts) that is sure to accommodate everyone. Dean, the young man who would go on to do an outstanding job taking care of us for the night (with the other two servers chipping in seamlessly as needed), went through the specials. My mom was particularly intrigued by a squid-ink fettucine with lobster and shrimp (and cherry tomatoes) in a saffron cream sauce. Could we split it as an app, we asked? Would it be too much food? On Dean's advice, we went ahead, while my dad got the mussels. All three of us ordered the pork chop, which my parents have been raving about for a couple years now. How could I not try it? Ordering finished, bread and olive oil (with a bit of balsamic) arrived at the table. Knowing I had a pasta coming and that the pork chop was a good-sized portion, I didn't want to overdo it, which I think was ultimately a good choice. The bread took the edge off, and then the pasta arrived. It was just the right amount for two people to share as an app, and we both enjoyed it, while my dad loved his mussels (and then dunked lots of his bread in it). Then came the main event. The pork chop lived up to (and frankly, exceeded) the hype. It was tender and perfectly cooked and oh-so-flavorful. Definitely one of the best I've ever eaten, and this isn't my first pork-chop rodeo. It was accompanied by asparagus and yummy baby Yukon Gold potatoes; I left a view of the latter, not because they weren't yummy but rather because the pork chop was huge and I was not skipping dessert. For dessert, I went with the house-made cannoli, which was a lovely, sweet (but not oversweet) ending to an excellent meal. I'd be happy to come back to Burrata anytime.

The staff, management, and chefs genuinely go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and taken care of.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and great value. 10/10--highly recommend Ombra!

I discovered Ombra in Havertown after searching Yelp for new restaurants. This spot on Brookline…read moreBlvd. has been several different restaurants over the years, but the light, new decor and open kitchen make the interior fresh and appealing. However, the restaurant is small with only about 12 tables indoors, and it was packed. There are also a few tables on Brookline Blvd although it's right next an ice cream shop with people hanging outside the shop right next to where you're eating. Service was efficient and unobtrusive. We received a bread basket and olive oil to start. The bread was plain and nondescript, not at all herby like I was expecting. Our pear and Gorgonzola salad would have been bland but the Gorgonzola in the poached pear was the star of the show. The salad itself was also small for the price. I ordered the scampi with wild shrimp and crab cake and asked for the spice level to be turned up. Thankfully it was and was delicious and full of flavor. The house-made pasta which was part of the dish was a treat as well. My husband said his Chicken Milanese was just okay and not really exciting. He only ate one piece of the chicken. He did get an extra side of pasta, though, which he enjoyed. I had to order the affogato which did not disappoint. Our server poured the espresso over the vanilla ice cream at our table. Yum! Be advised that they sometimes have limoncello but when I asked, they said they had run out. Also, they're byob which is a great money saver.

I was genuinely impressed by the decor and layout of the building, despite the opulence of the exterior. Their menu is a bit small, but everything on it is done well. My Buccatini Alla Sciciliana was quite good and the portion was large. My husband's short rib pappardelle was amazing! I was jealous and will be ordering it next time. The cocktails were good, though not particularly unique. I had an Italian Lemonade which was made mostly of limincello, and it hit the spot. The ambiance is good so I'm a fan. I don't think you could go wrong here.

The seating is comfortable and clean. On my last visit with a friend for lunch I unfortunately left my purse behind. I called after I left to see if anyone had found it and turned it in. Unfortunately they said they did not have it at the desk. My husband and I decided to take a drive back to see if I could check where I had been. Our server from lunch, Sadie, was there and came over to help me retrace my steps looking for it. The outdoor bar tender, I believe, Emily, also went the extra mile and helped me look for it throughout the restaurant asking fellow staff members. Leaving I was distressed that we could not find it. Fortunately, after I returned to the car my husband received a call from his phone that they had found my purse. Very grateful for the person who turned it in. As you can imagine my phone, wallet, glasses and other items hard to replace were in there. I am very thankful for all the help of the staff and all who helped to return it to me. A BIG thank you to Sadie, Emily and all who went the extra mile to return it to me. With much appreciation for your kindness.

The chicken cutlet sandwiches were excellent, the charcuterie was perfect for a winery setting, and the cheese and fruit tray rounded everything out perfectly. The portions were generous, the quality was excellent, and we had more than enough food for our group without going overboard. DiFabio's made the food portion of the event easy, and I would absolutely use them again for catering. Highly recommended.
