    Nico you changed my mind! I made a reservation for one and was told I could sit at the bar if a seat was available. Best decision ever!!! You get a full experience and the vibe is amazing! The sun was setting and the ambiance was smooth. They have a great selection of drinks and it's a full menu that you could order. I have the braised beef noodle and meatballs with a tiramisu for dessert this time! It hit the spot. I am happy with this experience compared to the last.

    Came here for a date night and was not disappointed. We were able to sit at the bar and order dinner which was nice since they did not have any tables available. We ordered the meatballs, raviolo, and Parmesan fries with some dirty martinis. Everything was delicious and I will definitely be coming back!!

    They are now serving lunch and it is great! My wife and I got the chicken Parmesan sandwich and truffle burger, cut them in half and shared them. Both were very, very good. The truffle burger was super rich so eating half of it was about all each of us could do, but the flavor of it was excellent. Our server, Taylor was super nice and attentive. Can't wait to go back and make it a regular weekend thing for us.

    First visit and decided to dine in due to my sister visiting town. Make a rezi through yelp with ease and chose the dining bar table option.

We ordered drinks right away. -Old fashioned - 10/10 -Limencello drop - 10/10 -Espresso martini - 7/10 a bit sweet -Pinot Noir - 6/10 ok Starters -Arancini 9/10 - crispy + tad spicy so good! -Arugula salad 8/10 - tad salty -Bread 9/10 Entrees Radiatori - 9/10 Rigatoni - 8.5/10 NY steak + potatoes - 8.5/10 Dessert Olive oil cake - 6/10 tres leches like Overall beautiful restaurant and great service. Great for a date night, girls dinner or small family gatherings. Plate servings are great for sharing and prices were $$$.

    Had such a lovely experience at Willow Osteria! The interior is beautifully decorated--warm, inviting, and full of charm. The vibe really sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. We started with a selection of antipasti, and they were absolutely amazing--fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The pastas were also very fresh and tasty, which we appreciated. While they didn't completely blow us away, they were still solid and satisfying dishes that complemented the overall experience well. Service was another highlight--nice, neat, and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely worth a visit!

    Finally made it back to Willow, and wow wow wow! My second visit absolutely blew me out of the water. This experience was even better than the first. Our server was excellent, and sitting in the main dining room was such a treat. I loved the open-kitchen vibe and watching the prosciutto being sliced, the bread grilled, and all the little details happening in real time. Those thoughtful touches truly make the dining experience feel special and elevated. The food was unreal. Every single bite was incredible! Honestly not one miss. The burrata and Prosciutto di Parma are a must. The sweet and spicy chicken was so stinking good and perfectly cooked, moist, and juicy. The truffle fries paired beautifully with it. I even ordered the butterscotch dessert to go and enjoyed every last bite. Noah and his staff are amazing, kind, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. This is a restaurant I'll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend, best Italian food I've had in a long time!

    Celebrated my sister's birthday here at Willow Osteria. We had reservations at 6:45pm and I was seated immediately at a booth. Zero wait , it was great. We did start with some drinks and some appetizers to share. I got the lemoncello drop and it was delicious. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and alcohol ratio was not over the top. It was very pleasant to drink. I also got to try the espresso martini and definitely will get that in the future. For appetizers, we had the truffle fries and 10/10 I would order again. I appreciate a good skinny French fry! It was nicely seasoned and had a really good side dipping sauce. The burrata and prosciutto were beautiful, great for sharing. We had the fett'unta bread that was toasted and had a nice fluff in the middle. I got a bit of that bread, added the prosciutto, burrata, and a bit of the sweet pepper topping and it was a home run. Super good. Everyone ordered pasta all around. The squid ink linguine was my favorite. Noodles were al dente, it had a good sauce to it and a good portion of clams. The ravioli was a single pasta piece with an egg yolk in the middle and cheese. Good execution. I also got to try the rigatoni which was my second favorite, great flavor for that one. For the tagliolini and radiatori, though it was good but tastes like something I have had before. Service was okay, we wished our waitress checked on us a bit more. The gentle who was bussing table offered us more water. The restaurant is beautiful, you have a nice bar area once you enter the establishment. There is seating in the front, middle (mainly booths), and more towards the back near the kitchen. Multi-stall restrooms and it near and tidy. Staff checks to make sure there it's stocked and clean. Overall experience was good, wished the menu was more extensive.

    To go!

    3/20/26 Great reviews! Must try! Glad they are serving lunch! Arrived!! Really nice bar when you walk in with all the tables, chairs and booths past it in another room. . Definitely a classy restaurant! Calm and low key with music playing. Sat at the very nice bar. Greeted. Kind workers. Happy to give recommendations. Asked for an iced tea with Sweet & Lo. The bartender gave many recommendations!! Ended up ordering the Recommended Turkey & Soppressata sandwich with a side salad. Received tea first, with sweet and lo given! GREAT! Refreshing! Small wait and they were busy! Lunch brought shortly later from a kind waitress. Lunchtime!! It's definitely A LOT! 1/2 is plenty! Really DELICIOUS Turkey and Soppresata sandwich. Fresh & Flavorful!! Light. Salad is great too! Fresh & Tasty! Workers are Really Great during. They checked up on me. Once finished, happy to give me a to-go tea and container for leftovers! Another lunch for tomorrow! Paid for if and the worker was happy to give me a bag to-go too! Wished a good day leaving also!! GREAT service, GREAT lunch & GREAT experience!! Highly recommended!

    Arancini

    A beautiful new restaurant by the same owners of Annex and Annesso. My bestie and I went on a Monday night. Our waitress name was Maleah. She was really kind and very attentive to our needs. We had lots of questions about the menu items and she did a great job describing everything. She even gave us few suggestions on food so we went with it. We got pasta called bucatini and tonarelli. They were both white sauce pastas. One was with lemon and the other had a pepper flavor. Both were equally delicious and cooked perfectly. I just wish there was an option to add shrimp or chicken. It would have taken the pasta to the next level. We also both got drinks. I got a limoncello drop and the bestie had an old fashioned. Both drinks were presented beautifully. They were refreshing and kind of strong too. We only had 1 drink and were feeling good. Our appetizer was the arancini it was fried ball of goodness. It was filled with rice, cheeses and a red meat sauce. When cutting it open it had cheese oozing out. A great way to start the meal. It was filling too. We finished our meal off with an olive oil torta. I was a little skeptical about it but another waitress recommended it. The cake looked basic but packed a lot of flavor. It was very delicate and yummy. A perfect ending to an already amazing dinner. If you're looking for a great new pasta spot check them out you will not be disappointed.

    Ceasar salad with grilled chicken

    Brand new place in Clovis! I was skeptical going in and let me say I was wrong. It just looked like a chic place that wouldn't have good tasting food. We made reservations for New Year's Eve and were greeted nicely and sat down right away. Our server Jorge provided great service! The place definitely is chic, minimalist with beautiful accents. They serve your choice of mineral water or regular water upon being seated. It's pricey but you get good food for the price.

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Heidi W.

    Went to willow osteria on their first weekend of lunch openings. The building is absolutely stunning. Inside and out. Gorgeous natural lighting from the beautiful windows. The staff was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful. We didn't have a reservation and were seated right away in a booth on the bar side. We ordered the meatballs to start and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The chicken was so juicy and the breading on it was so light. It was divine. The fries were also perfectly cooked. Crispy hot and full of flavor. I couldn't finish my meal and the fries stayed crispy though the whole rest of the day and our drive home to Hanford. The meatballs were melt in your mouth perfection. As always. We both wanted to try the butterscotch budino, but we were both stuffed. I cannot wait to come back!

    Truffle fries
    Kerstin C.

    The ambiance was chic. The servers were warm, attentive and welcoming. We ordered three appetizers: Arancini, truffle fries, and burrata and prosciutto. They were good. I especially liked the arancini. They added a little spiciness in it and it was tasty. For the main course, we only ordered a squid ink linguini. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. It was $32 but the portion was so small and the clams were fishy. I probably won't come back because of the the price though.

The waiter was super attentive and efficient the entire evening. We went for dinner, so the restaurant was definitely dimly lit, which I think is the atmosphere they're going for. It was a little dark for our taste at first, but we were able to open the blinds. If you enjoy cozy, dim dinner ambiance, this is definitely your kind of place. The menu uses Italian names for many of the dishes, so I wasn't immediately sure what everything was, but once we figured it out, everything we ordered was delicious. The angel hair pasta was simple but absolutely perfect. We also had cheesecake for dessert, and it was fantastic. I also appreciated that they had a kid's menu, plus mini pizza options for kids. My five-year-old only made it through a couple slices because the portions were generous. Definitely come hungry, and don't be surprised if you leave with a doggy bag because the portions are big. Highly recommend!

They ordered two pies, one pepperoni and another called the Andiamo Special. The Andiamo Special is salami, sausage, pepperoni, meatball, mushroom, olives, bell peppers, and onions. It seems like almost too many topping, but the flavor is one point. After my first bite, I needed to double check the box to make sure it was truly from Andiamo's. My past food experiences have not been the best. The flavor combo on this pizza, great. The dough, not so great. The dough was a little undercooked near the center of the pie, but the crust was actually very good. Salty and chewy, just how it should be. No delivery offered here, but if you're looking for a new local pizza spot to try, Andiamo's is worth the money.

Many better pizza places to give your business to. - Not living up to the hype at all. We ordered a BYO pizza which was decent, actually the best part of the order. The rest fell flat. Cesar salad was absolute garbage. I got the larger salad which was around $15 and I was given a sad salad of old romaine that was mostly the white stem. Which, may I add was going bad and not white it was getting that weird orange-pink looking color. We had the truffle knots which tasted hard and stale. It is reminiscent of when you try to microwave certain bread products and the item because chewy and hard. There was minimal butter/oil to coat them and lightly sprinkled with Parmesan. Total fail. With tip it was around $66 for food that wasn't enjoyable. With tons of other options in the pizza category, this one is not on the list. This would also be considered bad service in my opinion because whoever was in charge of the salad gave poor service. I will add a picture to validate my experience.

When I picked up the pizzas, I thought there's no way this will feed two adults and two children. Surprise, we had leftovers! The tortellini was delicious and slightly al dente, which I loved, but I thought it could've used a little more herbaceous spice. My wife and kids loved it; which is very surprising because normally my kids don't like red sauce. The food took about 20-minutes to make and it was still piping hot when I got home. When I originally ordered, the guy at the counter suggested their two large pizzas for with three toppings each for $37. Initially I thought this was pricey, but once I got my bill I realized he was definitely trying to help me out. My order was $55 with tip, but that's expected with small local spots. To be honest, I don't care about the price because I know that every penny spent is supporting not just the biz, but the family that's connected and depends on it. Support local and eat good pizza!

We also had to get up and request basic items ourselves, including condiments for the pizza and even plates, since we did not receive any and our table for two only received one setting. The food continues to be a strong reason to visit, but the service experience could definitely use improvement. I'd still return for the food, but I hope the service is more attentive next time.
