- RRobertSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAn outstanding dining experience. The staff is wonderful, conscientious , and very professional. We never felt like the staff hovered over us but were present when needed. Any questions we had about the menu, specials, or general were answered. Never did we feel rushed or pushed to order anything we didn’t want. The cuisine is exceptional and speaks for itself. I will tell everyone I meet to enjoy the dining experience. The ambiance is intimate and makes you feel like you’re dining with your large family. Thank you.More infoBelliniPrice: Expensive• Italian• Center City•4.8
- MMichaelHouston •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSome excellent dishes served to the four of us. The portions are generous and of quality. One appetizer, the fried calamari, was neither crisp nor hot, so we hope they can bring it out of the kitchen quicker. The four main courses including the fish special demonstrated an excellent chef. All of the deserts were Diner quality and need to be reimagined. Cold crème brûlée? We will be back and hope they take the few needed steps to become a designation restaurant.More infoOsteria Ama PhillyPrice: Moderate• Italian• Center City•4.6
