Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience.
We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible.
The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

I noted my birthday in the reservation and stated that was excited to celebrate at Osteria, but unfortunately, it went completely unacknowledged. The staff didn’t ask about the occasion or even wish me a happy birthday. Additionally, any questions about the meal were directed to my husband, reflecting their gender bias. The food was good, and the ambiance was decent (though the music got too loud toward the end), but the service left me disappointed. I expected a more welcoming experience for a special occasion and won’t be returning.
