Osteria is normally one of our favorite Italian restaurants. But last Sunday they hosted a large wine tasting in a private room. Consequently service was non-existent for the rest of us and our food was overcooked, namely my wife's chicken picata and my veal marsala. Normally the service is attentive and the food excellent. However we will not return on a wine tasting night.

While the food was great, every detail thought of, the service--from the hostess to the owner greeting and chatting with us was PERFECT! Would highly recommend.

The price doesn’t match the quality of food that was served. The lamb was cold, everything was tiny portions, our server was awkward and and didn’t make us feel welcome, there was a long pause before we even got to order. We appreciate the cooking staff for accommodating our allergies though. Wouldn’t come back though, the owner seemed like a nice man, going around to other tables to chat. Completely looked us over.

Made 6:30p reservation, showed up, sat down, ordered bottled water (water and bread person) Waited, waited, waited. Never saw a waiter, manager even asked another person if we had been waited on. No one, no one, waited, waited. Asked for the check for the bottled water, that never came, someone said Nevermind we will take care of the water. We left. You can guess our experience was not good.
