We are becoming regulars. Francisco is excellent. The pasta was terrific, all three preparations. Bread us just “so-so”... wish you'd serve sourdough.

I've been going to Osteria for about 40 years. Recent changes to the menu have made it even better. Now, ALL the pastas are freshly made! The capellini pomodoro is the best rendition of this dish on the Peninsula, in my opinion. Osteria is one of the few restaurants who still do veal and it is very good. The affogatos are a delicious treat - I would come just for this. And during this visit, our wait person (Violet) for so kind to my friend who is in a wheelchair. We had a wonderful time and will be back soon.

I took my friend to Osteria for his birthday. It was a great experience in all aspects. The waiter was friendly, considerate, and had a great sense of humor. He brought him a special dessert for his birthday.

Outdoors on Saturday had great ambiance on warm evening. Busy evening with dozens of walk-ins which overwhelmed wait staff. We ordered traditional veal dishes which were smoothed with sauce (we requested just a light demi glaze). Good overall presentation of dishes but entrees may have suffered from reheating. Not to sure we will return.

We had a large party reuniting from our time together in Florence (and therefore picky about all things Italian) seated outside, and the food and service (courtesy of Francisco and the rest of the team) could not have been better.

Food was very good but not exceptional. Only complaint was that there was NO ONE at the front desk to welcome guests. We waited several minutes and were finally directed to a table by a waitress. Our reservation was not checked. Later we noticed a couple who came in, waited close to 10 minutes with no one to greet them, then left. We have never experienced this before at a fairly expensive restaurant.

I had not been here since 2019, and this restaurant did not disappoint. The gnocchi with the pesto sauce were excellent. If you want a neighborhood restaurant that serves solid food and has excellent service, go here.

Good food. Great service. Comfortable seating inside near large windows looking out onto the street.

The food was excellent, as was the service. Scampi and calamari steak some of the best we've had in a long time.
Really nice Italian restaurant with a lot of vegetarian options. Chef’s Playground menu is delicious. We had an amazing host, Adrian, took care of us and made our date night enjoyable! Gnocchi and Gazpacho (melone) were amazing! Bruschetta and Panzotti di Zucca was delicious 😋. We ate everything we ordered. Nice Chianti and Cab Sauv! Thank You Osteria & most of all Thank You Adrian!

Had a team dinner there last night. The service was incredibly slow for a party of 7 with not that many customers. It took them a long time between taking orders for appetizers and entree, and the entree took more than 45 minutes or so to service. The chairs were not particularly comfy so my backside really hurt. The food was ok, my coworkers rare steak wasn't rare enough, and my salmon fettuccine was pretty good. The place didn't have enough AC and there were quite a few flies. Not a great experience overall.

Sink was a bit icky
Customer Service: 3.5/5 Very friendly but hard to get their attention. Also food lowkey took a long time to get out
Fancy tablecloth restaurant vibes
Food: 2.5/5 Was okay. The bruschetta was disappointing i was hoping for thicker bread and more oil and cheese. The pasta was fair. Gave plenty of cheese and I liked the one in the middle (forgot the name of it). But wasn’t anything particularly good about it
