The restaurant was fabulous. It wasn't as crowded as it was, the last time we went there. The service was a little sketchy. They took good care of us. We didn't want for anything. It was better the last time we were there. They sang Happy Birthday to Bob. That was very nice of them. I had a very nice time!

I haven’t been to a OSF in years and this one hit the spot on every note! The only thing missing here was a real trolley car in the restaurant (there is a painting!)
Tanner was my server and he was excellent, great service, friendly, and helpful!
I ordered the managers special with half mizithera half mushroom sauce… chefs kiss! I also enjoyed the house salad with creamy pesto and the sourdough bread with garlic butter is amazing!!!
The great thing about OSF is the multiple courses, I finished off the meal with a small scoop of spumoni ice cream.

We had a catered event inside the restaurant and were given a choice of three entrée dishes. I chose the lasagna and it was very good. The dinner salad was okay, but it could have used a bit more dressing. The dinner bread was a bit too crusty on the outside, but it was soft on the inside. The dessert was delicious. The service was excellent. I would dine here again and would recommend this place for others to try.
Vegetarian options: They have no meat options.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator big enough for a wheelchair.

I had the shrimp Alfredo. It wasn't hot when the waiter brought it to the table. Drinks, a dirty martini & a bourbon took over 20 mins to receive once ordered. Disappointed with this visit.

This place? Amazing. My friend has severe food allergies and they took it incredibly thoughtfully, bringing him out ingredient lists and everything. Another friends food came out late and they automatically comped it. Not to mention the delicious food!

The food was tasty and inexpensive the cotton candy limeade was delicious and my gf took pictures with it because the color was so nice. The atmosphere was warm and spacious. the hostess was friendly and sat us in a large booth. The only reason I’m not putting 5 stars is our server was not very professional but other than that was a fun little dinner spot. We will be coming again.

Great place for some Italian food. Everything was delicious! Classic/old-world dishes and a family friendly atmosphere, but don't expect it to be an in-and-out dinner or a quick bite if you have squirmy kids. Good selection of local beer and my table enjoyed the wine selection. Spumoni ice cream finish to the meal was killer.

Great food, fun service. You get ice cream with every entree which is nice when you have a family. We had a 15 minute wait during comic con, which was amazingly fast. Food came quickly and with no errors.
Update in October 2024: this restaurant continues to be a solid choice. Their mizithra pasta is as good as it's always been and they've added some fun cocktails.
Vegetarian options: You can get basically all the pasta veggie safe, and there are several nice standard vegetarian dishes.
Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom is upstairs but there is an elevator!

My Friend told me of this place to have for dinner, and oh my goodness the food was so delicious~♡♡♡♡♡
The waitress was so nice and helpful and even the chefs have a great sense of humor. XD
I would definitely recommend trying the place out yourself and next year I'll be back to dine here again~
