745 Boston Post Rd, Old Saybrook
745 Osteria offers amazing food and great service, capturing an authentic Italian taste. It is a fabulous place to enjoy familiar but delicious Italian dishes without the need to cook at home. The ristorante features a modern decor with fantastic design and lighting, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a low to medium background music level, making conversation easy. The outdoor dining space is very cool, especially in the summer, adding to the phenomenal atmosphere.
The bar service is prompt with a good selection of wines, such as the delicious CA cab sauv from Jam Cellars, and martinis during happy hour. The pizzas come highly recommended, particularly the Arugula & Prosciutto pizza, which boasts fresh baby arugula, lovely flaked Parmesan, and a divine dough that is freshly made and slightly airy. Other standout dishes include the arancini with basil aioli and the Rigatoni Bolognese, though some guests prefer trying different meals next time.
The dining experience is enhanced by a bustling, yet comfortable environment where diners happily chat and enjoy their meals. The menu offers plenty of vegetarian-friendly options, including appetizers, pastas, and pizzas, like the Beet Salad with Mozzarella. Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert; it's the perfect cherry on top of an exceptional meal. Service is excellent, and the staff is the BEST, making every visit memorable.
