Had dinner plans with friends and I was excited about trying this restaurant. I found the menu to be somewhat limited. Mostly pasta but luckily they had one fish option. Our service started out good but turned awful - which made it a REALLY long dinner. The server just wasn't coming back to our table to check on us. We were sitting with empty glasses. She was also working the bar area, which was strange. It took a long time for our food to come. The food was pretty good. However, based on the service and time it took to get our food I wouldn't rush back.

Not that impressed with the food. Caesar salad was good. Happy hour drink specials are a great deal. Pork dish was good...mashed potatoes were great. Short rib risotto was not great. Risotto was watery and not very flavorful. Short rib was also not that good. And a little parsley goes a long way. My risotto was green...full of parsley. Service was outstanding and I really like the vibe there. Will give it another shot...maybe it was just an off night.

Our dinner was a mixed bag. The food quality was good, tho a bit salty. Portions were generous and I had plenty to take home. Dinner took 90 minutes although they had several empty tables. It's generally quiet other than the busboy throwing dirty dishes into bins. That was unusually loud. The ambiance was a bit disappointing, guess I was hoping for slightly more upscale. The shrimp scampi was flavorful but the arancini had almost no meat inside. We liked our main courses well enough.

The food is bomb and Alexa can make some seriously good drinks! It’s hard to find a place that makes good sazaracs south of New Orleans and this is doesn’t disappoint!

My wife and I cannot express the pleasure of our experience enough. We have reviewed Osteria before. We enjoy sitting at the bar. Every team member treats you with enthusiasm, warmth and respect. From the moment you walk in each of their team greets you. The food is exceptional. Now with a fully equipped bar all drinks are available. They have a generous happy hour and trust us, people who dine out often, you will agree with our opinion.

I thoroughly enjoyed the " Sunday Dinner." It was as if my South Philly, Italian mother-in-law was in the kitchen. So authentic, so delicious, so looking forward to my next visit.

We went to this small Italian Resturant off Osprey in the seaside village area. It seats about 30 people so call for reservations! The 4 of us were blown away with food! 4 different dishes and all were excellent! Portions are huge so we were glad we didn't order salads or appetizers but they look delicious also. We all ordered wine by the glass, fairly priced and great taste to them as Well. We will go back before we leave for home on April 1. Nice place, nice people, nice area! You will not be disappointed!

Great food , shortage of staff so ordered at bar but Marina was fabulous and then accommodating. Food more than makes up for this. Our group said some of best food they have had here and good value!

Done at Osteria introduced friends to this neighborhood treasure. Restaurant was quite busy. My husband and I started with Aranicini which were delicious. I had a seafood fra diavolo which was fabulous. It had mussels and shrimp. And on top fried calamari. I highly recommend this dish. My husband had a pork dish he loved with panko spinach and mashed potatoes. Our friends also enjoyed it immensely. Nice staff very attentive. Will be back soon
We are frequent diners and we can say unequivocally this was one of the best experiences we've had recently. From the moment we walked in to a very nice greeting until we paid the bill the server, the food, the entire staff attitude was outstanding. My wife had Yellow Tail and I had Chicken Parmesan. We strongly recommend that you add Osteria to your list and we will add it to our frequent list.

Food was good but service was poor; understaffed. Had a reservation and still waited 25 min to be seated. No one checked in on us after our food came to see if we needed anything (like water!). Wasn't going to post a review, but since you asked...

The staff were all nice and friendly, they made a table for 6 of us outside as inside the tables were all full on Friday night. They don’t have kids menu, but they are flexible enough to cook our kid a cheese pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese. Their calamari was delicious, so are arancini. The sauce for short rib was bit salty for me but the rib was tender.

Quick pre-concert dinner that as luck would have it, fell during Happy Hour. Service was terrific and friendly, and our timing needs were noted and met. The food was quite good, as it always is. Tried the Meatball salad, which was nice, and all others enjoyed their meals. A pleasant neighborhood place that does not disappoint!

Heavenly! We loved the food, the wine, the dessert and the service. It was like being back in Italy, except for the language lol. Seriously, what a gem!
