I wouldn't know where to begin... This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the Tampa Bay Area. From the quality of their meals, to the hospitality of their staff, you are instantly immersed into the environment, culture and love that Osteria, Mole’, Franklin Manor and entire Nocturnal Hospitality Group delivers, that you put this as the top places to go frequently! Head there now and let them know CORA sent ya ????

In my travels it has become exceedingly rare to find excellent food that would live up to the standards of my Italian grandmother. I can’t think of another example of fine dining that offers such a diverse menu full of authentic Italian cuisine we all know and love. Somehow Osteria manages to invent new modern twists on some old favorites (I’m looking at you Kobe Meatball). The fun and friendly staff work tirelessly to provide you with a fine dining experience that is some of the best in the city. It is undeniably that this phenomenal atmosphere and fantastic craft cocktail menu has led to a highly coveted happy hour environment for some of the most influential members of the Tampa area. This rare combination of excellent service and delicious authentic cuisine is why I continue to dine at Osteria weekly.

Food is delicious. Usually not a fan of seafood, but their braised spanish octopus is a game changer! Highly recommended!

I tried this place late night so they were offering a limited menu. Hubby and I tried the pizza, nothing special. I thought it was underdone and very floppy. Flavor was ok but not worth the money.

What an AWESOME restaurant! I have heard others talk about how great this restaurant is and am so happy I decided to check it out for myself! With all that is happening in the US right now, I was delighted to find that they have expanded their restaurant to better serve their community by offering takeout. The whole experience was so easy, from the order to the pickup, I felt like I was in great hands. Everyone I encountered was so polite and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. Tye was working the register and Greg was busy making Pizza. They both were very friendly, and greeted me with a smile when I walked in. If you are looking for a smooth, easy, delightful, take out food experience, please consider checking out the Osteria Bar and Kitchen. You can thank me later :)

My wife and I went to Osteria on Valentine's Day. One of the busiest days we could have ever chosen. There was so much activity there it was unbelievable. There were tables outside to help handle the overflow of reservations that had come in. Seeing the crowd there we anticipated a long wait for the kitchen to prepare our dinner. The dinner came out quicker than expected and was delicious. The manager, Selena, came by our table several times to check on us as she made her rounds through the restaurant.

Great experience every time I’m in town and go here. Staff is exceptional, especially a young man named Tye. Makes for such an enjoyable time every time. That’s besides how yummy the food is! And now we find out how they are working hard to make sure the community is being taken care of during this time of crisis. Really top notch and I look forward to going back there soon.
The rigatoni in a jar was such a fun twist on the dish! But the kobe meatball was to. die. for. The wine list was pretty good, generally on the moderately priced side, but I wish they had my favorite Cakebread in red - they only carried it in white at the time. The staff was lovely! The music was a tad loud when we visited but we could still hear our voices without straining, it was also a Friday night, so we were not bothered.
