Giovanni always gets it right, and this Osteria is one of his best! Food from Mola di Bari, Italy and Puglia are very unique and his kitchen has nailed it as far as authentic flavors of the region. From the freshly made focaccia to flavorful seafood dishes and classic Braciole you can't miss with any of the choices. Bravo.

Went there based on a positive recommendation. The staff was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. We ordered fried calamari. It was fresh and good, but the sauce was runny and tasteless, and we ate the calamari plain. We ordered bracciole and ravioli lasagna. We were surprised and disappointed that their entrees do not come with soup or salad. The bracciole was just ok. The ravioli did not taste homemade and there was no cheese on top of the lasagna. I’ve never had lasagna without cheese.The sauce on both dishes was tasteless. It had no seasoning or flavor. Very disappointing. The highlight was the dessert called Walnut Semifreddi (Croccantino). It was excellent. We may try it once more, and have different entrees that do not come with pasta sauce, as well as the fabulous dessert.

Osteria Trulli is an absolute gem! The cuisine is outstanding — every bite is a delight. The carpaccio was incredibly tender, and the Cavatelli Mari Monti was simply amazing, rich with flavor and perfectly cooked. The cozy, charming décor adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dinner. Highly recommend!

A total gem! Amazing Italian food with Pugliese specialty dishes. Cozy, warm decor with distinctive homage to the Puglia region. Friendly service. Reservations recommended on weekends, especially for groups greater than 4.

Waitress was incredibly rude and made us feel uncomfortable. Waitress questioned our order for hopping in for drinks and dessert, was very pushy about ordering more. Every member of my party was uncomfortable. Please avoid at all costs.

Hidden gem in our opinion. First time here and will be back! The sauce is outstanding. Some of the best meatballs I’ve ever had. Adorable setting inside. Friendly staff.

We went there a few days ago and the reason I'm sharing this review is because I'm still getting reminded of how beautiful this place and the food was. Not just that, the people who served us were the kindest and most soft spoken people you could ever meet. I unfortunately forgot their names, it was a middle aged man and a lady.

Now coming to the food and dessert, we had pasta, calzone and a walnut based dessert (I truly forgot the names) it was just amazing, the consistency, spices etc were just perfect. The dessert was out of the world, give it a try and I'm sure you'll thank me later. Overall 5/5 for food, service and atmosphere.

P.s - they serve good wine too

Absolutely delicious! I had the gnocchi with truffle cream sauce and it was extremely yummy. The seafood was also top notch, and the house white wine was delicious. The place is also super cute inside. Great date spot.

This place is small And many even in the area don't even know that it exists. However, give them a try.
The food seemed very authentic and made from scratch. The portions were generous and the food was very delicious. Service was great also and everyone there was welcoming. I would definitely go back. Bread does come for the table. Though I was surprised there was no small side salad with dinner.
Other than that, I highly recommend this place.
