Mediocre food: tomato sauce for the gnocchi was incredibly acidic and was pre-made canned tomatoes resembling the flavour of campbells $1 tomato soup. Prices: a bit ridiculous considering the quality of the food.

Can’t speak to the food, the place looked amazing but they will turn you away unless you make a reservation. I went in with my wife on what seemed a slow early dinner and we were told that without a reservation they could not accommodate us. No possible wait time, no maybe is only two people we could turn a table as soon a a patron leaves. Or maybe you can enjoy an appetizer and take your entree to go. Nope just some bs excuse about reservations and us not having time to “enjoy the food”, almost felt like we were not wanted or we were an annoyance. No “welcome” just a terse what can i help you with? Seriously if you book the whole place ahead whats the point of having walk ins. Will probably not come back because they did not made me feel welcomed.

Extremely yummy! I got the gnocchi and it was fabulous! The app with focaccia, tomato’s, lemon ricotta, arugula, and balsamic glaze was WOW! The wine selections were great too! We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Great service too! Perfect for a celebration!

The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent! Our waitress Amelia and the host Jonathan made our experience very pleasant, they were very accommodating. The atmosphere was very cozy. We had a view to the open kitchen, which was so cool. This was the best Italian food I’ve ever had. I had the fettuccine alfredo with veggies and shrimp. My husband had the chicken Parmesan. We ended with the tiramisu. We will be back!

Osteria Rago, a charming Italian restaurant located downtown in Bloomington, offers authentic Italian cuisine in a relaxed and comfortable setting. The food and service were both exceptional! We highly recommend Osteria Rago and eagerly anticipate our return.
Great food, Wine Wednesday was a good surprise. Clara R made the evening. She was upbeat and friendly and perfectly attentive.

I found this little Italian restaurant by accident and what great find it was!! The firewood pizza was extremely delicious! The ingredients were so fresh. The pizza had a great firewood flavor in the lightly baked cheese crust. It’s what an Italian savory pizza should always taste like! If you’re a fan of charcuterie boards they have 50% discounts on Tuesdays on their full and half sized boards. Their charcuterie boards have a beautiful tasty selection of meats, cheeses and special dipping spices. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is on the small intimate side and a little dated but definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. #GreatFind

Quaint restaurant hidden in an alley. Their pasta is awesome. They even make homemade mozzarella.
