“Tried the new Osteria, celebrity Chef restaurant with a group of friends. The space was hip and nice, and it has a big bar area and outdoor seating area. There was live music outdoors when we were there. The presentation and plating of the food was very visually appealing (see pictures). The staff was friendly, but as with most places, they are hiring and needing staff. The meatball appetizer was great, several kinds of ground meat and a tasty sauce and melty cheese and the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp with a good homemade dressing. I would strongly recommend, ordering what this restaurant is known for…Italian food, pasta and pizza. The pasta is housemade and it was al dente, cooked correctly and the dishes had flavorful broths and sauces. The Pasta Alla Boscailoa, sausage, mushroom, Parmesan cream sauce, pasta and basil was especially tasty. I think the Chef on site that night, needs a bit more practice cooking seafood and non-ground meats…so stick with basic Italian pasta, but again, the restaurant just opened, so I give grace. Next to Market District, 11505 Illinois Street, Osteria is a rustically refined eatery by celebrity chef, hospitality developer and TV personality Fabio Viviani (Top Chef). This signature venue offers seasonally inspired dishes, including elevated takes on his favorite comfort foods, as well as local craft drafts and cocktails. Osteria features housemade pastas, Neapolitan-style pizzas, barrel select bourbons, and an extensive wine list.“

“Not the same place as it was a year ago..... ordered bloody Mary's that were see thru. Canceled our food based on the poor quality of drinks. Got to hear and observe the managers little temper tantrum over canceling, though he didn't bother to talk to us to ask why.... classy.“
