Everyone was great. The food was perfect and the atmosphere could not have been better. We really enjoyed our visit.

Once again, wonderful food and service on the delightful patio. Always a superb experience at Osteria D'Assisi.

Our OpenTable reviews are mostly positive.....however our experience at Osteria was a poor one. Massively overpriced, tough veal, disorganized service.... Maybe we were having an off-evening, but there were so many issues that contributed to a poor dining experience.

Food was wonderful. Service was perfect. We look forward to returning soon. The parking is a major plus.

Mary ?!?

Expensive for the food and service!
The wait staff were slow and uninterested. I asked the waiter if the panzanella salad was big enough for my whole meal. He indicated a big salad with his hand and said yes. When our friend ordered pizza, he said they were out and said his boss said pizza is not Italian anyway. They were very slow with everything but only half or two thirds of the tables were filled. The ravioli dish literally had only 4 or 5 and the creme sauce was watery. We will not eat here again.

Myself and 2 others made a reservation looking for a nice “fancy” dinner. We noticed the ac was not working when we first got there and was very hot inside. It took at least 10 minutes to get a drink order in then another 10 minutes to receive. Once we received our drinks we finally talked to our server for the first time to put our food in. 1 appetizer and 3 entrees. Food took at least 50 minutes and had to wave another staff member down for another drink that was not delivered. Appetizer was bruschetta and was 7/10. Entrees finally came and was subpar. We were not checked on once and had to flag down our server for bills.

This is where a lot of the frustration comes. We simply asked for our bills to be split per each person then the appetizer to be split 3 ways. I had to write down what we each had for the server then he disappeared for another 15 or so minutes. He comes back with 2 checks and didn’t bring the change for the bill paid with cash. Our server said neither him nor the bartender knew how to work their system and was very distraught. At the end of the night our bills were wrong. Service was poor. Wait was long. Food was not worth the price.

Go elsewhere!!!!!!!!!

Our favorite for Italian in SF. Had dinner on the patio and everything was perfect. Food delicious and the cocktail and wine list is great. Friendly and professional service. A must if you are in Santa Fe.

We always enjoy the food at Osteria. For this dinner we split a Caesar salad, then an order of carpaccio and the rigatoni pasta. The latter was especially good, with a walnut basil pesto, Sicilian pistachios, green beans, Coppa Piacentina, and calabrian chili. We would give them more stars, but when we requested tap water the waiter brought a bottle of Panna and then charged us $8 for it; and charged us $4 to split our salad rather than the $3 specified on the menu. The noise level depends greatly on where you sit and who is nearby. The small room in which we sat was noisy at 7:00 when we arrived but by the time we finished the one noisy foursome had departed and it was very peaceful! By the way, the creme brûlée was oustanding!

This is second time My lasagna was not good even temperature was very lukewarm . No one of our party if 3 had good entrees. Disappointing since it's such a lovely space. Haven't tried pizza yet maybe that's better. But if they can't make good lasagna..what good is an Italian restaurant?

Nicholas, our waiter on more than one occasion, has been fabulous. He is knowledgeable about the menu, wine pairings, and what is best for the table. He is attentive without hovering. The food is excellent and the atmosphere lovely.

Larry

Truly authentic Italian food, prepared perfectly. Our server was extraordinary and the owner joined us for 20 minutes ! Loved this place and the experience. On par with NY, Philly, Chicago Italian restaurants.

Our waitress informed us that it was her 2nd night but assured us she was a veteran wait person & things would be good. They weren't. We waited an incredible amount of time for our entrees & at one point someone came & asked me what I had ordered. He left & we continued to wait. Then the waitress shows up to tell my daughter that they were out of the dish she ordered. This was very early in the evening - about 6::30 so it's very confusing to be out of an entree that early. What made it worse was the waitress decided to dump on the kitchen staff & the lack of communication blaming it on a language barrier. It was very uncomfortable & she was totally out of line. My daughter reordered & it still took quite some time for the food to arrive. The owner stopped by our table at one point & I purposefully didn't mention our terrible experience so far to see if he would. He didn't. He was totally unaware. At the end the waitress continued to diss the kitchen & only offered to buy us dessert. We declined as we were just ready to get out of there. My daughter knows one of the chefs & he speaks perfect English. The waitress blaming a lack of communication contains no merit.
