Mediocre food. Lasagna decent but portions small. Don't order beans and poached eggs, no good at all. Service was okay - too many people trying to clear out the table before we were done. Would not recommend.

I ended up going on a night with fixed price New Year's Eve. They didn't have the full menu. It would be nice for this platform to have warned me that that was the case.

Focaccia was amazing as was calamari. They accommodated the 6 y/o in our party with chicken tenders and match stick fries which were not on the menu. All the pasta dishes were delicious. The restaurant was small and cozy and service was excellent. We loved Fossetta!

Came in on a busy Saturday night but they were able to give us bar seating which wasn’t a problem, they have a very nice kitchen layout which you can clearly look into while you enjoy your food. We got an olive oil and sea salt focaccia which was possibly the highlight of the meal, very tasty and not too overpowering. The picture is of our entrees which was their lasagna and a pork milanese. Lasagna was great, but the milanese was a little on the saltier side, although still very good. This is a nice spot for a dinner and pretty well located to several nearby bars for after your meal, if that’s your thing. Could see myself coming back in the future

Vegan friendly. The Focaccia bread is sinfully delightful! Seriously. You've tasted no other freshly baked, warmed focaccia bread like what they serve up at Fossetta. "If" you can get pass the guilty indulgence of the bread (we ordered 2), you'll be wonderlfully pleased at the quality, taste, and seasoning of the main entrees. I ordered the linguine with sardines and duarade fish with broccolini. My fiance loved the calamari and enjoyed the drinks tremendously! Shout-out to servers Syd and Margaret. The bartender (blanking on his name right now) gets love too! A definite must dine.

Outstanding. Focaccia is amazing and we loved the lasagna. When you go to the Katz line and it's ludicrous, do yourself a favor and walk around the corner for some outstanding dining! Wine, beer and coffee as well!

As always the food was delicious and the service was above and beyond. Only thing I have a small complaint about was the dessert. We usually have lunch or dinner and have never ordered dessert, this time we decided to try something. We got the cheesecake, and we were disappointed! It was grainy and kinda bland. The portion was a bit big! Which really is not a complaint! Just thought it was going to be a small portion just like the plates for the food. Either way this place is amazing!

Went for happy hour, it was empty but gave us the worst seat next to the bathroom lol and the waiter took a while to get to us whenever we needed anything - food was yummy though and drinks were good so who cares lol

Fantastic Italian place; great service, even better food and drink. You should probably try the Rigatoni and chicken liver, I promise it makes more sense than you can possibly imagine

Had the pancakes for breakfast. Were nice but not great. Maybe it is my taste, but for me pancakes should be fluffy, these were a bit crunchy. Felt more like a cake than a pancake

Always treated well with tasty food.. especially the focaccia, crushed eggplant and the yummy arugula/fennel salad. Had an expresso martini!!! delish. Lovely friendly helpful staff. Love sitting in the open window area...watching the street life go by.

I celebrated my birthday here and worked with the manager Josh on a custom family style menu for our large party. Not only was he so accommodating toward our dietary restrictions and budget, as well as customizing the dishes so that they met our needs, but he went above and beyond in making the night so special by printing custom menus for us and waiving our cake fee, to name a few gestures. The service itself was so good—everyone was so kind and helpful. The food was delicious (the fluke carpaccio and the labneh and focaccia were fan favorites) and every plate was wiped clean. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so cute and cozy, which is exactly what I was looking for when planning my birthday dinner. Overall, I don't think I've ever had as good of a group dining experience as I did at Fossetta. I cannot recommend it enough, especially for special events, and I will surely be back—I need to try that brunch menu!

Had the weirdest experience yesterday. I arrived around 6:15 with a friend for a quick drink. We stood at the entrance for quite awhile, noticing several staff members making eye contact but not approaching. It was not busy, only about 4 tables in the place. After a few minutes of us laughing about why no one would greet us, a man came over clearly exasperated and just looked at me. I then said “… there are two of us, can we sit for a drink?” He said “do you have a reservation?” And we said no so he walked away to, I assume, check on the reservations for the night. Eventually we just decided to leave.

If they were booked up for dinner, we would have happily sat at the bar, but the lack of communication and the disdain we felt from the entire staff made us not want to stay.

I’m honestly so curious why that happened, but it was so disappointing because it looked like a really nice place.
