Lovely quaint cozy little place. The food was excellent. I had the salmon and a side of mushrooms. Both were delicious! My husband had the ragu and said it was “solid”. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We had a great time. Thank you!
Excellent, attentive and kind service, from the moment of arrival and throughout the delicious meal.
Excellent food, service, and small authentic Italian restaurant ambiance. A bit noisy when full to capacity but all the goodness overshadowed that concern. Panama Cotta dessert a must. Beet salad was really great. All entrees loved by my group.

L'Osteria is a cozy and welcoming restaurant that serves simple, authentic, and delicious Italian cuisine made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. The menu features a variety of mouthwatering dishes, including the popular tiramisu and tart desserts. This little gem is located at 82nd and Lexington with only 12 tables, providing a charming atmosphere. Guests can expect superb service, making them feel at home. Although the small space can feel a bit crowded at times, the exceptional food and hospitality make up for it. The portions are not too big, leaving room to sample the wonderful apps and desserts, with the panna cotta often highlighted as outstanding. The staff is kind and attentive, striving to ensure a great dining experience, and the noise level is minimal, allowing for easy conversation. The wine is reasonably priced, making L'Osteria a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful Italian meal, especially in the upper east side area. Its close proximity to The Met and the Guggenheim makes it a convenient choice for visitors, especially now that the dining room at the Metropolitan Museum is closed. This restaurant is a great option for lunch or dinner, and many agree that they will return on their next trip to New York.
