Truly lovely experience all around. We were welcomed into this cozy spot by a friendly staff with Kimi taking extra care to make our evening pleasant. Seating is limited with reservations becoming necessary to guarantee a space, but honestly the space is the perfect set up for good conversation.

It is already difficult to get a timely reservation because this kitchen is terrific. They need a bigger dining room. One hopes they find one soon and that when they do, they include the ability to keep the noise level moderate.

L'Osteria is a little neighborhood gem. Consistently excellent food and service have made it a repeated port of call for my family. Everyone has his/her favorites, but I keep returning to the Chicken Milanese. This simple dish is actually surprisingly hard to do, but L'Osteria never disappoints. Highly recommended for either lunch or dinner.
