We went out for a rare date night on a cold Tuesday in January. We nearly had the place to ourselves and the staff were so delighted to have us there. The food was amazing and they gave us some extras on the house.

First time trying this restaurant. We enjoyed our experience. Staff was wonderful,ambiance is great, drinks well made and food good with an exception. I would not recommend the salmon tartar. That said when asked about everything and pointing out exception the restaurant seemed concerned and asked for specific reason. After explaining he thanked for feedback and offered that he will speak chef. I think this indicates the interest they have in providing satisfaction and correcting any issue that falls short. I think this restaurant would fall into " neighborhood gem" category. Definitely would return for another visit.

A late fall afternoon, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch here. A unique (at least to me) fusion of French and Italian cuisine, we found the food delicious, some 'greatest hits' (e.g., french onion soup), masterfully executed, with mostly innovative creations. The service was attentive, without hovering--the hostess made sure we were happy. A cozy ambience of dark wood, we lingered in the cozy ambience without being rushed.

I recommend this restaurant! Service was amazing appetizers came out fast and we're delicious. I had the filet mignon it was better than I expected very flavorful. The ambiance was also great so beautiful and not too dark and it was quiet. I lived my dinner.

Amazing every time. 10/10 recommend. Delicious food and the staff could not be friendlier. Hidden gem for sure.

Reasonable pricing for neighborhood, but still seemed expensive. Lack of kids menu was a frustration.

This was an unplanned surprise, to the upside. We stopped by the unassuming front and the darker interior enveloped us with warmth and intimacy. Smart use of space that doesn't feel cramped. Service was attentive but the food was the best part - inventive way to cook many dishes in skillet with a delightful twist. Pasta was excellent and the brussel sprouts hash dish is going to be my go-to in the future.

We had a lovely dinner last night. We sat in a quiet back room that we'd perfect. The food was delicious and there was so much I had to take some home. I will return here.

Another excellent dinner at Osteria Nando. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, diverse menu choices for our group (which included some challenging eaters). We will be back.

This was a great experience for my staff. Everyone had a great time and we were so pleased with the menu variety. Everything was DELICIOUS.

We had a wonderful time here, the food is spectacular, and the service even better— the only thing is that the restaurant itself was a bit cramped making it a bit hard to navigate with winter coats, probably not very suitable if you happen to have a lot of stuff with you, but that's really just a minor inconvenience, overall it was great

Used to love this place. I don't enjoy giving a bad review. These people work hard and it is a tough business. Yesterday, we received poor service. Waitress was very nice but could not get my girlfriend's order right. Took a very long time just to get my first beer and a very long time to get our food but it was a Friday night. When our food came, my girlfriend's salmon was undercooked and had to be sent back. We then received a plate of food neither of us asked for - twice. We then started to complain and asked for a manager. One would think there would be some concern and effort on the part of the restaurant at this point. Not so. We waited a long time and ultimately left without my girlfriend receiving her food. Seems management knowingly chose to have an insufficient number of staff to save money but they will not be receiving any of my money in the future.

We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, which made me feel comfortable bringing my 5 year old. Her meal came out quickly, which made us both happy. The staff were wonderful. The adults all enjoyed their meals. The food was delicious and the desserts were even better.
