Food was excellent. Immediately greeted. Friendly. It is a one man show so be patient. The food is worth the wait. Great date night restaurant.

I went to Osteria for a Valentines date night with my girlfriend.
The wait to be sat down was very short, and the service was pretty good, but it took some time before the food was brought out. They had a special that night which sounded promising. The salad and soup weren’t too bad, and the steak was great. The tiramisu cups were a little disappointing, but still tasted okay. The salad was a decent size but the rest of the portions were rather small.
The overall experience wasn’t too bad, until I received the receipt… $224 for two! Not only that, it was cash only and the only ATM available was out of order, so I had to drive up the road to a nearby gas station to withdraw the cash to pay for it.
In summary, come prepared cash only. The food is good, but don’t expect it to blow you out of the water. The food is the only real selling point.

Overall, I enjoyed everything about my experience at this restaurant, except for the price. To start, the owner and waiter were both exceptionally nice and welcoming. I enjoyed the laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. We got a salad, and our waiter forgot to bring us silverware. When he came back to our table and realized that he had forgotten to bring us our silverware, he apologized repeatedly and brought us some free bread that was very tasty. We did not ask for that, he just did that because he felt bad, and that was very nice of him. The bread was very good. Our food came out quickly, and it was very good. It definitely had an authentic Italian taste. We decided to get a tiramisu for dessert, and it was also very good. As I said in the beginning, everything about our experience here was great, and then I got the bill. The entrees were somewhat-reasonably priced at $30/meal, but the water alone cost $6.25, the small salad cost $17, and the small tiramisu was around $17, although I forget the exact price of it. Everything was very good, but, in my opinion, overpriced - especially the $17 small salad. Our total bill came out to $100.50, a very high price for just two people. Overall, I would only recommend going to this restaurant if you are willing to spend some extra money. The atmosphere is great, the service and hospitality are great, the food is great, the restaurant is very clean, everything is great, however, everything is also very expensive. Keep this in mind.

DO NOT GO HERE!! He was straight up disrespectful to our party. He was yelling at us and calling us scammers and other insults with racist undertones. He told us to go to a gas station and was acting like a baby.

I can't say enough about this restaurant and it's not good. When I have a waiter coming over to rush you when you're eating your salad. Then once your food is served and you only get one meatball when you ask for two. Then he keeps popping his head in next to yours and then saying are you finished yet Is there anything else I can get for you I said I'm not finished yet. Then 5 minutes later he's popping over asking my wife are you ready yet can I take your plate she still had food on it I do not appreciate service like this.

We were promised 2 large plates of pasta that could feed 9 for $130. Not only were we scammed out of our promised portion size and refill if need be, we were then yelled at by the owner for simply trying to talk out the situation. To top it all off the owner then proceeds to comment racist replies to my friends google review of the place🤦♂️. Food was mid too. Do better.

My group of 9 friends arrived at 7pm, very hungry. Before ordering, we were offered a deal by the owner: 2 plates of pasta for $130, with the clear understanding that if we were still hungry after finishing, he would provide us with more food. I specifically confirmed this with the employee before agreeing.
We completely cleared the two plates, and while the food itself was just okay, we requested more food as agreed. At that point, the employee told us the kitchen was closed. When I reminded him of the deal, he backtracked and claimed it was only a “possibility,” which was absolutely not what was promised. My friends and I all heard the original agreement, so this was dishonest.
Despite not honoring their word, they refused to offer any compensation or adjustment for the misleading service. Instead, the owner escalated the situation by yelling at us in front of everyone. One of my friends even had to say, “Stop yelling, this is extremely unprofessional.” Throughout the encounter, we remained calm and respectful, but the treatment we received was unacceptable.
This was not just poor service—it felt like a scam. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

We walked into a hot restaurant with no air conditioning, which was fine at first. What came after was not.
What I assume was the owner came over & immediately started acting odd. He commented on my cleavage to my friend, said he’d cook our meal after finishing his cappuccino & asked if that was okay. We shrugged it off & said sure.
I ordered spaghetti & meatballs with meat sauce. Instead, the pasta came out as shells, though he had asked if that would be okay. The sauce was thin but at least coated the pasta. He only gave me one meatball, after asking if that was “enough.”
Throughout the meal, he kept popping his head beside mine from the booth behind me, completely invading my space. He sat with us the entire time, urging my friend to hurry up & finish her plate. He also launched into a long, bizarre story about himself that sounded fabricated: his age didn’t add up, he claimed his entire family had passed & he said he’d only dated one woman after his wife died. According to him, that relationship “couldn’t work” because she had previously been married to a “Black Puerto Rican.” He admitted this was racist but brushed it off by saying “all Italians are,” adding, “the only thing I like mixed is my cappuccino.”
I’m a white-passing mixed person with a Black mother & he clearly had no idea who he was talking to. He rambled about where he wanted to move next, ignoring us almost entirely. When my friend choked on her food, he didn’t pause, he just kept talking.
At the end, I ordered tiramisu. He asked if my friend liked chocolate & then brought her an unasked-for chocolate mousse along with my dessert, which we assumed was free. While we finished, he kept insulting the neighborhood, calling it full of “inbred white trash.”
I finally cut him off & said we had to go. The bill came to $102, for two dishes, two servings of bread & two small desserts. No cards accepted, of course. His ATM was empty, so we had to go to a gas station to pull out cash. By then, I felt faint from the heat.
The whole experience was uncomfortable, bizarre & way overpriced.
Phenomenal! Drop the microphone turn out the lights, lock the door and wear your seatbelt on the way home!!! This place is out of this world! Go and enjoy
