    My family & I had a delicious dinner last night. The wait staff were very kind & friendly to our grandchildren and the food especially the home made ravioli was superb. The salads were some of the best we have ever had! I highly recommend this restaurant.

    This is my go-to restaurant and today was a perfect example of why! Gorgeous sunshine at the windows. Excellent food and superlative service. My best friend, visiting from Florida, has sodium restrictions and the kitchen provided her food she was interested in eating, with accommodations that allowed her to eat them. The team, including Rickey, Adrian and Violet, were their usual welcoming and helpful selves, and our waiter, Francisco, provided superlative and generous service. He is a gem of a person and server, someone whose dedication, knowledge, and warm enthusiasm, make dining out a truly enjoyable and memorable experience! Three cheers for Osteria and the team!
