Find the refined and easy elegance of Venice in the middle of East Midtown in Manhattan.

Osteria Laguna named for the beautiful waterways of the famed Italian city offers a spacious and stylish contrast to the busy workday bustle of 42nd Street. Located steps away from the New York Helmsley, United Nations and the Chrysler Building, this charming northern Italian space is easily accessible to business and tourist crowds alike. Floor to ceiling front doors, antique country tables and a classic 30 foot mahogany bar lend a sense of relaxed refinement to this airy and spacious getaway.

Osteria Laguna’s menu offers contemporary sensibility and flair to the classic tastes of Northern Italy with an emphasis on fresh wholesome foods. From classic to cutting edge, there’s something for every appetite. Perfectly balanced pasta dishes, mouthwatering risotti, or the amazing array of piping hot dishes coming out of the charming brick oven at the center of the restaurant.

    The food was excellent and the staff was very nice but they did get one of our orders wrong and completely forgot about a side that I ordered.

    Everyone in my party really enjoyed their meals with a shoutout to the fish stew which was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and while it did get noisy as the restaurant was pretty full we still had no problem carrying on a conversation. Prices are very fair given the high quality of the food and the generous portion size.
