    We had the most delicious enjoyable Christmas day dinner. Each taste was amazing. We loved the guacamole, the posole with its complex broth, the barbacoa lamb, the caramel banana cake, the bunelo dessert and the special treat of corn pancakes brought to our table. Even the tempura tofu was good. I liked that they didn't ask us to tell them our choices for the second course until we finished the first ones. The pace was very good. Such a nice dinner experience and the fixe prix way of determining it by the cost of the entree was fair and very reasonable compared to other restaurant offerings for fixe prix for Christmas day.

    Our family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner here. Thank you so much Jessica for being so accommodating to our adjustments and welcoming! Jennifer, our server, for table 33 was amazing! She was so attentive, friendly and truly brought the joy and warmth of Christmas to us all. The food was so tasty, from the meatballs, the crab cakes, the lamb chops and dry aged ribeye. The cheesecake was delicious as well. It was all cooked to perfection and presented very well. The bottle of Meiomi paired well with the meats. It was truly a great experience. Thank you so much Jennifer and everyone who contributed to our night. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

    Nice cozy restaurant with nice atmosphere. The food was great and the service too. Just a little loud from boisterous folks at neighboring tables. But still romantic and fun at the same time.

    Osteria is a gem of a restaurant. It has an excellent menu, a wonderful old world ambiance and professional staff. We really appreciated the soft background holiday music that made our table conversation effortless. The salads, pastas and the hazelnut flan were all so enjoyable. Che buono!
