*Call for reservations*Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience. We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible. The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

Beautiful ambience with Great drinks and a nice menu. The waiter had appetizers, pastas,fish,steak specials all memorized and one sounded better than the others. Amazingly good meal cannot wait to go back. Nice wine menu as well. Desserts a must also. Note they do add on 3.5 for credit cards which adds up at the prices here so luckily I had plenty of cash.
