   Went to Osteria for the first time and will definitely be back! Our waitress was lovely and the food was excellent. I recommend the risotto and the caprese.

   Excellent service, food, and value for fine dining experience. Only issue is closeness of tables, and thus, anyone talking a lot and/or too loudly can detract from the experience/ambiance. This was our experience. Other negative: though mentioned in the reservation that it was a birthday, no one acknowledged this with good wishes or anything. We love Osteria and will return again.

   Short and sweet, great service and food and we will absolutely be back! Longer version, service was gracious, prompt and “classy”, if that makes sense, we enjoyed all of the staff that we interacted with. The meatball appetizer was delicious, the endive salad with bleu cheese was exactly what we wanted it to be and our pasta and steak was also fantastic. Get a limoncello along with your desert and you won’t be disappointed. Great place.

   We had a reservation for lunch at 1:00 on a Saturday and the restaurant was packed. In addition to a full dining room they had a huge private party. I was impressed that the food came out in a timely manner and everything was hot and delicious. It was another wonderful meal at Osteria.

   Osteria has always been a favorite place and was good Saturday at lunch, but not up to usual par. Only one server handling a room full of tables. Just seemed like an off day. Perhaps a large party in the main dining room. That said. Lunch was good, and we’ll be back.

   So delicious. I loved the mushroom pesto gnocchi. There's an extensive wine list

   I have been to Osteria numerous times and always been very pleased...until now. I ordered the Seafood Ravioli, as I often do, because I've always loved it. The menu says it has a "lightly spiced sauce." Well, this time it was burning hot. The sauce was so spicy hot that I could not even eat one whole piece of ravioli, even after scraping off the sauce because it was creating a painful burning feeling in my mouth. I told the waiter that it was much, much hotter than I remembered and he didn't seem to care. I didn't (couldn't) eat anymore. Thank goodness, there was a roll left that I could have as my "entree"! I brought the ravioli home for my husband to eat the next day. He adores very spicy food and even he said it was very hot. Not only will I not be returning to Osteria, but I also will tell my friends who like to go there about my horrible experience. It's too bad, because it was one of my favorite restaurants.

    AMAZING, the food is authentic, they make their own pasta. The sauces were incredible, service perfect. We just had appetizers until we surrendered....the wine the owner helped pick was also AMAZING. It was a Sangiovese Reserva 2016. I just wish this restaurant was in CT.
