The food was amazing, highly recommend the broccolini….. just wow… The server was very knowledgeable in all the dishes and made some great recommendations. The food was very fast, I did wish they spaced it out a bit more. As we got to dessert and still had our glass of wine to finish. The atmosphere was also very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend, overall great experience and great food.

Food was delicious, authentic Italian. There was a slight mix up with our order and they comped our salad, appetizer and sent us a free dessert. The owner came to the table to apologize and was so kind. We will be back!

We visited Osh for the first time on the recommendation of friends. What a great find! We were blown away by the deliciousness of the food and the attentiveness of our server. As he said, the lamb chops are some of the best in town. Everything we had was so good. And the quantity was so generous. Check out this place on Thompson Lane ASAP, you won’t be disappointed! The parking is easy and the value can’t be beat.
