   Dining here for our anniversary, we decided we need to go much more often. This is probably the best Italian food either of us has ever had. We had the grilled octopus with butter beans. The octopus was cooked perfectly, not chewy at all which is a common issue. The star of the dish though was the beans, absolutely delicious. They make their own pasta and the gnocchi I had were like pillowy bites of heaven. Just incredibly, melt in your mouth delicious. The server was knowledgeable and super friendly, the staff seemed to really work well together, and everyone was attentive.

   The staff was excellent from the moment we arrived at the restaurant until the moment we left. The service throughout our dinner was excellent. We never had to ask for water to be refilled, plates to be removed, etc. The food and value were excellent. This restaurant never disappoints and I will continue to frequent this restaurant as much as possible.

   I had the Gorgonzola gnocchi and my husband had the lamb ragu. Both were delicious! Our server was great. Good suggestions and very attentive. We will come back next time we’re in town.

   Although my entree was not exceptional, it was enjoyable as was the focaccia bread served with oil and balsamic vinegar. Two glasses of the house Chianti paired well with my spinach pasta topped with duck in a marinara sauce. The dessert menu offered standard Italian fare: Tiramisu, affogato, and so on. Nothing inspiring or decadent. So I opted for grappa instead. The only thing I found strange was rather than artwork or even the customary Italian interior design found in many Osterias, the walls were plastered with photos of the chef posing with people whom I can only assume are celebrities.

   My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary in Ashland and booked ourselves a reservation based off the stellar reviews. They did not disappoint! We were greeted and wished a happy anniversary by the hostess and waitress and we were served complimentary glasses of Prosecco. The food was phenomenal! Highly highly recommend Osteria.

   We went to Osteria La Briccola to celebrate an anniversary. We were greeted with "Happy Anniversary" and offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco. The food was excellent with the possible exception of the potato leek soup which was very bland and flavorless. All other food was fabulous. The service was impeccable. Thank you Janice!

   Osteria La Briccola is one of our favorite restaurants in Ashland. Always a tradition to eat there with my daughter before I leave town. The food is excellent, and the staff & setting is always lovely. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out.

    Great food and wine. Homemade pasta is excellent. I especially like the boar ragu!
