Pricy for lunch ( it seems all Italian is now) but delicious food. I had 2 appetizers for $27; eggplant parm & Trapeze salad. My friend had a beet salad & added shrimp for same cost. Sat outside under umbrella. Inside looked dark and maybe better suited for dinner. Would go back again and have same items.

Dining at Barberio Osteria last night was one of the most satisfying dining experiences I’ve had in years!! When I and my two dining companions tried the amazingly fresh bread and wonderfully unique olive oil that they presented us I knew we were in for an unforgettable dining experience. Their sommelier paired our meals with a fragrant and effervescent medium bodied red wine that was perfect. Their pastas in our dishes were fresh and wonderfully textured. I had the Malloreddus while my friends ordered the Pappardelle and Cappelletti. The Papparelle in particular was OUTSTANDING, and I’ll order it on my next visit! We finished our meals with a Meyer Lemon sorbetto and dessert that isn’t currently on the online menu. But the featured hazelnut sauce will stick with me for a long time. The bottom line is this dining experience was so pitch perfect from beginning to end that a day later I am compelled to write this review. I will bring other friends to this restaurant so that they too can have the joy of experiencing it.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Bridges, and enjoyed a very nice brunch. The salmon salad and the Benedict were both delicious!

I took some neighbors to celebrate our friendship. It was great all the way around (except it got a little loud, but not unexpected). We’ll go back. The Branziano was fabulous. We all had it and all agreed.

We had an exquisite Easter lunch at Osteria, our favorite place to visit while in the Palo Alto area! Wonderful service, excellent flavors, and an all around delightful experience from start to finish. There’s several good reasons why this restaurant has been going strong since 1986. Try it, and you will NOT be disappointed!
