We love everything about restaurants. In particular, we love Italian. We love the food, the wine, the diversity, and the pride that Italians take in hosting a memorable experience. We’ve spent our lives developing restaurants. From a simple deli or a laidback pub to award-winning fine dining, we have worked hard and are proud to present Autostrada Osteria.It’s a place with a simple philosophy. Inspired by the casual osterie of Italy, the focus is on a simple menu where quality ingredients shine, regional wines that represent a place, and a room filled with warmth and bustle.We hope you enjoy what we’ve poured our hearts into.Dustin & Lucais

Among the best family-style Italian food you can find, this restaurant offers exceptional quality and taste, surpassing even most larger, more upscale Italian restaurants in downtown. The service is genuine and friendly, elevating the overall dining experience to a level above 5 stars. We love the fund so much that I returned a week later (even walking w crutches) and both my friends were thoroughly impressed.
