So nice!!! Great service! Would definitely go back!!
Excellent Service and food
The restaurant was great! The reservation was easy to make restaurant easy to find. The owner was friendly and allowed me to practice my limited Italian on him. The food was fantastic and there was no rush on us to proceed from course to course. The restaurant was set up sparsely due to Covid, however the decor and ambiance was perfect! We will most certainly be back! I recommend this place for a quite evening as a couple. Best meal since Venice!
Excellent dinning experience .Great food and great value and awesome service . Definitely will come back
This was our first time. We ordered the veal parmesan. It was very good. However,
the service was disappointing. Our waiter was more interested in serving the regulars.
Back and forth chatting and serving extras like lemoncello. We weren't even asked if
we wanted coffee or dessert. We would not eat here again. Underwhelming!
Our experience at Osteria was amazing. From the ambience, the wonderful dinner and most importantly the impeccable service we received from Michele. He made us feel at home and like family which made our anniversary dinner a memorable one.
Wonderful food, great service. What more can you ask for? Great place to celebrate my birthday.
Nice Anniversary lunch outside table. Good distancing of tables. Food was high quality - tartare had large portion, well presented but could have been a bit more flavorful. Veal, tortillini and tirimisu was excellent. Service great, friendly and quick.
First time at osteria since the owners of osteria di mecci retired . Smaller cozy space . Great food. Our waiter seemed to be and owner as well. He was proud of his establishment and rightfully so
We will return . It may be a go to place now that buon giorno has closed
Well done Michele
We had a wonderful time here. The food was delicious, the service was OUTSTANDING. Couldn't say a negative thing if I tried.
Wonderful experience. Recommend highly
Always a fantastic experience. Food is great, service second to no one.
This is probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to! The music, service, food, drinks and overall experience was incredible. I loved it so much that I asked if they were hiring! Highly recommended. And a special thank you to the owner Michele for being so wonderful to my boyfriend and I!
Beautiful night for our wedding anniversary. The owner(Michael) greeted us at the door and waited on us with outstanding service. We tried the chef’s 3 course dinner (Michel’s choice) ; it was fantastic. We started with a fabulous Italian charcuterie board, followed by an incredible entree of lamb, Risotto & pasta. With a small sampling of mussels. Every bite was absolutely delicious. We ended our evening with the perfect tiramisu (which I normally don’t like - LOVED THIS ONE) & key lime cheesecake. We can’t wait to return. Thank you. 💕🍷
During this time of re-opening of restaurants, we appreciated all the efforts made by Osteria to ensure social distancing while offering a high quality dining experience. My spouse keeps on raving about the meal.
Easy to park and great service. The food was amazing especially the shrimp appetizer
The owner was present and in fact served our meal. An incredibly attentive individual who provided great service, takes great pride in his establishment, and is just a very fine person. I will go back if for no other reason than I want to ensure his restaurant thrives - he deserves it.
Amazing dinner and our waiter was great! Highly recommend!!
Awesome! Kid friendly!
The entire experience was phenomenal! The doors were held open upon entering and then the experience just got better and better complimented by some fabulous food!
Would recommend it!
We had an excellent anniversary dinner at Osteria. The food was delicious. We split the mussels to start and had gnocchi (to die for!) and the Osteria veal. Michele and the staff provided incredible service and the meal was very reasonably priced. We will be back!
This was my second visit to Osteria and was not disappointed. The service and attentiveness of Michele is outstanding. The food was excellent. Michele reserved a parking spot for us in front of the restaurant which was great given the frigid temperatures of that day! I will certainly be coming back.
Celebrated my mother’s 92nd birthday and it was very memorable. Its wheelchair accessible and we were able to get parking right in front, which is at a premium in Kensington. We were well taken care of from beginning to end. A number of us had the Vitello Osteria and it was divine. The veal was tender, scallops flavorful and sauce so creamy and delicious. Order it. One in our group preferred a pasta with a white wine sauce, no problem. She was very happy. The experience couldn’t have been better and we were both full and grateful.
We had an excellent dining experience.
The service was fantastic, the food was fresh, hot and amazing. We didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family or anyone who would like good Italian food.
