We had the best time at Osteria. Our waitress was very professional and attentive. The lobster bisque was delicious, and so were the scallops. The tiramisu was the perfect end to the evening. We'll definitely be coming back.

I’m so glad I chose this restaurant for my mom‘s 80th birthday! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The online pictures of the restaurant itself on the inside, did not do it justice. Loved the ambience. Dress was from very casual to semi formal, as we went at Christmas time and there were a lot of corporate Christmas parties. It was a beautiful setting with a lovely Christmas tree that everyone wanted to take pictures in front of. I highly recommend!
