    My party of 4 had our first experience at Sette Osteria for Christmas dinner. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The food was good and drink selection was great. We enjoyed the vibe and would definitely come back.

    My friends and I have been enjoying Christmas dinners at Sette for many years. Today was even better than usual, with good food and generous portions, attentive service, and a nice holiday vibe from start to finish. Prices are a little higher than they used to be, but hey, that's happening everywhere. My friends are eager to go to Sette again ASAP in 2025.

    This place was extraordinary. It was 4 of us. My young adult kids and my husband and myself. We had the fish carpaccio and mussels to start. Both dishes were perfect. My kids were fighting over the mussel sauce in the end!! I had the soup of the day which was butternut squash made with a potato base and no dairy, incredibly flavorful!!! Delicious. Main dishes were pappardelle Alfredo, spaghetti with pancetta, filet mignon and I had the branzino. Everyone loved their food. I couldn’t finish the branzino since it was so much but I must say I order branzino often and this one is the best I have ever had! It was perfectly deboned, with so much skill, I was so impressed. The flavor was insane. A shame we are at a hotel and couldn’t bring the rest back. Service was perfect. Not rushed, very attentive, prompt clean up of plates. We had a female waitress. She was excellent! And the price! We live in Mismi and thought they might have forgotten to add something to the check. It is VERY reasonable. Loved a casual ambiance yet great setting, low background music. What a gem!!!! We loved it!!!

    The food was very good and when my brunch companion pointed out that he asked for a salad with his omelette but was given potatoes, the server quickly brought him a salad to remedy the mistake. The only problem was that there's really nothing to absorb sound so the many customers partaking of the bottomless brunch drinks were speaking and laughing so loudly that my friend and I could barley hear one another even when speaking in elevated tones.

    The food and drinks were sensational. Given the acoustics and energetic diners, the noise level is quite high, so this is a good fit if you want that kind of vibe, but not if you want a quiet dinner.
