Osteria

Just OK, special was good and tasted fresh but the chicken dish was bland and not fresh. Wait staff was inconsistent and not very present for a slow Sunday night. Way overpriced for what you get, if we didn't have a gift card we would have asked for a refund. Do NOT recommend. We will not be back.

Big fan of Osteria! Been coming here for years and food is really good and well priced. A little gem tucked away in Evansburg, but much prefer going here then to KoP or Conshy!

Best veal and broccoli rabe I have ever had

Thankfully the food tasted pretty good, my husband said the chicken parm was delicious and the veggies in my pasta dish were very fresh. They have a great menu. We went here after our small wedding at our home (thanks COVID). I had a reservation that I needed to add one guest to that morning and I didn’t really get an answer, the person on the phone just kind of freaked out and told me to call back. We arrived and some of the staff were downright rude about the extra person, the hostess just grabbed a chair to stick at the end of our table like a normal person would, so we appreciated that. Note: it was not crowded inside and the tables are definitely not 6 feet apart anyway. The service was SO SLOW, like a glacial pace. I’m not one to complain, we were with family, all chatting and having a good time, but we were there for an hour before our waitress even took our order. I could have understood the wait for food, a larger party takes a while, but that was just to take our order! One in our party ordered a drink and more than 40 mins later, still no drink. When we asked for the third time, the waitress gave us a snippy response. It took forever for salads to come out (salads!). Our waitress accidentally switched two orders, which was fine by that point we were starving and didn’t care, and she was rude about her mistake. Even more time went by and we finally got our food, two hours after being seated. Some dishes were delicious, some had obviously been under a heat lamp for a while because they were cold in the middle. Our waitress pretty much ignored us after we got our entrees, we all needed a water refill, had to ask the hostess twice for our check. There were not many people there, obviously COVID restricted the numbers, maybe they’re extremely short staffed? Or they didn’t like my wedding dress? They did have a band in a tent out back, maybe those people got all the attention. Regardless, we will not be going back. We recently moved to the area and I was so excited to find our new Italian place, oh well.

Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants around. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed. Music in the bar area and fresh made to order dishes. You will not be disappointed.
