I finally made it to Osteria! All it took was some pressuring from some friends…
Osteria has a really comfortable atmosphere..perfect for a date or a relaxing meal with friends/family. The seats were pretty big and you definitely had a lot of personal space (good and bad, I guess). Waitress was excellent and I couldn’t complain.
The meal started off with a “basket” of bread and breadsticks with olive oil to dip.
For the appetizers…
mozzarella in carrozza
They had the following as one of the specials for the day…
lamb belly w/ sauteed ramps and peas
The entrees we ordered…
robiola francobolli
parma pizza (my order)
margherita pizza
chicken liver rigatoni
Lastly, for dessert…
strawberry zuppa inglese
cannolis
The meal was fantastic and we were definitely stuffed afterwards. That parma pizza was great. I was gunna order either the parma or the polpo and the parma won since I’m a sucker for arugula and prosciutto. I got to try a little bit of everything at the table and my second favorite was definitely the chicken liver rigatoni. The appetizers and desserts were also fantastic. You bet I’ll be coming back here…once I can save up some money again haha.

I love Osteria! One look at that bread basket tells me it has been too long…
