    The food here is absolutely outstanding. it’s no wonder this place has thrived for nearly a decade and keeps people coming back. With excellent dishes, reasonable prices, and a perfectly cozy ambiance, it delivers a true dining experience. This is hands down my new favorite spot for a warm, intimate dinner with my husband. Last night, we tried just about everything and couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, this is the place to be.

    Our service person was acceptional . Myhfriend who is a gourmet cook asked many questions about the ingredients of each entree. She knew it all.we had butternut squash with figs was delicious. my friend had Bece with pepper and cheese. He agreed it was far better than his. We shared the Caesar salad which was very different than any other Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Amazing! For desert we ordered pastry stuffed with apples and a side of ice cream and a chocolate dessert I don’t remember the name. I give Osteria mozza five stars in every area .
