   The food was delicious but the manor in which we were treated was unacceptable. After spending hundreds for dinner we decided to have an after dinner drink at the bar to commemorate my birthday. Before we even finished our first drink we were asked to leave so that other people can sit at the bar to eat. I'm 51 and have NEVER EVER been TOLD to leave the bar where I'm sitting and clearing buying drinks. I am insulted and feel poorly treated for such an act. Bars are first come first serve and I would have NEVER been treated like this at any other establishment. Shame on the operations at Osteria. So much for having an enjoyable time for my birthday. It was not only ruined by the way we were treated but it was the first birthday spent without my loving husband, RIP.

   Beautiful ambience with Great drinks and a nice menu. The waiter had appetizers, pastas,fish,steak specials all memorized and one sounded better than the others. Amazingly good meal cannot wait to go back. Nice wine menu as well. Desserts a must also. Note they do add on 3.5 for credit cards which adds up at the prices here so luckily I had plenty of cash.

   This is a great NYC style restaurant in a small suburban town. Food, ambiance and service were first class. Best Pork Chop I've ever had, and also enjoyed my wife's Pappardelle with mushrooms... but you better like mushrooms.

   The food and atmosphere is top tier. I felt as though I was enjoying my grandmothers cooking all over again. The atmosphere is warm and comforting.

   First of all everybody who works there this night could not have done better food was excellent especially for the price but I couldn't even have a conversation with my wife on our 25th anniversary very disappointing with that I guess we could have refused where we sat and ask for a different seat

   Great Italian food in an upscale neighborhood restaurant. The restaurant can be noisy at times as it is quite popular. It has a full bar and a bar scene as well. Cocktails are good and there is a great wine list. We opened with an appetizer of calamari and shrimp, lightly breaded and served in a Fra Diavolo sauce. The seafood was perfectly cooked, the sauce had a kick, but not too spicy, and it was big enough for four people. For entrees, my wife had the Pollo Rustica, roasted chicken over polenta with a sausage and mushroom sauce. I had a Veal Chop milanese. Both were outstanding, perfectly cooked and the portions were large. We took a pass on dessert as we were full.

    We went for our anniversary and were disappointed. For the price of the food, we expected something really good. The martini was also very foamy and the filet was average, along with the lobster. We were very let down by the overall experience and were also placed right by the bar and a trash can. After all the hype and seeing even the cast members of the Jersey Shore go there, we expected a lot more. It was overall disappointing.
