Osteria 545 is a true gem tucked away in Paulsboro NJ offering an unforgettable dining experience that effortlessly combines rustic Italian flavors with modern touches. The staff at Osteria 545 is exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable. Our server Sienna was super friendly and took a family photo for us! When it comes to the pasta, Osteria 545 truly shines. The Pappardelle Bolognese is a standout, with wide ribbons of fresh pasta enveloped in a rich, slow-simmered meat sauce that’s as comforting as it is decadent. If you're in the mood for seafood, the linguine with clams is divine—the clams are tender, and the sauce is flavorful yet light, allowing the freshness of the seafood to really shine through. For entrées, the Osso Buco is an absolute must-order. The tender braised veal shank falls off the bone with the gentlest touch, and the accompanying risotto is creamy and full of depth. The grilled branzino, with its crispy skin and delicate, flaky flesh, is another showstopper. Desserts here are the perfect end to your meal. The tiramisu is light, airy, and packed with just the right balance of espresso and mascarpone. If you're feeling adventurous, the ricotta cheesecake is velvety smooth, with a subtle sweetness that leaves you wanting more. The wine list at Osteria 545 is thoughtfully curated, offering a range of Italian wines that complement the menu beautifully. All in all, Osteria 545 is a must-visit for anyone in search of an exceptional Italian meal. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s a place to savor, to relax, and to enjoy the beauty of Italian cuisine in a cozy, charming setting. Highly recommend!

Everything was wonderful. Food. Service. Sunday gravy was great. Same for the gnocci. And gelato. Even the bread was so tasty. We drove a half hour from NE Philly but it was worth the effort. We will go back. Definitely a keeper experience.
