first the hostess who greeted us at the entry was very sweet, told us our table for our reservation would take a few minutes to set up, it was a symphony night and because it is a block from the symphony building it was busy! EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE!

Everyone in my group agreed that the food was amazing. The Caesar salad was a favorite, and the lasagna was by far the best that I have ever had.

Everything was good, except for the Fetuccini Alfredo, I let the waiter know, he didn't offer any other alternatives or solutions.

Booked two months in advance. No table ready for us inside or out. No heater for outside seating - just threw together two mismatched tables for us. Not enough place settings. Missed an appetizer - never delivered and never apologized. Did not have the wine listed on menu. Did not have wine glasses. Understaffed and not treated with any urgency or consideration for our frustration. On top of that the food was mediocre at best. Most of us didn't even eat all of our food. Sad as it used to be really good.

Made a reservation for 11/23 at Osteria Cotto. We arrived and were promptly greeted by the host. Got a table right inside close to the kitchen. Right away the smell hit us. It smelled like an Italian kitchen should smell. Amazing! We knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance and music were on point. Our servers name was Salvatore. From the moment we arrived he was very attentive and we knew he was going to be awesome. We ordered Garlic Foccacia Bread with Marinara and Meatballs for appetizers. The garlic bread with the shaved parmesan was delicious. The meatballs , oh the meatballs were very tasty. You can tell they make them in house along with the sauce. For our Entrees we had Fettuccine Pasta Wheel with Chicken and Sausage, Chicken Parmigiano, and Alfredo Gnocchi Pasta with Shrimp. All 3 were superb! The portions are much bigger then we expected. So make sure to bring an appetite. For desert we tried the Lemoncillo cake. So so good!! Overall 5 stars all the way around. The food , the ambiance and the customer service provided by Salvatore were all excellent. We will be back again!!
