    Our group chose a variety of different offerings and every single one of us loved our dishes—carbonara, fusilli, the vodka sauce, cheese & charcuterie, calamari. Delicious! The wine selection was nice as well; especially enjoyed the Chianti. I am so happy we celebrated a great friend at Onesto.

    My family and I went here for dinner and it was fabulous! Food was delicious and service was great. However, usually not a complainer but there’s this new appetizer dish on the menu that’s a certain cheese (I forget the name of it) and I’m not exaggerating it WREAKED of dirty sour gym socks that haven’t been washed in months… we didn’t even order this dish, a table nearby did and it stunk up the entire restaurant and ruined the ambience as that was all you could smell for 15 minutes… even the workers were complaining of the smell. Will not be returning to Onesto until they take that dish off their menu. It was really that bad

    Have been here several times before, but something about our most recent experience seemed to be better and more memorable than some of the past experiences. They had some new winter entrees that were very tasty, and the service was outstanding. We had an issue with a chair, and they were so apologetic. If this had been at some other restaurant, I don't think that would have been the case. This most recent experience reinforced why I like going there!

    Very much enjoyed our meal. We split a salad and an entree. The salad came on 2 plates, but the entree only came on one, and we had to ask for an additional plate, which turned out to be quite small (adequate, but small). We had reserved a high top table, but those seemed to be occupied so were seated at a regular table.

    The menu change is not my favorite. There is little high protein choices unless u get a chicken side. The seafood choices are disappointing. Mixed cocktails are not strong and too sweet. Just make a good drink please. Fill the glass.

    Onesto has a very nice environment and we sat at a high top right next to the window which was great for people watching. Unfortunately, the service and food were subpar. We had to ask the host to fill our waters as no one came to the table for at least 15 minutes. The service was slow and the server didn't seem to be paying attention. My husband had the Vodka Pasta (gluten free) with an added chicken breast. The pasta was overcooked and the chicken breast was dry and small. I had the Pasta Bolognese. The sauce was very good but there wasn't very much of it. Our bill was over $120 for two glasses of wine, one caeser (that we split) and two plates of pasta. Too expensive for the food and experience we had.

    Booked reservations for my daughter’s birthday outing with her friends at our/her favorite restaurant. They are teenagers, and I’m assuming judged prior, for leaving small tips. They were greeted and waited on rudely, although leaving a 20% tip as instructed. If I were treated like this I’d ask for a manager. Shame, because I wanted to bring the entire family together for my wife’s birthday celebration. The food was reportedly great as always. I thought you should know.

    We had the caesar salad and cream of potato soup to start. Soup was great but the salad had little flavor. Bread and butter very good. Wine was great. We had the Bolognese and Carbonara. Both very good. We did ask for a low table in our reservation, we received a high top. The hostesses were not unfriendly but not friendly. Would definitely go back.
