Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience.
We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible.
The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

We had an impromptu dinner for 2 on a Tuesday night. The service was excellent by the staff. Vic was our waiter and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and was diligent with all the service. He was a professional and it had been a long time since we had a quality waiter, who really appeared to take pride in his profession. It was a breath of fresh air. We had spicy calamari & shrimp and burrata for apps, Chilean sea bass and a mix seafood platter for entree. It was all delicious, as were a couple cocktails and tiramisu dessert. The portions were large and we left stuffed, happy; and although it wasn’t cheap, I feel it was a good value for the quality and portion size. It was our first time and we will come back and try some other dishes. I recommend a try if you haven’t been.

Outstanding food. Had the Porter for 2. Perfectly prepared. Our server John was attentive and made us feel right at home. Bartenders were also friendly and they made great cocktails. It’s a vibrant place that is filled with the buzz of people enjoying their evening. Highly recommend it for a special night out.

The food and the service were phenomenal! We were a party of 5 and we were all impressed as it was our first time at Osteria. From appetizers, to main course & dessert, all were delicious. The staff was on point and very attentive. Our glasses were promptly refilled as well as any request we had. Our waiter was very professional and attentive. I will definitely go back soon.
