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.

Every time I’ve come to this restaurant I’ve never had a bad meal. Everything we had was delicious. The list of specials are almost as long as the actual menu. The desserts were beautifully created and delicious. Our server was awesome. I look forward to coming back.

As soon as we sat down, we felt very rushed. The waiter took our drink order and wanted to take the appetizer order also. We got our drinks and the appetizers came out way too soon. Dinner followed before we were done with the apps.

It was just okay. We took waiter’s suggestions and had the specials but not that special. Clean restaurant and attentive staff. Table was wobbly which was annoying with my martini spilling.

Starting at the bar with a broad range of drinks all made perfect to the table that was perfect.Nero our waiter made his suggestions along with a nice list of specials and wine suggestions once again all perfect.A perfect close with dessert was a homemade lemon chelo that was excellent.

Food was just ok. Our waiter was great but diners at the next table were arguing loudly. Our waiter was watching over them for a while but the female finally threw her drink at her companion and ultimately it ended up all over our friends who were dining with us . So trashy and very embarrassing for us since we told our friends how great this restaurant was! The worst part was no management or owner stopped over to check on our friends or offer an apology. Nothing at all. I know exactly who he is from a previous dining experience there. He was too busy taking care of and talking to his friends at another table. Extremely unsympathetic and unprofessional and it left a very bad impression on us all. Definitely will never return or recommend this place to anyone anymore.

Although this was our second time to the restaurant, the food is good, but the value is not there. We were celebrating a special occasion of a wedding, and my nephew ordered the special of a tomahawk. The waiter, who was mostly absent during a meal, never advised the cost. When the check came it was $185, just for the steak. even after leaving a tip, he didn’t even thank us. I would think twice about going back here again. I believe it’s overrated. However, the food was good.

Nice decor, friendly efficient staff, good food with a nice variety. My only issue was the noise level . I expect a restaurant to be a busy and active place and a bit noisy. However, they were playing club music and it was fairly loud. If I wanted to hear club music, I would go to club not a high end , pricey restaurant. For that reason, I would probably not go back there.

Our waiter was wonderful, I wish I remember his name to give a shout-out. He was very engaging and complimentary towards my family. He was also very attentive and gave impeccable service. Our food was outstanding (as usual) this wasn’t our first time here and certainly won’t be the last!!!!!

Been back a few times. Never disappointed. We over ordered. Forgot the portion size of the apps and salads. That wedge salad was meant for the table... had to be, but all mine. The Frito Misto done perfectly and the burrata, simply wonderful. The only problem, and it was our fault, is that we never mentioned someone had a shellfish allergy, so the gnoochi was ordered. It came with lobster. It was discovered in time and a replacement was brought out. Rather quickly. So all was ok. The waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you. Want to come back and try one of those steaks. They looked great, but those are need to share items so will come back with carnivores. The zeppole stuffed with canoli and Nutella..OMG. Warm and with ice cream.... nice finish. Thanks
