    We visited Osteria Nando for the first time this weekend. It was a pleasure. The service was excellent. The food delicious. Finally, we found a place that makes a fine bronzino place. Only draw back was a large party sat next to our table and made the calm, romantic mood disappear. Otherwise, we plan to go back.

    Excellent dinner but we were four and only two entrees came out together. After five minutes or so we called the waiter over and they went into kitchen and returned with other entrees. Just threw off all of us eating together.

    A weird mash up of French and Italian dishes. The claim to be “Mediterranean inspired” allows them to put (for some bizarre reason) Hummus on the menu and give you store bought pita rather than the crusty bread that should be served with dishes like escargot and Bouillabaisse. I deliberately asked for BREAD when the Bouillabaisse was put in front of me but received a pita instead. Have you ever tried to soak up ANYTHING with pita? The wait staff bickering behind us in an almost empty restaurant didn’t enhance the experience. The food was okay if (under seasoned) apart from the gritty bottom of the Bouillabaisse, the beer I wanted wasn’t available and the waiter kept saying “Burrata?” and pointing at it when I was asking for and pointing at the octopus. Not completely horrible but there’s enough places in the neighborhood to not consider a return.

    Wonderful cocktails and wine. Loved the cucumber martini. Oysters and escargot were a delicious way to start our dinner. The beef burgundy, steak au poivre, and seafood risotto were amazing. Finishing with tirimisu and creme brulee made for a perfect birthday dinner.

    Food was great. Unfortunately, Service was less than great. First, we were served the wrong meal, not sure if that was a kitchen error or the server wrote down the wrong dish. Also, it was sometimes challenging to get attention from the wait staff. But the food was really good, so I’ll probably come back.

    This is a surprising little neighborhood gem. It’s partly obscured because of construction at a venue next door, so it’s easy to miss. The ambience is cozy, the waiters attentive, and the menu expansive, especially considering the size of the restaurant. I have now been there for Sunday brunch and a weekday lunch and both meals were delicious.
