    The ambience was great and the food was also great especially the pizza. If you are not a fan of cheese do not get the chicken parmigiana.

    The service was great and the food tasted fresh. I learned you can bring your own bottle—added bonus for me. Would highly recommend.

    Pretty disappointing meal. It’s clear the same sauce is used for multiple dishes. The restaurant uses plastic and plates. The dishes lacked flavor and creativity. Boring, plain, salty, and cheap plastic dinnerware we won’t be returning. College dining vibe.

    Delicious! Not our first time dining & I have a new favorite dish at Osteria Ama- the chicken Ama. It was so good- nice size portion of chicken with spinach & shrimp in a lemon sauce with a side of garlicky pasta. I couldn’t finish it because we got the calamari, shrimp & mussels in a Marina sauce & ate the whole thing with bread to mop up every last drop of the spicy sauce. Hubby had a giant chicken parm which he also couldn’t finish but we have dinner for tonight so Bonus!! We were too full for dessert but I’m sure that’s also amazing. Service was great as always. Would definitely recommend and will return again soon

    Delicious food! We sat upstairs and seating seems a bit tight. We have the whipped burrata and grilled artichokes as appetizers. Both were spectacular! We shared Veal Ama for dinner and wiped the plate clean! Food is exceptional!
