Osteria

Very pleasant atmosphere, good service and an interesting menu with good choices. Valet parking makes it easy and safe.

Delicious pork chop. Seared on the outside. Like butter on the inside. Ravioli had very unique and appetizing taste. Service was impeccable. Drinks satisfied as they should.

Perfect pre dinner package for a show at the MET. This was my first visit with my daughter and granddaughter. We ordered the pre theater meal for three. Started with cocktails. Two of us ordered the grapefruit specialty cocktail which was a hit. I went with a glass of wine which was delivered in a glass only a quarter full. Okay, it was a large glass, but it bothers me when it's not at least half full! The meals consisted of tapas servings and they were just enough and filling. Our favorite was the haddock and the dessert of chocolate fudge tort with pistachio gelato. Our server was very nice and attentive. Parking is a breeze, valet right out front ($18). The meals coming out to other guests looked very good along with the pizza. I will go here again. Make a res it was very busy for a Wednesday night!

The appetizer, burrata panzanella was very salty,
seared scallops were also salty, as well the di bufala, the pork chop was excellent. The manager asked us how we enjoyed our meal and my daughter mentioned the salty first three courses, they apologized and removed the desert and tea from the bill. Which was not asked for but was very nice. I have to admit the wait staff seemed less friendly after the meal which was uncomfortable. I would suggest that management should not ask for a review meal with out the waitstaff become upset by it. I tipped 18% which I thought was deserved.

Pasta and pork dishes were absolutely excellent. will definitely return - a great restaraunt.

Wood fired vegetables were just raw vegetables served on a plate. They were not grilled at all. Food that sauces (scallops with spring peas and the bronzino in a lemon butter sauce) were not served with spoons so you could taste the sauce. For the amount of money and hype of this restaurant I hope that I caught them on a bad night but I just do not think so.

My experience exceeded my expectations. I would return.

Amazing service !! Loved every second of my experience.

Ordered Baratta and the portion served is ridiculous it’s filled
With croutons. More of those than tomato and cucumbers. Very disappointing.
. It’s a rip Off. I’ve ordered baratta many many times in other restaurants and it’s always at least large ball. And the quality of the cheese was fair.
Several items we requested were not on the menu. So ordered the porchetta which was fair. Shrimp was good but we were two people and three were served. No one gave us the option of getting 4. I was underwhelmed totally.
Our waiter was taking the order of table next to us and was standing in between the tight table arrangement which caused my friend to have to lean way over in his chair to get out of his way. Very very uncomfortable and inconsiderate
Tuley at the front desk is awesome. Very accommodating !!!

Osteria is a really fun place to go for dinner. It’s beautifully decorated, lively and has delicious food. We had a wonderful time there!

The restaurant was overwhelmed. They could not keep. They were out of 2 items we ordered at 6pm! Tables on either side of us were really angry. The food we did get was good but they need to work on the overall experience.

Food was very good, service was lackluster and at times, trying.

Was very excited to try this restaurant. Walking in was impressed with the look of the place. Service was great! Food however was not great the night we were there. Perhaps if we had ordered something else our experience would have been different

Great value beautiful venue incredible service exceptional food and extensive wine list.

We had a little bit of everything, some appetizers, pizza, pasta, entrees, sides, cocktails, coffee and dessert. Make sure you save room for dessert!

Great place to go before a show at The Met. We got there right at 5:00 when they open and the service was friendly and quick and got us out in plenty of time to catch our show. The outside patio area was really cute and my daughter loved being able to sit outside and enjoy the lights and of course my company...LOL. . We only got the Margarita pizza and the new ravioli with eggplant that was new to the menu and both were delish....even ordered a second margarita pizza.

Went here to celebrate the start of med school and it was just what we were looking for! Nice atmosphere, fantastic service, and amazing food! Unlike most other restaurants, I had no complaints about the food here being too bland or too salty. We ordered the linguine as well as the pork chops which were both cooked perfectly.

Apparently they have good happy hour deals which I look forward to taking advantage of next time.

Side note: parking can be a bit tough to find on the street so use public transportation if available.

Service was very poor. Food was good not great as opposed to what it was before the change. I understand it was “pre-theater” but we didn’t opt for that menu, were there in plenty of time but again, service was horrible. A comped dessert was a band-aid on what is an issue that needs to be addressed. .

The energy was great and the food was spectacular.
Our server attentive and informative.
Need to sync the bar service with the kitchen pace.
We waited 20 minutes for our cocktails. The first few courses came out in 10 minutes.

The food was wonderful and we will be back in the future!

Great meal, we took advantage of pre show special and were able to order 5 things from menu . Special " shout out " to Robert the valet for extra effort in keeping folks dry in thunder storm.

Great place to go to before shows at The Met. They even have a menu for that as well as happy hour offerings. We had the artichoke app and a pizza. Just enough for two! It got very crowded but not exceptionally loud. We even shared our table with another couple so they could stay in the bar area. All in all, a good place to pre-party!

Food was amazing. Wish the portion sizes were bigger though

Good service. Main course (pork chop) was delicious. Appetizers and primo were a little oddly spiced/flavored but interesting. Overall a good restaurant but Philly has many excellent choices. Close to the Met which was the main reason for selecting.

Had a wonderful dining experience on a beautiful night outside. We chose the Convivio and sampled many fine dishes. Benjamin's service was just great. Attentive engaged not overbearing or forced. He loves people and knows the menu. Great night

Lovely, big, lofty setting. Service was pleasant and attentive. Food was very good. My kids loved their pizza and pasta and my octopus. My husband and I enjoyed our mixed green salad, octopus, pork chop and chicken liver pasta. The wine was well represented and tasty. Desert was excellent - we had chocolate tortino, fruit tart and peach gelato.

This place can be lovely for a small group like ours and has bountiful options for larger parties. They have a lovely glassed in patio/ greenhouse area also.

All around a lovely evening.

We were excited to return to Osteria after not being there for a while. However, we were quite disappointed with the taste of the food. The dishes we had were overpowered by vinegar...vinegar was added to almost every dish and it did not belong there at all. The branzino was good, but too salty and we just thought the food lacked passion and taste. Our server was great and was very accommodating. I hope the food improves because it’s such a cozy, inviting place.

Liked the vibe as soon as we walked in. Disappointed the food was not served consistently. Lots of too long lulls between appetizers, small plates, etc. Scallop dish delivered cold and nearly raw. Server replaced it and he who delivered it called it medium well done scallop - an insinuation we eat beef well done! In general staff was great. Food quite good. A birthday celebration for a gluten free diner. Need more gluten free desert choices.

Amazing food and atmosphere!

Osteria is one of of our go-to places because of the quality and creativity of the food and the attentive and professional service. We go often when we want a non-red sauce Italian meal.

Nothing short of amazing. Became 1 of my top 3 restaurants in Philadelphia. This is a place that understands how to provide not just great food, not just great service , but a truly encompassing dining experience.

Waiter "Marco" was excellent. Ambiance is very good, Cappuccino and biscotti were great.

Not sure how they do it but...the food, drinks & service always impress. We normally sit at the bar but tonight we sat in the DR and it was awesome. We literally plan our next visit in the middle of our current dinner. Thank you!

I live about an hour from Osteria, and I figure I've now brought close to two dozen family and friends to the restaurant over the years. It is my favorite all-around restaurant, and one where I'm certain we'll have a marvelous meal, beautiful orchestrated by kitchen, with polished and friendly service. Our most recent visit was no different. I highly commend the convivio menu, and, by all means, eat family style. A highlight on this visit was a fusilli with peas and lamb pancetta, which were little flecks of intensely flavored, lamby perfection. Marvelous. Also, it's one of the oldest desserts on the menu, but the polenta budino with hazelnut mousse is such a delicious treat, I almost always order it. Osteria has changed hands a few times, but with the original chef, Jeff Michaud, at the helm, it continues to fire on all cylinders. Bravi tutti!

We had a great server, she was very engaging and sweet. However, she had a huge table next to us and we got lost in the shuffle. It took over 10 minutes to bring me my glass of wine I ordered. Our entrees were late getting out to us. The manager had to come over to apologize to us while serving our food to us...I had to ask him where my wine was. It just didn’t get any better from there. Food was good not great...sad to say I will not be returning. This was my 3rd attempt and my last.

Birthday and a show at The Met.
Great Place. Excellent Dining Experience.
If you haven’t been - Go.
The Artichokes were a surprise Highlight as was the 32oz RibEye. Didn’t expect to love them as much.
Order as many dishes as you can, 2-3 per person. And Enjoy!
Sample a couple Custom drinks as well. We did the Vodka with an egg fluffed in it. And the Rye based (old fashioned/Manhattan thing).
Both were excellent.
The vodka one tasted like a drinkable Key Lime Pie.
Enjoy.
We did !!!

Professional staff, great ambience, quick service....of course we were in there at 5:15!
I thought the pizza was a tad overcooked, but maybe that's the way Osteria cooks there's. We ae every bite of everything!

Lovely outside dining with delicious food. Waiter was quite forgetful yet kind. Our drinks were late, missing the side ice as asked for, my doggie bag was never delivered, and the ice finally came near the end our our dinner. But the food was wonderful, and people were gracious.

The food has fallen off its standards over the years

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was chill. Collin (Colin) was a great server and very knowledgeable of the menu. He gave us a rememorable experience for my boyfriend's 30th. Thank you!
