The food was absolutley delicious, beautifully presented and flavors were spot on. Definitely going back.

We ate here as a celebration dinner for my sons graduation with his masters from Drexel. We also ate here when he received his undergraduate degree. Both times it was excellent. The food, wine, and service were top notch. It is our go to place when we are in philly.

What a wonderful meal. The three of us did the Omivivo family style meal. A choice of two dishes each at four courses. Our favorite was the rabbit with morels. But every course was delicious, and the service by Allie was excellent. The sommelier also suggested two wonderful wine pairings. My favorite restaurant in Philadelphia.

Food was excellent! We chose to have the tasting menu and was pleasantly surprised to receive additional dishes - 5 more! Service was impeccable - very attentive, not overbearing. If we lived closer, we would be regular patrons.

The dining was crowded and noisy, we'd had reservations for over a month, yet the seating for two was somehow wrapped around a column, so it was both cramped and uncomfortable for conversation.

I asked that our bottle of Barollo be decanted and allowed to breath prior to our meal and the wine came out after our first course and not decanted. The monk fish entree was dry, the porchettta was also dry and lacked flavor.

Borlotti beans which were ordered as a side were very spicy, so much so, that we complained to the manager, he came back and agreed that the kitchen had way over seasoned with chili powder. Chili powder in Northern Italian cuisine, really?

My boyfriend and I had a just because dinner at Osteria Friday evening. We chose the chef's tasting menu - for $65/person you it is a 4 course menu and each course consists of 2 different items you share. Generally, you don't pick the items you would like, the chef surprises you. We mentioned that I love octopus, so they made sure we got an order of that! We also were going to add a cheese plate, but they let us sub in the cheese as one of our dessert courses! The staff was exceptional and very accommodating. If you wanted to keep it on the less expensive end, you could certainly go for pizza and an appetizer. We didn't try the pizza this time, but several tables around us seemed to be enjoying it. We will definitely be back!

Excellent, efficient, knowledgeable service. Delicious food! Wonderful (and expensive) cocktails! I’ve eaten in the interior, cozy dining room and in the glass sunroom. Each has its charm.

Pizza was great!!!! Pasta was very salty and the clams were extremely gritty. Service was good. We waited a long time for our check.

We just loved the restaurant! The food, atmosphere and wine list were just awesome!
I would recommend this place anytime!!

Everything was great. Server was polite and responsive.

Our waitress was Nora and she was a sweetheart. It was our first time there and she throughout explained to us what everything was. We were nervous with an unfamiliar menu. She was informative and lighthearted when we were confused about what came with what. I’m definitely requesting her the next time I visit and I’m definitely visiting Osteria more often.

Pizza was very delicious, other items were fair for the price.

Our server, Zeke, was as good as he was the last time we were here. The food we had was as good as it has always been.

Andrew and I have been coming to Osteria since it opened. We did two of the 10-year celebration dinners . BIG FANS, in other words.

We are happy to see additional salad options, though we split the veggie plate last night.

Excellent meal and service. Each dish was a discovery in flavor and texture. We will definitely be back again soon!

The food was delicious and the service was great but the portions were way too small. We had appetizers and an entree each but we had to order another 2 pasta plates because we were still hungry. I would prefer if they had charged us more and given us more. I got the rabbit— they gave me 3 bites of rabbit ! Portions did not used to be so small. I’m a little disappointed.

We ordered the 2 apps, 2 pastas, 2 entrees option, a flight of wine, and dessert. Everything was well prepared and presented. Chicken liver rigatoni never gets old! The staff was amazingly attentive and contributed to a nice experience!

Great food & fantastic server. Consistently good.

Our experience was excellent. Everything we ate was superb from the bread to our main courses (bucatini with clams, lamb to our desert) and our waiter Vincent was very friendly, engaging and attentive. Highly recommend.

Food was delicious. Portions were a decent size. We shared oysters, pasta and crispy lamb shoulder between the two of us. Only disappointment was the dessert, nothing special on the menu. They were decent but paled in comparison to the regular menu items.

❤️ Zeke!!!!

delicious italian food that is unique. you won't eat a meal that you could find somewhere else. staff was so friendly and warm. a truly wonderful experience through and through!

Always love a Schulson meal! Thank you for such an incredible dinner! 🙏

An enjoyable evening was had by all 6 of the party. Maybe the shoulder of lamb was a little dry, but the dessert course was outstanding. We shall return!

Overall I thought it was overpriced and the portions were small. We had the tuna bruschetta which was delicious and a salad (forgot the name it had white asparagus) which was also delicious. We had the lamb shoulder, the lamb was nicely cooked but the plate was pretty much the lamb it had 4 small pieces of potato and that was it. I thought the dish could use more veggies/potatoes and more sauce. We had one of the pastas which was delicious (with beets). The portions were small.

it was our fist time and we were disappointed. The pasta was cold..I didn't want to complain in front of our friends.

In short, the brunch menu sucks! Go for dinner. We weren't given any bread, olive oil or anything. The entrées were tastey but portions were small. The service was good but I probably won't go back because it's not authentic Italian food. Basically if you want some $20 pizza, this is the place for you.

Mother’s Day brunch

Graduation

All the food arrived at once and it tastes very good but was cold.

First visit. Service and food were outstanding. Very warm and friendly. Great value as well. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you!

We ordered the tasting menu which was a real treat! It gave us the opportunity to sample numerous items on the menu. The food preparation, presentation and the service were all outstanding. We will definitely return when we visit Philadelphia again.

Food was fantastic!! Service was amazing and the entire dining experience was perfect.

Menu changed up a bit since last time I was there but overall still really good. Had the chicken liver rigatoni which, as others have pointed out, is probably one of the best values on the menu and super flavorful. The bucatini wasn’t nearly as large a portion and was several $ more.

We took a Temple student for dinner during finals. He was able to relax and enjoy the meal. Close to the school, and offers a high end great authentic Italian food experience. We recently returned from a trip to Italy and Osteria is probably as close as you will get to the authentic Italian experience (in Philly). Not much to look at from the street, but great ambiance inside with enclosed outdoor seating. Candlelit, calm atmosphere.

Seamless. We closed the restaurant not even noticing what was going on around us. Seamless.

Love, love, love this restaurant for so many reasons!

Consistently good food and service. Fun ambiance but can get a little loud. Better for groups than intimimate setting

We opted for the Chef's tasting menu. It wasn't a lot of food for the price. Pasta sizes are small (with the idea that you will actually do three courses.) The food was very delicious though.

Wonderful service and food!! We plan to come back often and very soon.

Great service, ambiance, and food! The food was fabulous! We were able to order and get our food quickly, as we had a show after dinner.
