Had a phenomenal first experience at Osteria Natalina on Easter Sunday. The service is impeccable; they really take the time to discuss the dishes and specials with you. The chef will also customize any dish to your liking so this restaurant is perfect for picky eaters. The food was outstanding with every dish that came out being better than the previous. The lobster bisque is easily the best I've ever eaten. The lobster was fresh, delicate and plentiful. Be sure to finish up with a tasty dessert and a cappuccino. Buonissima!

We have already visited here three times in the past two weeks. The food is amazing not to mention that the chef can re-create any Italian dish of your liking, making this a great spot for date night. Every dish we have tried has beat all expectations. The staff is extremely friendly always welcoming us with a smile and remembering us when we come back. You can’t miss if you come here.

Osteria inside is very small space and cozy atmosphere. Service was just normal (not good or bad). They didn’t bring bread with olive oil (we asked a couple times) As you can see on the pictures, pasta was just come from box and broccoli was over cooked. Veal was OK.. I probably NOT going to back..

Stopped in for 1st time tonight and we all loved everything we tried. You can tell it’s in an owner run establishment and the food and service were really 5-star in a nice cozy atmosphere. Best Italian we’ve had out in a long long time. You can order anything Italian you’re craving too the menu is just an example of some great stuff they make. I highly recommend trying some of their specialities too that are unique! Wine selection was good too! Fresh warm bread was great (2nd round was way better than first) Thank you to the staff for all being friendly, attentive, and providing a good atmosphere. Hope it’s consistent as we will be back!

What happened to you? I’ve been a faithful regular for well over 10yrs. Today, not only did you send me the WRONG ravioli with lobster, (which I can’t eat,) but you ignored my simple note request to add an extra side of olives, even if charged extra, who cares? The original owners would’ve never done this nor treated one this way. They were superb in guest treatment and meal accuracy. I’m disappointed w the consistent lower quality you’re providing. It’s sad indeed to see your restaurant go downhill and you’re previous bad reviews are a clear reflection of this.I paid $60 for a dinner I couldn’t eat. Thx.

Absolutely love this restaurant! Excellent service that makes you feel like an insider. We've been a few times and the owner has been our server at some point in every visit. They recognize us now and we feel like family. The menu is irrelevant, it's just a guide. They will make you whatever you want and are full of recommendations. I truly feel like every visit is a one-of-a-kind experience!The icing on the cake is the ambiance. Low lighting, wine glasses, small and intimate... It really invites you to take your time and enjoy the company of those around you.Disclaimer: they don't take reservations and they fill up fast! Make eating here a priority in your night or you're going to miss out! Also, no split checks so plan ahead.

This. Place. Is. A. Must.My husband found out about Osteria from a friend and decided to bring me here for a surprise birthday dinner. It. Was. AMAZING.We brought our own bottle of wine and paid a $25 corkage fee. This was worth it because I had a special bottle for the occasion. But they do have wine and beer for purchase (no liquor that I saw).The restaurant is that of a small Italian cucina, very quaint and romantic. Only about a dozen tables or so and first come first serve, no reservations. We waited about 40 min for our table (party of 2) but was able to open our wine and be served while waiting.The service was EXQUISITE! Wow, what an experience from the time we arrived to when we left. Everyone was so knowledgeable and nice!The menu has a variety of Italian dishes. We started with the special meatball appetizer and mussels. The BEST! The meatballs were perfection!My husband had one of the specials with included the most TENDER filet I've ever had along with a decadent truffle pastaI couldn't decide on a dish (they all sounded so good!). Our server helped me and I decided on chicken parmigiana. Keep in mind, they will make (and your server will tell you this) ANY TRADITIONAL ITALIAN DISH. The service is just amazing.To top it off, one of the server overheard my husband tell another customer it was my birthday (while we had been waiting for a table). So at the end, it was a surprise to us both when we were brought two mini cannolis. Of course they were PERFECTION.So, with all that said and in case I didn't use enough capital words...YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THIS RESTAURANT AND ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER. Come with an appetite and your own bottle of wine if you wish. Our experience here was exquisite and I hope to go back one day soon!P.S. they also have a pretty busy to-go service, so if you don't have the time to enjoy the ambiance, at least try the food to go!Parking: Small lot but there is another public lot next door

Osteria is an amazing experience if you want consistent top notch service and great Italian food. I love the intimate atmosphere and attention to detail by the staff and owners. Great selection of wines at all price points, off menu Italian classics and great specials. And if you like lasagne definitely a must. Give this place a try if you haven’t. The owners truly put their heart and soul into this place and it shows.

Small but excellent food. I was impressed, the staff are courteous and know the menu well. They also make delightful substitutions upon request. We will definitely return. This is how you run a restaurant ?
