We ordered fried and grilled calamari both delicious. Ravioli, fruit Del Mar with red and white sauce. Scallops entree with hash and pistachios were the fav at the table- Scallops were tender and flavorful! Great service for our large party.

Whoever seasoned and cooked the Filet tonight deserves a Michelin star! Exceptional! All the other food was great as well!

Been here many times and never gotten a bad meal, except this one time. My husband ordered the fish special, halibut. It was very good. I was not happy with my order. It lacked the vegetable and sauce on the pasta.

We have been to Osteria many times and we are never disappointed. We dined earlier than usual and found the time (5PM) a nice change- low noise, good seating. The food is always wonderful. We had the special ravioli and a chicken dish. The wait staff are incredibly attentive. We will be back!!

Always a great meal at a reasonable price point. Drinks are outstanding. It's always a date night place for me.

First time visit, very enjoyable. Provided outstanding scores other than for value as not the venue's issue but everything seems expensive these days, even pasta. Great service. Will be back.

5 stars all around! We got a corner table which made it a bit quieter. Our waiter and the support staff were top notch. We finished the bread, more offered to us. Finish a dish, cleared away. Finish a drink, another offered. The sausage and peppers were so delicious I can't even describe. Others had the braciole dinner and raved about the flavor and tenderness. Thank you for the great experience.

Ottimo's has never disappointed which is why we continue to go. I/we have never had a meal we did not enjoy. Even more you will never go to a restaurant and get the service you get there. The servers are great but kudos to the rest of the staff (servers' helpers) Bus people whatever you may call them. They are the heart of the restaurant. Quick, personable and always spot on with bread or water or whatever you may need. This place competes with any expensive Chicago restaurant at a much better price!!!!
My steak was cooked perfectly the filet was crusty without an ounce of fat on it. The potatoes crispy and tasty. My prosecco was super cold just like I like it. Staff was very friendly was a fun atmosphere full of nice people.

I'm not sure if you're a foodie or not, but I think you'll love this Italian restaurant. The cozy bar is perfect for hanging out, while the tasty food and excellent service make it a fantastic spot for a night out. The chicken dish is a must-try, and the scallops are so tender they'll make your taste buds sing. And if you're looking for a pre-dinner drink, don't forget to try an Italian Negroni - it's the perfect start to a perfect evening!

I have been eating here for a few years now and love the food… recently they forgot a dish for my pickup order and went above and beyond to make it right. Sam personally dropped it off, took the item off my bill and gave me free dessert! I will spend my money here gladly and you have a customer for life.

We reserved a high top table, but they didn't have one for us when we got there. They put us in a side room, which was great until a huge party showed up and we couldn't even hear each other talking after that. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The noise level was way too loud.
