I don't think the restaurant knows what it is or at least I definitely don't. You walk into a rowdy bar and then get seated at a romantic restaurant in the back. The service was good and they kept our drinks refilled and a very nice young man with an ankle injury was very friendly and knowledgeable of the specials. I ordered the chicken parmiangiano and my wife the bolognese. It was more acidic than I'd like and very sparse on the sauce. Slightly overpriced and table was small. I'd say probably not the best Italian food in Buffalo.

Wife and I going to 7:00 show so made reservations for 5 got there at 4:50. Not alot of people in restaurant but sat us in little table 2 chairs next to a wall. Waiter came asked what to drink we said bottle of wine. Wife asked if bread included with meals we could nt understand him so I asked still not sure what he said so we ordered house bread and our meal. Bread appetizer came out about 15 min. Now5:20. Where we sat every 5 to 10 minutes people were going by to use bathroom. Older people and being downtown you have to go. Heard waiter next table tell them about specials our guy nothing. Now 5:40 he comes out bread in bag with oil sorry meals a little behind. 5:55 food comes out he left my dinner bearly Luke warm maccaroni needs to be hot Wife same waited for him but running late bit the bullet and ate the meal. Next time we saw him was to give us the ck. Still gave22% tip he has to make a living. Chalked it up to bad experience. We all get them

Very friendly and attentive staff. Unfortunately the food was subpar. It was unseasoned, overcooked, and bland. We also received the wrong drinks. Very loud inside and difficult to hold an intimate conversation. .

Such a lovely experience. Great food. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he loved it said best chix parm he ever had. I had a seafood special and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. Dessert was mini donuts and were perfect and so much flavor. My martini was perfect and they even made me blue cheese stuffed olives!! I note that the owner made everyone feel very special by interacting with every table and service was excellent and attentive. Thank you Lauren.For a Friday night, where sometimes it’s so busy to go to a restaurant, you almost expect to get a lower level of service .… we received a higher level of service than I get at most establishments. Thank you for such a lovely and tasty evening.
The food was excellent service was great the waitress knew the menu specials without looking at the men everyone was very friendly friendly and the price was very reasonable I will go there

Enjoyed a lovely New Year's Eve dinner here. First, the bartenders were fantastic. Very friendly and engaging with patrons. Had the focaccia al forno while at the bar and it was served fresh and hot. We were seated 10 minutes early for our reservation. (Slight hiccup, I asked the hostess to move us to a different table and she declined saying there was a similar seating reservation at the same time. That table was never occupied until we left 90 minutes later.) Our server was spectacular. She made contact with us shortly after seating and shared the specials, but also commented on the ones she recommended. We ordered the "coccoli" off the special appetizers. This was a deconstructed app of dough, cheese, prosciutto and giardenera. It was incredible. For dinner, Mrs BP combined a salad and appetizer stuffed peppers. I opted for shrimp pomodoro. The shrimp were cooked well and not fishy or chewy. The pasta also was in just the right amount of sauce. The manager was actively assisting wait staff with food delivery and checking on patron's experiences. The decor is quant and I would highly recommend the restaurant for dinner or drinks and an appetizer if in the area.
Incredible experience. I went to Osteria for my partners 30th birthday last night and we had such a great time. The vibe of this place was hella cute and the food was perfection. I got the pork special- the mushroom risotto that it came with was to die for. I would literally eat that for every meal. The best part about this place is the service- WOW. We were welcomed into Osteria with a huge smile from the bartender, the maitre’d checked on us half way through the meal, the owner (maybe? Or GM?) touched the table as well to see how we were enjoying our experience and our server was beyond perfect. He did such a great job at reading our table and providing the type of service that we were hoping to enjoy by celebrating at Osteria. 10 out of 5 stars for sure. Will go back…. Very very soon.
