L'Osteria: Reviews & Ratings
I had a delicious meal at L'Osteria. My friend and I both ordered the Chicken Cacciatore, and it was incredible. The chicken came in a light tomato sauce with vegetables that was bursting with flavor, and it was so fresh. The pasta that came with it was also great - it was soft and perfectly cooked. The portion was huge - I feel like it's rare to find such great portions in the North End, but this place is very generous. Also, menu has so many great options to choose from - it took me such a long time to decide what to get, and everything looked delicious! The service here is amazing - all the servers were so nice and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant itself has a very elegant vibe and the decor is beautiful. It really creates a chic dining atmosphere and it feels very sophisticated. Even though it is elegant though, it still feels very comfortable and pleasant to sit in. I really enjoyed L'Osteria, and I would definitely return again!
Great spot when you are in the Boston area. Authentic Italian cuisine! Excellent veal dishes . The veal special is outstanding.
The food is delicious and it's a cute vibe! Have been here multiple times and always good service.
Been coming here for years, this is our favorite restaurant in Boston. The chicken parm is awesome.
Lobster ravioli and carbonara were so good. 5 stars! Great service and the vibe was perfect for Valentine's Day.
Servers are very welcoming and friendly. They really try to get to know what you like/don't. The restaurant is cozy and spacious. Perfect for date night and group outings. I ordered their linguine with mussels, fried calamari, and a bottle of Chianti. All of them are delicious!! They have robust wine collection, definitely check it out!!
The Chicken parm and Eggplant parm were amazing. The fettuccine Alfredo was good, it was missing something, and not too saucy, but the chicken was great. The staff was great being that it was New Year's Eve, and they were full! We asked to put on the football game on the tv and they were able to, nice place with a lot of history.
Visited this restaurant on a Little Italy food tour and it did not disappoint! We tried the ravioli dish due to its authentic tomato sauce and lack of unnecessary additives like sugar, and it was a flavorful dish!
The ravioli and the sauce was spectacular! That is all we had, but it appears tourist and locals love it all the same. We would love to check out their menu further and appreciated their hospitality.
