I came to celebrate my friend Iliana's bday and WOW!!!!! What an amazing experience, from the appetizer to the stake, one of the best experiences in BK!! A+++++ read more

My favorite spot. Solo, date night, dinner with friends - it's always a great experience. The servers are very helpful when ordering and knowledgeable of the menu. It's old world right in the middle of wild Brooklyn. read more

First weekend of indoor dining and we are back, New York! A sense of cheer and a little bit of hope this Valentine's Day as we came to enjoy a meal indoors complete with wine. Lunch felt particularly cozy as we started with the - Burrata - tricolore salad - stuffed quail (the highlight here as it was deboned, stuffed with sausage AND cooked to perfection) Duck ravioli was stuffed with cinnamon and apple topped with a duck ragu. The flavor of the duck didn't quite make it through but the ravioli was amazing. The bursts of sweetness combined with the saltiness of the meat sauce struck a good balance. Lamb was cooked well with a wine reduction but I felt it could've used a bit more seasoning. Bites without an ample amount of sauce fell a bit flat. All in all, for a comeback, Convivium lived up to its name. 4/5: solid Italian favorites, welcome back to indoor read more

I wrongfully assumed that I could stroll into any Italian restaurant and find vegetarian options, never on the Secondi section but definitely under Primi...such was not the case here. The only vegetarian entree on the menu is the spiach gnudi which was very good if you're into spinach as the flavors definitely stands out above the asiago sauce and cheese. Service was average, they were not willing to make any modifications to accommodate, I really wanted to try the ravioli and was hoping they could omit the duck ragu but I was told that wasn't possible. When we ordered wine they only brought over one of two glasses and when we asked for the check we were told the dessert menu haha. The ambiance was quiet, super cute for a date night and I'm pretty sure we were seated next to a couple on their first date which speaks to the vibe. It's a dark, romantic, and cozy establishment. Which I didn't mind at all. If they update the menu I would definitely come back and likely give it more stars :) read more

Small but charming place. The service on a Saturday night was deficient. The restaurant was packed and they clearly needed more people. Slow to get drinks and food! Although the menu has a variety, it is not extensive, and for an "Italian" place it would be nice to have more pasta options. All 6 dishes we ordered needed seasoning! The only positive was the close distance to Barclays Center. read more

This place has been on my list to visit for ages and was really looking forward to it after seeing the high ratings it gets. Unfortunately we were left disappointed. The place could be great but too many things fell short of expectations on the night we visited. We asked for the dessert menu before ordering as that always helps me decide what to have for other courses, as soon as I was told there was panna cotta on offer, I was sold - my favorite We ordered the chicken livers to share as a starter and the lamb chops and gnocchi gratinati al forno for mains. The chicken livers are complimented by lovely flavors that I have not tried with them before - balsamic reduction, onion and pancetta. However the overcooked and dry livers made the dish less enjoyable than it could be. We waited over 30 minutes between our starter being finished and the main coming out despite the fact that we ordered all at the same time. This was annoying as the restaurant was quite empty and people who came in and ordered after us had already received their food. When the mains came, the cauliflower accompanying the lamb was cold and the gnocchi was bubbling hot, way too hot to eat. The lamb was perfection, probably the best lamb I have had but cold cauliflower took away from overall enjoyment! The gnocchi when it eventually cooled down was delicious as well. For dessert we had the tiramisu and panna cotta. The tiramisu was very good. The biggest disappointment of the night was the wobble free over set panna cotta, why why why??? The flavors were good but the consistency was off and another dish fell short. With desert I had a coffee, some instinct said open the milk jar.. and there were green bits floating in the milk, once pointed out it was replaced. I doubt we will be back, too much better on offer in the area to risk another okish experience here read more

Like stepping off of 5th Ave. in Brooklyn and straight into Italy. I'm not sure how I will be able to handle having two new favorite places in one month, but I will try to persevere. Side note: this place is a few blocks from my apartment, so I've passed it on the street for the past four months, but never went inside. I regret it now, but plan to make up for it. The first thing you notice when you step inside is the decor. It's very authentic Italian and cozy. We were greeted by an Italian woman and seated on time for our reservation. We were offered the wine menu while waiting for our table at the bar, which was subsequently brought to our table when we were seated. We ordered a bottle barbera, which was delicious. For the first course, we had the burrata. It was not the best burrata I've ever had, but still very good. For the main course, I ordered the Green apple, ricotta, and cinnamon housemade ravioli with Peking duck ragú. Yes, it's as good as it sounds. My friend ordered the housemade tagliatelle with beef and veal rosemary ragú, which was also insanely good. I really love that all the pasta we ordered was made in-house. It definitely took the flavor up a notch. I noticed a lot of negative comments about the service, but I have to say, the service we experienced was pretty good. The staff was attentive and I loved that the server was Italian. The owner (also Italian) attended to our table as well. The food was timed perfectly and we were never waiting for anything. I will be back here as much as possible. read more

Came here with a friend - was given the absolute worst table - a two seater in the middle of the tiny room near the bar. Every time the waiters walked by they'd bump my chair. When larger parties came in there was nowhere to stand so they were right on top of us. Worst part was the noise and we were clearly being RUSHED to get out. Apps showed up within 5 minutes. Entrees showed up the second plates were cleared. We weren't even in there an hour when we were asked if we want dessert. (We didn't, went elsewhere.) Food was decent but I was so uncomfortable in that place that I don't think I'll ever return. I just wanted good food and good conversation but we had to yell and then leave. read more

We came here for Valentine's Day- our first time going out for the holiday (we usually cook) so we were excited for the celebration of it all. That being said I give this place and experience three stars- okay, fine even but not good or great. Our reservation was at 9:30 pm and after arriving a few minutes before, we were surprised to see 4-5 other couples crammed into the tiny front entry still waiting for their reserved tables as well. A few more came in after us as well and we ended up not being seated until 10 pm. To be fair, there was a table available by the bar five minutes before we ended up sitting but at this point of waiting, we thought what's a few more minutes for a nicer table by the window. That bar table actually ended up leaving because the server never came to their table. So not a good start. Once we were sat at the nice table by the window, we also had to wait about ten or so minutes for water and a server. We placed our orders from the pri fixe menu right away because at this point we were very hungry. Annoyingly, the meal was poorly timed by the restaurant. Our appetizers came out at the same time as the starter bread basket and olives, then the wait between these and the meal was about 30 minutes. For appetizers, I ordered the quail and Beebs ordered the polenta. I've never had quail before and it was nice to try something new. Both were good dishes. For main course, he had the steak and I had the lobster linguine. Both dishes came out on cold plates which if you know anything about food, is a recipe for disaster if you're having a hot meal. Also the mashed potatoes they came with his steak or lukewarm. My pasta was definitely forgettable. The lobster and the linguine were both under season and lacking flavor. When we finally got desert (which was also another long wait), this was probably the redeeming part of the meal. I got the pine nut tart and he got the tiramisu. The tiramisu was fine- definitely not the best I've ever had but my pine nut tart was delicious. It was crunchy and sweet from honey. A much needed plus after a forgettable meal. Well this is all happening, we had the server come over one time in the entire meal to check if everything was OK. The staff was friendly when they were attentive but they were barely attentive so it's not saying much. So definitely not worth the hassle if there is a hassle to come to this place. There's plenty of other good Italian spots you can go to for a much more memorable meal. read more

Although the food was excellent, what really stands out is the service. You can really tell that they put in a lot of effort to provide an authentic experience. We got the burrata and the quail for appetizers, both great. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the ragu in tagliatelle was very rich. read more

Had a wonderful meal and experience here Wednesday night. It's as gorgeous as it seems like it would be, the energy was palpable, and everything was delicious. I had the quail, Caesar salad, and flourless cake. I was lucky enough to be served by Angel, who was welcoming and friendly and made excellent wine recommendations. As a solo diner, he provided the perfect balance of conversation and allowing me to enjoy my book. I will absolutely be back. As an aside, it's maybe not the best for vegans. There are artichokes and salads and olives, but no main courses. read more

Had a romantic dinner at Convivium Osteria on Friday night. Excellent and inspired dishes in one of the most beautiful dining areas I could imagine. Quality: Had a lovely dinner at Convivium Osteria. I find that we rarely go out for Italian, and this was a wonderful reminder of how delicious specialty Italian dishes can be. Our meal started with a very good Burrata, served with large slices of heirloom tomatoes, and a fine but unexciting Polpo. For pastas we first had the Gnudi, a fluffy ricotta and spinach based pasta with a wonderful cheese based sauce. And the very unique Ravioli, which had green apple, ricotta, and cinnamon served with a duck ragu. A sweet and savory combination, which may not be for everyone, but something I would order every time. For our mains, I selected the Coniglio, which was braised rabbit served with polenta crostini. It still had that gamey taste, but they paired it well with different elements to prevent it from being abrasive. However, the Agnello, a pistachio crusted roasted rack of lamb, was the winner of the night. Incredibly cooked and the crust was outrageous, among the best lamb I have ever had. Quantity: We ordered more than we needed and managed to finish it all. The dishes are all a good size, but I think a pasta and a main for each person is the correct portion for dinner. Value: $16 for the Burrata. $17.50 for the Polpo. $23 for the Gnudi. $24 for the Ravioli. $29 for the Coniglio. $34 for the Agnello. Ambiance: Convivium Osteria is located at the northern end of Park Slope. They currently have a very nice outdoor setup, but with the rain it was completely empty. When you walk inside they have a rustic dining area. A small bar near the front, old chandeliers, and lots of wine on display. What I was not expecting was to be led to the middle of the restaurant and down a set of stairs to the wine cellar basement. It is an amazing space, which both keeps the wines chilled and provides the perfect backdrop for either a large private gathering or small romantic meal. The brick walls and gated fences, enhance the look and feel. The only thing to keep in mind is it will be a little chilly. The music was traditional pop and then a lot of Buena Vista Social Club, both good choices. Crowd: Reservations are recommended, but not always required. On a cool and rainy Friday, when their outdoor dining area was not a viable option, they were turning folks without reservations away. The restaurant itself is very nice and the wine cellar basement is perfect for a romantic evening. Service: Excellent service from the friendly staff. The meal was paced perfectly and I appreciated the recommendations and guidance with the menu. Parking: Limited street parking in the area. read more

The two of us sat down. The bus boy was nice immediately brought us water and bread after we ordered. The waiter was not as courteous. Took our orders and never came by to check on us until we finished dinner. We ordered an expresso " Don't have it." Ok. A coffee then? Ok. He brought it to us. We asked for sweetener, Equal, Splenda, please. "Don't have it". What? The basics? We then asked the waiter to make a reservation for Saturday. "No. We don't take reservations". What? I was sure in the pandemic restaurants would be happy to have business and good customers like us! We left. Probably would never come back. Bad service. We tipped 25% anyway. read more

Yesterday my partner and I came in spontaneously. I haven't been here in 10 years and was excited to be back. We had a lovely time. The ambiance and service were great. We came in to have a bite, nothing too crazy, so we only ordered 3 dishes to split and some beer and dessert. We really enjoyed the stuffed Quail and Spinaci salad. The quail was tender, and tasty stuffed with sausage. It was just the right amount to keep you wanting more... you cant have too much with Quail. The Spinaci salad was delicious. I feel like you cant mess up a fresh spinach salad with blue cheese and candied walnuts. Our third plate was the braised rabbit which I didn't love. However, I spoiled myself with sous vide rabbit so any other way cooked, just doesn't do it for me anymore. It wasn't as tender and the portion was very small, and included were three tiny polenta triangles. It was okay. The sauce just wasn't special enough to leave me wanting more so I didn't mind the small portion too much. We had two beers which were okay. They can def do much better with their beer selection given that Witch's Brew and GoldStar aren't too far and supply some of the most delicious brews. They can def upgrade that portion of the menu. We're just a bit spoiled here in Bk. Sorry. haha To top the meal off, we enjoyed a lovely pana cotta w/ blueberry compote on top. You cant go wrong with that one. Overall enjoyable experience with a few minor and fixable notes. I would recommend trying Convivium Osteria read more

We are so glad we picked this place for our anniversary. Family owned and run, and you can tell everyone truly cares about your experience. *Bread and olive oil was yummy *Grilled octopus - delicious *Apple & cinnamon ravioli with duck ragu - exceptional *Sardinian Pasta with Housemade Berkshire Pork Sausage in Tomato Sauce - very yummy, great flavor *Blueberry & coconut crumble pie - perfect dessert, light but delicious The decor is rustic and warm. Fairly small so be sure to make a reservation. read more

Delicious Italian trattoria! Great vibe and decor. Excellent menu with classic Italian dishes. Affordable too. Just a down home, delicious meal without any fuss. read more

This place was very interesting! The environment is eye-catching and the restaurant is cozy! This place was recommended to me while I visiting here in the Brooklyn, And I always like to give at least one place that's recommended to me a try before I go and explore other places I've read The vibe is pretty cool here the music is loud and in Italian. I came with my dad to eat here after a rough day in the hospital visiting my grandma so maybe it wasn't the best setting that we were looking to be in but that's not the restaurants fault. But as a date or going out with friends this place would be perfect, especially if you don't mind the loud music. The prices are fine, the lasagna was tasty, My dad really enjoyed his lamb chops and we both thoroughly enjoyed of the Burrata. The polenta wasn't our favorite item. All in all pleasant and interesting experience! read more

I must have some really great friends because they brought me here for my birthday after I insisted I didn't need a celebration. Little did I know I would have a piping hot Italian meal and a piece of to-die-for flourless chocolate cake to end my 23rd year. Lucky me. Convivium is rated as one of the best restaurants in Park Slope, which I cannot disagree with. Situated in the heart of 5th Ave, CO stands out among the rest. With copper pots and pots hung on the walls and rustic decor and brick throughout, you'll feel like you're getting the real Italian experience here. For appetizers, we had the burrata and the meat/cheese plate (tagliere di salumi e formaggi). They were both very fresh and delicious, though I did think the serving sizes were small. We all ordered pastas (primi) for dinner. How could you not? The gnudi di ricotta e spinici was a plate of 15 or so gnudis, a fluffly, light as a feather puff of pasta. Wow. The ricotta was thinned to a sauce, almost resembling a bechamel. The sausage pasta (malloreddus con salsiccia) was second on my taste test, and I have to say it was also delicious. The sweet sausage was a surprising twist among the pecorino cheese. I still rated mine higher, but yum. Last but not least was the tagliatelle al ragú, a fancy way of saying spaghetti with meat sauce. This was 3rd on my rankings, but still okay. I wasn't disappointed, but the flavor in the sausage pasta was more complimentary and went done easier. Overall the staff was wonderful and took very good care of us. We had several bottles of wine among the 5 of us and we never had an empty glass. We were all quiet after being served, which my father always said is the best sign of a good meal. Mangia! read more

Seated in the wine cellar, sharing copious amounts of wine and excellent pasta over candlelight, my wife leaned in...and stole the last ravioli off my plate. Well, the romance may be dead in our relationship, but you seem like you still have a shot. So take your date to Convivium, and order the green apple and cinnamon ravioli with duck ragú. I know it sounds a bit odd, and it's ever so slightly sweet for my taste, but it works. So just do it. If I have one warning for you: I wouldn't get too attached to any of your choices on the wine list. We were literally sitting in a cellar full of wine, and yet they were out of the first three bottles we chose. Eventually we just said, "Bring us the cheapest bottle of white wine that you actually have." Because we're classy. If I have two warnings for you: Watch my wife around your ravioli. She's a thief. read more

If you are around Barclays Center for any show, game, concert... check out Convivium Osteria. Service: great! Friendly, fast, attentive Food: fantastic! We order, gamabari (shrimps), fettuccini and the chickens secondi. The portions are perfect and the taste is on point. We were on a rush and I was sad to not try any of their deserts, which they look delicious (next time). Atmosphere: it is a small restaurant, but it cozy and warm. The decor is lovely. There is also outside sitting!! Overall: it was a great please to eat and have a glass of wine before our comedy show. read more

I actually loved this place when I went. I wasn't expecting much since I was on a date but the venue really got me. It's actually close enough that you can visit before or after an event at the Barclays. The decor of wood, old lights, and copper gives this place a warm vibe. If you want something a little more private, they have private room downstairs. It's a good option for casual or formal occasions. read more

A little piece of Amalfi, Italy, I am told by the company I'm with, who've been to Italy few times. In other words, this is the real thing, not the Americanized version. Our only mistake is that we came for drinks and desserts after having dinner in another place. We had Aperol Spritz- about 2 each. The best drink for a hot summer night post COVID, outdoor dining. We had two gelatos, hazelnut and pistachio. WOW. The hazelnut was like eating frozen nutella and the pistachio was absolutely amazing, delicate, flavorful, creamy yet not heavy. Delicious. My dessert was on the savory side... yes, just didn't feel like something sweet. I had an appetizer that I never heard of nor tasted before: Shaved artichoke hearts with shaved parmigiano and olive oil. That was an amazing surprise in every bite. It was crisp, lightly salted, and you could taste the quality of the EVOO, but it wasn't greasy, and the parmigiano of the highest quality. A day later, as I am writing this review, I still have the delicate, superb taste in my mouth, making it watery again... :) This one came with bread and olives in olive oil to the table... the best quality of olives and olive oil... again! Service was amazing. Attentive and friendly and so welcoming and relaxing. Some places these days, make you feel you should rush so that more business could come in. Not here. Taking your time, the Italian way. As I said initially, our only mistake was that we didn't have dinner here (and not because our diner wasn't good). So we definitely will come again. P.S. Because of COVID, they sanitize the restroom between users. That was impressive to me, as I didn't expect that, as the lady informed me I'll have to wait for her to sanitize before I go in. So... extra point for cleanliness! read more

Had dinner at 5pm earlier today with my friend. The place is quiet and peaceful. The plain wooden tables and chairs create a very homey and quaint atmosphere that my date and I rather liked. The servers were extremely polite and attentive. We decided upon the 48 oz steak for two people (which is fantastically huge btw - enough to sufficiently feed 3-4 people), and catching onto our uncertainty of ordering this particular menu item, the waiter brought out the raw block of meat on a cutting board to allow us to see the size of it. All throughout our dinner, the waiter (and chef and even the worker in charge of beverages) continued to keep an eye on us to make sure we were comfortable. The steak, like I mentioned earlier, is huge. It's beautiful. We ordered it medium rare, and it came to our table perfectly cooked. The meal comes with potatoes with rosemary and arugula salad. I definitely recommend this dish; I recommend this restaurant. read more

Convivium Osteria - The steak for two - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Excellent service and food/wines. The ambiance is welcoming. I return here a few times a year regularly.

DON'T GO HERE -- PLENTY OF BETTER OPTIONS If your idea of a gratifying and charming dining experience is to have your party of 3 shoved into a tiny table for 2, and when you take exception to this, you are met with defensiveness, belligerence, insult, tone-deafness, and are literally told by a manager, "That's what we have for you, take or leave it" {we left} -- oh, and if you've chosen this venue for a great friend's special birthday dinner, a fact that you have repeatedly related to the managers -- then Convivium Osteria on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn is just the place for you! Otherwise, I'd recommend trying one of the hundreds of other charming Italian eateries in the borough. read more

Best Italian food I've ever tried, the place is so nice and cozy, I like to celebrate my birthday in the very nice basement they have, really recommended for small celebrations, service is always amazing they are so friendly and kind.

Convivium Osteria - Grilled octopus - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just had a nice meal at Convivium. Still same great atmosphere. Still same great rustic food. But now the prices felt more reasonable (I think because rest of Park slope is getting so pricy). And now they take credit cards (beyond Amex). Woohoo! Still recommend this place for a nice romantic meal. The food is spot on. We had giant prawns cooked in salt, seafood salad, green apple ravioli with duck ragu - each one was flavorful, refreshing and perfectly executed. Will be back read more

Very romantic vibe, good for dates but it can get crowded and the food is tasty but not mind blowing. The specials were intriguing though

You can make a reservation for up to 8 people on Opentable. It is a large space with a big basement for seating. They can accommodate large groups but don't have high chairs for children. We tried the liver, lamb chop, gnudi, octopus and several of the pastas. All of the food was pretty good with my favorite being the octopus. read more

Convivium has long been a favorite of mine, and I have been going several times a year since shortly after it opened. However, I am very unlikely to return. A group of 6 of us had a reservation for 9 pm on New Year's Eve. All 6 were at the restaurant on time, and we checked in. We were told it would be a few minutes, and we should wait outside (on a chilly evening). About 10 minutes later, they told us the our table was being cleaned up--it would just be a few minutes. 10 minutes later than that, someone came by and said--it will be very soon. Then they seated another group of the same size that had arrived after us, and again, assured us we would be seated soon. By 9:40, several of us went in to see where things stood, and the manager, who was busy flirting with some young women at the bar, ignored us for several minutes. He then told us it was New Year's Eve, and that the computer had messed up making too many reservations (I love blaming the computer, not the folks who define the algorithm). At about 9:43 we were seated at a table under the only speaker on that floor of the restaurant, which was blasting music appropriate for a teenybopper event. We asked to have it turned down, nothing happened. We asked again, and it was turned down for about 5 minutes, then blasted again. It was difficult to hear each other and the waiter. The food took a while to come, and most folks were happy with what they ordered. I ordered my long term favorite ravioli dish, which was nowhere near the quality of what I've had so many times before. The duck (if it was duck) was heavily laden with salt, and the ravioli were stuffed with a filling that hadn't been mixed well. It wasn't terrible, but it was deeply disappointing compared to prior times I had eaten it. It saddens me that a long-term well run restaurant has turned into such a mess. Several of our party had been on previous New Years Eves, and said this experience was horrible compared to prior visits. Scratch this one off the list! read more

What a beautiful and cozy place. It's feels like you are truly back in Italy. Everything is amazing, every single salad on the menu is amazing, every appetizer is amazing, every hot dish is amazing. You don't have to think too long, just take one of each and you will absolutely enjoy every bite of it. And when you will come again order other dishes and you enjoy even more then first time. No wonder this place was featured in New York magazine as one of the most popular places in Park Slope for past two decades. PS You must try their Braised artichokes and Octopus salad, but ask for less onion...lol read more

Every dish we had here was nearly perfect. Oozing deliciousness. The food was not-quite-familiar, seemingly influenced by many countries around the mediterranean, maybe with Italy dominating. It all felt like nostalgic home cooking--but from an alternate reality in which you grew up in Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and your mom was a brilliant chef. It's also just about the nicest space I've seen for a Brooklyn storefront restaurant. The dining area downstairs is especially inviting, with glowing light, a cool breeze, and the comfort of being surrounded by floor-to-ceiling wine on all sides. read more

My boyfriend and I traveled from California and had dinner here at 9:00 pm on a Thursday. Other that two other ladies at a table, we had the place to ourselves. The staff let us stay past closing which was nice give how famished we were and how much wine and food we ate. I enjoyed the ravioli with a unique apple ingredient. And my unexpected favorite was the polenta. The tiramisu for dessert was also very delicious. read more

This review is for a dinner last week in the private dining room downstairs here. I have done private dinners on a regular basis for work and I would say that Convivium stands out as an excellent experience. Too often the danger of the private room is that you are out of sight and out of mind. Here I didn't feel that we were forgotten at all. Once our guests arrived, our server announced the courses and the entree choices. Before our program started, she took everyone's order and everything flowed smoothly from there. There was a nice variety of appetizers and everyone seemed to enjoy their entrees. There was a point when we were ready for the entrees to show up and once we asked and they were on the table within a few minutes. Private rooms often look like boring conference rooms, but having dinner in the downstairs room here is like eating in a wine cellar. Strike that, you are actually eating in a wine cellar. The owners obviously pride themselves on providing an authentic Italian dining experience and when you eat in this room, you can imagine being in a tasting room of a winery or villa in Italy. All of our attendees were thrilled with the dinner and stayed well after the program was done, an indication of much they enjoyed their experience. Our appetizers were served family style and included the baby kale salad with endive and cherry tomatoes; polenta with oyster mushrooms and taleggio cheese; grilled octopus; and a plate of smoked meats, cheese, and marcona almonds. The servings were quite generous for the table, but folks had no problem clearing their plates. Our entrees included red snapper prepared perfectly; gnudi with ricotta and spinach; rack of lamb; and Cornish hens. Most of the people at the table ordered the fish, but everyone raved about their main dish. For dessert, we got to try four different desserts. The flourless chocolate cake was divine and the apple tart was exceptional. Likewise the panna cotta was perfect and the berry tart was delicious. Together it was a fantastic ending for a wonderful meal. Thank you!! When I was looking to set up this dinner, I had a hard time finding a spot in Park Slope that could accommodate a large group and would be a draw for potential attendees. Convivium met the bill on both counts and was very responsive in setting up the event. If you are looking for great spot with outstanding service for a private event, I can recommend Osteria without hesitation. read more

Food was delicious! I had the Gnudi and it was to die for! Portion size was a little bit small for this particular dish but it was so tasty.

Would definitely go there again, but would likely try a different meal next time. read more

I have gone to Italy and ate such delicious Italian food and was never able to find that in New York- until I came to this place. My boyfriend brought me here for our anniversary and the food blew my mind. I got the Gnudi and it was absolutely delicious.
