    Stopped by and caught a World Cup match outside. Very cute place. I'd recommend this place for summer cocktails, they had a great number of spritzes. I thought the Katerina peach salad was a bit overpriced for what you get though it was tasty. Also had the burrata and prosciutto and enjoyed the fig. Super lax locale. Would reccomend stopping by for low key drinks and apps. They have a lot of pizza options also but I didn't try

    10/10 experience, from flavors of the pizza to their beautiful salads, this spot is one of your top italian spots in Brooklyn. Cannot miss, great for all group sizes when weather gets better there is an outdoor option too. Drinks are great, white wine is the way to go. Do not sleep on the eggplant Parmigiana, my favorite dish first time trying. Also, great service, very friendly and respectful. Cannot wait to return and try more!

    A Night to Remember at Osteria Brooklyn...I recently had the pleasure of dining at Osteria Brooklyn, located in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. My experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on the menu items I had the pleasure of trying. *Osteria On Fire: A bold and spicy cocktail that added a thrilling dimension to my meal. The drink was expertly crafted, with a spicy kick that left me breathless. And the best part? The fire show that accompanied it was a true spectacle! We also tried the Navy Yard cocktail, which I personally preferred more-so. *Beets Salad: A refreshing and light option that provided a welcome contrast to the richer dishes. The beets were cooked to perfection, and the dressing added a tangy zip, especially it's being topped with pistachio crumbs, and granola cheese. *Octopus Carpaccio!: A masterclass in texture and flavor. The octopus was tender and delicate, paired with a citrusy sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. *Fettuccine Osteria: A creamy, indulgent pasta dish that was both comforting and sophisticated. The fettuccine was cooked al dente, and the sauce was rich and velvety. Don't forget to add truffles to make it even more cheesy! *Pappardelle Oxtail Ragu: (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) A hearty, slow-cooked stew that fell apart at the touch of a fork. The oxtail was tender and flavorful, and the pappardelle provided a perfect base for the ragu. I can't wait to return and have it again...my mouth is still watering! *Bread Pudding: A sweet and satisfying dessert that provided a welcome conclusion to the meal. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the pudding was creamy and indulgent. It was topped with pistachio ice cream. *Profiteroles: A classic dessert with a modern twist. The profiteroles were light and airy, filled with a rich and creamy filling with pistachio ice cream. Overall, my experience at Osteria Brooklyn was outstanding. Nathalia Cedeno's service TOP NOTCH, she was attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Be sure to try the Navy Yard and Osteria On Fire cocktails - you won't be disappointed! They also have garden and outdoor seating options available.

    There is no short supply of good Italian food in NYC. As elevated small plate Italian restaurants continue to materialize in Manhattan, family style restaurants like Osteria are also popping up to serve working class families. The waitstaff when I visited were all Hispanic (typical of the hospitality industry), but the recipes are still classic Italian. Ambiance is relaxed and staff are friendly and non-intrusive. My favorite dish of the night was the Spaghetti Fra Diavolo, a tomato based seafood pasta with plenty of seafood and tasty pasta sauce. The salmon is a close second, perfectly cooked and served with a delightful kale puree and mustard sauce. The only dish that I found underwhelming was the cacio e pepe. Everything else was good, served in big portions and reasonably priced. And to end the meal, a waiter comes over with a plastic tray of faux desserts to choose from (genius sales tactic). Originally, my family wanted to get one dessert and ended up getting two. I can't wait to come back for a second round of their seafood pasta. And maybe some profiteroles. It's not hard to get a last minute reservation and it's a great family dinner Italian spot.

    This spot has three locations across Brooklyn and Queens! I visited this Brooklyn location for a Sunday lunch and dived into their refreshing drinks and food. The Osteria Brooklyn cocktail was big and really well balanced! The apps were both classic quality picks. The meatballs were juicy and cheesy and the fried calamari was lightly salted.The pasta was very cheesy of course as it got tossed in the wheel, but was nice and hot. I love the texture of the pasta noodles too. The Rustica pizza had a nice oily pesto base with bits of sausage and potatoes on top. And the Tiramisu dessert was so creamy and had just enough espresso flavor in it. There was a bit of a language barrier with the servers, so it was hard to communicate with them sometimes, but they still did a great job bringing food to the table. It's also quite big inside and they have a nice bar area and pizza oven view. My only con is that the prices here are quite high for food that can be found at other spots for cheaper!

    My first restaurant for 2025 and I couldn't be more pleased! Wanted to take a friend for lunch and Italian is her fave, so I was hoping for good, quality authentic food and glad I chose Osteria! It's a quaint restaurant from the outside, I almost passed it, but it is a really cute spot with plenty of seating/space. I like the cute little decors inside, feels very homey. The service was good. Nothing over the top but no complaints. Drinks: my friend had an old fashioned and I had the "Osteria on fire". Our drinks were good, we both ordered a second round. Food: everything was so fresh and delicious! I can't wait to go back! I started with the grilled calamari which is served over risotto. It was SO good! All the flavors just combined perfectly! This dish could probably fill you like an entree. My friend had the caprese which was really good as well. All ingredients were fresh. For entrees I had the "risotto ai frutti di mare" which is a seafood risotto. It was very good and flavorful. My friend had the "fettuccine Osteria" with a side of grilled chicken. Everything was really good! We especially enjoyed the show of having the fettuccine made table side in the cheese bowl. My friend loved everything about Osteria! We will definitely be back and would certainly recommend.

    I have never had a bad time at Osteria. It has become a staple for my fiancé and I to visit here every once in a while. Sometimes it is just the two of us, and other times we will bring friends - in any situation, Osteria is a good choice. It is an incredibly cozy and comforting spot to visit in the colder months. I have loved every cocktail and wine choice I've gotten from all my times visiting here - you can't really go wrong. The Fettucine Osteria is one of THE best pastas I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. They make it beside your table so like, dinner and a show vibes. I always give a little clap after. The performance is always enchanting. They shave truffles on it and the flavor is actually just unbelievable. It is 10/10. My fiancé says the burger is also incredible here. He says to bear with him - he understands this is an Italian spot, but he really can't go wrong with the burger. It's a tried and true and consistently impressive option for him. He loves that the bacon comes on the burger automatically instead of having it as an upcharge, a rarity these days. Last time we went, we shared a caprese for the table. It was great to split between the 4 of us, and the ingredients were exceptionally fresh. If you're looking for a cute and cozy date night or are meeting some friends out on a colder winter month, def check out Osteria.

    Honestly this place was pretty mediocre. I was very dissatisfied with the special which was a steak and mushrooms for 45$. The food had no flavor. The charcuterie & cheese plate was very basic. For the price I would at least expect two types of cheese maybe one soft and one hard but no it had three meats, 4 grapes, and one type of cheese cut like French fries. The host was not the friendliest and the drinks were not tasty at all. This was not the most enjoyable experience, for the price I feel like things could be a lot better.

    Everything tasted so good! You have to come here. All of the dishes tasted fresh and the flavors were so dynamic. The oxtail pasta, spicy crab ravioli, and seafood risotto were absolutely delicious. The meatball was really good too. Even the bread for the table was great. Everything I ate I wanted more. The drinks were really good too. Well balanced and made with real juices. The staff was so nice and they made my birthday really special. I will be back!

    This is by far the best Italian place I've ever been to. It was quiet inside and not super busy but it was later in the evening. Our waiter was super nice and attentive. Food came out fast and we all loved our dinners. I ordered the Malloreddus Cavatelli and it was DELICIOUS! Such great flavor. It was a good portion size and was decently filling. We will definitely be back next time we're in New York as this place is the best!

    3.75* stars. This would be a review of their new LIC location (no yelp page yet). I've been meaning to check out this place now that Piatto [thankfully] vacated the place and am glad to say we've definitely traded up! Very fair pricing, great food... and slowish service that hopefully is still getting worked on. I came in around 4:30pm on a Saturday when my folks were visiting for my birthday. Given the time [early bird special], there weren't many other tables taken, but service was pretty 'relaxed' throughout our dinner. Also notable, it was...a bit drafty, given that it was 25ish degrees out, but was still rather chilly inside. That said, Osteria Brooklyn's food is spot on. We got: Apps: Grilled Calamari - herbed grilled calamari with saffron risotto: I've never had this preparation of calamari, but god damn was this tasty. Loved the seasoning on the calamari and the risotto was super flavorful. Pulpo al Carbone - garbanzo beans, olives, and jalapenos - the chickpeas and spread on this dish was delightful, along with the perfectly cooked octopus. delish. Mains: Both of my folks got the Branzino al Forno with potatoes - I got to try some of the fish, and it was cooked to perfection! I opted for the famed Pappardelle & Ossobucco with lamb shank and goat cheese pastata. Good lord, this is one decadently delicious dish. Portion size was very generous and the lamb was [sorry for the cliche] fall-off-the-bone tender, and al dente pappardelle. And I am just obsessed with all things goat cheese, so this dish just hit on all points for me. Glorious. Desserts: I happen to love bread pudding, and I'd advise any/all fellow addicts to get the Budino di Pane, traditional Italian bread pudding and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thiiiiiick and delightful. My dad also wanted some tiramisu, which I liked...but like I said, I'm all about that puddin. I was the only one to indulge in a drink, which was a vodka martini - it was fine, a little underpoured, but still fine. My dad and I also got espressos with our desserts, which were very good and strong. All in all, I have hopes for LIC's version of Osteria Brooklyn. The service could use a bit more pep in their step (but totally hospitable, helpful, nice, etc.), and maybe pay a bit more attention to the thermostat...but damn good food and an exciting new addition to the LIC waterfront dinning scene.

The room is small and romantic, homemade pasta hangs in the front window, and the whole evening felt less like dining out and more like being invited into someone's family table in Florence. We started with the fritto misto, a well executed mix of fried fish and vegetables, alongside an insalata caprese that let fresh tomatoes, burrata and basil speak for themselves. From there we went family style, which is really the only way to do it here. The bucatini cacio e pepe was as much performance as dish, mixed tableside directly in the cheese wheel. The fusilloni di Gragnano from Puglia paired scampi with burrata, cherry tomatoes and arugula for a bright, briny plate, while the tagliatelle verdi brought a rich wild boar ragu finished with fresh black truffle. The two standouts, though, were the agnolotti ossobuco with veal sauce and pecorino fondue rounded out with thyme and lemon, and the lasagna Bolognese. That lasagna, layered with meat ragu, tomato and bechamel, may be the best I have ever had. We paired the meal with a bottle of Salvioni 2022 Rosso di Montalcino, aromatic and beautifully matched to the food. The space is cozy and intimate rather than sprawling, so a reservation is a smart call. Everything else, from the food to the atmosphere to the sense that someone's nonna was cooking just for us, made this one of the most memorable meals in NYC. We would return without hesitation.

Overall it was good, but the combination needed better balance. The gorgonzola had a pretty aggressive bite, and paired with the saltiness of the prosciutto it became a little much. There were some greens underneath, and once I incorporated those into each bite, they mellowed everything out considerably. I actually think the greens needed to be treated as part of the dish rather than essentially garnish. For my entrée I had the special, a risotto with clams and octopus. The octopus was easily the best part. The clams were extremely small and pretty average, to the point that I'm not sure they added much to the dish at all. The risotto itself was also surprisingly bland and not particularly enjoyable on its own. Mixed with the octopus, however, it worked much better and became a genuinely enjoyable bite. That's ultimately where the dish felt a little uneven: the strongest component was carrying the rest of the plate rather than everything working together. Service was fine when I arrived, but became noticeably slower once the outdoor seating filled up. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor sections, but appeared to have only two servers, with the hostess also serving and a barback supporting the operation. Once the patio got busy, most of the staff's attention shifted outside and the indoor dining room received considerably less attention. Nobody seemed lazy or inattentive individually. It simply looked understaffed for the number of tables they were trying to cover. One additional server during the busy period probably would have made a substantial difference. And, admittedly a minor thing, an Italian restaurant having limoncello but no amaretto was disappointing. Nothing here was terrible. The appetizer had good ideas, the octopus was quite good, and the meal had several enjoyable moments. The food and service were just inconsistent enough that I couldn't quite call it a strong three-star experience, but it was close. I'd put it around 2.75 stars, which I'm comfortable rounding to three.

Of course, we did what we always do; showed up without a reservation haha... It was packed, and the hostess told us the was no way they could seat us. Defeated, we went outside ans sat on a bench trying to figure out our next move. Then the unimaginable happened. One of the people running the floor passed us outside, started chatting with us, and said, "let me double-check". A few minutes later, he came back and got us a table! He make sure we understood that we only had it for a short window bc they needed it back at a certain time -- but we got at least hour and a half to enjoy it so we were THRILLED. To us that was more than enough. He really went out of his way to make it happen, and honestly wish I remembered his name so I could give him the credit he deserves. And the service from there was outstanding. Even though we knew we had a time restriction, we never felt rushed or hurried for a second. Everything felt relaxed, attentive, and perfectly paced, which made them whole experience even better. Once we sat down, we started ordering as quickly as possible. The grilled clams were insanely good -- flavorful and with just the right little kick. The Nduja & sungold tomato toast was surprise favorite. The tomatoes were so juicy, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Simple, but SO good. The little gem salad was fresh, crunchy and exactly what we needed in between all the richer dishes. For pastas, I had the mafaldini with parmigiano, one of their signatures, and it was delicious. BUT... I have to give the win to my husband's pick, rigatoni alla diavola. I know they are completely different dishes, and Im usually a white-sauce kind of girl, but there was something about that bold, spicy flavor that just HIT THE SPOT. And dessert... The vanilla soft serve gelato and the warm rasberry tart together were the perfect combination -- creamy, warm, fruity, and just the right way to finish our lucky dinner. Lilia was absolutely worth the wait and definitely lived up to the hype. Another Brooklyn spot checked off the list -- and one I'd happily go back to.

Dessert: they definitely don't skimp on the dessert, we each got our own but the gelato options were definitely shareable. They also had amaro options which I always appreciate but didn't get this time. The space was a little cramped indoors though that didn't bother me as much as the temperature. It was a really hot summer day and I don't think they had air conditioning? Or if they did it definitely was not at an ideal temperature as I didn't feel like there was much air circulation.

I arrived with my friend on a Wednesday evening about 6 PM and there were some scattered tables but by 7 PM it was mobbed (pun intended ) in there!! our waiter was affable and patient and a quite enjoyable fellow. As a sidenote, you will not find any female servers they are all male which l lends to the old school vibe in my opinion. My friend ordered the lamb chops with broccoli Rabe. He enjoyed them but did mention that though they had great flavor one of them was slightly tough... It happens... My meal was pasta with Bolognese sauce with a dollop of fresh ricotta on top. It was delicious actually the sauce was excellent. I would've liked to have a different pasta shape but they did not have it. No biggie. I could really say the food was very good but it was not excellent but for me that was not an issue as I fell in love with the place itself. The service was excellent and the ambience was fantastic! I would definitely return again and I highly recommend it if you have never been you must at least go one time!!
