OMG... Do you Love Italian Food? https://www.osteriaspringfield.com/ Osteria Downtown Springfield absolutely hits every point, from the beautiful setting and atmosphere to the first class service and outstanding food. My wife and I have definitely found our perfect "Date Night" spot. If you're looking for excellent quality, an intimate setting, and Amazing Italian Food, look no further than Osteria. Pictured here is the Rigatoni Vodka with Sausage and Cherry Peppers. Another very cool thing about Osteria, they support other local businesses. Their Italian sweet sausage is from Milano, and their produce is sourced from AC Produce... 2 Springfield favorites that are now providing great product for another soon to be Springfield Favorite... Osteria. As I was writing this review... Dessert came, and OOOOMMMMGGGG!!! Thank you Matt and Chef Tim for a wonderful experience and delicious meal, see you both soon. read more

We have been waiting in anticipation of this restaurant opening, since we are huge fans of BayKaya (the owner's original restaurant), and Osteria did not disappoint! Dark, intimate ambience with friendly service! Our waitress Lindsay was super attentive. Drinks were incredible. We got the burrata foccacia and Chef's Choice cheese/ meat plate along w/ the sausage and broccoli rabe for appetizers. All absolutely delicious! For entrees, my party each ordered something different- Carbonara, Anchovy Linguine Special, Short Rib, and Cacio di Pepe. Everyone was very satisfied and satiated by the end of our visit! I am already planning a return visit so we can try more off the menu because everything was so amazing! This place is great for meeting friends or a romantic night for 2. I know we will be frequenting this establishment. Thank you Chris for bringing even more life to Downtown! read more

Love this place!!! Came for lunch and really enjoyed both the Italian Beef Sandwich and the Potchetta Sandwiches. Great Italian Beef Sammy and some of the best Porchetta this side of Tuscany. Finished with a house made affogato with house made gelato. Caroline was our guide to deliciousness and fantastic server. We will be returning for dinner very soon as there's so many great menu items to be had! Style is very clean and sharp and can accommodate a casual lunch or special dinner. Easy parking in this area! Don't miss out on this gem if a place in the heart of Springfield!!! read more

Went to Osteria for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We were greeted immediately by a friendly host who gave us a choice of a high top or low table. We sat by the front window opposite a beautiful mural across the street. Our waitress, Kat, was great- very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Wine selection was nice . We started with a meatball small plate which was not small- took half home. Delicious meatballs- very moist and flavorful. We split a Caesar salad which was a good thing because it was very large. That too was fresh and delicious! Our entrees were salmon and a special-hanger steak which was cooked to perfection. Salmon was very tender and cooked perfectly served on tomato heirloom risotto. Would have loved to have dessert but we were very full. Highly recommend this place! read more

Second time here , and it was just as good as the first time ! Food was awesome . We ordered basically 2 of each course to try . We did the Burrata focaccia and arancini balls as an app accompanied by 2 extra dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives . So good. Next we did the classic Caesar salad and arugula salad . Scrumptious. For dinner , we ordered the cacio e Pepe and the ragu alla bolognese. Both were really good. Like a high class Mac And cheese and braised short rib ragu ahhh so good. Dessert we did 2 espresso martinis accompanied by a flight of gelato and the homemade zeppolis . Can't wait to eat here again. read more

Hours listed online as well as on the door that they are open for lunch, Thursdays and Fridays, 12-8. we arrived at 1:15 pm and door was locked. there was a person at the bar folding silverware and just ignored us. if the restaurant isn't open for lunch then maybe the website should be updated along with hours listed on the door. read more

The staff and our waitress were great. Very friendly and service was nice. The Cesar salad was also very good however we were charged $5 extra because my wife and I shared it along with our other appetizers. Which was a little frustrating considering we got 3 appetizers. The Cesar salad was the only thing we enjoyed. We got the chicken parm sliders, which were barely warm. Put on top of a stale Hawaiian roll which was odd and like I mentioned stale. My wife got carbonara and I got the cacio e Pepe and I also got the Vodka Rigatoni. All the pasta was over cooked. The vodka rigatoni had the chewy semi hard texture you get from microwaving pasta. Not to be confused with being al dente. Because it was far from that. Definitely jarred sauce. The only taste difference between my cacio e Pepe and her carbonara was the faint taste of black pepper it was all very lacking on any flavor at all. And The ambiance was tacky. Wanted to be nice but was far from it. The seating was very close. We felt as if we had to whisper to keep our conversations private. They had odd placed bedside looking tables with lamps that were definitely straight from or purposed for a cheap hotel with the usb outlets in them. We didn't order any cocktails because they were $16 which would be fine in a higher end establishment but definitely pricey for what you were getting. Would not recommend at all. You could tell it wasn't that we had a bad 1 time experience it was just not good. If you want decent Italian in Springfield don't bother trying this place. Just go to red rose or Costa. Good service friendly people terrible food. read more

What a beautiful restaurant. Lindsey was so accommodating to our large party. We had the loft space and Alex paid special attention to our group. We loved the food. Everyone of our dinners were amazing. We will be back! read more

Absolutely perfect gnocchi! Caesar salad was perfectly dressed. Both delicious! My friend had linguini muscles and it was LOADED with muscles! Unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice but there were at least 30 muscles...something rarely seen at a restaurant but Osteria definitely stepped up their game with this dish! read more

Our first time dining at Osteria and we were very pleased. The menu had a variety of Italian dishes. We started out with the vinaigrette salad. It was amazing! We ordered the Ragu Alla Bolognese with a side of meatballs. Delicious! Some of the best Italian meatballs I have ever eaten. And the Italian gravy!! Yummy! Our other guests were also pleased with their dishes of Shrimp Gran Marnier and the Black pepper short Rib. Cooked to perfection. The service was very good and the ambiance is very comfortable. Will definitely return. Thank you for an enjoyable dining experience. read more

I hosted a party of 14 guests on May 2nd. I reserved the private room upstairs. The room is spacious and very comfortable. We ordered appetizers, salads, cocktails, entrees and desserts. My guests were very happy with the entire dinner. The entrees were prepared and presented beautifully. Everything was delicious. The dressings, sauces were perfect. The servers were attentive and pleasant. Lyndsay, the owner, went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied with everything. I will be back. I highly recommend Osteria in Springfield. read more

Went tonight to celebrate my husbands birthday and had a great time. Good drink selection and full wine list. We had the meatballs as a starter and they were delicious!

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more

Something has changed at Osteria. If you had asked for my review a year ago I would have shared the same sentiments as many of these other positive reviews, however, last night was different and disapponting. We will not be back - not only because the food was sub-par and their service rude, but because they enforced a $5.00 splitting charge five times when our party of six shared certain dishes. When we questioned the extra $25 on our $500 bill, they were incredibly condescending. As hard-working professionals none of us have ever been treated in this way at a restaurant of this caliber and reputation. We got hollered at from across the room for getting too close to a delicate lime tree when we tried to take a picture. It was extremely embarrassing. I hope that this review will help the owner/manager reconsider the vodka pasta dish and risotto ball recipe, as well as the splitting charge - especially for high paying customers. I also would recommend some EQ/hospitality training for staff as well as a sign for the lime tree. read more

Came in for lunch on a Wednesday. It is a wonderful place with great food options. I ordered the Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich with a Caprese Salad on the side. Both items were delicious. The bartender, Lindsey, was excellent and I left a satisfied (and full) customer. Will definitely return. read more

Osteria - Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich with Caprese Salad. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

First time here on Valentine's Day. Seated upstairs - why when the downstairs is empty. No decor. Faux napkins. For a $169 bill cloth would be nice. Aracini and sausage rabe app were good. Short rib pappardelle pasty. Thick like it was precooked. The highlight were the "zeppoles". If the owner has ever been to the city he should know that these are not zeppoles. More like munchkins filled with goo and lemon. No regular coffee either. We were served 6 munchkins and left 5.5. Waitress knew they were subpar based on our comments but did nothing to compensate. This was Valentine's but also my birthday. Disappointed. Lacking ambiance and why were we upstairs. Waitstaff was pleasant but still will not be returning. read more

Warm welcome and fabulous service throughout the meal. Fun atmosphere and decor. Food was delicious. Like... super good. Drinks are great. Can't wait to go back for more! read more

I hosted a business dinner for 35 people and Osteria handled the night perfectly. I have received so much positive feedback from my guests, who ordered pretty much everything on the menu. The food was on point and the service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a meal. read more

We had the arancini and meatballs and both were dry and lacked flavor. My friend ordered a salad and they substituted some ingredients on the original salad with other ingredients because they were out of the ingredients in the salad she ordered. However, they did not notify her of this and brought out the salad with the substituted ingredients and ever brought it to her attention. They did remove the salad from the bill but for 2 appetizers and 3 drinks...our bill was $80 which was pricey for the quality/taste of the food. read more

I was in town for a couple of days on a business trip and stopped in Osteria for lunch on my way to the airport. What a pleasant experience! The carbonara was perfect, creamy and delicious with bits of crispy pork. The Caesar salad's dressing was authentic and the lettuce and croutons were crisp, just as they should be. The fresh bread smelled and tasted great. The server was friendly and caring without hovering. This is a fairly new restaurant in Springfield and it was an experience. I really enjoyed. I would recommend it to anyone looking for good Italian food. read more

Fantastic service, great food, great drinks. Be sure to check out this new restaurant in down town Springfield.

Just left Osteria Springfield having an early bday dinner for my husband and I am so impressed. We had talked with the chef from Bar Kaya a while back before he opened this place and his vision did not disappoint. I only regret not going sooner. The food is unbelievable and has more of an NYC vibe than Western Mass but the prices are stil so reasonable. Our server Kat was great and I can't wait to go back and will ask for her every time. Actually all of the servers and bartenders were so welcoming. I got the pesto dish and added sausage and cherry peppers so it was spicy as hell but I couldn't stop eating it, the pasta is so good! And the zeppoles were out of this world. They do $10 plates on Mondays so I'm looking forward to bringing our fam. Definitely a must try read more

The food was great. The staff was awesome small little hole in the wall. We just happen to drive-by and find it.. I think if they advertise it a little better or if it was on the main road, it would be one of Springfield best read more

Was in Springfield on a business trip. Saw this new spot apparently they just opened about a month ago. Great service and atmosphere. The food was amazing. Got the Linguine Mussels, it was really fresh and good size meal. Will be back again in the future. read more

We went for the first time last night for our anniversary dinner. We did make reservations in advance and were sat promptly. We were greeted by our server, Zoe who was very sweet! She guided us through the menu with great suggestions from appetizers to desserts. The cocktails, wine and food were out outstanding! I had to take a box for both my entree and my dessert. Don't skip dessert, the zeppoles and panna cotta were so fresh and tasty. The Manager was kind enough to send over 2 glasses of champagne for our special occasion. We will definitely be back and be sure to ask for Zoe again! read more

Had a great meal here on Labor Day. Great staff and the food was outstanding!! Definitely will come back.

Fabulous venu. / service fantastic. Real authentic Italian food Must visit if you're in Springfield.

The food was mediocre to poor, pricey with limited options. Beer choices nonexistent and wine served in water glasses. My wife and I went in early for a light meal. She ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered a carbonara. We shared bites from each others plates and were charged $10 for sharing. The service was mediocre. Menu said to ask your server about beer choices and she was clueless. Ambiance isn't worth mentioning. If you sit near the bar you will listen to an extraordinarily loud bartender/manager who has one volume. Loud. Overall, a major disappointment. A truck stop that isn't up to par. read more

Horrible treatment of family with disability! The hostess would not seat our family because out disabled child was not dressed in a manner she approved. What a disgrace! Di not support a place like this, that discriminates against groups of our society! read more

I usually like to see more reviews before I try out a restaurant, but gave this place a shot anyway. There were 8 in our party and we tried a lot of different items on the menu. There was basil pasta, veal chop, braised short ribs, butatta cheese and everybody was extremely pleased. This wasn't your typical same ol', same ol' Italian restaurant. These dishes were prepared with attention and the flavors were exceptional. Will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

We sat at the bar and our service was good. One of my guests chicken was fried too crispy which they sent back for another. it ended up to be the wrong entree which they did correct. The food is good but too pricey for "sandwiches'. But my major complaint is that I ordered a coffee, then a refill and I was charged $14.00......for 2 cups of coffee?!?!. We probably won't go back. read more

Overall really great restaurant, we will be back! Their cocktail list was amazing. I love when places have specialty cocktails with unique fresh ingredients. My husband had the spicy margarita and I had a virgin blackberry bramble. We started with the charcuterie board appetizer, it was excellent and presentation was top notch. My husband had their shrimp and Angel hair pasta dish which was fine, but a little bland. I had the rigatoni vodka which was absolutely delicious. Although just personal preference, I wish there was more of that vodka sauce kick. It was more of a tomato cream sauce. We finished off with the zeppoles which were sooo tasty. All of the staff was kind and attentive. The vibe of the restaurant was nice but I hope they do a little more with it (they are still very new). The food came out very fast, almost too fast though as we were still eating our appetizer when the entrees came out and the table was very small. Honestly I'd say 8/10! Can't wait to go back. read more
