Finally tried Madison's osteria trevi. Called for a reservation, the service is good and the pasta is fresh and good. They have an extensive special menu that was great - the ravioli with sausage was a special. Portion of the cacio e Pepe was generous read more

The food was excellent. The meatballs melted in your mouth. The Cacio e Pepe was delicious. The calamari and the orichetta pasta with beef Ragu (it was a special I think) was the best. Will definitely be going back here read more

Osteria Trevi is a small restaurant that gives a great authentic meal. I have been there many times and it is always friendly, yummy and doesn't break the bank. BYO helps keep the costs down. My recommendation is the Duck. It seems strange that an Italian restaurant would have the duck be one of the house specials, but you won't regret ordering. read more

The food is excellent, consistent, never sent a meal back, never disappointed, never feel rushed, the staff is welcoming, professional, and attentive. The owner Vinnie and manager Enzo make you feel at home. Ambiance is plain but comfortable. My wife and I have been to many restaurants within a 10 mile radius, we keep coming back. Price is reasonable, BYOB read more

Local Italian that always seems to be busy. Food is consistently good and service is terrific. It's a BYOB which is nice. Recently went with another couple. My wife and I shared a fried calamari and it was very good. Our friends shared the meatball appetizer and enjoyed it. For mains my wife had the grilled salmon and said it was excellent. My buddy and I both had the baccalla special, which traditionally is dried salt cod that's reconstituted, but in this case it was fresh cod. Also very good. Its a place we will be returning to. read more

Haven't been here in a few years and glad we came back. This time the service was much more friendly and the food was very good. I usually don't order desert but glad we did this time. Overall a very good experience. Meatballs are great, and the coconut shrimp was also delicious. Pastas were very good. Can't wait to try more menu items. read more

We went to Osteria Trevi for the first time and were really pleased with the service and the food. We shared tri color salads - very fresh with a light dressing. Then we had salmon with broccoli rabe and cannellini beans - really delish. My friend had pasta with cauliflower and garlic breadcrumbs which was exceptional. Then dessert was lemon torte for her and bread pudding for me. Excellent every course and good coffee too. We're definitely planning a return trip. Fran read more

Was looking forward to eating here for some time now. impromptu dinner out tonight, the food was very good. Could have been a regular go to but unfortunately we spent our evening listening to the owner or manager talking politics with a customers table our entire meal. No class, no concern for other people in the room who are paying for their meal. its not your living room, leave your options home, it's a place of business, people come to escape that crap. fail. we won't be back. read more

First time at restaurant. Excellent, attentive service. My lemon sole was done beautifully, plated with carrots, zucchini, and the tastiest mashed potatoes I've had in a long time. Tiramisu was okay, nothing special. My dinner companion ordered the cacio e pepe which he enjoyed but recognized the limitations of this dish. He was very happy with the Italian cheesecake, noting a light touch of lemon adding to the experience. Attractive interior, although the acoustics got very live as the place filled up. Looks like they have a loyal following. I'd like to try this place for lunch. read more

We held a dinner party there for our 25th anniversary with 14 people. Everyone enjoyed the food and had a good time in a relaxed atmosphere. Care was taken with our wines and the service was top notch. Osteria Trevi was a good choice. read more

Beautiful elegant Italian restaurant with top notch dishes. Excellent food and atmosphere.

Hands down the best meal we have had in a long time. The restaurant owner was on hand and ensured service and food were top notch. We were all happy with our meal selections which ranged from calamari, to duck. The meatballs are definitely a must -- do yourself a favor and order them! It was so good we already made reservations to celebrate a meal together next month. I can't wait to tomback read more

Great Italian restaurant. The food is excellent no matter what you order is great. Wee were a party of six and tried many of the appetizers, entries and desert. If you like loin lamb chops, they serve the biggest 3 chops I have seen, cooked perfectly. For desert, try the house made bread pudding. The service is great. read more

So disappointed with this place we got there and they didn't even greeted us. The server was already shaking his head and gave us a dirty look because We didn't have a reservation. Then the other server said ok wait let me see if we can do something about it , he didnt even look like he was trying to get us a table after 5 mins he told us they can't do anything and for us to leave. I have never felt so disrespected before. Thank God there was a place near by with better reviews and with awesome food . The staff took us with out a reservation and all the staff was friendly and welcoming. i will never go to osteria trevi again. read more

Went to Osteria Trevi for dinner last Saturday after seeing White Christmas at the Papermill Playhouse. Dinner was exceptional. We enjoyed the Pollo a la Trevi special and Eggplant Parmesan. Both were simply delicious. Wonderful restaurant if you are looking for warm and welcoming ambiance, attentive service, and a wonderful meal. Great experience and highly recommend! read more

We had delicious meals and friendly service. Looking forward to our return visit. Felt we were welcome guests read more

My husband and I got lucky and were able to snag a last minute dinner reservation for two on a Friday evening. We shared a fresh antipasto salad and both enjoyed separate seafood pasta entrees. The small restaurant was packed and it was nice to see so many regular customers chatting with the host and servers. The menu offers a great variety and we noticed many ordered the cacio e pepe. We will definitely return for that! Plus it's byob! read more

Thanks to all the solid Yelp reviews and recommendation by my colleague, I chose Osteria Trevi for a business lunch with large party in Madison. I was pleasantly delighted with one of our best dining experiences. Owner and wait staff were helpful and accommodating with vegetarian requests from our guests. We had a large spread of appetizers and lunch entrees. bruschetta and eggplant Parm apps were remarkable. For the main entree i tried their classic pasta with marinara sauce and it was good. Homemade desserts of zabaglione and tiramisu were out of this world. Personal attention by the owner was appreciated very much by the group. It's rare to find a comfortable restaurant with attentive service and high quality food like you'll find here. If we are ever in Madison again, will definitely stop in and enjoy a meal at this place! BTW, This is also BYOB and cork fees. You can't go wrong here! read more

In a town with plenty of choices for Italian restaurants, Osteria Trevi had many local, repeat customers. The risotto was delicious, with the best sweet sausage. I loved it! I'll be back!! read more

Osteria Trevi - Cannoli- a perfect finish to my meal. I had the risotto, which was fabulous, with the best sweet sausage. - Italian Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

Food was ok. Service was rushed. They were removing plates before the food was done. Prices went up but portions were very stingy. $17 calamari appetizers and you only got a cup full. Food portions were small and the sides were very small. Food is more expensive but don't reduce the portions ...it was embarrassing. Not worth goin out to eat at this time. read more

A great Italian experience. Even at an early dinner hour in summer, the restaurant was crowded. The special, chicken cacciatore, was the best I have tasted. Great pasta dishes as well. read more

Nothing bad to say about this place- I got take out and came in and my food was ready. They also threw in a free cobb salad, which was bomb. I got the spicy pasta and while I will say I don't think it was actually spicy by my standards, the meat and sauce were good. The potato soup was massive and really good as well. Friendly service! read more

We had been very good and frequent customers of trevi. That being said, there seems to be a large portion of their business coming down from Bergen County, where the owners had a previous successful restaurant. These people seem to garner all the attention of the staff. I wanted to take my wife out for our anniversary, and was lucky enough to get a reservation at trevi. We started by having the salad off the specials menu, which was very good but we had it split, to which there was a charge for. Entrees consisted of us both ordering from the specials. My wife had pasta with sausage, broccoli rabe, beans in a garlic sauce. It was delicious. I had the duck special over risotto. Very delicious as well. We skipped dessert. The restaurant became very busy as dinner progressed with commiserate noise levels. read more

Osteria Trevi - Pasta special - Italian Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

I was very excited to try Osteria Trevi, I had heard great things from a few different people. The service was great. We brought our toddler with us and the whole staff went out of their way to say hello to our little one and make him laugh. Everything inside was nice and fit perfectly for an Italian restaurant, we weren't rushed and everything came out well paced. Now, the food. We ordered burrata which came with an glazed eggplant and something else (not sure what) but it was great. Our second appetizer was the polpette. Now as an Italian myself I judge meatballs like I'm the Gordon Ramsay of meatballs. With that being said, they were great. Definitely a 3 meat mix, well seasoned, the tomato sauce was fresh and exactly what I enjoy. For dinner I ordered cacio e' pepe. It's such a simple dish but so easy to not do well. I'm a sucker for showmanship and watching them toss the pasta around in big cheese wheel, can't beat it. It also tastes fantastic. I added some red pepper also. My wife got mezza rigatoni with spicy sausage ragu (I can't recall the exact name). Another dish that was on the money. She likes her pasta more cooked then al dente but that's a preference not a complaint, next time we know to mention that. Before we left we booked a date to host a family party we're having later this year. So yes, we enjoyed the experience. 5 stars for sure read more

Overall, this was a good meal but not the best meal I've ever had. The eggplant parm app was delicious, perfect to share between two people. The Caesar salad is severely lacking. It seems like lettuce and croutons, without any evidence of dressing, capers, anchovies, anything. The cacio e pepe was good, but not amazing. I would go back because it's local and BYOB. read more

Excellent place to dine! I had the pleasure and was extremely happy with the service and food. They are a real classic Italian restaurant vibe, starts with a very warm welcome , moves quickly to the sensory delights of the menu and ends with coffee and a mildly hefty bill. All is well worth it , I'd come back in less than a month and that says a lot because I like discovering new places I'd say it is more slightly upscale European or metro vibe. I would go for low key dressy or business attire. Outside dining looks is well set up with high and very strong tenting and heating. read more

Impromptu night with a girlfriend of meatballs and ricotta , perfect CACIO e Pepe and branzino made for an amazing meal ... we will be back

Dinner at Osteria Trevi on a Saturday night at 7PM. The Calamari was OK, average at best served in a paper lined metal basket about the size of a 10oz coffee cup with a small bowl of tomato sauce - small portion for $17. The cooking time was spot on, the flavor not so much, including the sprinkle of salt that dressed them. My wife had the tri color salad - a few greens (nice and fresh) with a light dressing that was hardly noticeable and garnished with three thin slices of cheese that were about one by three inches - if that for $13. The lobster ravioli in pink sauce were under cooked and virtually empty - one ravioli did have a tiny piece of lobster in it - the ravioli did not have any other filling such as squash or ricotta as they lay there flat in a flavorless pink sauce. I tried one them from my wife's dish and was disappointed by an empty shell of pasta and one of the worst empty ravioli I have ever sampled. - $29 I had the chicken campagnola with sausage which is three small slices of chicken breast in an opaque flavorless sauce (actually goo would be more accurate) that seemed like a mixture of water and cornstarch flavored with nothing. There were a few pieces of mushroom and a piece of cherry pepper. The dish came with sausage mixed in with the chicken. There were three tiny pieces of thin sausage that were the diameter of a nickel and worth almost as much. There were a couple of pieces of boiled carrot and squash under the chicken - which were cooked well but bland. Also, there was a small scoop of mashed potatoes that made me long for my high school cafeteria. $29. I wanted to like this place but at no point did my wife or I think any dish was good. We were in and out in just more than an hour as the food hit the table quickly and the entree followed my appetizer with barely a moment between the two. The bread they served was enjoyable and unfortunately the highlight of the dinner. Dessert was a no thank you after our dinner experience. I do not expect perfection - but do expect edible. Also worth noting is that the restaurant is located below a dance studio so that you can enjoy the sound of shoes pounding the ceiling above you. Its a noisy restaurant to start as the tables are at most a foot apart lined up against the wall. The bill plus tax and 20% gratuity was $115.00 Its BYOB and if you dare go bring a beverage - you will need it. My lowest standard for a restaurant is -- would I eat here it if it was free? NO I would not. read more

First time at this BYO restaurant. Nice ambiance and friendly wait staff. Had the crispy duck - excellent! My daughter had the spicy Penne with meat sauce, ado excellent! Then my other daughter had pasta with seafood, not so good - I give that a 2-3. It was quite fishy. Gorgonzola salad was to die for. Will be back for sure! read more
