    Dougie is a genius. The decor is beautiful. The food is out of this world. If you haven't been here yet, make a reservation tonight. Your appetite will thank you.

    My friend and I ate dinner here tonight for the first time. The restaurant is super easy to find and right off the highway in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking all around the plaza. I was greeted right away and asked if I wanted to sit in the dining room or at the bar which has high top tables we opted for the dining room. For smaller place there's a surprising amount of seating. we started with the drinks I ordered the blood orange martini, and my friend ordered a glass of rosé. Being a bit of a wine freak I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive wine list. One of these surprises included a muller thurgau by the glass from alto adige - for sure going to explore more of the wine list next time we visit. Onto the food I love a good Bolognese however I've never seen a meat and lobster combo. I was curious, the server had great things to say about it, and I'm so glad I ordered it for dinner. While you wouldn't think lobster and oxtail go together, it's clear from this dish that they were meant to be. It's generously portioned, rich and filling, but never fear - they have to go boxes if you're unable to finish your meal like I was. My friend ordered the Cacio e Pepe and said it was really good. Overall, the service was excellent, and the food phenomenal. We will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu!

    Osteria Vivo, a hidden gem in Pembroke! WOW first time here at Osteria Vivo and I can't wait to come back. A little hidden gem in Pembroke. Came here with some friends before a concert at the Soundcheck Studios. I was blown away by the restaurant's ambiance and heard such great things about this place already, I knew I had to check it out. White tablecloths, excellent service, fantastic wine and cocktail menu, the food was also a star of this restaurant. Our server Kevin was great. He was really on top of things which you don't see often. We started off with the tuna tartare and the meatball. I thought my husband was going to eat the whole meatball himself it was so good. And, the sauce...yes get out your bread and just dip, that's all I have to say. It was amazing! I still think about it today. For entrees, I had their Salmon which was good and the presentation was to be noted here. My hubby had their Chicken Parm, and he said it was also good. Too bad we did not have time to stay for dessert, but here is our reason to come back again. Cheers~

    I had high expectations based on reviews and expectations were met! Our meal was great from start to finish. The hostess was extremely friendly and inviting, as was the restaurant itself. Our waitress was very attentive. And the food was outstanding. We ordered the brown butter gnocchi side as an appetizer along with the burrata. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious, and full of flavor. We were surprised it didn't come as a main. However it is a heavy dish so we're glad we had it as an appetizer. The burrata was refreshing with the blueberry compote but O wish it came with more bread, as there is no serving bread provided. For a main, I had the duck which was phenomenal. Duck was cooked to perfection, tender on the inside and seared to a perfect crisp. It paired well with the date puree. It also came with 4 pumpkin agnolottis- one did not have enough filling. The agnolottis seemed either dry or a bit under cooked. But the pumpkin filling was delicious. The sausage that also comes with the dish is random but also really good! You can tell it's house made and made fresh. My companions ordered the veal Milanese for which she raved about. And the other ordered the pasta pomodoro which she also rated highly The ricotta blueberry cheesecake was so good and light! We also enjoyed the chocolate molten lava cake, which I would say is on the drier side. I cannot wait to come back to try the other items on the menu!

    Incredible food and service. Every dish creative well presented and delicious. Chef is owner. Female bartender delightful.

    Pasta carbonara (half portion)
    Kristen M.

    Tried Osteria this weekend for the first time. We went in right as they opened a little after four. The desk staff seemed a little confused and it could be because they are newer. The entire restaurant was empty but she had to "check" if we were able to be seated. Inevitably we were, just at the tiniest tightest table. We asked our server if we could move and he said yes absolutely. The menu looks great and had a good amount of choices. We went with splitting an app, entree and desert. The app we chose was the arancini. INCREDIBLE. So cheesy and so much flavor and crunch. The entree we chose was the carbonara, we kept it classic. The flavor of the sauce was fantastic but honestly the pasta was undercooked. We still ate all of it but I wish it was a little softer. For the desert we got the coffee caramel tiramisu. That was to die for!! So full of rich and decadent flavor it was different and truly delicious. Overall the vibe here is low key, they're playing some soft Italian music on the radio. Lots of Italian Esque decor with a full mural of Italy in black and white on the dining area wall. The wait staff and food runners were super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back and try different things on the menu

    Osteria is located in Pembroke, luckily for all who live south of Boston. The traffic is MUCH better in this direction. The location had plenty of parking on all sides of the plaza. The restaurant is small, ideal to book a reservations days in advance. The food was BOMBBBBBBB. I didn't really take photos except this one because I was so immersed in what I was eating. From the drink special, to the food...10/10 I got a strawberry martini, started out the night great. Next was the focaccia which was delicious, mussels followed that. It's suggest you dip the bread in the sauce the mussels come with. You will not regret it. The entree was chicken parm, basic i know- but not a lot of places flavor it correctly. This place did not miss, the pasta did seem a bit under cooked- but not to the point it wasn't edible or it took away from the dish. My partner got the veal parm, i had a bite (obviously)- it was also phenomenal. I wasn't going to get dessert but the food was so delicious i HAD TO. I got the coffee and Carmel tiramisu. Impeccable, the food was so good I wanted to walk in the back and ask who made everything lol. Highly highly recommend. Even the service was 10/10, very very pleasant vibes, very homey, great food. Portions are good sizes, not skimpy at all.

    Plain old delicious oysters
    Liz K.

    First off, as we pulled in my husband said anxiously "I don't think this is the place you thought it was" (we ate at another lovely Italian restaurant couple of years ago in the area when visiting family). He was right but I assured him that the menu had told me everything I needed to know and so we hoped for the best. I don't often say it but this place exceeded my expectations in every way. Service was excellent and the dishes combined ingredients in a fresh and interesting way. I had the carpaccio and oysters and nibbled on my husband's Bolognese (btw closest to my aunts 5 hr recipe- must have beef/veal/pork always in my book). When the wrong oysters I assumed it was my error and said no problem. All of a sudden the chef-owner shows up with a plate of the composed island creek oysters which are over the top delicious with caviar and quail yoke saying "I thought you needed to have these". Needless to say I was over the moon with this gesture. Other than when we've been in Italy has a chef cared this much about the food and customer. I wish I loved closer because I would eat my way through every dish on the menu. Only critique I have is I would have liked less grated parm on the carpaccio. The wagyu beef is the star and the raspberry horseradish was divine!

    veal milanese
    Lindsay D.

    What a hidden gem! This place came recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint. The grapefruit martini was a great start and the crab stuffed squash blossoms were to die for. The pistachio pesto lasagna was delicious and not too heavy, the scallops were cooked perfectly and the veal milanese was excellent. It's a cute spot with a nice bar and small dining room. Plus we had great service!

    I got takeout from this Italian restaurant three months ago. I tried their tagliolini bolognese as an entree and the chocolate cake for dessert. The tagliolini bolognese was cooked al dente and came in a ragu consisting of beef, veal and pork. It was delicious! The chocolate cake also was really good. It came with a slice of torched pear and it was not too sweet. Too bad that they are only open for dinner. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the South Shore!

The process is easy- you're given a card when you arrive that tracks which wines you pour. There is a nice selection of white and red wines from many regions.

While I can appreciate the choose your own adventure / tasting concept and benefits of moving at your own pace, wine tasting is something where I'd prefer to have more of a personal touch. The storytelling and personal connection was missing, and made the experience feel a bit hollow. The space was a nice open hang and there's snacks and games, and there is staff there, but the experience made me realize I prefer a guided human tour for some things, wine tasting being one of them. Prices also snuck up on us a bit, it's easy to lose count of how many you've had with the card reader. I was also a bit bummed to find that if you liked a wine you cannot purchase a bottle on site. But I'm glad I tried it and had fun.

We got the Brie and Hummus as an appetizer, and it was both sweet and savory. The roasted garlic and raisins were a unique touch. More bread would be preferred. Bread for the table is available upon request, and is sort of skimpy. But honestly, it's probably so your appetite isn't spoiled. For dinner, I got the filet and it was to die for! Absolutely divine! Other people at my table ordered the steak with parmesan fries, scallops, and pear salad. Everyone was impressed. We ended with Espresso Martinis and the Mud Pie for dessert. The pie was INCREDIBLE! I was expecting pudding or a trifle of some sort, but it was actually more like an ice cream pie with heath that just melted in your mouth. My table of 6 shared it. Our waitress was a little abrasive at first, but she grew on us and steered us in the right direction menu-wise. I will absolutely be back!

The Fermentary carries other local breweries' beer - Widowmaker, Vitamin Sea, Stellwagen, etc. They also carry all natural wines and have some snacks to munch on (the pretzel and queso are really good!). They made some nice upgrades. It seems brighter and maybe more seating. Only "negatives" we've seen are that they are very heavy on IPAs (mostly double and triples, the couple times we've been), which isn't too bad for us, because we really only drink IPAs, but if you're looking for a lager or an ale, your options might be limited. Also, they don't have cable, so if it's a local game you're trying to catch, you'll be out of luck. Notice they've had some events held there - seems like it would be a great spot for that (nice open space with fireplace and tv). This will definitely be our go-to for a laid back afternoon/early evening, quick drink or two. Definitely check it out!
