*Call for reservations*Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience. We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible. The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

This place is really great for light or heavier food options. There are many Bowl options where protein can be added, and I loved the flexibility of choosing. Everything was delicious and we had a wonderful birthday lunch celebration. The servers are so attentive and were excellent!

The food was amazing John knew exactly what he was talking about with his recommendations and I would absolutely go there again and this time bring friends. We ordered six different appetizers to taste all the different foods since it was our first time there and were impressed with each one of them simply delicious.
