Reviews
Overall, Osteria Amore was a great Italian restaurant. A must visit to experience authentic Italian.
We went here for a birthday celebration for a total of six people. The restaurant called an hour before the event to confirm. Our birthday girl asked for a specific type of table location which the restaurant said would be no problem.
Upon arriving, we apparently didn’t approve of the table location, so a request was made to move us. The restaurant was gracious enough to accommodate us.
Finally seated, appetizers were delicious. Calamari was a standout and the meatballs, delicious. I just wish we had ordered a pizza to share as they look delicious and we will return just to try it.
The service was excellent and attentive. Jason was top notch.
Main courses were all delicious. We passed plates all over the place so everyone could sample. Pastas were homemade. I ordered the Osteria Amore pasta. Great.
Desserts came, but I did not try them. Good feedback from our party.
Overall, worth the trip to eat here. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.
We were never brought a second serving of bread despite requesting it, and the truffle pasta I ordered was particularly disappointing. The server promoted the white truffle pasta with shaved truffles as a special, but she failed to disclose that the truffles were an extra charge. The pasta dish itself was only around $20, yet the 2 oz. of truffle shavings cost $42 on top of that—more than double the base price of the entrée. The portion was also extremely small, approximately 7 oz., and gone in just a few bites. My wife’s entrée was similar in size: her dish consisted of only six raviolis.
We also later learned that anniversary guests are offered a complimentary dessert, but this was never mentioned by Kelsey. Instead, we were encouraged to order desserts, which resulted in three desserts on the table unnecessarily. It became clear that the server was upselling and inflating our bill rather than being transparent or thoughtful.
For a Wednesday evening reservation at 5:30 PM, the entire dinner still took about 1.5 hours, and we were seated next to a guest with a dog. Given the tiny portions, lack of disclosure, slow pacing, and overall poor service, we left hungry and disappointed. We had expected a pleasant anniversary dinner and instead felt misled and overcharged.
This was our first visit, and unfortunately it will be our last. We left feeling taken advantage of rather than taken care of, and we genuinely regret choosing this restaurant for such an important occasion.
was exceptional enough to bring me back.
We went on Christmas eve. We made reservations weeks in advance and we were early. Our reservations were at 7:15 we arrived around 7. We did not want to chance keeping any of the staff later then needed.
1st we were sat at an EXTREMELY small table. There were 2 in our party so we didn’t need a large table by any means but the table was so small that the appetizer HAD to be removed before the main dish could be brought to the table.
2nd- when my partner ordered the main dish his exact words were we will both have the lasagna Verde. The dishes should have been the same. When our meals came out mine was in some sort of queso cheese looking sauce not the bolognese as stated. The longer it sat the thicker it became and I was unable to even taste the lasagna.
After 5-10 minutes of attempting to get the waiters attention he finally came by. I asked what the sauce was and why it was not the same as the other. He acknowledged it was definitely not the same but didn’t know what it was. I explained that there didn’t seem to have any meat and it wasn’t good. He offered to replace it “to go” as it was getting late, and that was his only resolution. If I wanted to eat my meal at home, I would’ve stayed home and cooked. We were there to enjoy the night out together and enjoy what we hoped a good meal at a nice restaurant.
I did not eat a quarter of the lasagna because it just was not good. In all fairness my partners dish seemed pretty good.
Normally, I would ask for a manager but due to being Christmas eve I didn’t want to make a scene- I was very surprised when the check came and he didn’t offer to discount the inedible food. Perhaps this is normal practice for this restaurant I honestly don’t know. It was our first and it will be our last time at this restaurant.
