Our experience at Osteria 106 was outstanding from start to finish. Every dish felt thoughtful, well executed, and deeply satisfying, and the service truly elevated the entire evening.
We began with the bruschetta prosciutto crudo, and that first bite set the tone for an incredible meal. It was perfectly balanced and fresh, and so good we easily could have ordered several more. Next was the Carciofi Fritti. The fried artichokes were crispy on the outside and sour and tangy in the absolute best way, making them incredibly addictive.
We also ordered the special salad of the day, which included sweet potato. While we wished the sweet potato had been a bit more candied, the salad was still really enjoyable and well balanced.
For mains, we had the Brasato d’Agnello, and the lamb shank was rich, savory, and completely mouthwatering. It was fall off the bone tender and full of flavor, and we honestly could have eaten many more of them. We also shared the ravioli di zucca, which was excellent. The pasta was delicate and flavorful, and for Italian food it felt wonderfully light rather than overly heavy.
Dessert sealed the deal. Both the chocolate lava cake and the tiramisu were fantastic and the perfect ending to the meal.
To top it all off, the service was amazing. It was attentive, warm, and perfectly paced without ever feeling rushed.
Osteria 106 is a place we will absolutely be coming back to and one we would highly recommend for a truly memorable Italian meal.

Phenomenal experience from the ambiance, to the waitstaff, and then to the delectable food. They took me in as a walking but they also recommend reservations as they have busy period. I chose one of the appetizer specials along with a dinner and later a dessert special. All were very good. Definitely recommend.

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. My only critique is that the serving dishes were consistently cold. While this wasn’t an issue for cold dishes, warm plates would have enhanced the experience for hot meals. Despite this, the flavors and service make it a worthwhile. I would definitely come back for other dishes.

Small cozy Italian restaurant with a family like atmosphere. They have a daily offer that is different to the regular a’la carte menu. Always talk to your waiter they are knowledgeable. It does worth to have a go with the daily offer. There is a wide choice of appetizers. I chose from the daily offer. As far as I can remember it was stuffed fried peppers which was outstanding. Duck and pea soup are also 5*. Tiramisu is a must have top choice. Panna cotta is also very good and luckily not on the sweet side.
This place is a must visit. There is also an excellent wine menu.

Wow!! Totally unexpected amazing Italian restaurant. We came for my birthday very low key and was pleasantly surprised! I must say having just been recently in Italy it’s the closest to the real thing I’ve had in a while in the city. Good wine selection, amazing service and the food was outstanding! Bravo!

Every dish was constructed extraordinarily. Fewer ingredients, done well.
Top notch service.
Outsized quality for a relatively affordable outing.

This year it was my 5th Manhattan visit and decided to try Osteria on 106 on my son in law recommendation. For inside seating you have to call in but outside dining area can accommodate walk ins. Weather was warm so we sat out side. I ordered Cavatelli pasta and boy did I enjoy it with their white wine. Waitress was friendly and had many suggestions especially for a person like me who is on a very restrictive diet. If you are in that area and like Italian food you will enjoy this place.

Casual Italian eatery. Nice service, cute indoor and outdoor covered seating. I’ll be back for the Creme brûlée. Takes reservations. Bruschetta had rotating toppings. While it was tasty the sausage was too much for me. The pasta dish was fantastic. Looking forward to return. The bread an oil tastes very good.

Coming up on two years now. One of the most delightful experiences I’ve had in a life time in and around the business. Still remember with great fondness. Lower side of $50-100 but the food was wonderful

I am still here eating. This is not my first time here. I actually like the food, but the service is just not great this time. From pushing us to order to pushing us to finish our apps because they had fired our mains already (when we asked them to please not fire the mains right away after being pushed to). And then we waited to order a bottle of wine for 10 minutes. When I asked to order, I was told ‘I am coming.’ Never will come here again. Even though the food was actually good.
