Perfect experience in every way. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. The pizza and chicken sandwich were both excellent, and the side salad was very fresh and tasty.

Good brick oven bread, Spaghetti with Crab was very good, Garlic Shrimp appetizer very good, Caesar salad was meh, Spaghetti Carbonara was very disappointing. Good cappuccino. Good breakfast potatoes. Service was decent.
If I’m in the neighborhood again I may give them another shot. Not overpriced.
Potential for a very good meal is there but it wasn’t a home run.

Went for brunch and lunch so far and it’s absolutely incredible. Their eggs purgatory is probably the best breakfast dish I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Just left. My server was John. He was such a good, attentive server that we left him the biggest tip I’ve ever left a person. We came to this restaurant for my best friend’s birthday, 30 mins before closing, and they still welcomed us with open arms (we called first). The greeting was warm and welcoming, the food was hot and fresh. They make everything in house. We ordered some dishes that weren’t on the menu but my favorites was the Cesar salad, the meatball, the bread, and the duck bolognese. I’m so impressed with the food and service. It was 3 of us and our bill came out to be $167. Not bad at all. We ordered a lot of food. So I highly recommend. I travel all over the world for a living and this food is better than a lot of spots I tried in Italy. Will be back.

We had dinner, 8 of us for a birthday
The food was outstanding, all 8 of us agreed and we each had a different dish!! Service was outstanding. Also being able to have delicious gluten free meatballs was a wonderful surprise As usually meatballs are not gluten free and if they are most of the time not yummy
These meatballs were a home run!
We can’t wait to go back

Everything about Osterio LK checks all the boxes. Great neighborhood spot, simply decorated with an unassuming vibe. The staff is awesome. And the food was amazing. Nice sized portions, fresh and hot. The bread is made on premise and it’s amazing. This place is the real deal and with no reservations, it’s worth the wait.

Wonderful, consistently good food in a friendly atmosphere. Because it is popular, it can be a bit noisy. The inability to make a reservation is a detriment but makes us eat early. They do m charge fir bread, but it is a very wonderful peasant bread worth the extra cost.
