I took my husband to Osteria Vespa for our anniversary. The service was good and the food was delicious. We had the gluten free focaccia, the burrata caprese salad and the pork tenderloin Saltimbocca. The gluten free focaccia came out nice and hot, it was soft and pillowy with a wonderful crispy crust.
The salad was pretty good, I liked the addition of the cara cara oranges. But the star of the dinner was the saltimbocca. It was so delicious and mouthwatering, and the roasted potatoes were great. The broccoli was a little bland and could have used a little char or something.
Dessert was just as delicious. I got the Lemon crème brûlée and was very pleased with the bright lemony flavor and the creamy texture.
My husband got an affogatto and he said it was good.
We would recommend going to Osteria Vespa for a nice dinner or a celebration like an anniversary or a birthday. It’s a little more pricey but the quality was worth it.
The cocktails were not for me:
I don’t drink very often but I was excited to get a cocktail with dinner, unfortunately I didn’t see anything on the cocktail menu that sounded good to me. They had a large wine selection but the only wines that my husband and I were interested in were sold by the bottle and not by the glass.
I ended up ordering an Italian soda with pomegranate (which was very good), and my husband got the amaro daiquiri with bitter melon. I tried it and it was REALLY bitter. It reminded me of the pith of grapefruit. I am not a big drinker so you can take this part of the review with a grain of salt.

Hi
We frequently dine at Vespa and have done so for the last 10 years every time we’ve come to a movie in Amherst. Consistently we have had delicious food, inventive drinks, but very disappointing service when we are seated in the area attended by a particular waiter. Each time we realize he will be our waiter for the evening, we bristle, readying ourselves- Honestly, we would not come back if it weren’t for the delicious food.
Last night was no different. He was brusque and dismissive. I don’t know his name because he did not introduce himself. He’s tall and slender, and I believe he had a bit of a beard. We watched him be rude to the table beside us as well. We sat at the four person table, in the middle section, against the wall, just before the hall leading to the WC.
We are curious as to how he continues to serve customers at a place that seems to care so much about customer experience

We frequent Vespa and always have a good meal. Tonight, however, we had one of the best plates of food we have had in Amherst during the 24 yrs we have lived in this town. The scallops on the menu right now are phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, balanced and absolutely fabulous. Hopefully, it becomes a staple on their menu and they dont ever take it off. Id eat it once a week – easily! PS – Please consider bringing back the frites as an appetizer!

Food was very tasty, drinks were decent. Service was horrible. Our waiter really ruined our evening. My 3 sisters and I went there for dinner after her baby shower. My sister is an alum of UMASS and said that this restaurant was really nice, but had not been in a while. Our waiter approached us like a bunch of young college kids, we are all almost 40. He never introduced himself, we asked if there were any specials, our waiter just said “nope”. Pretty rude throughout the dinner. We decided not to get another round of drinks or dessert, when we had planned for a nice night out.

Fantastic find! We were here the night before a couple college visits and it was a terrific choice for all 3 of us that ordered. The focaccia bread on the app menu is a must. Drinks were top notch. Unfortunately, we dug in before I took a good picture!

Easy to go before or after a movie next door. Service was uneven, brought wrong entree and never brought wine I ordered. Prices are quite high, $7 for a piece of bread is unreasonable, $14 for a small glass of unremarkable wine. Caccia e pepe was good, $25 for pasta without meat, bread, salad or vegetable.

A little bit expensive, but it has great amount of food. The waitress was friendly and the environment was very happy and relaxed. Such a good experience.

Everything is always excellent. The food, staff and atmosphere. The cocktails are different and really good too. The prices are very reasonable. Love this restaurant!

Wanted to like this restaurant but couldn’t. Ordered the veal $28 and it was appetizer size. Veal was tough and breaded coating was soggy. Was told the pasta was homemade but was thick and chewy. Menu needs to have a couple a traditional Italian dishes rather than the odd selections. I’ve experienced gourmet restaurants in my day and this one is far from that. Service was good and the atmosphere is very nice. My wife is from northern Italy where the food is much lighter and flavorful. Save your money.

Had dinner with a friend. We both loved our meals. The service was friendly and professional. I thought the prices were reasonable considering the high quality of the food and the lovely atmosphere.
