"that was my second time in osteria, the first being before they turn off for covid. after almost 2 years I was very excited to come back! eating was absolutely amazing, and I remembered what brought me back. I have only two small weights that are small. one is that it is smaller than I remembered, so my date and I were placed in the middle of everything, so it is less cozy and intimate than I liked, and that it is loud. (this is part because we came on a Saturday evening during the rush, so everyone was filled with table. I imagine if they go in a less busy time, it would be much more cozy and quieter. certainly something to consider when they 're on a first time date, or plan to have a conversation that remains. the appetizer we chose was burrata, which came in a beautiful, squishy little baptism, on the top of prosciutto, with roasted red pepper and caramelized spices. I never had better burrata in my life as creamy, salty and decadent as it was. my date had the Butternuss-Quash-Ravioli (which she worshipped and really enjoyed, and I had the pistachio correction of cadjau, which was perfectly tender and came on a delicious pool of rice that they were forbidden to call a bit suppy, but perfect, slightly salty, nutty and al dente. we both ordered a glass red wine that could be a bone of satisfaction for $16 $18 per glass, led to a very meager pouring. (maybe this is standard, I don't go much out! be they that, as it can be, this restaurant on her must go to list for incredible, authentic, Italian tariff. the host was beautiful and the prices are fair."
