Osteria

The food was delicious! The salad was fresh and well seasoned! I forgot the name of the dish but it was very tasty! I had a drink and it was great! The service was great! Prices are reasonable! It's nice inside but a little tight. The meatballs were not the best. The sauce was mainly on the bottom and dry overall. I would try the restaurant again. I had to take a star off. The was a small black hair on the side of the meatballs when they came out. The server quickly replaced them.

First off service here is amazing. All the staff treated us very well! Food was equally as delicious. So hot and fresh! Lasagna came out is a very hot dish. So amazing and tasty. Salads were fresh and crisp. Definitely a place I will be back to visit.

Wow wow wow. Got the crepes and chefs salad to start. The seafood fra diavolo, grouper, and halibut special for mains. And tiramisu for dessert. Everything was SO SO good. They had tons of daily specials which all sounded great. Great service, clean, and cute interior. They also grow fresh herbs right in front of the restaurant!

What a treat! We felt like we were dining in Italy! The server was knowledgeable and suggested a couple of dishes that we ordered and we were not disappointed! The quality of the food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. Our server, Paul offered wine pairings with our dinners and he was spot on.

Branzino was delicious along with the potatoes. I didnt care for the squash noodles but that i think was more of a taste preference. Cocktails popping. Customer service was phenomenal. Tiny restauraunt with something big to offer. Some very low music would have absolutely SET the mood. Will definitely be back.

Food is extremely good, very fulfilling. The restaurant could be a little more spacious but overall the experience was wonderful. I will definitely be revisiting again.

This is an updated review from a year ago. Osteria is what I call "The Hidden Gem of Greensboro"!! There is something so beautiful when a restaurant takes the simplest of ingredients and turns them into an unbelievable meal. I have had nothing at this spot that is less than perfect, and I'm from an Italian family!! I love the pastas and my husband is a huge fan of their meats (ossco bucco, pork, etc). The carrot and beet salad with it's lovely balsamic and oil dressing is wonderful. Cocktails are THE best in town! Duncan, Osteria's manager/ bartender/ waiter has an attention to detail that you only see in the very up and coming restauranteur (another restaurant coming soon!). Thank you for this great place on a very competitive Greensboro scene. Perfect for family, first date, celebration. I'm almost hoping no one will read this so there will be more for me, but do yourself a favor and check it out very soon!

Soggy, overcooked noodles mindlessly assembled by a kitchen with no knowledge of Italian cuisine. It is sad to pay for mediocrity. Italian cuisine is simple: fresh ingredients prepared according to tradition. No secrets there. Osteria didn't even try.

We finally had the ability to try Osteria Italian Restaurant on Westover Terrace. It was a date night, so we reserved a table for two, yes, they take reservations, and had a chance to experience the atmosphere and their cuisine. The first thing I will say is that the staff is friendly and attentive. There was never a moment where we needed something that someone wasn't nearby and already serving us. Osteria has a varied menu that includes fish and steaks and more continental faire. We wanted our first meal to be one focused on some Italian classics. We split a Panzanella Salad which is mixed greens, polenta croutons, red onion, chopped Kalamata olives, capers, grape tomatoes, and a delightful balsamic dressing with a hint of citrus. This salad was a bright and fresh start to the meal. It is big so sharing it was easy. We both had generous portions. For the main course, my wife ordered Pappardelle Salmon and I had the Seafood Ravioli. The pappardelle was done perfectly. The wider noodles were tender without being mushy. The salmon is served shredded, and not a complete fillet. This was not an issue because the salmon was not overdone, and it was very flavorful. The sauce is an olive oil base, and we were told it was would be a little soupy. That did not mean it was overpowering, just that there was going to be a level of moisture in the dish when it did not have a cream or red sauce. The sun-dried tomatoes and Portabella rounded out the flavor profile. You could taste and appreciate each element of this dish. My seafood ravioli was very satisfying. It consisted of five large ravioli. The seafood stuffing provided some wonderful notes of lobster and crab. The base was a tomato cream sauce that complemented rather than overpower. For dessert we shared a chocolate soufflé with vanilla gelato. The soufflé had that wonderfully warm and gooey chocolate center that paired really well with the gelato. It was the perfect end of what was a really well presented and beautifully prepared meal. Osteria is an excellent choice for a date night as it has a warmly decorated and lit dining room that gives off a calm vibe. To me this restaurant is a must try, especially if you're craving Italian food. Of course as I mentioned they also have a wide array of seafood and meat dishes as well.

Empty tables, but seat us at the worst one by the door where it's drafty and cold-we moved. Arrived for our 6:45 reservation on time and were not served until 8:15...that's not a misprint. One person in our party of four ordered a fish specialty, and was told it needs to be boned. Server said the owner would do that for us-never happened. Was told it takes longer to prepare the fish, there's some confusion in the kitchen, sorry it's taking so long. No offer of more hard rolls, while we're still waiting. No offer of complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. Our scampi was overloaded with sauce plus four small shrimp and two tiny scallops for $30+. VERY disappointing...there were two good Italian restaurants in Greensboro, now there's one and it's not this one.

It was our first time at Osteria Italian restaurant. It was a Saturday night and a large crowd was there. All of the tables are packed pretty close together, but they made it work. Our main server was Charlie who I guess has been there a long time. Not sure if he was having a bad night or that was just his personality, but we didn't get the warm and fuzzy. We each ordered a drink, a salad and entrée pictured above. They were both very good and we shared each other's meals. We will probably go back again and try something different.

We had a party of 6 and some of us were very satisfied and others felt the food was just ok. We were excited about the homemade pasta, but it came out "watery". Very disappointing. We ordered Pappardelle w/Ragu and Chicken Francese and Chicken Alfredo. We also ordered desserts. The Bomba, the stracciatello gelato and the chocolate mousse. They loved the Bomba dessert, but the other desserts were forgettable. We had high hopes but the overall experience came out a little flat.

If I could give more than five stars I would! We dined here for lunch but I am already making plans for a dinner date! You know it's good when once the food started coming I completely forgot that the phone eats first! We started with Parmesan meatballs and beef carpaccio. For the entrée I enjoyed Grilled wild salmon and my friend ordered gnocchi. We rounded out the meal with crème brûlée for dessert. For such a small restaurant there is plenty of seating and somehow it does not seem crowded at all. Nice music and not a lot of noise from tables nearby. My only slight critique is that the server was a little overly attentive, coming back probably five or six times over the course of lunch not including the initial visit and bringing the check. Can't wait to visit again soon!

My friend had a wedding reception here and it was amazing!! The food, service, and space were perfect!! The custom cocktails were perfectly poured. My glass was never empty. We were in a side room but had dedicated servers who met our every request- they even had a charging station if we needed it. The food was incredible. The polenta croutons on the caprese skewers were so good my daughter looked them up on TikTok mid dinner. For our entrees we had a delicious branzino in a lemon oil that was indescribably delicious- it had a nicely charred flavor. The chicken francese' was also amazing and the chef obliged my request for extra sauce. I believe you can often tell how good a restraint is based on how well they treat large parties and events - and this place gets number one on my book.

Food was excellent. Hot, fresh. Not your "typical" Italian restaurant -- no pizza, no mozzarella sticks, etc. Just good quality Italian food. Service was friendly and efficient. I always appreciate when the server knows the daily specials and doesn't have to read them from their folder. Ambiance was nice, airy, well lit. When we were there, not loud. We enjoyed our visit here, and will go back

Made a reservation through OpenTable on a Saturday night. The vibe was off from the moment I entered. My wife was already seated while I parked the car. We were right by the door even though there were other open tables. There seemed to be just one waiter and a few people bussing and bartending. Waiter came over and apologized for the wait (there wasn't one but in hindsight - he was trying to calibrate expectations). We used to come to Osteria quite a lot - I even had Review of the Day on Yelp! I will say that when the food finally arrived, it was 5 star - if it wasn't cold or late. Service, if you could call it that, was horrible. I still tipped 25% but let's start: Bread - took forever to come Apps, soup, etc. came out whenever. Then there was the long, awkward pause. 30 minutes after our table was (eventually and not completely) cleared, out came the entrees. Mine was not that hot. We ate, took home leftovers and then ordered dessert. Well one of our two items came out - and the other an apple crisp with ice cream came out. The ice cream was cold but so was the apple crisp. Like room temperature for what supposed to be a hot dessert. Espresso came out prior to dessert (not with it) and...IT WAS COLD. The machine was 20 feet away but somehow the espresso sat and sat and sat. We 86'd the bad pie and had them remake the espresso. Our waiter told us some long winded story about how he got into a fight with the kitchen at lunch. Here's the thing, no one from management came over to apologize, no one checked on us. When the floor manager came in from outside he brought in all the smoke smell of his cigarette along with the cold air. This had to be one of our worst meals in Greensboro. Maybe it was Saturday and the waiters fighting with the kitchen but this is not our experience at Embur or Dolce Amora. The only reason it gets 2 stars is the food, when served at temperature, was excellent. We will NOT be back again. Off our list. We will still visit Embur but Osteria needs to figure out how to fix what is very broken.

Updating this place after going back after a long time. This is an amazing restaurant for really good Italian food and a really fantastic wine list. On top of that our server was on the ball the whole time we were there, with refilling water, wine, and keeping a check on everything. He didn't miss a beat. We were told to order appetizers, entrees and wine all together and they would bring it out in intervals. Their menu is fantastic, they also had a slew of specials which all sounded great. Their bread service is delicious, those rolls are amazing and I loved the white bean dip. We ordered the beef carpaccio as a appetizer. Having had this last time I knew it was awesome. Slivers of beef, fresh spicy arugula, and fresh Parmesan. This is a must! I ordered the wild mushroom risotto, creamy, full of mushrooms, and nice and cheesy. Server asked me if I'd like fresh black pepper and also offered me red crushed pepper. I took both. A great dish. My friends had the veal Parmesan which was a special and came with a side of spaghetti. A grand size portion, which my friend had plenty to take home. Authentic, rich and great flavor , my friend loved it. Other friend had the seafood ravioli, also a rich creamy dish, but great filled ravioli with lots of seafood. Freshly made. We had a lovely bottle of valpolicella, went well with our food. Dessert can't be missed either here, they have some wonderful choices, went with the one that caught my eye first, the chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream . Oh wow. Again a must, warm, freshly made, essentially a lava cake, filled with warm chocolate. This was a nice way to end a perfect meal. Definitely shareable. Very rich. Food is of the best quality I've had in awhile, the best service and a nice cozy atmosphere, this place is busy for a reason, everyone in Greensboro should come here if they haven't.

The food is sooo good! Lots of gluten free options- and they are totally willing to adjust menu items! great service and great vibe! Loved everything!

This place was so delicious. We needed a reservation at the last minute on a Friday and they had one available. I ordered the gnocchi and it was so decadent. There was an extensive wine list also. Perfect for dates, business, or a girls night. All of my friends enjoyed their food.

A divine birthday lunch at Osteria. Lovely environment, delicious food and attentive waitstaff. It's my go to restaurant for special occasions especially I am half Italian.

Always a great experience to have dinner with my family. Great place, nice environment, amazing food and service. I love the fettuccine and my husband enjoy the shrimp scampi! They also give a bread with butter for appetizer (free) that's so good!

The food was tasty and the service was great. The waiter was very attentive to our needs. Ambiance Good! The wait is long if you have no reservation.

We ordered takeout from Osteria tonight and they were nice enough to accommodate me ordering something off menu. I ordered risotto, a chicken and in addition a lobster risotto. When we got home, I was disappointed to see the risotto wasn't cooked all the way, and the portion was slightly smaller than I expected. With this order and the seafood risotto, our bill was $71. I'm just really disappointed with what I received and I chose to refire on my own stove to attempt to cook the risotto so I could enjoy my meal. The lobster risotto is also undercooked. This was after a bite was taken. Unfortunately, not worth $70 for the two plates.

One of my go to Greensboro restaurants for dinner and celebrations. I had no idea they were open for lunch. If your eating here for the first time- the lasagna is a must try!!! The Bolognese sauce is one of my favorite sauces ever. I honestly have never had a bad meal here. Lunch menu was wonderful. Staffing at lunchtime a little different- I think they are still figuring it out. Food was good- but not as on point as dinner. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.. this visit I had salmon carpaccio- and meatball appetizer. Delicious!! Love Osteria!

This was a great place for a date night out. We did not bring our kid as it did look a little too upscale for a kid. The menu was great with many excellent choices. I had the oso bucco and my wife had the seafood ravioli. They did have a very nice wine last. We both had a Chianti. It was good with both our dishes. I'm very interested to come back and try other dishes as everything that came out looked fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxing and the noise volume was what you would expect in a higher end restaurant. There was a bar side and another side. We sat in the side without a bar and the noise was a little lower making it a much more romantic setting. Overall great Italian date night place.

Totally enjoyed all the food! We had the zucchini stuffed blooms with ricotta cheese The chefs special lobster risotto Seafood ravioli Chocolate soufflé with vanilla gelato Cream bur-lee Excellent! Great service! But did feel our wait staff was a little pushy and felt rushed

The food was great. The atmosphere is nice except for the one male waiter that kept hitting almost purposely the chair I was sitting at because of the way the tables are set up. There's not a ton of room, but no one else was hitting my chair so it made for an interesting evening with his rear and my face as I was eating dinner. Other than that I'd recommend just don't sit in the back.!!

Superb service and amazingly flavorful food that never disappoints. Great place to reconnect with friends. Started with the meatballs where my favorite part is the red sauce that accompanies them. Dip the fresh bread into the sauce and you'll want another entire basket. Speaking of the bread...always crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. I love their homemade pasta but the waiter recommended the Chilean Sea Bass special. It was spectacular. I will continually ponder how they made the sauce. It was so good and really accented the fish. The side of butternut squash was also a good match. My daughter had the seafood ravioli. Always amazing. Truly fine Italian dining in Greensboro.

We moved recently to Greensboro and my husband and I have been making the rounds for great Italian food and Osteria definitely meets, not just good, but awesome Italian food. Looks can be deceiving, so just because it's located at a strip mall, does not mean it is not nice inside. We had reservations for 6:00 pm and were seated immediately; however, the owner kept apologizing because the hostess was not at the front desk, since she was sitting another party. Our server was superb and she knew all the specials from the top of her head. She also had great suggestions for drinks, appetizers, and dessert. Will we be back? Already did.

Osteria delivered the best restaurant experience that I've had since moving to the area! The atmosphere, staff, and food were all exceptional and worth the cost. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a fine dining experience with hearty meals instead of small plates. I'm not sure if reservations are required but I strongly recommend making one.

Great meal and pleasant service. The seafood ravioli was very flavorful and the veal piccata was some of the best I've had.

I was in the mood for Italian food and this place was suggested by a friend. We went on a not so busy day, but when we came in we were asked if we had reservations and when we said no, the server acted annoyed, but sat us in the back wedged between other patrons (although there were plenty of empty tables). It took a long time to get any kind of service- but we realized later there seemed to be only 3 people working, so we forgive that. Food was good, not spectacular. I cannot recall if there was music playing. The ambiance was kind of boring, looks old. Would not suggest to others but won't badmouth the place either. Hope their regulars keep coming.

There are white linen tablecloths on the tables. That is a touch you don't see very often. The service was attentive. My family has been there twice and each dish has been delicious. The presentation was artistic.

Service ,food and drinks amazing ! Adam was awesome. Definitely recommend. Pasta was phenomenal

Impeccable every single time. From the service to the drinks to the food...one of my top places to dine in Gboro!

Hard to say exactly what everything was because the menu we had was totally different from what is shown online! But all food was exceptional and excellent service! Place was packed! Nice ambiance!

Exceptional. The service was stellar! We thought we had decided on our entrees, but when told the specials of the night we felt it necessary to change course. We started with the meatballs, burrata and mussels (a special). The mussels were perfectly cooked and had the best sauce! Meatballs & cheese? On point! Hubby had steak and I had fish - both specials and both were dy-no-mite! Ashamedly, I only have one photo of the remaining smiling fish head ... which is not nearly as appealing or appetizing as the dish was - so I'll refrain from posting. Treat yourself and appetite here - you'll have no regrets!

Restaurant was cozy and quite nice, maybe for drinks with friends. Started with the beef carpaccio which was so disappointing, they used 5 slices of a prepackaged beef log and that was about it. We had mains of lobster risotto and a sole fish dish. The risotto was horrible, it came out way too fast to be fresh and drowning in oil. Once we poured about half a cup of oil into a bowl the dish was good. The sole was cooked well, piccata style. Sides were fingerling potatoes and spaghetti squash. Potatoes were roasted very well, spaghetti squash was full of oil.

Terrific food and service. Great wine knowledge for pairing with dinner choice. Lots of parking but a little difficult to find.

I've only eaten there once (today). The veal meatball appetizer is delicious, and I liked the complimentary cold white bean mixture they serve with the bread. The lasagna was OK... I've never seen a lasagna without ricotta, so that threw me for a loop, but it's not as memorable as the veal meatballs. Service by Katrina was excellent.

Walked in and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. My party made the mistake of making a reservation for a different day instead of the day we arrived. Instead of turning us away they made accommodations for us quickly. Service was top notched, and quick! The restaurant is not over decorated and has an intimate atmosphere. Everything we had was very tasty and we would definitely be coming back. There wasn't a single thing we didn't like. We all got different pastas and sampled each other's, and each pasta was full of flavor and was cooked perfectly. I recommend this place for a nice date night or celebration due to the higher end prices. And Reservations are a must here!

Majorly overpriced for meh food. The first dish I ordered was so bad I had to send it back. Decided to get what my father had which looked good but after I ordered it he said it was "just ok". The waiter was rude when I declined to take the leftovers home. He kept insisting to the point that a relative said she'd take it (which she later regretted). We had a large party and no one said they wanted to come back. I had such high hopes too based on a friend's previous experience.

Love the food and the restaurant!! Great service and amazing food,,,, we love to go there for special occasions

I never leave reviews unless totally warranted, and I definitely felt the need to do so for Osteria. I was skeptical because of all the different reviews I had read, but I was really excited to try this authentic Italian food. I have vacationed in Italy several times and I was curious to see if they could compete. My fiance will be out of town next week, during Valentine's Day, for his job, so we decided to celebrate Saturday night. Unfortunately, we could not get a reservation, so we had to settle for Friday evening...... this was one of the best dining experiences that we have ever had! The food, the presentation, and the service were incredible!! We ordered the Calamari for an appetizer. It WAS specified that it was not fried so there were no surprises. The Calamari was perfect! I love when an appetizer is so good that you don't want to give up the last bite to your other!!! I had the Veal Picatta, and my other had the seared Ahi Tuna...his serving was huge and plated beautifully, and my veal was perfect! I now want to comment on our server, PAUL. I read several negative reviews about him, but we absolutely did not have that experience... He is a perfectly friendly gentleman who always made sure that we were happy with what we were being served and the service we were being given. I would absolutely ask to be seated in his area again! We definitely will be coming back to Osteria... I am so happy we found this hidden little gem in Greensboro!

I hate to leave a bad review, but the food quality for the price was absolutely disgusting. The waitress was so sweet, but you just can't fix terrible food with hospitality. My fiancé got the steak special, it was chewy and tough Cooked at chefs liking, and I got the Caesar salad special with grilled chicken. I've never had chicken that has tasted so rubbery. It made a squeaky noise when I chewed. i just want to help others steer clear of this restaurant I thought it would be good, but maybe we got the wrong food items.

Great ambiance and service. Pasta and bread were fabulous. Don't let the outside deter you. It's a hidden gem :)

Excellent food and service always they don't cut corners and are consistent. Thank you guys for doing such a wonderful job.

Italian food is near and dear to my heart and the food at Osteria has found its way into it. This place was top notch from start to finish with OUTSTANDING service, a lengthy wine menu, amazing appetizers and entrees and just an overall great environment. They had all of the Italian classics we love and even had some amazing unique options such as Bronzino! The gnocchi was in the creamiest pesto sauce and the lasagna was better than homemade. If you are looking for the perfect Italian place in Greensboro here it is! LASAGNA-Bolognese sauce, Emilia Romagna style GNOCCHI PESTO- mushrooms, creamy pesto sauce BRONZINO MEDITERRANEAN- Mediterranean herbs, arugula, red pepper, mango fennel salad, lemon dressing PAPPARDELLE SALMON- wild salmon, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, portobello, garlic and olive oil

A wonderful dining experience as always but unfortunately the last couple times we have eaten at Osteria the food was flavorless. This time I had the lamb and it did not have any flavor.

Great service and wait staff, great food and daily specials. They are open for lunch.

We came here for an early lunch and it was so great. Small and intimate, the girl working was the host and waitress and she was so friendly. She made great recommendations. The food was amazing. I got the lasagna and there's so many layers of noodles and it was hot and fresh. The sauce was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. I can't wait to eat here again.

The chef here is from Northern Italy and has the culinary chops to prove it. Italy is my favorite foodie destination anywhere because each region boasts its own amazing flavors! I had the lasagna to get a baseline as a first timer here. The ragu Bolognese was world-class and had that punchy fresh tomato flavor you can only get with amazing tomatoes like San Marzanos! The texture of the pasta layers was velvety and tender and perfectly cooked! Just melts in your mouth with each bite! Truly wonderful!!! My friend tried the fettucine with mushrooms and said it was outstanding as well! Looking fwd to many more visits exploring the rest of the menu. Waiter was friendly & attentive and even came out to pet my poodle waiting in the car as we left! Just an enjoyable dinner with a friend & great Italian food! Ambiance is cozy and not pretentious like you'd expect from a neighborhood osteria or trattoria in Italia! Molto bene!!!

Osteria Restaurant : Shrimp and Scallops: A Dish Served with One Scallop, Ample Servings of Disrespect, Blended Purposefully with Condemnation and Humiliation; and Garnished with Dashes of Racism and Sexism. My dining experience, April 9th at Osteria Restaurant on Westover Terrace, vividly and unmistakably showed me you can call anything a fine dining experience; rate it four or five stars; be served a dish that is clearly misrepresented and overpriced; and then be expected NOT to voice a complaint. TAGLIOLINI SCAMPI $22 My meal arrived with (4) shrimp and (1) scallop. The menu descriptions reads: "Shrimp, Scallops, White Wine, Lemon Butter Sauce" My initial comments to my server expressed my disappointment with the ( 1 scallop). I asked the server if I could possibly get more scallops. I even asked if I could pay for an extra serving. This is not an uncommon practice in most restaurants. However, this server seemed bewildered and completely thrown off by what I was asking. She responded, "let me see what I can do"; Obviously she could not rectify the situation herself. She left the table and I suspected she was going to check to see how the matter could be resolved. *Please Stay Tuned for A Tutorial and Clinic on How NOT Run A Fine Dining Establishment.* (1): It took more than 15 minutes from the time the server left the table, before she returned with the manager. My two friends who were at the table had already finished their meal when he finally arrived. You may draw your own conclusions to his sense of urgency! (2): When the manager, came to the table, he seemed annoyed. Instead of greeting the table with a "hello", he began with, "What is the problem over here?" What follows is the dialog as captured by myself and my two friends who witnessed and experienced this travesty. I said: "I ordered the shrimp and scallops pasta. It came out with (4) shrimp and (1) scallop. Manager responded, clearly annoyed, "ok, so what's the problem? I said: "I would like more than (1) scallop. Manager: "What's the problem? You got a scallop." I said: " It's a misrepresentation of the description of the meal. Why would you only give (1) scallop and (4) shrimp in a shrimp and scallops (PLURAL) pasta dish?" The manager began to patronize me, calling me "darling" and then said: "Darling, you got your food!" I responded: "I'm not your darling. My name is Angela." The manager then went on a tirade: "Angela, if I bring you more scallops then you'll want something's else, and then something else, and then something else......". At this time he's waving his hands in the air saying: " This my home! Don't disrespect me in my home!" My two friends were just as horrified and traumatized as I was over this exchange, I could see this was not going to be resolved in a professional manner. I decided at that point to refuse the dish; I never took a bite. And I asked him to take it back. He immediately said, " You're going to pay for it." I said, "no I am not! I never took a bite." I got up, from the table, left cash for the drink I ordered and left the restaurant. When my friends settled their checks and came outside, they told me the Manager TOSSED the "to go" box and bill on the table. They said the server at the table was visibly shaking. While others in back were trying to calm him down. My two friends even tried to tell him, " all my friend wanted was to get more scallops and she was willing to pay for them!" To that he yelled at them saying, "This is my home. I'm trying to feed my family!" To conclude, I'm not a novice to the food and hospitality sector. I have worked at several fine dining establishments under the Quaintence Weaver Corporation: Print Works Bistro and Green Valley Grill. I was WELL trained by those establishments so I know a thing or two about how to treat patrons and resolve serving issues. To clarify my opening comments, let me just say. I was the only African American female dining AND I did not see any African Americans working in the restaurant at that time. My two friends are Caucasian. I saw no one else in the restaurant that looked like me. So I can only draw the obvious conclusion for his behavior. I've been told, "a picture is worth 1000 words. So you draw your own conclusions about this experience!!!!!! THIS BEHAVIOR CANNOT BE EXCUSED, DISMISSED ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED BASED ON CULTURAL DIFFERENCES. NO OTHER ETHNICITIES ARE AFFORDED THIS PRIVILEGE. ESPECIALLY NOT MINE! Again I say, ". A Dish Served with One Scallop, Ample Servings of Disrespect, Blended Purposefully with Condemnation and Humiliation; Garnished with Dashes of Racism and Sexism.Manager

My husband and I ate there last night for the first time. We were celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary. I had mentioned that to the hostess when making the reservation and to our waiter Paul when we sat down. We live 30 min away, hired a sitter, Saturday night yada yada. Big night out for us and we were ready for a nice three course dinner. Paul rushed us through the entire meal. He basically acted like we were bothering him anytime we spoke to him. And god forbid we asked him a question about any details of the menu. After some forced back and forth over menu items he helped me decide on one of the fish meals. We had ordered calamari to start and a salad to split. Someone else brought out the calamari and salad together and I asked them to take the salad back. Paul comes to check on us and I realize I am apologizing to him for sending it back...that's how bad his attitude had been, and I was just trying to save my husbands and my special night. He told me he had timed it to come out that way. Appetizer and salad together. Of course with no apologies. This is like a decently nice place, I figured they would course their meals?! Paul was so rude it just ruined our entire night. We were constantly having to flag down other staff multiple times because Paul was just too unbothered to actually wait on us. My fish comes out and I guess what I ended up ordering was basically a fish salad. It was baked fish with a side of arugula. And I was like, no carbs? Nothing else? I had just had a a huge salad. Like why wouldn't Paul mention this when ordering? Hey, you just ordered a salad and now you just ordered a fish salad for a meal. It's because he gave no actual craps about us or our special night at all. And I just want to say I used to be a waitress for 10 years and this was not a cheap little meal for us. Husband had 3 scotches, I had a martini, glass of wine and sambuca. We had an appetizer, salad, and more expensive meals. We dropped $155 before the 25% tip because we aren't jerks. But still neither Paul or anyone else said "happy anniversary." Much less thanks for coming in, come back soon. *If you want to get treated like you're an annoying American in Europe by a pretentious tiny man named Paul you should go eat here.Otherwise, don't waste you time or money!*

It's been over six years since I lived in Greensboro. One of my last meals before I moved to the Chapel Hill area was Osteria. I remember being so impressed with the quality of freshness of the ingredients used and the fact that the pasta was house made. I spent 3 summers living in Italy and have become quite the Italian food snob. You won't find any dry pasta in my pantry. So I was ecstatic to find out that they were still open and insisted we ordered take out for dinner. I ordered the panzanella salad and seafood ravioli. Y'all, I don't even know where to begin. This was seriously one of the best meals I've ever had and I LIVED in Italy! The salad, which used polenta croutons, was refreshing and the croutons added a nice texture. My seafood ravioli, with huge chunks of crab, lobster, and shrimp, was decadent and delicioso! The ravioli was swimming in this creamy red sauce that was so insanely yummy I wanted to make babies with it! Seriously, don't sleep on this place!

The food was so delicious we forgot to take pics, the drinks were strong and kept coming. Everyone worked as a team and we never waited long for anything. Our server was attentive and knew great recommendations. We will visit again !!
