Osteria

"Osteria is a spacious Italian spot on North Broad that has a beautiful covered greenhouse. It's flowing with flowers and a long bar that makes it an easy place to drop in before a show at The Met. The cocktails, pizzas, and handmade pastas are all excellent—especially their creamy and earthy francobolli ravioli that’s packed with robiola cheese and topped with large trumpet mushrooms. But we’re also big fans of the wood-grilled chicken if you want something that won’t weigh you down on an intimate date night." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Someone asked you to pick your favorite sport, and you replied, “Watching The Great British Bake Off.” So, yeah, maybe you don’t know why 99% of the city is pumped after a big win. But you do like pretty things on a plate. Spring Garden’s Osteria has plenty of that, plus a cool greenhouse attached to their dining room. The marble bar is always filled with people hanging out before (and after) dinner, low lighting, and great views of a roaring pizza oven. When you eventually head to your table, make sure you grab their Trentino pizza, layered with sauteed fig and gorgonzola, a tender seared duck breast, and finish your meal with the moist apple upside down cake (you are a Bake Off fan, after all). " - candis mclean

"The Deal: $40 Dinner  Osteria's greenhouse makes it one of the most beautiful dining rooms in town. But the Italian food is also consistent. During CCRW, they're serving a grilled broccolini caesar, octopus with calabrian chili, and a whole bunch of good pasta. " - candis mclean
