"Whatever the special pasta of the night is at Osteria, get it. That’s how confident we are in this romantic Italian spot on North Broad. They’re all handmade, al dente, and as delicious as they are beautiful. Try to get a seat in the plant-filled greenhouse and an order of the savory chicken liver rigatoni to complement whatever the special is—it’s been one of the city’s best pastas for nearly two decades." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"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

Their signature entrées, such as their chicken liver rigatoni with Cipollini onions and sage, Bitto cheese, and mozzarella and cotechino sausage is worth making a reservation immediately." - Ernest Owens
