"Spring Garden’s Osteria has a big lounge areanear the bar where you and your group should have a few cocktails before spending the night with pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and a whole branzino. There’s also a greenhouse section of the Italian spot where you can take in the night sky surrounded by plants. All of this may read like a place that’s more about the atmosphere than the food, but everything from the tender braised lamb fusilli to the cheesy bolzano pizza is delicious and great for sharing." - candis mclean

"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
"Osteria's greenhouse makes it one of the most beautiful dining rooms in town. But the Italian food is also consistently great. During CCRW, they're serving grilled octopus, wood fired half roasted chicken, and a whole bunch of good pasta." - candis mclean
