Osteria

- Philadelphia, PA
About this business
From the decor to the dishes, the chefs have done it again! The Osteria restaurant by Marc Vetri and Jeff Benjamin caters to the Italian food loving population of Philly. A good wine list is what is expected, and it's exactly what the guests get over here. The waiting staff is not that great but at least they don't mess up the orders. And you would want the food as soon as possible once you are done with the starters. The antipasti, ravioli and pizzas are scrumptious to say the least.

The two James Beard Awards speak for themselves. Skip the entree and order antipasti and primi courses to experience more of the flavors.
We waited to long to try this place! – First of all parking was no problem. We walked in with no reservation, and they sat us at a table. (we would have done just as well at the bar but a seat was a plus) The wine selection was extensive, and very reasonable. (wish they had a couple california wines to choose from but... who cares ) The grilled octopus was very good, a bit sandy, but excellent flavor. I would get it again and again. Next was Pizza, with a baked egg and sausage I believe. Very good flavor, and quite alot to f... read more
Overpriced!!! No Added Value!! – Overprice! Overpriced! Overpriced!!!! The food wasn't bad, but I've had better. I don't care how "hip," how good the service is, but when you walk out of a restaurant still feeling hungry despite having spent a fortune, THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING!!!! Food portions were unbelievably chintzy. I ordered a $30 fish dish that came with literally 3 very, very small pieces of meat on the plate that I had to eat very, very slowly to make it last through dinner. The plates that others in my party ordered... read more
Quite a gem – I was here on a Saturday night with my boyfriend and two other couples. We have heard great things, but I tend to be very underwhelmed when a restaurant is held in such regard. I do have to admit, the food and service were fantastic. The server was very knowledgeable in the extensive wine selection, and could answer all questions from pairing, flavor- right down to the grape growth and region. The atmosphere of the restaurant was romantic and inviting, we all could carry on a conversation without having to scre... read more
Consistently delicious – I'm really surprised no one has reviewed Osteria yet! Osteria is a fantastic restaurant. I've eaten there at least 10 times since they opened a little over a year ago, and I have received incredible food and impeccable service every time. The pizza margherita is my favorite dish on the menu. The ingredients taste really fresh and high quality, which is what I think makes Osteria's brick oven pizza a cut above that of, say, Pietro's in Center City. Another standout is the linguini with lobster special... read more
North Broad Street sees new traffic as well-healed suburbanites and city slickers trek up to this stylish Italian bistro from the venerable Marc Vetri. – In Short Somewhere between Temple University and Center City, good things are happening. Osteria--Chef Marc Vetri's latest effort--is winning hearts and minds with a gourmet, Italian casual prize that's at once approachable, cutting-edge, simple and stylish. Grilled pizzas topped with octopus and smoked mozzarella share space with wood-grilled halibut and eggplant ravioli. ... read more
Fantastic Food - Even Better Service – I would highly recommend Osteria. The location may put some people off, but it is actually only half a block north of Spring Garden with tons of parking. The interior is small and intimate (which sometimes makes it hard to get a table without a reservation!) and definitely cozy now that it is becoming cold. We have been twice now and both times we were wowed by the food and service. I loved the wild boar bolognese and the rabbit was perfect. My husband kills the polenta dessert every ti... read more
Great bar, nice decor – Pasta dishes were excellent. Knowledgeable friendly bartender, tasted some very nice wines. My girlfriend had an absolute cosmo and it was $13 (this isn?t nyc!)
Great Italian food! – I have eaten there a few times now and each visit is better then the previous. Finally, Philadelphia has a restaurant that takes the risk that you might only find in NY. The chef creativity ranges from a simple margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella to a pizza with homemade sausage, bitto cheese with a sunny side up egg. All of the pastas are homemade, my favorite is the robiola cheese ravioli with chanterelle mushrooms. Definitely, get the whole roasted pig if it is on the menu and the rabbit. Do not be... read more
