About this business
Crowds of college students, professors and upscale professional types make getting a table at this cozy corner restaurant difficult on Friday and Saturday nights, but the wait is worth it.

great place – osteria is easily my favorite italian place in palo alto. the pasta is superb and is way better priced than all the surrounding italian restaurants (beppo's, il fornaio, pasta?, evil cheesecake...). a reservation is probably a good idea, but only needs to be made a couple of hours in advance. the carpaccio is wonderful.
Looong wait!!! – TERRIBLE SERVICE! Made the mistake of going on a Sat night and despite the fact we had made reservations (for a party of 4) a week in advance, we waited 45 minutes while the owner & hostess sat 4-5 groups ahead of us for no good reason. We complained. No sincere apologies for the wait. Seems the only way to get decent service is to know the owner or staff. When we had gone on a weeknight we enjoyed the food but the weekends are a nightmare. Why make reservations when they mean nothing?
I had no idea! – I've lived here for years and had no idea how great this place was! Unbelievable food and so reasonably priced. I'll be going there all the time now.
