A convenient To Go counter at the front of the space allows passengers to quickly grab freshly made entrées to take on their travels. Gorgeous, contemporary pendant lights twinkle over spacious, deeply tufted leather banquet seating. Approachable and stylish, warm and alluring—the scene at Osteria delights and attracts and is welcoming to all.
