The lamb chops at this place are so fantastic that it is a reason to go by itself. However, I go for the great ambiance. It is open till 11pm, which is definitely not the norm in Palo Alto. The service is satisfactory, though often overly obsequious.

Went here for the first time this weekend with my husband and seven-year old son. Was initially put-off when no one greeted us and our first interraction with the host was a hand-in-the-face as he walked past us to sit a regular who entered after us. All was forgiven, however. The host, perhaps knowing his faux pas, was extremely gracious thereafter. Our server was wonderful -- after admitting our ignorance of Italian wines, he didn't talk down to us but recommended a wonderful bottle that paired perfectly with our meal. And our meal!!!! Everything was delicious!!! We started with the artichoke bottoms with shrimp and a glass of presecco -- palatte pleasing to the extreme!. Next, the melon and prociutto was simple and perfect. My husband had the spinach pasta with bay shrimp, I had the spinach pasta with chicken and my son had a half-order of the tortellini with prociutto, peas and cream. We were all fighting over who's was best. We were drooling over the carpaccio delivered to our neighbor and have promised to order that next time. We sat towards the back of the restaurant in warm/cozy table. It was a fabulous family meal. We couldn't believe our tab when the check came!!! It was the deal of the century. We will most definitely return and cannot wait until our next meal at Osteria.
Pros: Fabulous Food at Fair Prices for the Whole Family
Cons: Can't think of any

I went to the Thursday night tasting event with a friend, and it was great! It was fun to be able to taste at the pace you want, how much you want, as well as choose what you want to taste. The small plates of food were all yummy, and went well with the wines! The service was great and the bartenders were very educated on the wines. I highly recommend going to this restaurant, it's a great place to go with a group of friends, family, or a great first date spot!
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Wine

Four of us had an early dinner on New Year's Eve and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the service attentive, and the atmosphere festive. We appreciated the fact that we could order from the regular menu, even on New Year's Eve. They also had a special 7-course meal and we could order any of those selections a la carte. Our only minor complaint was that the wines by the glass are pricey.

I've been here plenty of times and the pasta is delicious! Sometimes the sausage is a tad salty, but, hey, it's sausage. My favorite here is Penne Nucino. It's just the right amount of creme! I also loved the tiramisu here!!! The wine was so-so, and the staff is mostly nice. Some staff members are nicer than others, but that's everywhere. The food comes out slower when it's busy, I've been eating at off-peak times and it's nice to hold privtae conversations! If the staff is no so attentive, the bus boys always are.
Pros: great pasta
