Consistently good!! With every visit you will never be disappointed. The food quality is excellent...the atmosphere is everything that you would look for when planning a special night out ..and most important the wait staff will not disappoint you in any way. I hope you will not miss an opportunity to try this very special place.

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in Boston. The Artichokes in Batter appetizer is to die for and their Veal Limone is breath taking. Be sure to try it if you haven't yet, as you will not be disappointed. A small place that has all the charm and atmosphere of Old World Italy. On a nice Summer night the windows open to enjoy the wonderful air. Making a reservation is recommended.

Went on a trip to Boston from Maine with my kids and the best part of the trip was when my 12 year old son said,"these are the best meatballs I have ever had"

The L'osteria has a large menu of fine foods that is out of this world. The atmosphere is very elegant, and a great place to take that special someone for a romantic dinner. The wait staff is very educated in the fine foods on the menu, they can answer most questions you may have. Aside of all that the staff is very friendly. So if you're looking to impress that special person in your life and also have a fantastic dinner I highly recommend the L'osteria, you won't be disappointed...

The best meal in the North End. Fresh food and real good service. The waitress knew all the specials and all the salad dressings they have. What a surprise to find a well-trained staff that was also happy.
