Simply the best Italian food in Indiana. It's a small restaurant with a great atmosphere and the best, authentic Italian dishes. The chicken marsala with polenta was amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was excellent and paired perfectly with the creamy polenta. I almost don't want to say all this, as it's tough getting a reservation on short notice, and I don't want to make it worse! We will definitely come again.
One of my favorite places for Italian in Bloomington. Their half price bottle Wednesdays are always a good deal, and their charcuterie boards are good value. Even the half plate has more stuff on it than other restaurant’s full plate. The pasta with guanciale is one of my faves if you like pasta with a kick to it.
The Jan pizza of the month with beans, fried garlic, and arugula was amazing!
I gave a 3 star for the food. Although my daughter said she was not impressed. The service for a dinner that came to well over one hundred dollars for two people was not what you would expect. Just to give you an idea without wasting too much time, we ordered a bottle of wine of which we did not finish. When we asked the server to cork it so we could take it home and she brought a paper bag for us to cork the bottle ourselves. Not worth the money.
Terrific food and great service in a quaint, unique environment. Very highly recommended!
2 hr wait everywhere else but Osteria was able to squeeze the two of us as long as we could be out in an hour. Carbonara was awesome and the cheese ravioli was also good.
