                                                    A pasta ENTREE dish for $25 came with seven (7) small pieces of dressed pasta. Ridiculous. And they charge $7 for bread. And they tagged an additional 2.75% "restaurant fee" with no rationale. The tables were too close to each other to hear. (Although we did get to hear two people on a first date next to us telling each other about themselves more than we could have our own conversation.) We had to go to another place for more food afterwards. There's better Italian options nearby.

                                                    We were really excited to visit Osteria Gilberto. We were seated immediately but it took some time for us to get water and meet our waitress. We ordered cocktails (great wine and cocktail selection). We enjoyed our drinks and ordered an appetizer (Mozzarella and prosciutto) which was tasty. I had to flag down our waitress to order our meals. I had the lasagna which was very tasty. My wife ordered the branzino and unfortunately it was not deboned properly. There were so many small, sharp bones that it was pretty much inedible. When the waitress asked how our food was, my wife told her about the branzino. Our waitresses response was that other customers had also complained about the same thing! My wife wasn't offered a substitute, free cocktail or anything for a meal she couldn't eat. When I paid the bill, the branzino was still on it. Disappointing visit, but I think they have great vibe and potential.

                                                    The waiter was horrible. We waited so long to get drinks and order. Then we asked for the dinner to be coursed out and they brought everything at once. When we said something, they did not even apologize. The food was fine - some things better than others. We would never go back and such a shame as it’s a beautiful room in a great neighborhood.

                                                    This is a nice place, well decorated and good food. The waiter was friendly and generally attentive. We had calamari, caesar salad, bone in veal parm & short rib ravioli. All were good & as others have said they come out quickly. My only small issues were 1) the bench seat is too high. I felt like I had to lean over accross the table to my husband in the chair (which he said was very comfortable). 2) The bread which you pay for was not good, they toasted it, so as soon as it cooled it felt stale. It also wasn't served with OO or butter just garlic which was too strong and weird. We asked to have it taken away. Overall its a new restaurant and likely still working out the details. We will go back as its a nice addition to the neighborhood.

                                                    The restaurant is very cute, the food that we tried was ok. Meatball were a little dry. But my biggest complain is that they rushed us, we barely got through our apps and they already brought out mains and we literally had no space on the table to put all the dishes. It was not a wow but nice to have in the neighborhood.

                                                    The mafaldinis al ragú the best that I’ve ever tried before, the bread specially de focaccia amazing, and the drinks and wine selections spectacular.
