Osteria32

Nondescript building hiding a refreshing high-end establishment. Service is attentive and professional. Meal quality is well above average, with an appropriate variety of Italian dishes and deep-dish pizza. Respectable wine selection. They're a little over the top with wanting reservations, so expect a bit of a cold shoulder as a walk-in.

Don't let the exterior of the building fool you; the food here is a culinary delight! I lived for over a decade in NY, and this is some of the best Italian food I've eaten.

Putanesca bland, no anchovies, two capers. Coffee, strong, black. They gave two people one Tablespoon of cream and no spoon for the sugar. The server said they were out of cream. We suggested maybe milk or something like it. He finally found some 10 minutes after dinner was finished. We ordered coffee before we ordered dinner. Bread was refrigerator cold. Oil and herbs had not set long enough to have good flavor. Great Roman salad. Seafood risotto very good. High prices. Paper straw with water, only if asked for.
