Osteria

Best restaurant in Philly right now. Sort of off the beaten path, but worth the hike ! Get the grilled octopus , spinach ravioli , and the pannochia pizza (the BEST, complete with truffle )!

One of many authentic Neapolitan and Roman-style pizza offerings at Osteria, the Parma Pizza with mozzarella , fontina , arugula and prosciutto di Parma is a definite crowd-pleaser. Read more

To complement your meal, choose from Osteria’s 100-bottle Italian wine list — and afterwards, definitely try the decadent Nutella pizza . Read more

Lombardo or Parma pizza , octopus , veggies , pork , antipasto - all really good here and bombolone dessert is delicious. Wish there were more wine options. Great place overall.

You'd be surprised to know that Osteria isn’t as expensive as you might think. You can eat comfortably for well under $100 per person. Not cheap , but a great value for what you get on your plate.

Marc Vetri 's affordable dinner spot. Love it. Took a break after stopping by on every trip. Time for a return visit. Be sure to sit at the kitchen counter to see the action.

Order the grilled octopus followed by the chicken liver rigatoni . They're both perfection, but I could eat that rigatoni every single day. To repeat the words of another foursquare user, "pasta porn."

Great upscale spot for a date through a family dinner . Pizzas are great but everything on the menu is elevated

Thing I don't like: chicken liver . Thing I do like: chicken liver rigatoni . Marc Vetri & friends can be trusted with your anti-offal palate. Pro Tip: they secretly offer 1/2 orders of pasta .

The Chicken Liver Rigatoni is one of Philly's best dishes, and the pizza is some of the best in the city . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The antipasto board is an amazing selection of fresh vegetables . If you are vegan , just tell them and they can normally accommodate.

Lombarda pizza , anything octopus , beet & goat cheese ravioli , chicken liver rigatoni , and the pistachio gelati are all outstanding. Get half portions of the pastas and try a few.

Chef Michaud food is amazing, we feel like we are eating in Italy. Delicious , one flavorful bite after another

One of Philly's best. You can't make a wrong choice! Get the plin (beet-stuffed pasta ) if it's on the menu!

Absolutely must get the chicken liver rigatoni - one of the best dishes in any restaurant in Philadelphia

Linguini with Razor Clams was out of this world. Parma pizza as well . HIGHLY recommended.

Don’t miss Osteria’s prosciutto-and-arugula-topped Parma pizza , or the wood-grilled octopus with lemon and potatoes on the antipasti menu.

great ambiance with an adventurous take on Italian. don't ignore the specials & leave room for dessert :)

Lombado pizza is sublime. Octopus is remarkable. Postage stamp pasta is great as is the rigatoni . The roast pig special is one of my favorites. Antipasto vegetables is great for a group.

Everything... But don't miss the octopus

Marc Vetri 's margarita pizza made for a delicious candidate on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." We concur. P.S. - ask about the Nutella pizza .

Of all the things to love about Marc Vetri’s casual Italian hot spot, the pizza — lightly charred, with thoughtful, harmonious toppings — is the real superstar. Read more

The octopus is outstanding! Also noteworthy: Sulami plate with artichoke mustard (pronounced moose-tarde), blueberry sundae w/ coconut shortbread and the Torre Quarto "Don Marcello" wine .

The suckling pig head is amazing. Probably not vegetarian friendly - incredible meat, presented in a way that is not for the squeamish.

On March 30, Osteria’s Jeff Michaud & Elisa Scavino, & producer Paolo Scavino, will host a dinner featuring a spring-appropriate menu & the always-wonderful wines . Don't miss it. Read more

Try the Warm Semolina Tortino With Baccala, Franciacorta Sauce & Black Olives - Perfection on a plate!!

Overrated. Food was good (octopus , pizza and pasta ) but the server was not good. For 50 people working at the restaurant and the prices you'd think they'd be good at it. No need for me to come back.

Delicious food and fantastic service.

The pork shoulder at Osteria is fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious.

Travel to North Broad Street to Osteria, sit at the bar and order a glass or two or red wine to go with your pizza . The Best!
