Osteria Costa

"This was a great dinner experience with friends! Though a bit pricey the food was good. The cocktails are too pricey for what you get. Also, the atmosphere doesn't strike me as italian right away."

"This place was magical! The food was excellent. The violinist was amazing!! I was in town for a function and this was brunch on Sunday after all of the events. I will definitely return. Only request is more juice flavors for the mimosas."

"This was the first time dining here - went as a group for a birthday celebration - the brunch menu was extensive - made to order omelette station, made to order pasta bar, all great varieties on the buffet , delicious pastries oh and did I mention the waffle station as well! Our server was great, he kept the mimosas flowing and the music was great as well, with a live musician - you must visit this hidden gem on your next outing - the price point was perfect, half the rate of what we would have spent in the downtown areas for a descent brunch as this one at this location!"

"So Nicole was our waitress. Very accommodating and professional. Fast food service and constant check backs by Nicole made for a pleasant experience. I do think it may be a tad bit overpriced. Shrimp was over cooked but besides that it was alright for $68."

"This is not my first bad experience at Osteria Costa. I am local and have dined here for their Sunday brunch and other occasions. All dining experiences have resulted in unacceptable food delays and service. I haven’t had any issues with getting drinks at the bar with no food service. We came to Osteria Costa to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Laura, the manager, was also the greeter/hostess. She was very upbeat, polite and professional. She should be the model for the rest of the staff. Once seated at our table (we had a 7PM reservation but had to wait at the bar for a table), we ordered the Valentine’s Day special menu. We waited, waited, waited and waited for our food. We were out of drinks so walked to the bar to get them even though we had a server Imani (sp?). We decided to take our food to go except for the first course since it included raw oysters. We also spoke to the assistant manager Fabiano. The staff and kitchen seemed overwhelmed. It took well over an hour to get the appetizer which is completely unacceptable in the food service industry. It was good. We spent almost two hours there just waiting for our “To Go” order. When we opened the containers, the spaghetti al fruitti di mare did not have much seafood. It was more like one clam, one shrimp and one mussel as pictured. The spaghetti was ok but anyone can make it. The gnocchi was tasty. There were only two scallops for the pan roasted scallops and they are in the fridge with the rest of the food so I cannot comment on the rest of it. There is an opportunity for this restaurant to improve. We hope that Laura and Fabiano can turn this place around. Everyone, including our server, was apologetic. I understand you cannot serve food that is not there to serve. The food wasn’t horrible but if you want exceptional food and service at the MGM, I highly recommend Voltaggio Brothers. They are consistent with both food quality and service."
