Osteria 106 53 West 106th Street, Manhattan, New York 10025

"I recently dined at this Italian restaurant, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. My only critique is that the serving dishes were consistently cold. While this wasn't an issue for cold dishes, warm plates would have enhanced the experience for hot meals. Despite this, the flavors and service make it a worthwhile. I would definitely come back for other dishes."

"The food here is fresh and prepared well. We had the fried calamari and the lamb, which was so tender it fell off the bone. The atmosphere is great. Cozy neighborhood feel. You could easily come here on a date or with a group of friends. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and actually Italian."

"Opening Service was lovely, they seemed to really want to start you off with the full experience - the service throughout can be a little much with many questions on whether you are enjoying your meal - this may be because I was alone or a way to check if you are finished and to bring your next course. Gorgeous interior with some ambient music playing to set a mood. Trio bruschetta: I first notice the tomatoes and herbs it is overflowing and unwieldy to eat spillage is unavoidable but taste is nice, fresh tomatoes, the next is the, prosciutto, and feta, this is delicious with fresh tasting cheese, that could almost be made in house, lastly the mushrooms and cheese was fantastic the fungi cooked to perfection, a standout amongst the lot was the fresh delicious bread base. Fettuccine Bolognese: Very obviously Homemade pasta a distinct mouthfeel and taste, natural fresh also cooked to a nice al dente, and a slow cooked meat sauce with definite care put in, I also liked how neither part was too much it was balanced between sauce and pasta very well. Highly recommend."

"This year it was my 5th Manhattan visit and decided to try Osteria on 106 on my son in law recommendation. For inside seating you have to call in but outside dining area can accommodate walk ins. Weather was warm so we sat out side. I ordered Cavatelli pasta and boy did I enjoy it with their white wine. Waitress was friendly and had many suggestions especially for a person like me who is on a very restrictive diet. If you are in that area and like Italian food you will enjoy this place."

"I am still here eating. This is not my first time here. I actually like the food, but the service is just not great this time. From pushing us to order to pushing us to finish our apps because they had fired our mains already (when we asked them to please not fire the mains right away after being pushed to). And then we waited to order a bottle of wine for 10 minutes. When I asked to order, I was told 'I am coming.' Never will come here again. Even though the food was actually good."
