Osteria Bar and Kitchen

Thank god Tampa finally got some real food. This place is amazing and you should go there. The service is amazing. She knew what kind of wine I would like just by asking a few questions, and it paired well with the entire dinner. I got the seafood linguine and braised short rib, both of which were a perfect 10. I would literally bathe in the white chocolate tiramisu. And I met Fabio, and he is just a dream. I love this whole experience so much.

Fresh, fresh, and... did I say fresh? The cocktails were well crafted and the food was well balanced and tasty. Good vibe for hanging out.

Incredible food, service was great and fast. I just got back from Italy a few months ago and the food brought me right back there. Amazing experience overall can’t wait to come back.

What a gem ???? we are so lucky to have in Tampa!! Finally authentic Italian food. I waited a bit to try it out (new restaurants usually have kinks) but I was pleasantly surprised my first time; the service was flawless and the food was delicious.. very well olive-oiled machine ???? for being so new. I’m so happy I chose to go with friends because we ended up ordering a bunch so we could all try different things. Hard to pick a favorite but that pork chop Milanese was INCREDIBLE! The portion is astounding and I’m not a big pork girl but it was juicy and seasoned well. Second favorite was a tie between the chicken Marsala (definitely a more unique version than I’m used to!) and the squid ink pasta. The salinity paired with the seasoning was just divine. I don’t drink but my friend had the Smokey Italian (mezcal I think?) and the presentation was impressive. Our waiter made a point to point out the smell of toasting cedar wood before the drink came out-very nice detail in my opinion. I could go on and on but you just have to try for yourself!!
