Every meal tasted like salt
by jayoldenburg
I have eaten here at least twice a year for the last several years and really enjoyed it. I ate there on 01/09/09 and was very disappointed. Every dish tasted like salt. The meal was like licking a salt stick. The bread tasted like bread dipped in salt; the clam linguine tasted like dry clams dipped in salt, and the ravioli special tasted like sweet salt. My wife and I were so disappointed. How could one of the best Italian places in Milwaukee have fallen so much. I won't be going back anytime sone.
- Pros: Service was excellent
- Cons: Food was disappointing

If you prefer to be ignored and then served sediment they call port...

Granted, my husband and I have been here several times, and with each meal, our server was a fantastic guy who treated us like VIPs. However, this last (and it will be the last) time we dined at Osteria, we were treated like second-class citizens, made to wait for a very long time to order, made to wait again for our food, and eventually cancelled our dessert. I ordered a glass of port as a digestif and was poured a glass of sediment. The server (different guy, our previous server left for a warmer state), Brian, was rude, unapologetic, and made us feel unwelcome. He paid little attention to us, instead, putting more effort in his service with the two 4-tops near our table. When I walk into a restaurant, particularly one that's not so casual, I expect to be treated as well as the other diners. My husband and I think the food's good, nothing too exceptional, but coupled with the experience we had, it was not worth it.
- Pros: Food was good, but not exceptional
- Cons: Everything else

Don't waste your money.

I have not heard much about the food, but the place looked cool from outside. So we tried it. The service was friendly, and at times quite good. I had a meat ball pasta and my wife had crab stuffed ravioli, both of which were very dissapointing and left a bad taste. I would spend my money at the Knick, next door. It's well worth the money!
- Pros: Patio, Service
- Cons: Food
