*Call for reservations*Osteria translated in Italian literally means "a place where the owner hosts his guests." At Osteria Cucina Rustica we follow in that tradition. Life long friends Steven Botta and Angelo Bongiovanni have collaborated to design and recreate an authentic Osteria. A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience. We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible. The Bongiovanni and Botta families welcome you to Osteria, where we promise that you will come as a guest and leave as family.

We had a very good time at Barrel & Roost. Food was very good. My husband’s swordfish was cooked to perfection. And he is very cautious about eating fish out. Our server Samantha was excellent. Very accommodating and always checking on us. Kudos to you Sam!

Eat at this restaurant regularly and I’ve never had a bad experience or meal. Last night being two days before Christmas it was very busy so noise level was high. Had a great meal , sea bass and short rib bolognese. Highly recommended. Service was excellent.

It was not a busy night 12/23 so we were able to sit at a table of 4 to accommodate our party of 2. That was nice. Normally I feel very squeezed in. Food is always good except for their molten lava cake. I got a cowboy burger - medium. Cooked perfect and delicious. My husband got the smashed burgers he enjoyed as well. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive.
