About the restaurant

Welcome to Pueo’s Osteria, an Italian-inspired, inviting restaurant that provides great food, prepared from scratch daily, complimented with a stocked wine list and set in a delightful osteria environment. Co-Proprietor & Chef James Babian focuses on original creative dishes, pairing the finest, authentic Italian products with select seafood, produce and meats from boutique farms (sourced locally whenever possible), including “farm-fresh” products from local farmers’ markets.

Engaging service, approachable pricing, great flavors and a lively atmosphere await at Pueo’s Osteria – food, wine & fun … "where the night owls meet."

We are local and have been coming here for the past 5 years. Pueos never disappoints! As a couple we love to dine at the bar. On this visit were were 3 (our daughter was with us), so we reserved a table. Luckily we were able to get three bar seats and were graciously served by Alex and Mitchell. (We advised the reception to cancel our table reservation). All the food selections were outstanding!

Dinner on Christmas day was no excepción. The Beef Wellington was cooked to perfection, as everything else. Jacob always provides us with exceptional service. Even on Christmas the entire staff was friendly, and happy to make our dining experience wonderful. A special thank you to Jorden and Chef Chris, the owners.

Basically the breakfast buffet with the addition of prime rib, crab legs, tuna and a couple of other things. The quality was very good but I found the selection rather limited. Price wise on the expensive side.
