" At first glance, 745 Osteria seemed promising. The décor is modern and lively, creating a delightful atmosphere. The food certainly had good flavors, but I left feeling somewhat unsatisfied. The portions didn't quite match what I was expecting for the price point. Service was spot on though! Perhaps I should give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" After being recommended by a friend, I went to 745 Osteria and loved it! The pasta was made fresh, and you could definitely taste the difference. I also had the affogato dessert, which was divine. Service was prompt, and the place itself has a nice ambiance that feels both upscale and cozy. If you're looking for an authentic Italian restaurant, this is definitely the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time visiting 745 Osteria and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is lively and the staff are very welcoming. I tried the calamari and it was perfectly cooked, not rubbery at all. However, I felt like my main course could have had more seasoning. Overall a great dining experience; I’d glad to have a new Italian restaurant in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friends' night out led us to 745 Osteria, and we were not disappointed! The ambiance strikes a perfect balance of cozy and lively, which is ideal for good conversations.

" Had a delightful dinner at 745 Osteria last night! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a date night. I had the Gnocchi, which was simply exquisite – pillowy soft and rich in flavor. The service was attentive without being overbearing. I especially enjoyed the fresh bread paired with their unique sauces. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my wife’s birthday last week at 745 Osteria and, wow, what a meal! The service staff went above and beyond to make sure our evening was special. We sampled various dishes, but the gnocchi stood out with its rich flavors and delicate preparation. The setting was ideal for an intimate night out. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a recommendation and had a pretty good dining experience. My meal was enjoyable, while not exceptionally authentic. I liked the energy and vibe of the place, but my pasta was on the heavy side. Still, the service was impeccable, which made the meal better. " (*Curated Review*)
