" Before I visited Osso & Kristalla, I had heard many good things. However, my visit felt slightly underwhelming. The pizza we ordered was average at best, and I expected much more from what is advertised as authentic Italian cuisine. On the positive side, the atmosphere was vibrant and cozy, and the service did remain attentive throughout our meal. It’s a nice place for gathering with friends, but I believe I would try a different dish on my next visit for perhaps a more authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most incredible dinner at Osso & Kristalla! The lasagna was out of this world, with layers of flavor and richness that I simply can't describe. The staff were super attentive, genuinely caring about our dining experience, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was chic yet comfortable. I'm grateful for this gem near Minute Maid Park, and I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Osso & Kristalla, and I was eager to try it out! The atmosphere was trendy and polished. I ordered the wild mushroom risotto, and it blew me away! Could taste the freshness of the ingredients; it was rich and creamy without being heavy. The service staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. I'll likely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most delightful dinner at Osso & Kristalla. I opted for the special of the night—seafood linguini—and it was a flavor bomb! Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients that made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The service was excellent, striking the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us our space. The atmosphere was bustling in the best way possible. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true Italian experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Osso & Kristalla was enjoyable, but there were a few hiccups. While the decor was charming and cozy, making it inviting, the food did not quite match the hype. I ordered their house special pizza, which was touted as authentic, but it fell flat. The crust was soggy and the toppings lacked flavor. The service staff was friendly and attentive, which was a plus. I might visit again to give their pasta a try, as some other diners were raving about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Osso & Kristalla last week, and it was definitely a night to remember. Starting with the calamari, which was cooked to perfection—crispy yet tender. For my main course, I had the beef short rib ravioli, and I can confidently say it was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The ambiance was upscale, yet comfortable, making it ideal for any occasion. The staff was also very friendly, making sure our glasses were never empty. I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful evening at Osso & Kristalla! The pasta I ordered was perfectly cooked and loaded with flavor, but the dessert really stole the show—it was a pistachio cake that left me wanting more. The service was friendly and made us feel right at home, although it took a little while to get our drinks. The setting was lively, which I appreciated. I can see why this place is so popular, especially before a game at Minute Maid Park. Will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
