" Pleasant experience overall at Osso & Kristalla. I found the menu to be quite limited, but what I ordered—the chicken parmesan—was decent enough. The sauce had a nice flavor, but I wish it had more cheese. The service was prompt, and our waiter was friendly. The atmosphere was busy but lively, which was enjoyable. Would I come back? Possibly, but I'd want to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Osso & Kristalla based on recommendations, but I will admit I was left unimpressed. The pizza lacked authenticity, and the crust was soft instead of the expected crispness. The service was very good; our waiter was charming and attentive. I guess it was just an off day for the food. I might try a different dish if I return, as some reviews did mention that the pasta options were better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was okay, but the service left much to be desired. We had to wait to place our order longer than expected, and it took a while to receive our food. On the plus side, the ambiance was enjoyable, with tasteful decor and a cozy vibe. Overall, I hope they can improve on service because the food certainly showed promise! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent experience at Osso & Kristalla. The appetizers were enjoyable, especially the artichoke dip, but I found the main courses to be a bit underwhelming. I had the lasagna, which sadly didn't hold up to my expectations based on the reviews. The atmosphere was electric, with a perfect buzz around the game day crowd. The service was satisfactory overall. I think I'll wait a bit before I try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Osso & Kristalla! I just had my birthday dinner there, and it was fantastic. The manager even surprised me with a complimentary dessert—how sweet! I ordered the truffle risotto, which was creamy and rich. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy; the perfect blend for a celebration. Our waiter took excellent care of us, making sure everything was just right. I will absolutely be returning to celebrate even more milestones! " (*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*)
