" I have to admit, I was a little skeptical given the mixed reviews. However, my visit was truly enjoyable from start to finish. The bread service was a nice touch and the olive oil was some of the best I've tasted. I ordered the calamari to start, and they were crispy and perfectly seasoned! The pesto pasta was fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a small gathering at Osteria 166, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The setting was perfect for our group, and the service was impeccable. I tried the eggplant parmesan for the first time and loved it! It was unlike any I had before, with thick, crispy slices, and the flavors came together beautifully. I will definitely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Osteria 166 with my family and had a mixed experience. While the ambiance was lovely, the service could have been better. We waited a bit too long for our drinks, but once we got them, everything improved. The food was authentic Italian, though the pasta could have had a bit more flavor, which was surprising to me. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the overall experience and would give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
