" I came on a Saturday for dinner and was really looking forward to trying Osteria based on reviews I've read. I ordered the lasagna, which was good, but I've had better at other places. The service was friendly but not as attentive as I'd hoped. I saw potential in this place and may give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought Osteria 166 was just okay. The food was fine but didn't wow me. The risotto was well cooked, but it lacked the rich flavor I was hoping for. The service was respectful but felt disorganized on a busy night. I don’t think I’d rush back, but if someone invited me, I would go. " (*Curated Review*)

" Osteria 166 offers a memorable dining experience. I had the gnocchi and it was delightful, but on the pricier side. The ambiance is charming and comfortable for chatting. However, the wait time for food could improve. Overall, if you’re up for a nice relaxing evening with great food, this is a wonderful place to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner last week at Osteria 166 and it was okay. The pasta was decent, though not as flavorful as expected. The atmosphere was lively, but it got a bit noisy as it filled up. Service was friendly, but slow at times. I think I might try a different dish on my next visit to see if I can find something I like better. Not a bad experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner at Osteria 166, and I was not disappointed! The service was prompt even though it was a busy night. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi, which was light and fluffy with just the right amount of sauce. For dessert, I had the zeppoli, which were heavenly! Worth every penny. 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*)
