Why clients pick us
Three things we do not compromise on.
Hand-rolled pasta, every morning
Eleven shapes made by hand every morning before service. Tortelli, garganelli, tagliatelle, the works. Nothing extruded, nothing frozen.
Wood-fired hearth, Wisconsin oak
Our hearth burns Wisconsin oak from a single forester in Spring Green. Almost every entree touches the fire.
Midwest farms, Italian soul
We source produce, dairy, and meat from forty Midwest farms. The technique is from Emilia, the ingredients are from Illinois and Wisconsin.

What clients say
Reviews we are proud of.
“Showed up exactly when they said they would, did the job for the price they quoted, no surprises. First time that has happened to us with a fine dining italian business in a long time.”
Greta H.
Chicago, IL resident
“We have used Osteria three times now and recommended them to half our block. They are honest, communicative, and the work is solid.”
Marc D.
Long-time client
“I called four other places before Osteria. They were the only one to actually pick up, the only one to come out for free, and the only one to put a real number in writing.”
Jules R.
New client
“Professional, on time, fair, and they cleaned up after. The bar should not be that low, but it is, and they clear it.”
