Osteria provides a classy dinning experience and is a welcome alternative to the usual trendy but mediocre newcomers to the Cleveland restaurant scene. Don't be misled by the very modest entrance that descends a few steps down from St. Claire. Inside you will find white table clothes, an intimate but lively dining space, and an inviting bar. The staff is professional and very friendly, the menu offers a nice range of classic Italian dishes, and the food is outstanding. Pay close attention to the specials which are exceptional.
