| - In search of the perfect margherita pizza, I visited Osteria Costa as a walk-in guest on a Saturday just as they opened at 5pm. I was lucky to get a seat at the pizza bar, as all tables in the restaurant were apparently spoken for through reservations. This place is advertised as a rustic, casual reprieve, but it felt a little more upscale to me and I definitely felt out of place with my tourist shopping bags, yoga leggings, and sandals.
The female staff were all dressed in really cute bridesmaid style dresses and gave us some serious attention. We were checked on every few minutes, it was great. Sitting at the pizza bar was actually really fun because we were able to watch the chefs toss and prepare wood-fire pizzas, handmade pastas, and salads. This place cranks out a high volume of pizzas and I can see why. My margherita pizza was fairly priced, cooked perfectly, and adorned with soft and delicious mozzarella with a perfect, tangy tomato sauce. Though I didn't order any, the restaurant also offers a fresh assortment of in-house crafted limoncello as well as a vibrant wine list from the south coast of Italy. Those searching for an impressive Italian inspired meal won't be disappointed here!
