    We celebrated my mother in law's birthday at this Italian restaurant as she loves Italian and it did not disappoint. The waitress was friendly, the specials appealed to our family and the food was excellent. We got to sit inside, protected from the strong summer sun, with a nice ambiance. My son gobbled down the meatballs, calamari and tiramisu. My wife loved the pasta special. I enjoyed the chorizo and seafood esplanade. The in laws enjoyed the special appetizer and the lasagna. Everyone enjoyed dessert Will definitely go there again.

    I love this place, EVERYTHING about it!!! Amazing food made by a chef that is creative and know what he's doing. Cozy clean atmosphere, my favorite are the fresh plants and flowers on their patio. The owner Joe is super nice and is really good at making custom after dinner coffee drinks. We look forward to being regulars here. Cheers!!!

    My wife and I came here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, and as soon as we walked in we were treated like family. The service and food were absolutely AMAZING!! Not only is the owner present, he is also waiting on tables and speaking to everyone! I highly recommend eating here. We will definitely be back as many times as possible!!

    Visited on July 14 for my birthday dinner. Had a cocktail at the bar and Ashley waited on us. Not knowing what wine I wanted she prepared me my personal wine tasting and then the wonderful patrons beside us bought my wine! Wish I had gotten their names. Dinner was spectacular, so many great creations. I ordered the Prix Fix and it was delicious. Others at the table ordered specials that were delectable. Angela was our server and was delightful, knowledgeable and very attentive. Wonderful evening for all.

    This is an absolute amazing hidden gem on the border between north Holly Springs / Apex. Take yourself on a culinary journey with amazing food. Nothing here is run of the mill. They have a solid menu, but we will be returning for the unpublished specials.

    Decided to take my wife here for a date night this past Saturday. Could not say enough positive things about this restaurant. The place was bustling with patrons and had a great vibe. As busy as it was, service was impeccable. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had great overall knowledge of the food and wine. Meal was 12/10. Would recommend and cant wait to go back.

    Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Impeccable service and the food was some of the best Italian around. It was busy when we ate dinner and we can definitely see why based on the quality of food and service. We can’t wait to come back!

    First, the service is wonderful. Nothing is stuffy and each employee will treat you well. We tried a handful of appetizers along with a couple entrees. Each was wonderful; the homemade pasta and delicious cheese often stands out. The calamari in particular is delicious and cooked perfectly. Oh, the bread and butter were wonderful as well. Best Italian in the triangle in a comfortable environment with reasonable prices. I wish we lived closer.

    This was our first time at Osteria & we loved it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service was excellent. The chef Manny is a wonderful chef. My husband can't stop talking about all the flavors he tasted is his Salmon. He said this was by far the best meal he's had. We will definitely be back real soon.

    Great service and good food. The music playlist is questionable though as this is an authentic Italian restaurant and they were playing rap and hip hop lol. If it were me running the place I’d try to play more Sinatra or even Michael Buble just something more Italian. I get restaurants are trying to be trendy sometimes but this change would definitely elevate the experience more. Just didn’t feel like we were eating at an authentic Italian restaurant because of this.

    Food was good and fresh. Calamari as an app was one of the freshest I have ever had...and it's been alot! The mussels were the other app, very good. Sauce for that was AMAZING if you're a fan of white wine, butter and garlic. It was so good, I had a spaghetti seafood dish and had the same sauce. Killer! My wife had the scallops over risotto, very good as well. Specialty drinks were good as well, I had a smoked type Old Fashion that hit the spot. Wife had a special sugared rim martini that she had to go back for seconds it was so good. Bill was higher than other places, but like anything you get what you pay for, so I will be back.

    First time to dine at Osteria G. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our service was top-notch with Jack and Matt. Yummy mega meatballs for starter and Trout & Garlic Shrimp as entrees...also delicious. Chianti rounded out a delicious meal. Only drawback, full restaurant = very noisy atmosphere. Kudos to kitchen & dining room staff for a delightful date night!

    Met up with friends in Holly Springs at Osteria G for dinner. Promply seated and the service staff kicked in. Wow!! There is a fine line between pushy and attentive, and we were right there. Myriad staff circled throughout the evening, ordering, serving, clearing, and asking if we were satisfied or needed something more. Seing no less than 5 different staff members during our meal. The food was certainly the highlight of the evening as our appetizers and meals were splendidly prepared and tasted great. The ambiance was good, and the atmosphere was upbeat. The hip-hop music was a bit loud and out of place in an Italian restaurant.

    Was recommended by a friend, boy was he right. This place did not disappoint. Greeted right away by our knowledgeable and lovely server Alyse. Alyse provided great service and came equipped with even better recommendations all while keeping a professional and personable persona. We went with all of her recommendations and they were so good I forgot to take pictures until they were halfway done😋. When you come definitely ask for Alyse as your server!

    OMG!! This place was amazing! Let me tell you about the food. It was authentic and delicious. Plan to have doggy bags because you have to try it all! The tiramisu is mm mmm GOOD!! Not only is the food wonderful but the service is one of a kind. It’s so hard to find a place that has everything but this place has it! ANGELA is such a kind, attentive, engaging lovely person. She wasn’t just a server but was like a friend! We can’t wait to go back. Such a cute quaint spot that is a must visit! Thank for coming to our table Joe (he’s the owner but definitely not the typical owner- he worked the bar and poured water. Love seeing the owner getting right in with his staff ;)

    Ashley was amazing, she waited on us and made suggestions when ask about specials and wine choices. She was very personable, the service was impeccable! Now the food, it started with the most perfect bread (crispy outside, tender inside) and a special butter which changes often. We ask for more, needless to say. The entrees were sooo delicious, we can't wait to come back. Their menu changes every 6-8 weeks. They have several vegetarian dishes. We sat outside in the shade and it was perfect.

    The food was amazing! We got the meatball appetizer and as soon as I took the first bite I was already anticipating my next meal here. I had the gnocchi fondue which was *chefs kiss" I can't wait to try the other meals that I was going back and forth between. Our waiter was super sweet and friendly. I wish I remembered his name because I'd love to give him a shout out. We had a reservation at 8 on 8/13. Hope he can get some recognition because he was just so nice. I can't wait to bring my girlfriends here for a girls night. Maybe I can get enough people so we can each order something different and try all of the food because it was just so good.

    My colleagues and I came here for a business dinner on a Wednesday night. I was able to make a reservation the day before for 14 people inside the dining area. There is also outdoor dining and somewhat limiting parking. We ended up having more than 14 people show up and staff was able to accommodate even with other reservations. We got a variety of appetizers, all were fantastic. We all got different entrees and everyone was more than happy with their food. I got the Truffle and Gorgonzola Gnocchi and it was fabulous. The service was fantastic, we never had empty glasses. I would highly recommend coming here and will likely be back when returning to the area.

    I would eat here everytime I'm in the area. Great atmosphere, amazing hospitality and epic food & beverage choices. Thanks Joe for the experience!

    Went to eat there for the first time two days ago when my sister in-law and her husband came down to visit. Excellent dining experience! Can't believe we have been living here in Holly Springs, a mile away from the restaurant and we had never gone before! Reserved a table for five, seated right away with no waiting. Very nice ambiance. Ashley was great, along with the hostess and two other young men that assisted our party. Food was delicious, pasta and bread was homemade, best calamari in town. My brother in-law, who is Italian, previously owned restaurants in New Jersey and he was very pleased as well. Highly recommend, will be back soon!!! Thank you for a pleasant evening.
