It was our first time at Osteria. We kept passing by it since we live about 4 blocks from there. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and we would've ate inside except they said their AC wasn't working and it was 90 degrees so we ate in their outdoor area. The menu looked impressive but we were quickly disappointed when we received our food. We ordered a Mediterranean salad and it was so ordinary. Way too much vinegar and it was served a bowl the size the you would pour cereal in. The taste of the salad and the small portion was a preview into the entrees. I ordered the pasta Norma and my husband had the fettuccine bolognese. Again the pasta bowls were so small and it would've been fine if the pasta dishes were delicious but alas they were not. The sauce was so sweet and I hate sweet food, especially when it doesn't belong there . I understand that sometimes sugar is used in tomato sauce but you shouldn't be able to taste it. I really tried to like it because I was hungry but I had to send it back. It was the same with the bolognese but we didn't want to send back both dishes. The service was good and the waitress was nice but not enough to return here. For the portion size the menu is way overpriced. We won't be back.

First time viewing a movie at new plaza cinema. The movies shown are wonderful, usually foreign films. This little theater is very old. Seats are somewhat uncomfortable, no place to put a drink or bottle. Screen is small in comparison to other theaters. I wish they would clean up the room some. There are garbage cans around the theater and a desk in the corner. Felt like I was in someone’s messy office. It was a little disconcerting. How does a theater run without selling any drinks or snacks? You’re watching a movie that’s close to 3 hours and have to sit there thirsty. A small concession stand is definitely needed. The movies chosen are the best part.
