Osteria 106

For such a small space, these guys turn out consistently great food every time we visit. Clean tasting Italian food is hard to find, but you'll always find it here.

Opening Service was lovely, they seemed to really want to start you off with the full experience - the service throughout can be a little much with many questions on whether you are enjoying your meal - this may be because I was alone or a way to check if you are finished and to bring your next course.
Gorgeous interior with some ambient music playing to set a mood.

Trio bruschetta:
I first notice the tomatoes and herbs it is overflowing and unwieldy to eat spillage is unavoidable but taste is nice, fresh tomatoes, the next is the, prosciutto, and feta, this is delicious with fresh tasting cheese, that could almost be made in house, lastly the mushrooms and cheese was fantastic the fungi cooked to perfection, a standout amongst the lot was the fresh delicious bread base.

Fettuccine Bolognese:
Very obviously Homemade pasta a distinct mouthfeel and taste, natural fresh also cooked to a nice al dente, and a slow cooked meat sauce with definite care put in, I also liked how neither part was too much it was balanced between sauce and pasta very well.
Highly recommend.

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.

This year it was my 5th Manhattan visit and decided to try Osteria on 106 on my son in law recommendation. For inside seating you have to call in but outside dining area can accommodate walk ins. Weather was warm so we sat out side. I ordered Cavatelli pasta and boy did I enjoy it with their white wine. Waitress was friendly and had many suggestions especially for a person like me who is on a very restrictive diet. If you are in that area and like Italian food you will enjoy this place.

Nice ambiance. Small restaurant. Uncrowded for a Thursday night. Enjoyed a tasty pasta dish. Staff are very friendly and engaging.

Wow! The staff here makes you feel welcome and the attention is out of this world.

Im our table, we multiple dishes and no one had anything negative to say. It was all praises.

I am still here eating. This is not my first time here. I actually like the food, but the service is just not great this time. From pushing us to order to pushing us to finish our apps because they had fired our mains already (when we asked them to please not fire the mains right away after being pushed to). And then we waited to order a bottle of wine for 10 minutes. When I asked to order, I was told 'I am coming.' Never will come here again. Even though the food was actually good.

Casual Italian eatery. Nice service, cute indoor and outdoor covered seating. I’ll be back for the Creme brûlée. Takes reservations. Bruschetta had rotating toppings. While it was tasty the sausage was too much for me. The pasta dish was fantastic. Looking forward to return. The bread an oil tastes very good.
