I was really hoping that it would be good restaurant unfortunately it was pretty bad I ordered this skinny flower it came wrapped with a dough cheese inside and not good at all. For the main course I had the ossobuco, big portion but absolutely tasteless it was smothered with some kind of sauce that came out of a can, the risotto that came with it was okay. Very disappointing.

We had a very strange experience this evening. Reservations were made well in advance for 4 at 5pm. Restaurant is small indoors but also offers outdoor seating. I was seated indoors for 5 minutes before the rest of our group arrived. Throughout our meal, most of the tables were empty until 7-7:30. Even then, approximately 3-4 tables remained empty. From the time that our party arrived, our server was at our table literally every 5 minutes although I stated that we hadn’t looked at the menus and weren’t ready to order. (We were all well aware that the restaurant closed at 9.) After being hounded multiple times, we placed our orders. The food arrived very timely and was very good! However, the server continued to rush us through our meal asking if we were ready for coffee before even finishing our meals. After finishing our meals, our server came to our table at least 4 times asking if we’re ready for coffee and/or dessert. As stated the food was delicious but the service/treatment was uncalled for.

Just left Osteria Trulli. OMG! It was so wonderful. The service was fabulous. And it was pretty busy.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! We decided to eat here because we needed something nearby and agreeable (after all, who doesn’t like Italian food?). That said, Osteria Trulli would make for a fine special occasion restaurant. The interior is beautiful, with its brick faux trulli houses on the walls and other charming accents. They have a woodfire oven, which elevates things like bread and pizza to new heights. The pasta appeared to be fresh and handmade. The sauces were all phenomenal. The pricing is definitely special occasion pricing, and you will pay for bottles of water, just like in Europe. That said, the high quality is reflected in all areas: in the ambiance, in the service, and in the food. You must give Osteria Trulli a try!

If you want authentic Italian, this is the place to go! The menu looked liked it was picked right out of Italy and the food was delicious. You could really tell it was homemade and it felt like I was back in Italy with just the atmosphere alone. They have a diverse menu and honestly you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. Definitely make a reservation because the inside is a little small and it’s usually pretty booked from my experience. This is our go-to Italian restaurant now, I hope you make it yours!

My first experience was great.( only had appetizers) Friends had recommended it. I took my family this past weekend and was so disappointed. It seemed the regulars were treated much better with service, Chef was also visiting their tables while ignoring ours. No bartender, the waitress prepares your drinks for bar service.(maybe why we waited so long for drinks) Waited another 15 minutes just to get a drink. 15 more to take our appetizer order. Apps were good but dinner was enough reason, not to go back. They had a burrata special, I ordered it, I was charge $30 because the waitress decided on her own to charge us for 5 people when the “special was for 2” we were sharing, didnt need a larger plate with more lettuce and she knew iordered two other appetizers. She never asked or explained. Next dinner,

The lamb that I ordered was not seasoned well, my friend’s steak was overcooked, and the salad that we ordered did not come out on time. We asked the server not to serve the salad anymore since we originally planned on eating it with the grilled calamari. But she served it anyway lol (maybe she just didn’t hear us). Oh, and just note that if you order a dish from the meat section of the menu, although it says it’s served with risotto and veggies, do not believe it. Apparently, not all the meat dishes come with risotto, just 3 out of the 5 dishes (which doesn’t explain that at all on the menu, please make that change).

Cozy, quaint authentic Italian cuisine – a hidden gem! Don’t let the strip mall location fool you, this restaurant was divine! Delightful and helpful staff, and the food was INCREDIBLE! I had the lobster ravioli, my husband had the seafood risotto and each bite was pure joy! Definitely coming back!
