I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and time here. I made it just in time to order a few drinks off of the happy hour menu. You got to love a happy hour menu on a Saturday! For food, I ordered the spaghettini and a side of ciabatta bread. My food was prepared fresh, hot and was delicious. The server, Fiona I believe, was nice and accommodating. All of the staff was friendly and the manager and/or owner came out to check to see how I was enjoying my meal. The space was beautiful and clean. I sat inside but the out door patio was super cute with lights perfect for the evening. I’m not in Santa Monica often but I will return the next time I visit.

Great place!!! Went for brunch and everything was perfect! Drinks on point I had a margarita it was well balanced! The food was fresh and tasty. Pasta is freshly made so delicious! Pizza was delicious I loved the white pizza so good that I didn’t get a chance to take a picture. The service is great you feel at ease right away! I forgot my phone they kept it safe and they were just so nice, it’s a new place but I will definitely go back!

My first time here at Osteria Del Fornaio in Santa Monica, and I really enjoyed this place. The food was very good, and the service by Fiona, and Mathew was excellent. The pizza Margherita was prepared to perfection, the baked cauliflower was simply delicious, the foccaccia was fantastic, the Tuna tartar was delicious, and the Copa Osteria dessert was mouth watering.

I had a wonderful experience this weekend. An amazing happy hour menu. Food was great and delicious! An open and inviting space walking distance toward the beach and the promenade. The entire staff was attentive and everyone including the guests were enjoying themselves. Best dining experience I’ve had since before 2020!

In the heart of Santa Monica, the place is beautiful and big and clean! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The service was great, and the prices were fairly reasonable and standard for Santa Monica. The food came out hot and quick and was fresh and delicious! We had the wellness drink, the margherita pizza, and the pistachio pesto pasta.

It’s nice to see Santa Monica’s restaurant scene coming back to life. Osteria is what future dining is all about, open, airy and affordable. The food was tasty, we had a sampling of dishes (pictured are the grilled octopus and the tuna appetizer) & was treated to a chef’s tasting of a pesto pasta & a yummy cocktail, from their friendly, attentive staff. It’s newly opened, so once they get into flow, it’s going to be a happening spot. Welcome to the neighborhood. Came in for a 2nd time & they have a great happy hour!! Well priced drinks & appetizers!! Super friendly staff.
