    We really enjoyed our dinner last night at Osteria Divino. It really seemed like a neighborhood favorite, not a place that is there to cater to tourists. Knowing that we would want to talk, I asked for a table away from the jazz trio that was performing, and the back room fit the bill. Our server was really efficient, but there was a slight backup in the kitchen. However, the food was great. I really enjoyed my saltimbocca and the desserts. Our favorites were the affogato and the ice cream with brandied fruit. My friend said that the lasagna, while delicious, looked a little sad - it was just a square on a plate. That was remedied when the server brought him a side of the wonderful mixed veggies. I would definitely recommend Osteria Divino!

    We ordered from the Light Lunch menu, the half an avocado with a HUGE portion of tiny Bay shrimp, and lettuce, of course, and mini yellow tomatoes, plus a generous container of Thousand Island dressing! Also the “cup” of clam chowder was a perfect accompaniment!
