Osteria Cucina Rustica - Marlboro

Now onto the food, which was fantastic. I ordered the Sea Bass, and it was so tender it practically melted in my mouth—cooked to perfection. Another member of my group had the Porterhouse, and it was equally well-prepared. The appetizers were a real treat, especially the crab meat and the octopus. The sides were generous, with the black rice being particularly noteworthy. I loved everything about this place, including the ambiance, which was perfectly lit. I can't wait to return with family and friends, and I'm especially looking forward to trying the Tomahawk steak next time. Thank you!

The restaurant offers a lovely atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for everyone to enjoy a great meal! My dinner was delicious! Damien was very accommodating with all our requests. However, as we were visiting from out of town and not quite dressed to meet the restaurant’s usual standards, it was disappointing to see the staff's reaction, particularly from the front hosts. Unfortunately, one of them lacked a neutral expression when we arrived in T-shirts and shorts from the beach. She appeared quite young and could benefit from some training on her initial responses. I can’t help but wonder if her reaction would have been different if she had seen the 2021 Land Rover we drove in. It's important to remember that you should never judge a book by its cover. Thankfully, the food was fantastic!

We held our engagement party last Saturday at Osteria, and we highly recommend it. Vic, Megan, and the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure everything met our expectations and that the event went perfectly. The service was impeccable, and the food was so delicious that our guests are still raving about it. We truly appreciate it and would highly recommend Osteria. Thank you, Angelo, for making our day so special!

Amazing place around... one of our most important go to restaurants when we are in the area. Everything is delicious, but the long trunk Artichoke app is to die. They also have large fresh pasta dishes and a calf (that they 'll make 3 diff ways) is crazy. The staff is also amazing.

I had a nice group dinner here with some excellent, real Italian food. We had the stuffed pepper special which was good and the lobster gnocchi special which was just about perfect. I had the ravioli and they were amazing, but couldn't tell if it was served with real guanciale or just thick bacon. Either way it was very good. Each flavor of the gelato was pretty good but it seemed more like standard ice cream to me. Be careful, each order comes with 3 big scoops. The service was fine and it wasn't very noisy in the corner we were in. It's definitely pricey here but probably worth it for the food. Overall I would definitely recommend this place. We also had a weird dress code issue. Apparently patrons can't wear baseball caps in the dining area, but servers were able to wear caps as they served in the dining area.
