Osteria La Baia

Dined at this restaurant solo so only tried a couple of items but what I had was absolutely delicious and I will be back to try more options. Lovely decor and very comfortable bar seating. Bread is offered and should be accepted. It is an herb focaccia and is light and springy and delicious. Tartare is a standard portion with very toasted bread points. A traditional tartare, which is good, but definitely felt like it had some heat, not sure if it was spicy mustard or something else but highly recommend. Cacio e pepe was very good. A simple dish but not always easy to master. The pasta was perfect, it had a great chew to it and the flavors were on point. I had to try the profiteroles and they did not disappoint. They were filled with ice cream, which was tasty but not needed. Th

Mauricio A was our server tonight and he made our dining experience here so amazing. Warm, welcoming, knowledgeable about drinks and dishes. We can’t wait to come back while my husband and I are in town. I ordered the rack of lamb, it was cooked to perfection. The absolute perfect temperature My husband ordered the spaghetti Bolognese. He loved it and we shared a lasagna. Seriously the best lasagna we’ve ever had!

Came for a pre Christmas dinner with my wife and we will definitely come back. Hostess was very accommodating since we didn’t have a reservation. The food was amazing, we shared the lobster fettuccine, frutti di mare squid ink pasta and scallops. Thanks to all the staff for their kindness and to our waiter Renan, who gave us excellent recommendations. Next time we’ll have the Chilean sea bass and the olive cake!

Thank you so much to the hostess who picked up my call on Christmas Day and made our last-minute reservation happen. I had been here once before with friends, and I was so happy to finally bring my beloved friends back on Christmas. We loved everything from the moment we walked in. All of us truly enjoyed every detail from the drinks to dessert. The service was excellent as always, and the cozy atmosphere with warm lighting made the experience feel extra special and memorable. We shared a variety of appetizers and entrées, and everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
