Osteria Vespa

I took my husband to Osteria Vespa for our anniversary. The service was good and the food was delicious. We had the gluten free focaccia, the burrata caprese salad and the pork tenderloin Saltimbocca. The gluten free focaccia came out nice and hot, it was soft and pillowy with a wonderful crispy crust. The salad was pretty good, I liked the addition of the cara cara oranges. But the star of the dinner was the saltimbocca. It was so delicious and mouthwatering, and the roasted potatoes were great. The broccoli was a little bland and could have used a little char or something. Dessert was just as delicious. I got the Lemon crème brûlée and was very pleased with the bright lemony flavor and the creamy texture. My husband got an affogatto and he said it was good. We would recommend going to O

Hi We frequently dine at Vespa and have done so for the last 10 years every time we’ve come to a movie in Amherst. Consistently we have had delicious food, inventive drinks, but very disappointing service when we are seated in the area attended by a particular waiter. Each time we realize he will be our waiter for the evening, we bristle, readying ourselves- Honestly, we would not come back if it weren’t for the delicious food. Last night was no different. He was brusque and dismissive. I don’t know his name because he did not introduce himself. He’s tall and slender, and I believe he had a bit of a beard. We watched him be rude to the table beside us as well. We sat at the four person table, in the middle section, against the wall, just before the hall leading to the WC. We are curious

We frequent Vespa and always have a good meal. Tonight, however, we had one of the best plates of food we have had in Amherst during the 24 yrs we have lived in this town. The scallops on the menu right now are phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, balanced and absolutely fabulous. Hopefully, it becomes a staple on their menu and they dont ever take it off. Id eat it once a week - easily! PS - Please consider bringing back the frites as an appetizer!

Food was very tasty, drinks were decent. Service was horrible. Our waiter really ruined our evening. My 3 sisters and I went there for dinner after her baby shower. My sister is an alum of UMASS and said that this restaurant was really nice, but had not been in a while. Our waiter approached us like a bunch of young college kids, we are all almost 40. He never introduced himself, we asked if there were any specials, our waiter just said "nope". Pretty rude throughout the dinner. We decided not to get another round of drinks or dessert, when we had planned for a nice night out.

Fantastic find! We were here the night before a couple college visits and it was a terrific choice for all 3 of us that ordered. The focaccia bread on the app menu is a must. Drinks were top notch. Unfortunately, we dug in before I took a good picture!
