Cozy Italian seafood spot with standout pastas and hospitality; prices are high for portions and saltiness can be an issue at peak times.
Osteria 57 delivers solid neighborhood dining through excellent housemade pastas and polished seafood paired with genuinely attentive service and a charming Village setting with a standout bar. However, inconsistent execution—particularly salt levels and portion sizing on peak nights—prevents grade A territory, while tight seating and occasional service delays during busy hours limit the overall experience. Worth visiting for quality Italian seafood, though expect premium pricing and variable peak-time conditions.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($29-38 mains) which may surprise casual diners
