Business Summary what's this?
L'Osteria in the Greater Boston area is a four star Italian restaurant. This is a great place. This is one of the popular restaurants you'll find in the North End area. It's known for its pizza. It's been awarded the Best of Italian Food award. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This place is handicap accessible and good for groups. Diners found the food great and tasty.
Amid a plethora of boutique-y eateries in the North End, L'Osteria's bland decor seems particularly undistinguished. Lackluster service is less than attentive, and the lag time between courses is a bit...

The worse Italian food I've had by far. I would even place Bertucci's above this place. We started with the calamari and although I really like the crunchiness of the breading there was no flavor. The…
