User Reviews for Osteria Gelsi

3 Star Rating: Average

The food was good. The service was just OK. We asked for our pasta to be served after our appetizers. Instead, they brought it at the same time as our appetizers. Be aware that their prices are higher than shown on Menupages and their own website.

Pros: Food

Cons: Their website should show actual prices; service.

After we were seated by the hostess we began looking over the menu and suddenly we were approached by another hostess and asked if we had reservations, as if we were not welcome. At this point the restaurant was maybe 1/3 filled. It took quite a while for a server to come over and take our drink order. During dinner the manager continued to circulate throughout the restaurant hovering uncomfortably over every table. Very creepy. Also. as we entered we gave our umbrellas to the hostess. Upon leaving the restaurant one of the hostesses gestered to another hostess to grab our umbrellas and she just pointed to where they were and said, "there they are." The food was good but the fact that the service was extremely lacking and the hostess was rude will ensure that I will never go to this restaurant again.

Pros: Decent Food

Cons: Hostess, Wait Staff, Manager
