Osteria Crescendo

Nice restaurant, great food and service. Will add to list of Jersey side places for nice dinner out.

It was…just okay. Lovely space but the food service is disorganized. Our server kept appearing at the wrong times and then went missing for long periods of time. We also informed him of an allergy and immediately after, he went into recommending a dish with the thing we just informed him we were allergic to. The food was also really disappointing especially for the price. The calamari which we love at Viaggios was greasy and not as great as it normally is. The oysters were tasty but not properly removed from the shell so the foam ended up falling off. The burrata dish is lovely but the burrata itself isn’t creamy, which is super disappointing but the carrot purée was great. The pasta….lackluster. The “carbonara” was huge but also, not great? Pasta is almost too al dente and was tough. The pancetta while good was sloppily cut so some pieces were huge and others super small. Same thing with the brussel sprouts. Sigh. We went for an anniversary and the experience was just meh. The server didn’t go that extra step of proactively putting a candle in the dessert or offering anything really, those things had to be requested. We’re all dealing with the effects of inflation but creating memorable experiences is what keeps people wanting to go out versus just cooking at home.

The best food I’ve had in a very long time. The customer service is superb and the fried calamari is to die for. I can’t stress enough for you to go and eat here.
