Newly opened and SUCKED on every possible level!!! Where should I begin?We had our reservations at 7p.m ..Walked in into a very hectic inviroinment, loud and everyone was running around. At 7:15 finally got noticed and was told to sit down while our table is getting ready. 7:25 at our table ordering drinks. No bread & oil, no water, nothing. Our waitress keeps apologizing for a backup bar. . Finally, 2 very diluted awful spritz drinks arrived, waitressstating she only has 2 hands, so will be back with the 3rd one :) Ouch.We wanted to cut our loses right there, but decided to order 2 salads.Caesar came out soggy, extremely tiny and beet salad for $20 was simply small, tasteless & blahh.We then asked for our check.The owner came to our table and asked what is happening and if he can re-do, to what we said no. Next reaction was priceless: He flung his hand, turned around with attitude and walked away saying Goodnight. We were out at 8p.mTo top it off, our valet guy was nowhere to be found, so we casually took our keys from a display in the lot and drove off.What a terrible way to start your business in such way. (Hopefully, their pizza is good)Will not be coming back and make sure our large Ukrainian/Russian community is aware.
Food was excellent . Baked calamari was awesome . Seafood salad very tasty . All our dinners were excellent .The only thing that they could fix was the appetizers were just getting finished and your dinner was already on the table . Cocktail specials were very yummy . Place was very crowded on a Wednesday nite . Great customer service . A bit pricey but worth the money .
The service was awful. The waiter got two out of 4 orders totally wrong. One person kept the wrong dish due t hunger. The owner did not even offer a desert and we paid for the wrong meal which was more expensive than what we ordered. Food was good not great enough t run back again.

2022-07-13Staten Islands newest hidden gem that wont stay hidden for long!Despite seeing a couple less than stellar reviews online, my friend and I decided to try Osfizio after it was suggested to us by a friend. From start to finish, the atmosphere, service, and food were amazing. It was clear that the negativity others expressed was simply just the typical kinks that need to be ironed out when opening a brand new restaurant...especially in a time where the world is short staffed everywhere you go and most people are more on edge than usual.From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like family with a warm greeting from our server Gennnaro. While the decor was hip and stylish the staff displayed old school manners by pulling out our chairs for us...a small gesture that makes a big difference in terms of experience.We both ordered drinks from the bar and they were made perfectly which started the meal off on a good foot. For appetizers we had the calamari fritti which was perfectly cooked and the buffalo mozzarella which was light and refreshing. For our main courses, I had the grilled swordfish which was out of this world and most certainly fresh; a concern I often have when ordering fish. My friend had the veal marsala which was delicious and perfectly seasoned.Throughout the meal our waiter was attentive but not bothersome and the staff cleaned our table between courses...another act that may seem minor to many but its the little things that make a dining experience even better. The owner also came by to introduce himself and make sure all was well with our meal and service.Overall, I would definitely recommend Osfizio to anyone that is looking for a relaxing night out with delicious food and service. We will definitely be returning and will be recommending them to others.

2022-07-15From the moment we walked in, I knew this would be a 5 star restaurant. We were greeted by the owner, who also checked in on us when receiving our food. Our waiter Gennaro was attentive, and also cracked some jokes along the way.For apps, we ordered fried calamari which were amazing! We also ordered baked clams and hot antipasto just to get a little taste of everything, and both were delicious! You also have to try the pizza- the margherita was light, and full of flavor.For the entree, I got the fioretti boscaiola (money bag) pasta, which was out of this world. Quality is something O Sfizio definitely doesnt lack.I look forward to coming back for dinner very soon!

2022-09-01My pizza was made perfectly to my specifications. It was not overdone and the prosciutto and arugula were left raw as I requested. Top notch ingredients. I had the pizza in the photo, he had penne vodka with mozz on top. We each had one drink. Bill was about 90 dollars. Expect to pay manhattan prices but food was worth it.

2022-09-03Service lacking. They forgot to give our dessert. Pizza ok at best. My lady and I both had the same opinion. Salad delicious with pear. Her alcoholic beverage espresso Martin delicious. Being honest.

2022-07-10Love this place. It’s dangerous that it’s so close to our house. Super friendly staff and we’ve loved everything we’ve tried and we’ve tried a lot. We’re there at least once a week. Ask for Gennaro, tell him Lenny sent you.
