‘O Sfizio Ristorante — Restaurant in New York

Staten Island's newest hidden gem that won't 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 it's 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...

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, waitress stating 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.m To 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...

I gotta tell youse folks that my Wife and I had a great time at this fine restaurant where everyone knows each other! We found this hidden gem looking for a new eatery to land at and we weren’t disappointed!!

When we walked in the door, Gennaro greeted us and although crowded gave us a table that we selected out.

Water, Focaccia Bread, and Bruschetta were placed on our table when we sat down. You can’t beat that kind of service. The bread was so good we had to prevent ourselves from filling up on it before our apps and entrees came out.

We ordered their just out of this world Burrata drizzled with balsamic glaze, prosciutto, roasted peppers, olives and sundried tomatoes plate for our appetizer.

For entrees, my Wife ordered their Rigatoni Vodka and I had their three cheese pasta purses with mushrooms and a touch of cream sauce with truffle oil.

Both dishes were just Delish!! I love the taste of truffle oil folks!

If youse are looking for a great meal and service, this is the place you should go to, please let them know that JB Cool...
