Osteria Crescendo - Restaurant in Westwood - 36 Jefferson Ave, USA

The food was delicious! Thank you to Jackson for making our first dinner at Osteria Crescendo wonderful, he was extremely polite and gave us a lot of good recommendations. The potato croquette was delicious, the raviolis were amazing & the steak was also delicious. The drinks were so good! I would definitely give our experience here a 10/10. We will definitely be back.

Excellent Italian spot in Westwood NJ! The truffle pasta is one of their most popular items and we know why. It was great and the chef came out to shave fresh truffle on top like it was pepper. The peach pie (pizza) is very innovative. The peach brings a sweetness and caramelization that we didn't expect. It's different than a Hawaiian pizza where the pineapple is just warm fruit. This is a must try! The fried calamari is different than what you would get at the local sports bar. It's crispy while the sauce softens it a bit without getting soggy. There is a little bit of spice but not overpowering to take away from the flavors. What we didn't expect was the elite level service! Jackson knew every inch of the menu. Moreover, he knew how the components of each dish were prepared to really give us insight as to why he thought the particular dish was good. It's been a long time since we experienced service at this level. Osteria Crescendo is definitely a must try spot. We will definitely go back again.

Celebrated my birthday here and the food was good but not worth the price. We started with the calamari which had an amazing butter sauce paired with it. For entrees, I got the branzino. It could have had more flavor but I liked how it was cooked. It came with soft squid and mussels as well, so you would like this if you like seafood. Parents got sole and steak, though the portion size of the steak was very small which was disappointing considering the price. We ended with an apple tart and banana bread which were good but I wasn't blown away by either. Favorite dish of the night by far was the calamari. It was a positive experience but probably wouldn't come again. For this price, I would rather go to other restaurants in North jersey

I first met Robbie back in 2016, just before Viaggio opened. I wrote a story about his experiences working in Michelin star restaurants. In almost no time, he’s risen the ranks as one of the best chefs. While deciding on a place to dine for my birthday, I knew I had to check this place out. It truly sets itself apart from other local Italian restaurants, which are more Italian American. I highly recommend the ravioli, chicken milanese, calamari, potato croquette, and limoncello cheesecake.

On a recent trip to New Jersey I had the fortune of being able to dine at Osteria Crescendo. My only regret is now that I've had their food, I will fiend and crave it for the rest of my life. The flavor profiles were so unique and complex. I have never had a better meal. I want to go back and try everything on the menu... however... I would happily eat the ravioli for every meal for the rest of my life. It was absolute perfection. I can't wait to come back!.. or maybe you could open a restaurant in Florida??

We tried this beautiful restaurant for the first time last night and boy were we impressed 👍 We arrived early so we could have a drink at the bar. Truly excellent bartenders and wonderful cocktails. This is a must if you come here. We sat down for dinner and we continued to be impressed. The attentive and friendly staff were super. We ordered the mussels appetizer and it was to die for. DELICIOUS 😋 I ordered the pork chop and my wife ordered a pasta dish with eggplant and both were superb. While this was our first time here it will certainly not be our last. Make a reservation because they got pretty busy pretty quickly.

Wife and I had an early birthday celebration! First time at Osterio. Waiter Jackson was knowledgeable and attentive to what we were looking for. Drinks were good and the food was fantastic. Try the Gnudi! Chef Robbie Felice and his team know exactly what they are doing! Definitely going back for other items we didn't try.

I highly recommend this restaurant as we had Valentine’s Day here tonight. Although we were not fond of the raviolis, the Orecchiette was actually extremely good. My wife wasn’t too fond of the pork chop but it was very tasty. As for my steak it was really decent and had a lot of flavor as did the pork chop. Everything seem really good just desserts were a bit dry. Will definitely come back here for a pasta just not the raviolis. Our server was very knowledgeable about everything, I’m only giving them four stars because of the dessert and the cocktails were OK. Not really the best place for alcohol although the alcoholic beverage I had got was extremely strong. Highly recommend
