Great place, the pork belly and Prosciutto appetizers are a must try, great cocktails and wine offering, ask for the sommelier, they will come to your table to recommend a bottle. Save room for dessert, the tiramisu cheesecake and gelato are deliscious!

Fantastic starters!! The bread and oil are amazing. Entrees were great but the appetizers out did them. The booth seating was not comfortable as it crowded your feet and felt like yours knees above your waist as u sat. Go for a table.

Incredible food, top-notch drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Ostieria 61 absolutely delivers! The lobster gnocchi was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Their wine selection is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that truly elevate the meal. Whether you’re there for a romantic evening or a night out with friends, this place checks every box. Highly recommend!

I was disappointed with my experience here. First, the bread I requested was never brought out. The ordering process was also quite chaotic — it felt disorganized, and the staff’s communication was hard to follow. They spoke quickly and softly, making it very difficult to understand what was being said.

On top of that, after we finished our dishes, the empty plates were left sitting on the table for a long time without being cleared. It gave the impression that service was inattentive and lacking care.

Also, the portion size of the pasta was quite small, especially considering the price.

Overall, the experience did not meet expectations, and I likely won’t be returning.

Service and atmosphere was excellent. The restaurant is in a beautiful space with lots of outside light. I wish I could say the same with the food. Pasta dishes tasted ok. I had the Rotollo and the pasta was mushy and not al dente. One of my fellow diners remarked that the taste and texture of the sauce resembled a Stouffers frozen dinner. Dishes like the rosemary focaccia and the hen of the wood mushrooms were very salty. We had the Frito Misto as an appetizer, the portion was nice, but it was very oily and greasy. I was hoping for light, crisp and airy. The straciatella soup was bland and lacked depth and savoriness to the broth. Dessert was a silver lining, the Texas Olive Oil Cake and the Chocolate Torta were delicious. All in all, items were inconsistent. For 4 people, we paid about $400 including tip. For this kind of money I would expect everything to be perfect.

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It was a beautiful restaurant, with Valet option (great for DTFW) Ask for Scotty! By far the BEST server we have had in a very long time.
The food was hearty, full of flavor, and by far the BEST scratch Italian kitchen we have ever experienced. They even gave us a complementary desert to end an already fantastic experience.
We will be back. You will not be disappointed. You have to experience it to appreciate this and promise you will not be disappointed.

Best Italian meal we've had so far in 2025! Stellar all around experience from making a reservation through validating parking and every element in between. Strong customer focus. Welcoming dining room with good energy on a Saturday night. Every dish was a delight and was something we'd order again. Parking garage directly across the street. And a connection to two other downtown spots we love: Grace and Little Red Wasp.
