Osteria Procaccini - Crosswicks

While this is usually one of my families favorite spots that we frequent, the last few occasions we have eaten here were quite disappointing. Most of our critique is with the wait staff, not the food. We have had the same waitress our last few visits and she was not friendly. She did not offer an introductory pleasantries, she never shares the specials, and she seems slightly ill informed on the menu / classic food. Additionally, she has mixed up orders and does often check-in throughout the course of the meal. While I enjoy the food and cozy atmosphere, the lack of quality service is becoming a deterring factor.

We went to celebrate a birthday with a reservation for party of 16 people. The atmosphere was great, the food was overall very good. The pasta was so fresh, the salad was very good, but the burgers left a bit to be desired. The service was AWFUL… our waitress had no personality whatsoever, she took the order of one side of the table and then moved to the two tables behind us and took their order before coming back to finish ours, she never came over to check up on us, water glasses were filled once and I’m almost certain I heard her ask my husband once if he needed a soda refill toward the end of the meal. The food took extremely long to come out, 14 of us sat with our plates while waiting for the last two burgers arrive. She barely smiled, very little interaction, no follow up and I was very surprised to see her hair down the entire time.

We came to Osteria on a Wednesday night with the kids and had a fantastic meal. Inside had a warm and cozy feel, making a great spot to enjoy dinner. We ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, garlic knots, Pizza Dora, and a margarita pizza—everything was delicious! The standout dishes were definitely the garlic Parmesan wings and the margarita pizza, both packed with great flavor. The pizza crusts were thin and crunchy, along with the sauce made it a great bite.

It was also a nice bonus that a couple of the items were on the happy hour menu, making them an even better deal. The quality of the food, combined with reasonable prices and a welcoming atmosphere, makes this a spot we’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!

This place is a hidden treasure. I loved it and will definitely come back. The waiter was terrific and friendly. Best Pizza in the area and I’ve had them all so I know, pizza is my favorite food. I have been there four times now and not once was I disappointed. Great place .
