€50 per person for three course meal-starter, main, desert and wine. The location, atmosphere and ambience was great. Truly cozy and cute Italian vibes. Very friendly service. Good quality food. The risotto was exceptional. The tuna was exceptional. The swordfish was great. The tiramisu was okay (too creamy for my personal taste I would prefer more bread/biscuit and booze) overall very nice experience. … the presentation of the food is very good… So good we ate before we could take photos

We don’t normally dine in restaurants with the 3.7 rating review. Thought we’d take a flyer on this one because it had a nice ambience. Service was very attentive in the beginning as we were one of the first tables there for the evening. We ordered a craft of local red wine and it was served cold. We had to refuse it at ask for one that was room temperature. We started off by ordering tomato, onion, cucumber, and olive salad. We typically start off our meals with a salad. Unfortunately, this one came with way too much red onion, not enough tomato, and the tomatoes weren’t very ripe. My wife had the mixed grill fish, and I had the carbonara. My carbonara didn’t seem to have enough pancetta, although the flavor was OK. Her grilled fish was just OK. During our meal, our ambience was quickly ruined when a local guitarist stationed himself in two spots in the alley and played music while singing and then passing a tray around to collect money. I don’t mind people trying to earn a living, but not while I’m trying to have a nice, quiet dinner.

We've found Osteria Del Pescatore to be a little hit or miss. Sometimes the meals are fantastic, and other times they're a bit less so. We plan to try them again to make a better decision on which is more likely.
