We weren't looking for something special, but we surely found it! It has a lovely cozy atmosphere, with several small rooms, all decorated for the holidays. The wine list was chosen with care to be easily paired with the food order. All of us had homemade pasta and loved the texture and taste. Mine ravioli was stuffed with wild duck... More

Explored Falmouth on a beautiful sunny Cape Cod Saturday. Osteria did not open until 5:30 pm, but we were allowed in early and had a drink at the bar. The bar is rather small, but they had a very good wine menu. We all selected a different red and shared - nice way to try different wines. We started with... More

Nice location, friendly service, food a letdown. Main course came very quickly and had obviously been cooked beforehand and reheated. Very disappointed. Could it have been the chefs night off!

We visited on a Thursday in early October. Two other restaurants in the town were full and had queues awaiting a table. This restaurant had lots of tables - not usually a good sign.

My wife and I had a lovely dinner sitting in the bar area. This is a small local restaurant and the food was super. I'm not a food expert but the two dishes we had were very good and we'll go back the next time we are in Falmouth.

We spend a few weeks in Falmouth every year, and Osteria La Civetta is the one restaurant we return to visit each season. The staff is pleasant, atmosphere is very nice, and we really enjoy the food. Fresh pasta, fresh fish, and local ingredients remind us of restaurant we've visited in Italy.

This restaurant brings us back to the family run restaurants we loved in Florence. We love trying whatever specials are on the menu and have not been disappointed. The pasta is heavenly. They have a nice wine list and the service is wonderful.
