Probably our fav restaurant in Fort Worth. I dream of the Capellini in between visits. Their From Italy With Love cocktail is a must have for us martini lovers.

Our food was overall very good, in very adequate quantities and was consistent. The food lacked a quality that put it over the edge for what I would expect out of a $100+ experience per person. However, it was very tasty and the service was great. The Caesar salad was underwhelming. The parmigiano was the highlight, but the dressing lacked the acid necessary to balance out the creaminess, and was under salted. 3.7/5. I had the bolognese, which was a combination of brisket, veal, and pork, but the tagliatelle pasta. It was also under salted, but it was substantial and had a savory heartiness that I would expect out of a bolognese. I needed to add parmigiano, red pepper, and salt to get more depth out of the dish. 3.9/5. My fiancee got the four cheese spinach pasta with pesto, and it was the highlight entree. The pine nuts and basil were fresh, and it had a depth of flavor that all of the other dishes did not. It was the only dish not undersalted. 4.3/5. We shared the brussel sprouts, which were great. Typical high end brussel sprouts that have a great balsamic reduction, they balanced sweetness with savory very well. 4.1/5. We shared a dessert, which they sorta got wrong because we ordered extra gelato on the side. We did not mind at all, and they ended up bringing out extra gelato for us because of it. The olive oil cake was good, and the caramel was incredible. It could have been a bit richer in the cake itself, and the salted caramel gelato was not nearly as good as the pistachio gelato, which was the right amount of subtle nuttiness. Olive oil cake 3.8/5. Salted caramel gelato 3.5/5. Pistachio gelato 4.1/5. Service from Chloe was great. She worked hard to upsell us at every turn (that's her job) but it didn't feel like she was suggesting anything we didn't want. She was very attentive. Her service was a 4.8/5. This place is worth coming for two different reasons. 1. Come once to try out on a fancy date. 2. Come after dinner for a double date of drinks and apps. Probably won't be in my regular rotation, but I'll likely be back.

I came into the restaurant with really high expectations, and while the ambiance was a highlight—the core lighting, tables, and everything looked very nice—the food was unfortunately subpar, failing to meet my high hopes for a supposedly top restaurant in Fort Worth, especially considering the widely held notion that one doesn't come to Fort Worth for Italian cuisine. We started with the Caesar salad, which was pretty good. However, the subsequent dishes were disappointing; the Frito Misto appetizer was plated nicely but lacked flavor, and the gnocchi with shrimp and lobster was also nicely plated but drowned in olive oil. We finished the meal with the Rotollo, which was simply not very good, leaving me with the belief that this establishment is not truly an Italian restaurant and that I honestly could have had a better meal at my local Joe’s Pizza.

I had a lovely time here during their Happy Hour! I will say that the happy hour didn’t save me TOO much money and I could’ve gone without it — I don’t really like olives or super salty things, so that part of the deal wasn’t as much of the draw!! The wine was yummy and I really enjoyed my pasta! It was a rolled pasta with a lot of cheese and a bolognese-esque sauce, and it was delicious! However, I felt that the portion size was fairly small for how much I paid. I still loved the flavor, though. The atmosphere was tidy, formal, but still had character in the color use. The walls of windows are really nice to allow a lot of natural light into the space. The service was nice, and the waiters did not make me feel silly for eating alone (I had some cards/letters to write, so I went somewhere that my friends don’t usually want to visit so I could check off a bucket list spot!) Overall, I recommend, but they could be PERFECT if they ensure that food prices are worth the portion-sizes, especially being in a college town where some students are not rich enough to pay so much for a smaller size! I really enjoyed 61 Osteria!!

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!
