Fantastic food! We got the frito misto and seafood linguine. Wait staff was slow and there was a large gap between seating and ordering. Loved BYOB. Ambience is a little miss, could have been designed better inside.

Food was really good, as authentic as it gets in this area. The service was good but the staff seemed surprised that a black woman had so many questions about Italian food.

Food good service great love the decor and everyone was so friendly. Easy to get to and very nice building

I have been to all of their restaurants down at the Jersey shore, but this was a first time at Otto in Bryn Mawr. It was an amazing meal! We had the pleasure of sitting on the side enclosed patio which was a nice little addition to the restaurant. We were told when the weather gets nice, the windows and ceiling retract, giving the guests a nice fresh air atmosphere. Right off the septa train tracks, so very easy for my family to hop on in malvern for a quick ride right to the front door of the restaurant! I always enjoy a BYOB. I get to bring my own wine and not have to worry about racking up a big bill because I want to indulge on a Saturday evening! We started off sharing the bacon wrapped artichoke as well as the Brussels sprouts. They were packed with flavor and the perfect starter before our entrees. Our table ordered the Veal Picatta, chicken Milanese, chicken Marsala, and the xxx. I had the pleasure of tasting all of the dishes and they were all magnificent. Each dish had its own delicious sauce that complimented the perfectly cooked meat/chicken. Packed with flavor and savory to the very last bite. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great. Can't wait to come back soon (especially when it's warm and we can enjoy the outdoor seating!).

BYOB Good service The salads are very nice The soup was very good. It was different as it wasn't like a traditional manhattan clam chowder. It was thicker like a bisque didn't really have much potato or veggies and was a little bit sweet. It did have more clams than I have ever seen in any other soup. The risotto was good as usual from other locations in this restaurant group. Lastly was the truffle seafood stuffed pasta special. It was a cheese and truffle stuffed pasta pillow. In a pink cream sauce. With lobster and scallops. It was good. I think by the end of the meal the truffle was a little too rich. The sauce and the seafood were very good and everything paired very nice The dessert was only ok The lemon cello flight was pretty basic The chocolate cake was dry and covered with a heavy layer of frosting. Go for the food skip the desert

Authentic Italian in a relaxed, modern atmosphere. We arrived for our reservation and were promptly seated by the hostess with menus and fresh (cold) ice water. Our server explained the daily menu and suggested we try the homemade chicken vegetable garbanzo soup-- delicious and warming on a cold November night! The charcuterie board, rustic bread and soup were a great trio. My colorful entreé (penne alla vodka) arrived steaming hot in a wide rim pasta bowl, smelling as delicious as it tasted! I immediately noticed the pancetta was smoked-- adding a depth of smoky flavor to the cream sauce I didn't anticipate. Nice surprise! Our server stopped by to offer a garnish of cracked pepper and fresh grated parmesan, which proves true... the little things make a big difference! I appreciated this service. We ended our evening in Bryn Mawr with homemade tiramisu (with lady fingers) and raspberry cake. While both desserts were light and airy... the fluffy tiramisu just won me over! Thank you for a great evening of lovely foods and service!

Highly recommend if you're looking for incredible authentic Italian food!! I love that it's BYOB and how accommodating they are with whatever you bring. My friend lived in Italy for a few years and said this is one of the most authentic places she's found in the area. The fresh bread is great but the olive oil to go with it was amazing. It was dark green and one of the best olive oils I've ever had. This was the best gnocchi I've ever had. I'm usually hesitant to order gnocchi because they tend to be little balls of hard dough. These gnocchi were the exact opposite. They were fluffy and melt in your mouth. The cream sauce was delicious without being too rich. The Caesar salad was good but had a bit of a smoky flavor to it. The artichoke appetizer was good but we had it without the prosciutto for the vegetarian at the table. The sauce was creamy but a little bitter and the balsamic didn't cut it enough. The artichoke has a good charred flavor. It was good but I'm sure it would be even better with the prosciutto. Wasn't a fan of the chocolate caramel cake. It was a bit powdery and chalky. Only downsides of the place- it's al a cart so no sides come with the entree and you need to order all at once; not course by course orders
