Interested to find out that Osteria is owned by Cioppino (right next door).  But the service and food are inconsistent.  I like the prices here, the food is rather inexpensive, so you get a lot for your money.  We had a large party and waited a long time for our food, but Osteria was aware of that and they brought out a tray of free desserts.  They also did not charge one person for their beer.  So they are trying real hard to improve. Let's hope they can do better!  I ordered the seafood pasta.  It was okay, just not the heavy creaminess and rich flavor I was hoping for.
