Courtyard Dining: Osteria Fasulo

 

 

October 2, 2009

I’ve lived in Davis for just over two years now and still love trying new restaurants. When Rick Kushman suggested that the SacFoodies try Osteria Fasulo as part of the courtyard dining series I jumped at the chance.  Osteria Fasulo is an Italian restaurant located in West Davis: its location is unique in itself – the restaurant is situated in a residential neighborhood instead of downtown, where most others Davis eateries are located.  In fact, I was wondering to myself when we pulled up how a restaurant, so far off the beaten path, was famous for being one of the best restaurants in town… and then I saw the patio.

 

I would like to point out that the inside of Osteria Fasulo is homey, and very nice, but the patio is what makes the place so great – it’s huge and looks onto the restaurant’s garden and a neighborhood bike path. Lucky for my husband and me it was a warm summer evening and we wanted our meal to linger into the night when the patio’s strung lights would be illuminated, which it definitely did!

 

As per usual, we couldn’t decide what to try, so we ordered a selection of menu items and tasted off of each other’s plates.  After the order was placed and wine poured, our server left us to sit at our cozy corner table under the grapevines, while she started rustling through the garden.  We made our guesses about what she was harvesting and then saw her surface with a small squash blossom and immediately disappear into the kitchen.

It was to my pure delight when our first course, a Summer Squash Soup, came out topped with the blossom, stuffed with goat cheese and grilled – delish!

Our evening got better as the sun went down – the food kept coming and the service was very friendly and the staff was quite knowledgeable.

Lobster & Beef Carpaccio.

Just as we were being served dessert the owner, Leonardo Fasulo stopped by our table to say hello and ask how our dinner was.  I loved this – such a nice touch that not many restaurant owners take the time to do, and it makes all the difference. At Osteria Fasulo you feel at home and welcome to sit in the patio and enjoy until your heart’s content.  Of course nothing tops off a long dinner like a dessert and a latte – our choice was the Bavaria Cream with Raspberry Puree and Chocolate Shavings.  What a night!

Cozy Restaurants, Comforting Food

By Kira O'Donnell | From October 2008

 

Osteria Fasulo

Davis’ Osteria Fasulo is one of the most romantic restaurants in the region. Situated on the edge of a fecund community vegetable garden, it has a stunning outdoor courtyard bordered by trellised grapevines and punctuated by leafy trees strung with tiny lights. Indoors, the charming dining room features scarlet walls hung with striking artwork painted by owner Leonardo Fasulo and old black-and-white photographs of the Fasulo family. The menu is Italian, and you can’t go wrong with pasta, especially the handmade raviolis, with their silky exteriors and flavorful stuffings. It’s clear Leonardo Fasulo loves seafood, which pops up in his rich lasagna di mare (housemade pasta layered with seafood and béchamel sauce) and his hearty cioppino. The pesce del giorno (fish of the day) is also a good bet. On a recent visit, I tried the pan-roasted sea bass served on fabulous white beans. The restaurant also offers a nice selection of Italian wines. Guys, if you’re going to propose, this is the place to do it.

In case you missed it, Osteria Fasulo was featured in Sacramento Magazine's October 2005 Issue. The Dining Divas spent a wonderful afternoon dining al fresco and their rave review of their experience tells all in SacMagazine. You can also click our News page to view a portion of the article.

Fasulo had such fun hosting the Diva's party of 12, and as they said themselves, "Lunch easily could have segued into dinner, but for that four-letter word: WORK. So another Diva experience came to a close, regrettably, but we promised to return to Osteria Fasulo."

But don't take our word for it, read the review and find out why Osteria Fasulo is still the place where we consistently present the foods, flavors and feel of Italia. And, as Diva Gloria Glyer says, "You don't need a passport to dine at this Italian restaurant."
