Osteria Ama West Chester

I hosted my wife's birthday party here and they knocked it out of the park. There were 8 of us and the worst thing about the whole night was that the specials sounded so good, but there were too many. There were so many we couldn't remember them. The service was wonderful and the meals were outstanding! I had the seared scallops to start and they were AWESOME! Seriously, I wanted to lick the bowl the red pepper sauce was so good. The Ama Caesar was a hit as well and my wife raved about the mushroom soup. They made me a gluten free version of one of the specials that was an incredible seafood filled pasta. Others at the table raved about the chicken parm, risotto porcini, and the short ribs (I think) looked amazing too. The portions were large, but not crazy. We even had some room for their excellent desserts. Our server had to deal with multiple food allergies and did an amazing job. My favorite thing was she didn't just guess, she asked the kitchen and gave us answers. I loved every minute of our meal. Will definitely return when back in the area. If you're in West Chester don't skip because it's just 15 minutes outside town. BYOB is also a nice thing. HIGHLY recommend!

Came on whim, this past Tuesday, looking for a BYOB near the Exton area. This place sits quietly in a shopping center, however in spite of its tame external appearance the place is quite nice inside. Our server was great and very nice. We ordered Chicken Piccata and Salmon dishes which were cooked perfectly. The gluten free pasta left us surprised being macaroni, but it was cooked and seasoned perfectly to go with the Piccata dish. For dessert we enjoyed the chocolate creme brulee which was delicious. Everything is reasonably priced. Thanks for an enjoyable dining experience.
