A New Chapter in Italian Dining
Osteria Crescendo isn’t just an Italian restaurant in Westwood, NJ; it’s a bold evolution in what Italian dining can be.
Our Story
Created by acclaimed Chef Robbie Felice and his father, seasoned restaurateur Joe Felice, Osteria Crescendo brings modern Italian energy to the heart of Bergen County. Inspired by the lively osterias of Italy, Crescendo is a place where flavors are big, the vibe is lively, and every night feels like a celebration.
Robbie’s culinary journey spans from the Culinary Institute of America to Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe. But it’s his bold creativity, tireless work ethic, and love for authentic Italian food that have earned him accolades like NJ Monthly’s “30 Best Restaurants” and the title of “Culinary Superstar” from NorthJersey.com.
At just 28, Robbie opened Osteria Crescendo to push boundaries, not just replicate past success. With a sleek space, a full craft cocktail bar, and a menu centered around refined pastas and seasonal dishes, Crescendo offers a fresh take on Italian food designed for the modern diner.
Here, it’s not just about what’s on the plate, but the energy in the room. From the buzz of the bar to the theatrical presentation of a whole branzino or a 40-ounce tomahawk, Osteria Crescendo invites you to dine with all your senses.
A celebration of Italian culinary traditions with a touch of artful modernity comes together in Westwood, New Jersey.
