If you’re up for a meal that feels special without being stuffy, make the trip to Denton for Osteria il Muro. This intimate Italian restaurant is known for its seasonal menus, handmade pastas, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. The cozy dining room and ever-changing dishes make each visit feel unique, whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply treating yourself to a great night out. Reservations are required, and often they fill up for the whole week within minutes, so a little planning ahead is necessary— and absolutely worth it.
