Last week, Charlestown welcomed new Legal Sea Foods offshoot, Legal Oysteria, to its neighborhood with open arms and big appetites! As soon as the doors opened on Wednesday, locals took the restaurant by storm, filling every seat.

An official source tells us that the osteria has been slammed since its opening, exceeding the restaurant’s expectations. And with dishes like Roasted Clam Pizza, Grilled Stuffed Trout, and Steak Pizzaiolo, this coastal Italian seafood restaurant will probably remain popular for quite a while.

In addition to their dinner menu, we have it on good authority that Legal Oysteria will soon be launching lunch service as well as a late-night menu offered nightly until 1 a.m. In the meantime, take a look at the Charlestown hot spot – and some of its dishes – in the photos below.
