   This place is amazing, we walked by and saw the Christmas Spirit and elegant setting and that evening we where unlucky at first as we had no reservation, and it was fuly booked. Thank you to the late cancelation as we got to enjoy a beautiful and very delightful dinner. Easy to talk as we sat at the open window and enjoyed a lovely dinner out. Great staff and atmosphere! Thank you

   Had a lovely meal there this evening. Place was very busy, food was very good. Hubby had lasagne and I had the risotto. Both big portions and very tasty. Would recommend

   Great food and atmosphere, as expected from Osteria. The venue and food selection is well themed and chosen . Great quality. Service wasn't terrible but could have been a bit more attentive

   Enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner here. Staff were extremely attentive and the setting was warm & atmospheric. Highlight was the gluten-free pizza, highly recommend if you have dietary requirements. Only complaint was my lamb shank, which was unfortunately stone cold in the center. Staff replaced it with a new one and were very accommodating which didn't interfere with our overall dining experience. Thank you team,

   Visited Osteria for dinner with my partner. Service was prompt, polite and helpful, food options were quite varied and overall very good. I'd be getting picky to find faults. Would happily go again!

   Oooo, I love writing a 5 star review. It brings me joy and warm fuzzies and I think “damn I hope these kids get to see this. And I hope their bosses do. And their bosses bosses. And they buy them margaritas and feed them cheese.” We were excited to have a mid week dinner out. We’ve been to Osteria before and it’s been good. There’s a nice vibe about the place which I can’t quite put my finger on; which is a compliment. Whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it naturally. We were warmly and enthusiastically greeted. This is a BIG WIN in my book. Nobody wants to walk in to a restaurant and be met with apathy. The waitress we had was a delight. I had channelled my inner pleb and asked for ice in my wine. Terribly uncouth, but I’m paying for it so it’s my right. She wasn’t put out in the slightest. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to eat. Coming to an Italian restaurant when you don’t eat pizza or pasta is odd some would say. But Osteria has enough to offer reasonable alternatives. The first time we came there was a stunning veal saltimbocca but sadly this hadn’t been on the menu for some time. I opted for a platter and asked for them to go easy on the bread. (I’m a difficult customer) and the Favourite Husband took a trip in to retro land with the prawn cocktail. The prawn cocktail was tasty and basic, there was no trying to drag it in to the 2020’s and that’s ok. My platter was lovely. I had envisioned myself languishing over it, seductively nibbling on an olive, whilst sipping my wine for an hour. But I eat like a pig who’s been starved for a week. So there was nothing seductive or lingering about it. I inhaled that sucker. I’d have liked to see a hard cheese thrown on there and maybe some crackers or nuts but it was good. The Favourite Husband outdid himself with a steak that, in his words, was “right up there with the best I’ve ever had” with emphasis on the “ever.” Which was slightly rude as I cook him steaks … It was good value, good food, good vibes and good service. Good job

   Ended up here sorts by mistake (thought it was somewhere else). A good mistake though. We had a mixed platter for two plus a chicken, bacon & mozzarella pizza & some drinks. The platter was excellent (wasn't fussed about the sopressa hot salami though). Pizza was also excellent. Special kudos to the waitress who was professional and was a credit to the restaurant. Would happily recommend to others... A word to the wise tho... Dress nicely!
