Our new favourite restaurant in Shrewsbury!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Osteria italian restaurant near me in Shrewsbury. We had the sharing starter which was literally overflowing with deliciousness. We couldn’t eat it all and didn’t want to fill up before the main course so accepted the offer of the rest being boxed up to take home. I enjoyed Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare with so many mussels, it was a feast! My husband had the Vibo Valentia with garlic bread. The depth of flavour of everything we ate was immense.
We kind of stumbled across Osteria and didn’t really know what to expect, but based last night’s meal and the friendly atmosphere, we’ll definitely go back! It’s well worth a visit.

Can’t believe this wonderful authentic Italian restaurant is in Shrewsbury
This is the 2nd time we have been here in a week. We were so impressed with the service and the food was exceptional. The staff were a delight especially Owen with his cheeky wit and the Chef came out to speak with us personally about a question on one of the dishes. We could tell he was very passionate about about his wonderful skill. We shared some starters and had the award winning pork belly dish which was absolutely wonderful. We have booked again with some more friends and will be regulars from now on. Also the only restaurant my mother fully enjoyed for a long time.

Fantastic food and excellent service
I have dined with my wife at Osteria on several occasions once in December 2022 and again on 14th February 2023 and again 2 weeks ago My wife has a serious medical condition and has to be very careful about what she eats. The staff at Osteria were very helpful and considerate of my wife’s needs. After explaining the situation to a member of staff , the chef came over to us and discussed the food available and what was suitable for my wife. Also what adaptions could be made to other food to make it safe for her. This was very good and made the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable for us both. The food was excellent, as was the . I would very strongly recommend Osteria to anyone.

So what is an Osteria?
An osteria is a type of Italian eatery with historical roots in hospitality, offering authentic, and regional cuisine in a casual, welcoming environment.
It reflects the Italian emphasis on community, tradition, and the joy of sharing good food and wine.
The word “osteria” comes from the Italian word “oste,” which means “host.”
Historically, an osteria was a place where travelers could find food, drink, and sometimes lodging.
