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.

My favourite restaurant in Shrewsbury!
Amazing restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is great. The chef came out to speak to all the guests at the end to ask how everyone’s meals were and I thought that was really lovely. I have been told they are going to do take out over lockdown which I am so happy about because I don’t think I can go 4 weeks without their food!! I cannot recommend this place enough.

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.

Wonderful food
Great venue with an authentic and cozy trattoria feel to it. The staff were attentive, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Despite the restaurant, facilities and staff being fully kitted out for COVID compliance the atmosphere was very nice. The food was the star of the show. We had a variety of starters, all of which were beautifully presented, fresh and authentic. My carbonara was delicious and made with pig cheek as it is in Rome and others enjoyed theirs equally. Our deserts were generous and boozy, complemented by limoncello on the house . We lived in Italy for several years and try to visit whenever possible as it’s the only fix of genuine Italian hospitality we have found since our return; the well known chains don’t come close. We eat out a lot in this area and rate this the best restaurant in Shrewsbury.

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.

Tasty treat before lockdown!
Luckily we managed to book a table at Osteria da Paolo before the lockdown. Upon arrival we received a really warm welcome and the staff were very friendly and very attentive. The starters were fantastic, the mains were amazing and the dessert finished the meal off perfectly, the service was really good on a very busy night and the whole meal was really good value, a real tasty treat before lockdown and can’t wait to come back, highly recommend.
