I have to preface this review by saying that I don't really want to give away this little gem... however in the interest of sharing: Our family had dinner at Osteria (pronounced Oster-ree-a) last week. It's our absolutely favourite place to go for birthday dinners within the family. It's very traditional Italian, yet with quite a casual and comfortable atmosphere.

The waiters are fantastic, all Italian and do their job with passion and flare. We ordered a selection of dishes, many from the specials menu as this is always extensive and ever changing. We shared a selection of dishes for entree including vitello tonado, grilled mushrooms and calamari which were all lovely. I had the sirloin steak with parmesan and rosemary oil which was superb. All the dishes come with vegetables to share between the table. I had honey walnut tart for desert which probably was the best desert ordered. My mother had the pears and was a little disappointed by their simplicity.

I find it hard to say anything negative about Osteria however a little word of warning the waiters do get quite loud and start dancing towards the end of the night. Its a little bit like you are a guest in their home. But I don't mind this, it just adds to this unique restaurant's charm in my opinion.

You are guaranteed some authentic Italian cuisine and service in this very lovely little restaurant. So much do the waiters make you feel at home, I feel a bit like I am part of a big extended family when I eat at Osteria. I think the menu is reasonably priced with pasta entrées $15 - $18, Mains averaging $22 - $30 and desert $6 - $10.
Try the Capretto which is usually on the specials menu, it is melt in your mouth heaven. I’ve also tried the steak with blue cheese sauce and fish specials and can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed which what has arrived. The apple tart for desert or tiramisu are delish. The only thing that could disappoint is the fact that it is often fully booked and waiting times can sometimes blow out to have orders taken or meals arrive, but I believe this is a risk worth taking!

Fabulous restaurant - they treat their patrons like you are a guest in their homes. My husband and I have eaten here a great deal and are ALWAYS pleased to have made the effort. The lamb shanks are delicious and the steak with blue cheese a smash hit. Sometimes a little noisy but great fun.
Many people who go their are return clients because its hard to find a restaurant that is a "little piece of Europe".
I thoroughly recommend trying the restaurant - shouldn't really do this because it will be harder for me to get a reservation.
