Give This Restaurant a Michelin Star!
Osteria is undoubtedly one of my favourite restaurants I've ever eaten at. As someone who enjoys everything from fine dining to a Maccies; Osteria just hits on every point.
The Food:
I had a duck terrine followed by the beef cheeks and it was one of the most flavourful and delicious meals I've ever had, hands down. Great care has been taken with portion size and presentation and everything feels like it has its place.
The Service:
The family run restaurant is attentive and friendly. You are welcomed in and given a five star service from start to finish with the staff taking their time to talk to you when you wish and leave you if you are busy talking. The service is quick but you will never feel rushed and the attention to the layout of the table is important to the staff. My partner spilled some wine and the staff took it upon themselves to clean up and cover the wine stain which was such a nice note and handled in a no hassle and respectful manner.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is homely and despite being a small space, there is plenty of room between tables. We were certainly the youngest people at the restaurant by at least a decade and treated with the same level as respect as anyone our senior.
All in all, this is the second time I have been to Osteria and the second time I have been wowed. North Berwick is now somewhere I would come to SPECIFICALLY to visit Osteria and when you go you will see why.
Please visit this outstanding establishment and show the staff your love. This is a restaurant that you will talk with your friends, family, work colleagues etc. for years to come. I certainly do and will continue to rave about my...
Read moreExcellent restaurant. Food was superb. We had goat's cheese souffle and salmon tartare to start, mixed seafood platter and steak for mains. All of it was beautifully cooked. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. As it was so busy (always a good sign) we could only get a late-ish booking, but we called in at lunchtime to check if there was anything earlier available. We then had one call offering us an earlier time, and another call when our table was available. Great service before we'd even arrived. Restaurant itself is a bustling place with a great atmosphere, even on a Wednesday night. Thoroughly recommend Osteria and we will...
Read moreExcellent food and very nice staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal it was superb. Only disappiintment was some rather poorly behaved and boorish behaviour by a few English diners who appeared to have had one drink too many, arriving towards the end of the evening (I'm English by the way☺ just sometimes embarrassed by my fellow countrymen!). Management and staff handled everything superbly and we would love to get the opportunity to go to this restaurant again. We later discovered that we were very lucky to get a table without an advance...
