My first time at the osteria, waiters very polite, dealt with all our needs. Only things i would say is it was a good hour wait for our mains. And the restaurant should offer a pepper grinder per table to apply your own because mine was so heavily peppered i couldnt really taste my carbonara

Together with my wife we took our 2 young girls out for Sunday Lunch at Osteria. We hadn’t visited before but had one of the happiest and most joyful family meals we’ve had anywhere! A relaxed, laid back vibe with some Italian rock and pop playing, it felt very Italian and very authentic from the start. The lad who served us was an absolute superstar! I can’t tell you how good his service was. Attentive yet not over bearing and absolutely nothing was a problem for him. With the two girls, our ordering got a little complicated throughout the meal but he always checked he understood us before leaving the table and everything arrived exactly as we needed it. This lad needs protecting at all costs! Such an asset to the restaurant! The girls shared a pizza, it turned up freshly made to order and almost the size of the table! We weren’t sure they’d finish it but devoured it in about 3 seconds! My wife and I shared an antipasti board for 2, I thought it seemed pricey on paper but when it arrived you could see why it had the price tag - totally worth it. Great flavours, great produce! We then had 2 main dishes which were absolutely packed with flavour and served piping hot, clearly fresh out the kitchen! Osteria does not shy away when it comes to generosity and flavour! Such a fulfilling and lovely meal in so many ways! Truly happy, comfort food. It put us all in such a lovely mood! Eating out with our kids can be tricky but this place put them in a relaxed place and filled them with delicious food! We almost felt like we were on holiday! This was a really special family meal and we can’t wait to be back! Thank you to everyone!

Looking for somewhere to stop for lunch during a journey from East to West, we booked here after looking at many menus and reviews around the area. We’ve been to Italy several times including Sicily, Amalfi, Rome and Tuscany, but rarely had food as good as this. We both had 3 different courses and tasted each others’ food so both got to try 6 different dishes, and we agreed every plateful was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient, all,adding up to a wonderful lunch experience. If we didn’t live nearly 3 hours drive away we would dine here quite a bit based on this visit!

We had quick meal here on Saturday eve. Food was great but our waitress was so rude it was almost comical. My hubby only wanted a starter Porco v2 bites and I had ravioli chiantigiana main and we ordered a bottle of wine. The waitress said is that all your ordering and we explained that my husband had lunch out and sorry he was not that hungry. She then whipped the menu of the table like she was in a huff. I had a desert and my husband wanted a grappa an Italian digestive , which apprantly they don't sell even though they have a grappa on the menu. Our bill came to £69 I am really sorry if our order was to small. Not the best experience luckly we were in a good mood and decided not to let the waitress ruin our evening. So suggest go hungry.

We had trouble finding the entrance, because the back door didn't have a sign pointing you to the entrance, it just looked like it was closed. We had lasagne and chips, seafood spaghetti (with octopus) and a child's ham and mushroom pizza followed by salted caramel crumble pot (no crumble, just a slice of shortbread?!?) chocolate orange cake and chocolate ice cream. The mains were good - the spaghetti was better than the lasagne. The desserts were good. We are quite early in the evening, so it was fairly quiet, but it only took about 10 mins for the mains to arrive. The staff were friendly.

Wow - the chef here really can cook ! My main of pork cooked three ways was a plate of sheer melt in your mouth deliciousness ! The meat was so tender, and the mustard jus absolutely divine. I adored the cheeky pork Bon Bon’s. My starter of aubergine parmigiana was the best I’ve ever eaten - and believe me I’ve had a lot! On a personal note I felt it didn’t need to be served on bruschetta, which distracted from it… I could have eaten it by the bucket load just as it was ! I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderfully authentic Italian restaurant ! Bellissimo !

Decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary at a new place and chose Osteria based on glowing reviews from friends. We weren't disappointed as it was one of the best meals we've ever had. The crisy belly pork antipasti was divine as were both mains - a sausage risotto and a beautiful ricotta&spinach stuffed ravioli with porcini and truffle sauce. The truffle&parmesan fries were very delicious as well. A tiramisu was shared for dessert - beautiful. We'll be back in the future for sure. Thank you to the lovely warm chatty front of house lady that served us.

We are Italians and it's usually quite difficult to find Italian restaurants outside Italy that can truly offer proper Italian food and cuisine. Osteria is one of those. Try the lamb shank, although as group of 12, we tried different dishes, including pizza, and nobody was disappointed. Do not forget to end your meal with an authentic cannolo with real ricotta. Big plus... Alessandro and Marta will look after you and make sure that you leave 100% satisfied.

Maybe she has deeper pockets than I do, but sorry the bill was a shock....shared starter, beer and a glass of wine, 2 mains, average bottle of primito, total £120.00, small table too close, meal far too seasoned, salt level off the scale.

All the staff were friendly, helpful, attentive, made perfect recommendations, and made us feel very welcome.

My wife, my son and I love this place. We have been coming to Osteria consistently since they opened and we have never been let down. The staff are the best I have ever encountered anywhere in the world, from the bar-staff, to the chefs, to the waiting staff. Osteria gives you that family feeling where they genuinely care about you and remember you and your family’s preferences. The food and drink choices are second to none and are as good as anywhere in Italy itself. Grazie Mille, Osteria.

Came across this Mediterranean gem whilst on family mini break, so popped in for lunch. Having lived in Italy as a student some 30+ years ago, I am frequently disappointed by restaurants claiming to serve authentic Italian cuisine. Osteria did not disappoint. Opted for their lunch deal of pizza and a drink and it took me straight back to Italy. Decor and music added to Italian ambiance and service was brilliant too. Will definitely be back again. Only criticism - Panna cotta (my favourite) not on the dessert menu. Good job I don't live in Shrewsbury or I would be there weekly.

Lunch on my birthday - where to go. Headed towards Ask Italian when my wife told me she had been to Osteria with our daughter and had a great meal. So - change of plan and Osteria it was. And wow - what a wonderful place. Started with olives and bread followed by mushroom tortellini for my wife and traditional Italian pasta carbonara. I say 'traditional' as it differed from the microwave variety you might get at M&S or Waitrose as much as canned peas would from just picked garden peas. Less creamy with great bits of ham and pecorino cheese. Accompanied by a light white wine, a salad and some truffle parmesan fries we had a super meal. Lots of great service touches as well - such as being asked whether we wanted to include service in our bill. A good price - and their £8 lunch deal for pasta or pizza with a glass of wine looked amazing value. Totally recommended and will go back with the family.

I had a fantastic meal here with my partner! This is authentic Italian cuisine made with heart by true natives to Italy. A lady who co-owns the place personally took mine and my partner's order, and we felt welcomed and attended to. At the time, they were serving a kind of black bread (I believe I was told it was some kind of edible charcoal used as a colouring) which me and my partner found visually striking and delicious. At the time we were told that it is a sort of fun special for halloween, but I hope it has been made a permanent fixture to the menu. For my main, I had an authentic carbonara (made with pecorino and guanchiale as tradition demands) and it was the first time I had a true carbonara in the UK. It was delicious, and I would eagerly recommend it to anyone who is curious. My partner, who is vegan, was initially slightly disheartened by the seeming lack of vegan options on the menu, but after talking to our waitress (the previously mentioned co-owner), she revealed that many of the items on the menu can in fact be made vegan with plant-based substitutes for any animal products. She ordered a pizza, which was also fantastic, and hard to tell from real deal! Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience which is provided by genuine, friendly people. I will be returning, and I eagerly recommend a visit to anyone who is looking for authentic Italian cuisine in the Midlands.

Read about the reputation for food and decided to try the mid week lunch options . Nicely greeted , and the two of us were shown to a table for four - first impressions were of a city centre student bar , very sterile , cavernous and dowdy . The wooden dining chairs are not designed for a comfortable experience , and the table settings seemed minimalist . Lunch offer was exceptional value .My wife had a (half) pizza and a drink for £8 whilst I ordered the Squid ink seafood Tagliatelle off the a la carte for £17.95 which was very good . The dish was overflowing with baby mussels ( I counted 15 shells ) plus two plump scallops , a smattering of prawns and miscellaneous bits of other seafood . Probably would’nt go back

With many nearby restaurants closed on a Sunday evening, Osteria was an inspired choice and can be recommended for an authentic Italian meal. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is of a good quality, portions are generous and value for money is assured. Slightly disappointing is the lack of main course fish dishes and a less than generous choice of vegetarian main courses. Despite this, an enjoyable experience and worthy of a revisit.

Why oh why as residents of Shrewsbury it’s taken us this long to discover the hidden gem that is Osteria I do not know. We were greeted with a warm friendly welcome, allowed to sample the wine before ordering a bottle, it was a very quick decision 🍷 The service was so friendly and personable, I advised the waitress of my severe nut allergy, next thing the owners partner Marta was at the table, she was excellent. We ordered bruschettone heritage & burrata as a small starter to share, it was delicious. For mains I opted for Risotto Chianti & Salsiccia whilst my partner chose Tagionlini nere al frutti di mare. The food was exquisite, flavoursome, well presented, generous sized portions, we couldn’t have asked for more…..grazie, grazie, grazie 🇮🇹

Highly recommend this award winning Italian restaurant, I am hard to please when it comes to eating Italian food however I found this restaurant faultless. Osteria, won an accolade in 2023 as Best Italian Chef with their award winning Pork dish which hales from the Rome , you will find it's not hard to understand why they won this industry accolade. Having tried their pork belly starter , I wasn't disappointed, , wish I had tried the dish they had won their award with however all the more reason to go back, we were just visiting Shrewsbury over the weekend. We tried the pizza's for our main course and were not disappointed , they were just as good as what I have eaten in Naples at a world famous Pizzeria, the portion size defeated us and the staff kindly offered to box it up for us to take out with us. The service was great too and the restaurant and its facilities were spotless and very pleasant. The meal was good value and I feel the quality of their food and their award winning success has a lot to do with the Chefs being mostly Italian from different regions of Italy, which gives choice and authenticity in terms of their menu using high quality but simple ingredients making for a great dining experience - 10/10 !

Osteria an Italian restaurant in top 5 of trip advisor restaurants in Shrewbury list. Walked from Prince Rupert hotel through olde worlde Shrewsbury high street to historic Mardol street. Interior is modern but lacking atmosphere. Staff are very helpful and obliging and I was asked many times if they could help me further during the course of my meal. Wine list was overpriced for the wines on offer. I baulk at paying £30 a bottle so I settled for a delicious lager similar to Peroni. I had a huge bowl of olives and bread to start(great)followed by a large pizza tasty and well cooked. I left a space for a dessert which was strawberry cheesecake and ice cream. An optional 10% service charge is added to the bill and the staff asked me if I was still happy with the charge. I would have left a larger tip the food was so good. All in 3 courses and two large beers including optional 10% service charge came to £41.A bargain.

Clearly very popular, so certainly doing something right. Food was largely good, although not amazing. When mentioning this to serving staff, he suggested rather sarcastically that he should bring me something else from the menu. Clearly reading previous reviews they do not take criticism well. An interesting and varied menu, that would appeal to most. We felt the food was not hot enough, pizza could have done with less tomato base and a couple of minutes longer in the oven. This could be because the restaurant was very busy. One thing that frustrated the party was the hard sell on drinks, we were approached eleven times asking if we wanted more drinks? Which rapidly went from helpful, to annoying, to being almost beyond parody. This could be avoided if one lone person was responsible for the table

This family-run Italian restaurant continues to impress with its top-quality food and friendly, efficient service. The homemade cannoli and tiramisu were absolutely delicious, and the fact that they were made in-house only added to their charm. The starters and mains were also incredibly satisfying, to the point where we almost didn't have room for dessert. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Osteria V2.0.

I have spent a lot of time eating in Italian restaurants across three continents and we are lucky to have this one on our doorstep. Buon Natale

Service was generally good but spoilt by the rather force full Italian waitress. Pizza toppings mean for the price. Foccasha starter was a garlic pizza! Would give the carbonara a miss! £3.50 for small lemonade etc! On the positive side good sized menu. Over all...

Osteria, an out-of-this-world dining experience, surpassed all expectations. The restaurant's enchanting ambiance transported me to another realm, with mesmerizing lighting and innovative decor.
