The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East of England

2nd time here. Usual high standard and the serving staff are extremely friendly and interactive. Will always visit this restaurant when I come to Harlow!!!

Tasty and hot food, service just right

Really good food been here many times one of the best in the area

Osteria is a true gem for Italian cuisine lovers! From the moment you step in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a perfect balance of traditional Italian dishes and creative seasonal specials, showcasing their commitment to authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. The pasta is undoubtedly the star of the show – freshly made, perfectly cooked, and paired with rich, flavorful sauces. The seafood risotto was a standout, with its creamy texture and perfectly cooked seafood. Don’t skip dessert—the tiramisu is the best I’ve had outside of Italy! The staff are attentive, friendly, and passionate about their craft, adding a personal touch to the experience. Whether you’re here for a romantic dinner, a family celebration, or just a casual meal, Osteria delivers every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in a slice of Italy right here in the UK!

We booked a table for 7 on NYE 2024. We all had a great night, live singer and belly dancing. The food was great, the Service was excellent ! We also eat here on a regular basis and its a very good restaurant. Regards Richard and Noura Dear

The French wine dinner in November was fantastic, lovely food with great paired wines. Service was excellent.

Lovely meal last night, cocktails amazing. 100% recommend

Visited Ely Turkish restaurant today to catch up with a friend.The food was delicious and the service was great,as always Great place to go.

We just got back home, from there. My family and I sat upstairs and was served by Mikhim, Anna, Kieran, and Lemon. We had the best experience, they all were very friendly and kept the food and drinks coming. Thank you for making this evening great.

We ordered the Taramasalata, Halloumi, Berenjenas con miel de caña (aubergine and sugar cane), Cretan Cheese Pies (feta in filo pastry with honey), Patatas Bravas, Boquerones (deep fried whitebait), Croquette and pitta. The croquettes were very luxurious, the whitebait were large and a hearty portion. The feta in filo was the star of the show, crispy creamy a little sour with a hint of sweetness from the honey. The aubergine was nice something a little different. I was a little let down by the Patatas Bravas I wish they had been more crispy.

First visit here and it won’t be our last, the staff are very welcoming and the menu excellent, we both had the Halloumi starter then I had the chicken sheesh with yogurt and my husband had the chicken sheesh, all of it was freshly cooked and very tasty, the portions are good and we couldn’t eat it all (sadly) I think it’s a tiny bit overpriced though.

Lovely evening upstairs with table and chairs as downstairs is high stools and high bar like tables. A bit expensive but worth it for service and food 👍

Lovely food. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Couldn't fault it. Would highly recommend. 😊

The Food is so nice it is from Turkey

Had a couple of beers here and enjoyed my time here
