Last night was my third dining experience with Osteria and it was truly incredible. The staff were amazing and as always, the food was delicious. Two of us had one of their pizzas and the other 2 had other dishes. They too were very happy with their selections. We also had starters and everyone loved what they chose. I had the calamari and it truly was the very best I've ever had. Two of us also had desserts. The lemon cheesecake was divine!
I tell all of our customers who are visiting Shrewsbury and looking for dinner recommendations about Osteria and I tell them all it's the best pizza I've had since we returned from our honeymoon in Italy in 2016.
For those with food allergens, I know how scary it can be to eat out. My husband is coeliac and we struggle to find restaurants with proper protocols to limit contamination. When I enquired about their protocols I was thrilled to learn how seriously they take food allergens and the lengths they go to limit possible contamination. I was also impressed by their menu selections for those with a gluten allergy. Most restaurants have a limited selection of gluten-free options. He has now eaten with them twice and has not experienced any of the symptoms he experiences when he has been contaminated at other restaurants.
Perhaps the best praise I can give them is to say that if they ever close their doors I think all of Shrewsbury will go into mourning. Between the incredible staff, the cosy atmosphere and the authentic Italian food they serve, I can't think of any other place I would rather take friends for dinner.
