Set in a historic 1882 courthouse, this charming restaurant offers a fresh, spacious interior with polished wooden floors, high ceilings, and large windows overlooking a tranquil park and river. The welcoming atmosphere and pet-friendly outdoor dining make it ideal for those seeking a comfortable gluten-free dining experience.
This place is a must if you enjoy Italian food made with love using the best local produce. They make their own pasta, and support local suppliers, and it shows in the beautiful food. Great options for coeliacs too. We had mains of lamb rugu pappadelle and seafood gnocci, both were great. For dessert we had pannacotta and tiramisu, and I must say that the tiramisu was the best I've had in many a long day. If you're ever in the area, we recommend Osteria!

Had a wonderful experience and cannot recommend highly enough. They were very responsive to questions, helpful and efficient. We were able to find out about gluten free options and make a reservation online. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed, the owner remembered our dietary requirements and took the time to show everything on the menu that was an option. Super friendly and could recommend dishes to try.
Food was excellent. We had the meat platter for 2, gnocchi one Italian sausage and mushrooms, the other seafood marinara... delicious! Portions are on the larger side but it's so good you have to eat it all. We also had Panna Cotta and Tiramisu for dessert... again excellent.
At no point did we feel rushed or pressured to leave even though it's a smaller venue. There is a lovely view and the restaurant is tastefully decorated. If lucky enough to be in the area again, we would definitely go back.
