Osteria Renata

I had a bridal event here on Sunday in the Alba Room. I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about the venue, the food and the service. To start with the food is delicious. We’ve been here quite a few times and have always thoroughly enjoyed the food. The chef was very accommodating making specific dishes for my dietary needs (gluten-free and dairy free) And they didn’t make me feel bad for being complicated with my needs. Everybody raved about how excellent the food was. The venue is so sweet, the alba room specifically is such a beautiful space to host private events. It was far enough away from everything that it felt like a really intimate space. The owner Alex looked after us all afternoon. He was kind, attentive and very friendly, honestly the service was the best we’d all experienced. The other staff we interacted with all equally as lovely. He let us set the room up with decorations and was very kind to help us pack them down. He even was our semi private Photographer for the day - grabbing my camera and making sure to get lots of gorgeous photos. If you’re thinking about having a private event, I highly recommend checking out their event space. If you just want a good Italian meal, I can’t recommend them more.

I celebrated my birthday for lunch here and was absolutely blown away by the food! This is one of the best Italian meals I’ve had in Melbourne. The produce is fresh and all of the dishes have been carefully curated to bring out amazing flavours. And my gluten free pasta did not disappoint. The experience is absolutely worth every penny and we will be back!
