Inspired by our Northern Italian roots, we bring the traditionally casual, regional osteria into an urban setting. And shake it up a bit.

    An Unforgettable Dining Adventure with a Personal Touch! Our spontaneous decision to visit this restaurant turned into one of the most delightful dining experiences we’ve ever had. We booked just minutes before arriving, and from the moment we stepped through the door, the team made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. Their warm hospitality made the evening feel truly special. We were served a specially made 4-course menu, and it was a culinary journey that exceeded all expectations. The highlight was the ravioli, delicately embedded in a luscious mousse cream—something I had never encountered before. The dish was an absolute triumph and quite possibly the best ravioli I’ve ever tasted. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting Nic, the chef and owner, who not only shared wonderful stories but also recommended a stunning Chardonnay from Tasmania that paired beautifully with our meal. This personal connection made our evening even more memorable, leaving us with a genuine sense of warmth and gratitude. Thank you for the exceptional food to the extraordinary hospitality, Oster has mastered the art of creating an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return – Mille grazie e ciao!

    Enjoyable evening at Oster. Quality food that was well cooked and thoughtfully presented. Service and wine choices were excellent. A tasteful and comfortable space which was sparsely populated on the evening we visited. A little on the pricey side, but would visit again for a special occasion. I wish them only the best.

    The food was outstanding. Italian pasta done in such a delicious and decadent manner. Everything we ate was delicious. Bread, pasta and vegetables. Service was efficient. Great value as you could bring your own wine with a modest corkage of $15. I think this is a mid week deal with the wine. However a wonderful dining experience and great location and surroundings. This will be a mid week staple for sure

    We’ve eaten here a few times and loved it. Food is excellent and the 3 course fixed price weekday menu is great value and delicious (and plentiful). BYO wines Tue-Thu just adds to make it a very high standard experience.

    Terrific experience. From start to finish we felt so looked after by the chef/owner Nick that was working as a waiter. Spectacular night, great vibe and food was delicious. Great local restaurant
