    Walked in for a late lunch while in Adelaide and was impressed with all aspects. As a solo diner I appreciated being seated along the bar on the stools. It was nice to be able to watch the goings on behind the bar. The person behind the bar took my order and delivered my food and even engaged in some friendly conversation. This was nice. When the food arrived it was obvious that it had been made to a high standard and that the chefs put a lot of thought and effort into the ingredients of each dish. The atmosphere was nice and it was surprising that there was a large dining area toward the back of the restaurant. This was not obvious when you look into the restaurant from outside. Overall, I enjoyed my food and experience here. It is on my must visit list the next time I visit Adelaide.

    So glad to have finally had the chance to eat here - one of Adelaide's iconic restaurants, living up to the name To say that I love pasta would be an understatement; this place is practically made for me. Osteria Oggi is an iconic restaurant in Adelaide, producing quality hand-made pasta alongside some great tasting classics with a modern twist The first thing you notice when you come in is the environment. A great layout that provides space whilst also integrating patrons in a beautifully contrasted place The thing that you stay for is the food - I C O N I C Great tasting classics with a modern twist, served with powerful flavours and great presentation My only critique would be more diligence from staff given the quality of food coming Everyone should try this place; they've made a name for themselves and they're here to stay - I'll defs be back

    Absolutely amazing dining experience. Highly recommend the five course tasting menu. Impeccable quality dishes. The steak was to die for! Full table service with very attentive staff. Could not recommend more for a top shelf experience. Can't wait to return!

    Osteria Oggi was brilliant! Walking into the restaurant we were significantly impressed by the ambiance and style. Then the service we received was friendly and welcoming from all staff, not just our waitress. Finally the food. Wow! Absolutely delicious! We had the 4 course tasting and it was sensational! We highly recommend Osteria Oggi!!

    One of the most popular restaurants in the city of Adelaide. Their food and atmosphere are so nice. Customer service is also good. I was lucky to get a table by walk-in, but it is usually so busy so I would recommend to book a table in advance. One thing is it is quite expensive. I ordered a few plates and 4 glasses of wine, and it cost more than 200. Be sure that you have enough budget.

    By far best hand made pasta in Adelaide. The service is very professional, accommodating and polished. Great atmosphere and layout of the venue and nice decor that wasn't over done. The host found us a perfect table to suit our dinner group. Every single dish we ordered was spot on and perfectly seasoned and flavours were really well balanced. The wood grilled steak is also highly recommended as well as the deserts. All up best dinner we had in Adelaide in a very long time.

    Food was delicious and there was plenty of it. If there was 4.5 stars I would give them that cause it was close to prefect however the service was a little inattentive, lovely people but a little slow. It may have been cause we were in a private room downstairs alone. They were great with dietary requirements as we had a few on our table.

    Food was good. Lots of variety to choose from. We had the Shared Banquet and they were able to swap some of the items as we required. Was a bit pricey but worth it. The restaurant itself was lovely and had good vibes to it. Must visit if you enjoy pasta.

    Loved the ambience. Service was extraordinary and exceptional! We were taken care of throughout our dining by such a lovely lady. Entrees were great starter. Fresh pasta, with a bit of twist - tasted great, still could be better in terms of balance - but would love to come back if chances allow. Well done!

    Absolutely beautiful experience, and I'm not usually a fan of these very expensive places, as it is usually not worth it. The building is modern and aesthetically pleasing. I had a glass of shaw & smith and the fish of the day (swordfish). Service was awesome despite me rolling up in my tracksuit pants!! Thanks to the floor staff.

  • 5/5 Pouria A. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely place, warm reception, very quick and nearly perfect service and delicious food. The staff are so professional, kind and helpful. This place serves one of the best Italian cousins in the town. Fresh pasta, beautifully executed dishes and variety of nice drinks. The best pasta dish by far was the pork and veal with bone marrow tagliatelle. Other dishes were very nice as well but maybe a touch unbalance in terms of seasoning. Also the grilled squid could be better cleaned and trimmed to be perfect. The desert was very nice but the alcohol in the sorbet was a touch too much. But all and all a must visit place. I will definitely come back to try new dishes here.

    Popped in for a late lunch after some great recommendations! Upon entry the staff were very welcoming and I mostly got my whole experience from the friendly bartender! He took my order, recommended a few dishes and cocktails he thought I would like, and I got to watch him prep his station for the evening to come. My favourite part. The quality of the food that came out was impressive - I could tell it was hand made bread and pasta, absolutely delicious…and the smell!!! It was obvious that the chefs knew what they were doing and cared a lot.

    The entrees were nice!!!! But the rest wasn’t that good for me. The pasta was too dry. The pork has strong smell and the dessert I didn’t taste any lemon at all. staffs are amazing. But I remember there is 1 girl when we were asked about something and she said “you are the Bos!” that’s not nice to say!

    Awesome place! Food experience was great. Must try the Casa banquet tasting if it’s your first time. Wine list was good, good variety. Definitely will be back with friends

    Food was amazing and faultless. Crab linguine was my favourite. Our group also loved the rabbit macaroni and you must try the parmigiana flan. Service at times came off nonchalant which is only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars

    Absolutely amazing. Customer service was second to none, cocktails were very nice, and the pasta we ordered was to die for. Highly recommend arriving with an empty stomach as it’s very filling! Spaghetti carbonara was the best I’d ever tasted. Highly recommend!

    Squid and flan were nice. House made bread was below average. However, disappointing pasta. The tagliatelle had mushy texture and tasted like raw flour. Squid Ink Fiori was overpowered with drill, couldn’t tase much of anything else. Inattentive service.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth G. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm a little torn on this one. Beautiful place, great setting & atmosphere. Warm ambience and the food was overall very tasty. But the overall experience was lacking a little. Everyone was friendly enough but it was a little loud in the dining area, which made it very hard for us to hear our waiter and probably vice versa, resulting in errors with our meals. Slight mistakes, maybe because of the volume or the fact that our waiter didn't write our order down? And our seating option at the bar wasn't very comfortable, so definitely choose the booths for dining. But overall a nice place.

  • 4/5 Shermaine C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has the best pasta! We had the blue swimmer crab tagliatelle and it was divine! The squid ink was not too bad either, could do better with a different type of pasta. Good selections of wine and lovely ambience. To top it off we were able to bring our fur babies with us. Catherine was our server, she was well-informed of the menu, friendly, well mannered and she made us felt like home. She was nothing but amazing! Thank you for having us!

  • 5/5 Tim Q. 1 year ago on Google
    It had been a few years since my last visit to Osteria and I was pleasantly surprised just how good it's gotten. Atmosphere was lovely, busy but relaxed and makes you feel somewhere other than Adelaide. Service was attentive and friendly. There is something special about all the staff saying hello/goodnight as you enter/leave. Importantly though the food was delicious, well proportioned and honestly for the price the feed me menu is a bargain. Shoutout to the cheese flan which was awesome. Will definitely be returning again

  • 4/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    The pasta itself was of good quality. The service was quite attentive. The bread was also of good quality. The carbonara itself left something to be desired. It was substantial, however, the sauce felt like it was missing a dimension of flavour. The other dishes were good. A good overall experience.

    I was so excited to try this place as I had heard amazing things...and it did not disappoint! Lovely Italian food, great atmosphere and beautiful wines. The staff were really friendly and helpful when it came to our food options. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Chao W. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best Italian restaurant in Adelaide. Every single dish is sensational, especially Squid Ink Fiori and Spaghetti Carbonara. Definitely will come back.

  • 5/5 JW C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely place! Went here with my partner for our last lunch in Adelaide and it was an absolute delight. Staff were very helpful and attentive, interior was amazing and food was great, just a bit sad that my squid ink pasta was too salty.

  • 5/5 Annabel J. 4 months ago on Google
    Delicious spot, only wish we had longer to try more of the menu but had to jet off to the airport. Staff were amazingly prompt with service and the rye papardelle divine, fresh and something unique. Thank you, we will be back when next in Adelaide to try more of the menu!

  • 4/5 Tl92 7 months ago on Google
    Great restaurant in Adelaide city. The pasta is handmade and fresh, with lots of flavour. Portion sizes were generous and there was a good selection of wines/drinks. Service was really good up until we ordered, however must admit it was hard to flag down a waiter/waitress after we had ordered to ask for bread. The bread is $1pp with proceeds going to a charity which I thought was a great idea!

  • 5/5 David M. 2 years ago on Google
    We couldn’t fault our dinner experience at OO - from start to finish, the service, venue, food and drinks were sensational. Entering the venue is lovely as you pass a long bar that takes up the length of the restaurant before entering an dining room that’s an open atrium of sorts with the borders lined with intimate booths. The bread and croquettes were perfect starters and we shared the seafood pasta and steak for a main - delicious

  • 5/5 Vasi-Marie G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and food! We were looking for a combination of dietary requirements including a vegan and a gluten free vegan, staff were super accommodating and helpful. We had a selection of starters including the Orange salad and the grilled Celeriac and they were both amazing! (Pictured is gluten free pasta in a vegan pistachio pesto sauce)

    Lovely, authentic dining experience in this restaurant in May 2021. Lucky to be seated against the wall (like a booth) which was spacious for the 3 of us (much preferred over sitting at long tables). It's a really large restaurant and has a vibrant atmosphere. We each ordered a pasta dish which were really tasty, pasta cooked perfectly. We also ordered the beef carpaccio which was thinly sliced and perfectly balanced with the cheese. Attentive and seamless service. Another example of a great dining experience in Adelaide.

  • 4/5 N J. 2 years ago on Google
    we had a really nice lunch at Oggi. Lovely cocktails. I enjoyed my main although slightly oily, but everything else was great. It is a bit pricey, but we think it is good value. Staff was pretty tentative. Only feedback is, if they don't want to write down our orders, then they really need to remember them. We missed one entree item and one side dish for the main from our order, which we didn't mind, but defeat the purpose.
