Osteria

An osteria is a type of Italian restaurant that offers a casual dining experience, often focusing on local and traditional cuisine. Unlike fine dining establishments, osterias prioritize a relaxed atmosphere with simpler dishes that highlight regional ingredients, frequently accompanying meals with local wines. Historically, osterias served as places for travelers to enjoy homemade food and drinks. Today, they remain popular for their authentic flavors and cozy settings, making them ideal for enjoying a casual meal with friends or family.
