Absolutely loved this place! We got take away, although the restaurant looked amazing and would love to go again for a sit down meal. The prices were reasonable for what you’d pay for a place of that standard. Bit on the more expensive side but food was absolutely delicious. The potato gnocchi was soft and the sauce was incredible. Absolutely done perfectly with chunks of mozzarella in it. Pizza was crispy and had a lovely flavour. Unique topping options but worked really well together. The tiramisu was delicious! Everything we tried was really lovely and will definitely be coming back!
Such a delicious meal with very generous portions! The ragu taste was really beautiful and paired perfectly with the peas, yum! The Affogato was a perfect way to finish after a heavy meal, great all round 👌
I really liked the fitout too, large and spacious with beautiful interior, and the service was really lovely. No split bills if there’s a discount added though (I.e. the entertainment book)

Really enjoyed dining at osteria 20. Pizzas and pasta were delicious. Lots of cocktails to choose from. Staff were very friendly, great service! The only downside was, it was a bit noisy. So if you go with a large group sitting at a large table, you might not be able to hear anyone unless they’re next to you.
We started off with the garlic pizza and the halloumi fries. Both were excellent. I then had the gnocchi... the gnocchi itself was cooked well but the dish was extremely cheesy. The flavours were good, but I would have preferred it to be less cheesy (I love cheese so it’s a lot when I say it’s too cheesy) and more saucy. It was quite dry due to the excessive amount of cheese!
The waiter initially was extremely rude.. and it left us feeling quite annoyed and shocked but he was great after... Not sure what happened but I do think waiters need to be careful with how they greet and talk to customers... overall, quite decent.
Love the venue, the risotto and the wine!Have been here a few times now - have ordered the mushroom risotto every time (I think), and have always had a great meal out of it. When the mushroom risotto is not on the specials board, I order the chicken risotto minus the chicken and they are happy to assist with my vegetarian dietary requests! I also know that the slow cooked lamb rigatoni is an excellent choice to order, and the gnocchi was deliciously cheesy and yummy.The venue itself is fun and modern, with a front section that has windows that open (lovely for a warm day). Unfortunately we tried to go on a Saturday night for my partners birthday and they turned us away because they didn't have a table for 2, but hope to try and make it there again. A bit pricey but there are specials you can really make the most out of if you time it well! You can also sometimes find them on the Eatclub app :)
We've been to Osteria multiple times now on friday nights over a space of a few months. It's a modern and spacious italian restaurant in the heart of glenferrie road. Staff are very attentive and professional especially the seniors. You could say it is fine dining but without the crazy price tags. What I really like about Osteria is you do actually get a generous portion for your meals and not a minuscule serve at other places.
What I recommend -
Entrees - Palenta Chips
Pasta - Linguini Osteria, Spaghetti Pescatore, Lamb Rigatoni.
Special (changes often, staff will advise) - Roast lamb shoulder
Dessert (also changes often) - creme brulee, souffle , nuttella semifreddo
Digestives - Frangelico
Whether it is a date night or big group gathering, Osteria has the right vibes for a great night out.
Had a very pleasant time at Osteria 20, we ordered the Polenta Chips and Arancini to begin with, definitely Arancini is worth it, very well seasoned!
We then had the Spaghetti Pescatore and Linguini Osteria, both of which were very filling and flavoursome, definitely come back one day, but maybe ordering less a bit as the portion sizes were big, but was worth it!
Amazing pizzas and pastas with a really great menu! The honey and pear pizza was absolutely amazing - will definitely be back for that one alone. A beautiful environment, we loved sitting in the booths by the large windows.
Came here with a pescatarian friend and decided to try a few dishes from the entree section. The arancini, roasted potatoes, entree size house salad and the specials of Morton bay bugs and eggplant chips were all very tasty. We were ridiculously stuffed and had a very good red to go with it. Super friendly and enthusiastic service.
Nice atmosphere with excellent floor staff; Kosta was fantastic there when we needed him and invisible when we didn’t. Food was very nice as well. I’ll definitely be back as great for business lunches.
