I've been here a few dozen times now, and even celebrated my B-Day here. The food everytime was amazing. I was fortunate to be with friends who share thier food, and got to taste many options. Excited everytime I see a new menu. With over 25 vegan options, u can't go wrong. Service, atmosphere, the home cooked style of the food, traditional at its best. I have not been to an Italian restaurant since the 90s, coming here for the first time just blew me away!! Thank u so much.
Went there for the first time yesterday. The vegan menu is amazing I can't recommend this place enough. The best italian food I have ever had!!
The fresh pasta, spinach cannelloni & arancine from the Osteria Italiana online store are divine! So easy to prepare, full of flavour and the perfect thing to enjoy on a night in. So happy to see all their vegan and gluten free options, too :)
Thank you for providing gluten free fresh pasta! My partner is GF and this has made pasta nights much eaiser. Cant recommend the carbonara enough for a flavorsome sauce
The vegan takeaway range is just delicious! I grabbed the mushroom and truffle sauce and it didn't disappoint. Will definitely be grabbing more to enjoy
I was recommended to try this restaurant from a friend who is vegetarian. I am not vegetarian myself but decided to try her favourite dish here - the mushroom and truffle pasta dish. We had it takeaway due to covid and BOY IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! To be honest, one of the best pastas I have had in a long long time!!! I was even trying to eat slowly so my food would not end.
Just ate lunch here today, I have been vegan for the past 6 years and have never had authentic Italian vegan food that is done well and where you are leaving feeling satisfied. We tried the gnocchi, carbonara and lasagna and all was the best I’ve ever had! My only feedback to the owners is that the restaurant inside doesn’t represent the quality of the food. Get rid of all the faux flowers it’s super dated and maybe put tablecloths on the tables even with paper over the top that can be changed between tables. I think this restaurant could be very very successful but the asthetics need work. Most people in Australia really appreciate a good vibe in a restaurant and there was no vibe. Will be back very soon to try more of the menu. Oh and we also got two desserts which were equally amazing!!!
I came here for mine and my husband's first wedding anniversary in Saturday night. The menu is clearly labelled for vegan, gluten free, low FODMAP and normal menu which I thought was amazing.
The food was delicious, the restaurant is lovely, the staff are friendly, I highly recommend!
Came here with my mates after a game. Can say that the food was really great. Produce is high quality and the service was really nice. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.
Osteria Italiana has a really cool and modern concept of offering options to everyone regardless of their dietary requirements or preferences. I was pleasantly surprised to see specific menus for vegan, low fodmap and gluten-free diets as well as a classic contemporary menu. I don't follow a vegan diet myself but had seen the vegan lasagna on their Instagram page and had to try it out. It was such a feast with so many layers and flavour. Looking forward to going back already and trying out some other options on their menu.
Authentic Italian food, check.Extensive vegetarian/vegan menu, check.There are very few places like Maccaroni Osteria that offer such a large menu and actually manage to deliver everything with high and consistent quality. The food quality is amazing, menu is expansive and well thought out and the ambiance of the place is just great. This is a place the food minion enjoys visiting!
I have a couple of vegan friends and they usually take me to places that are completely meat free. After a bit of research, I found Macaroni Osteria and it ended up being the best of both worlds. It was like this place was created just for our friendship group - one menu for me being a traditional italian menu and one complete menu being traditional vegan. Everybody loved it and cannot stop raving!
