Osteria Oggi, Italian restaurant in Adelaide, Australia
Osteria Oggi is an Italian restaurant in Adelaide designed to evoke the feeling of a traditional Italian piazza. Cobblestone floors, arched ceilings, booth seating, and concrete tables create the setting, with the kitchen positioned on a mezzanine level above the dining area.
The restaurant was established with a commitment to making fresh pasta daily, a cornerstone of Italian cooking. Over time, this traditional foundation has remained constant while contemporary Australian culinary practices have been gradually incorporated into the kitchen.
The name merges Osteria, referring to traditional Italian wine bars serving simple fare, with Oggi, the Italian word for today. The dining space reflects this blend by presenting classic Italian cooking alongside ingredients from the surrounding region.
The restaurant sits on Pirie Street and operates throughout the day from lunchtime through late evening. A private cellar room is available for groups who wish to dine together in a separate space.
The menu features a Casa four-course shared selection designed for the table. Among the specialties is blue swimmer crab tagliatelle, which pairs an Australian ingredient with traditional Italian pasta techniques.
