Osteria Oggi
At Osteria Oggi, seasonal produce is used, and served it in a way that is designed to share. Pasta is made fresh daily, with a carefully chosen wine list to match. ‘Oggi’ means ‘today’ in Italian – this sums up what they offer – sophisticated Italian food, inspired by tradition but in keeping with today’s tastes and best available produce. The atmosphere is great with an Italian piazza setting in the heart of Adelaide CBD, complete with a cobblestoned floor, arches, arbour, meat room, private cellar, intimate booth seating, and a mezzanine-level kitchen. The 20-metre formed concrete bar is the ideal place to sit and graze on some small dishes (we’re not just about pasta) or just swing by for a drink.
