We visited L Osteria on Saturday and we were both blown away with everything about the place, not overly busy but enough to create an ambiance. We both chose from the set meal so it was garlic mushroom for wife and I had the breaded Brie and they were good sized and delicious. For our mains wife had the fillet steak skewers and I had the beef cheeks and I had to try the fillet and found this to be like chewing on butter, amazing and please don’t let the sound of beef cheeks put you off as you will be surprised at just how tender and tasty they are as my wife will agree, pulled her face at the sound but once she tried it she was glad she had. The set menu has a good selection and is very reasonable and the service was exceptional so I can’t recommend enough
