One of the better restaurants in the Lido area, good service and food which was reasonably priced. would certainly go back again. Olives which is only a 5 minute walk away is far better though.

This restaurant is superb. The food is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly as well as being professional. It is worth seeking this place out and walking a few extra steps to find it. They have a reasonably priced tourist menu as well as their normal menu. They give you a sparkling rose' wine as a welcome drink on... More

Great food great service, could not have been better. Food scored 10/10, ice cream dessert (best I have had anywhere), put score up to 10.5, then the complimentary sweets were fabulous, hence the score of 11. Nelio who looked after us all night was very professional & friendly.

Really friendly service, great quiet location and really good food. The scabbard fish was excellent. It's a little climb up a hill from the Main Street in Lido but well worth giving it a try. Chocolate and coffee panna cotta was one of the best desserts I've had for a long time and I don't normally like coffee desserts.

L'Osteria really is one of the nicest restaurants I've eaten in. The food was great, good size portions and excellent quality. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food and wine here is exceptional value for the quality and I can't wait to come back.

Sixth visit to this restaurant:- Pros Toilets are very clean and stylish - I always think that the state of the toilets reflects the kitchen! Great Food Good Wine Friendly Service Cons Prices have crept up, so this is now not as competitive as it should be. Setting pleasant once inside, but uninviting from the road. Too many unlaid tables... More

Yes, occasionally a bit slow with the service but it is good reliable food, reasonably priced and very welcoming. They give you a short cocktail on the house and our group of eight have eaten there at least twice every time we visit.
