Five star ⭐️ place! It was a celebration of my friend’s bday, so wanted cosy atmosphere just “friends&family”. And still we had super fun 🤩💃 !!! Also what a STUNNING 🤩 space, unbelievable food! What a beautiful restaurant! If you come here, you must order the French patisserie bread off the menu, it’s delivered fresh every morning and comes with a smoky whipped butter made using burnt aubergine skin that is mind-blowing. We paired our meal with their wine selection (which is fantastic) and started with a glass of Prosecco to toast. The tuna steak, salmon tartare, and short rib with truffled mash were all executed at an extremely high level. SPECIAL THANK YOU TO a general manager Mounir, managers - Erwan & Antonio and a waiter Michael. Great team will come back again soon! ❤️
We had a fantastic lunch at Osteria by Bocconcino and were really impressed with the entire experience. The venue is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. All the staff were friendly, polite and genuinely smiley throughout our visit. The food was fresh, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible, while the beef carpaccio was honestly one of the best I have ever had. I had the lemon cake for dessert, which was light, refreshing and absolutely delicious, while my friend really enjoyed the gelato. The lunch menu offers excellent quality and great value. I would highly recommend Osteria by Bocconcino and will definitely be returning!! Thank you 🙏

We celebrated a birthday at Osteria by Bocconcino and had such a wonderful experience. The whole evening felt special from start to finish. A big thank you to our waitress Gergana and the manager Mounir for their attention, professionalism and warm attitude. They really made us feel relaxed and welcome throughout the night.

Wonderful experience at Osteria. The service, live music and decor is fantastic. We came here for dinner on Saturday and were taken care of on top level. The food was served beautifully presented, highlight was pasta served in a crab head, what a show stopper! Great selection of grilled fish and meat and pastas. Worth mentioning a selection of tartars that we loved. Compliments to the chef and particularly the front of stuff who was extremely kind and friendly. Pricing is also very reasonable! Highly recommend if you are looking for a place for elevated dining with superb food and atmosphere. Ps: get the chocolate basques cheesecake! Its incredible!
