Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My husband and I did not enjoy the food at all. The restaurant was very full and the staff were wonderful. The food was served efficiently and everyone was very friendly. Maybe it was too modern for us. Unfortunately we would not recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely amazing! This was one of the best meals I have had in years. The staff were absolutely wonderful, attentive and considerate and the food was amazing. The flavours and creations wonderful and it was unbelievably inexpensive. I would absolutely, most definitely recommend this place.

The oyster dressing was delicious. Subtle with a splash of soy. The buttata was over chilled and so didn’t have quite the optimum flavour or texture of a good buttata. The duck ragù had very little flavour and didn’t really resemble duck at all. The...verdura dish of fried brussel sprouts dusted in Parmesan seemed overcooked and reheated. My first glass of Prosecco was flat. It’s not a cheap restaurant by any means. This place used to be better, a shame.More

Wow! This is a great little local that does not disappoint!!! I went with some friends the other night and everyone just loved it. It's one place where you can go to as a group and they do not skimp on portions, quality of food...or service for that matter. I don't eat pastas and gnocchi except here. I will eat their truffle porcini gnocchi. It is to die for. We had 3 large dishes between 8 of us and they were all cleaned up. The porchetta (pork with crackling) delicious, their home made foccacia - wow. The tiramisu is one of the best Ive ever had and the ferrero rocher little "cheesecakes" unreal! Everything is made on the premises. Mostly made for sharing. (Except the gnocchi. Get your own its so good). They even have a beautiful Italian wine selection that's quite reasonable too. The decor is simple and lovely. If you haven't been here, GO!More

Seven of us had the set price menu. Deliciously inventive servings and immaculate service. The entire time at Osteria was delightful. A bit of a hidden charm for this Coogee resident, but I will be singing your praises to all my local friends.

五月份更换菜单之前,主菜中的熟成眼肉做的不错,有熟成后的坚果味。更换菜单之后的烤羊肉和五花肉我觉得更为成功,相比牛肉,羊肉口感更细致而且厨师处理了异味,菜品可以尝到羊肉清甜的香味。烤五花肉相对佐料更多,内部肉质细嫩多汁而且味道丰富。 Before the menu was changed in May, the aged eye meat in the main course was well done, with a nutty taste after aging. After changing the menu, I think the roasted lamb and pork belly are more successful. Compared with beef, lamb has...a more delicate taste and the chef has dealt with the peculiar smell. The dishes can taste the sweet fragrance of lamb. Roasted pork belly has more condiments, and the inner meat is tender, juicy and rich in flavor.More
