Head to Osteria Felice today. It’s a new restaurant already making headlines among connoisseurs of Italian cuisine. The space is huge but that’s not to mean that you’ll get a table easily: Business meetings, friends having lunch, families sharing pizza, clearly word has spread fast since the restaurant’s opening a month ago. Felice means happy in Italian, perfect name for a place with smiling waiters and delighted customers.
We were sat next to the open kitchen, with a handful of menus. The first one shows a beautiful spread of cocktails. You could customize them, choosing your own martini, gin or vodka, as well as the type of martini, flavors and garnishes. It was so much fun.
The set lunch menu is appetizing but we preferred to choose from the A la carte option. Everything on the menu is 200% Italian. Pizzas, pasta, antipasti, burratas of all kinds, tiramisu, panna cotta, all the different regions of Italy are represented, certainly something for everyone. I went for the squid, then the grilled lobster in butter. They were excellent choices. My friend preferred to choose a traditional pizza and it appeared that she wasn’t disappointed judging from the way she cleared her plate. We wanted to be sensible and not have a dessert but we quickly changed our minds and went for the chocolate fondant, which was wonderful, gooey in the center and accompanied by a perfectly made espresso.
Such a pity it was a tad noisy. Next time we will avoid coming when the restaurant is busy.
