The Story of Osteria in Italy

An osteria originated in Italy as a place for serving wine and simple, yet filling dishes of food to its clientele. The dishes are often served to shared tables, encouraging the diners and patrons to share the food, wine or other drinks.

Over time,the traditional Italian Osteria became so much more, expanding their parameters to catering food for patrons after work or those in search of an evening of refreshments.
