Big Groups
With skewers starting at $1.20 per stick, it's great fun for big groups because of the excitement of trying different food items. Came at 630pm on a weekday and there was no queue, and despite ordering a ton + beer, each person cost around $20-$25!
Although it's located in Hillview, Italian Osteria was packed despite it being a weekday night. Funnily, the one thing that stood out was how aromatic the olive oil was, and true to Italian cooking, everything waa drenched in this tasty tasty stuff. Also, even non-bread eating people like myself swooned over their loafs, baked in-house - so good we bought some back home!
This place brings back memories of "younger" days where Timbre was THE hippest place to be with live music and their famous duck pizza. Yes, the duck pizza is still there and just as lipsmackingly good, but even on a Saturday night it was a shadow of what it used to be with empty seats and no Live band playing. Still, it's an ideal place for group gatherings when you feel like sharing food and having a communal sit down with your friends.
