Osteria Centrale

City West & Charlottenburg


This neighbourhood-adored Italian on the quiet end of Bleibtreustrasse lets you dip into a pool of pleasurable classics from around the Boot. Alongside seasonal blackboard specials, the menu is strong on staples such as octopus carpaccio, grilled calamari, truffle pasta and rosemary-scented beef stew. All are creatively perfected and keep regulars coming time and again. Reservations essential.
