Osteria VE

Top choice in Vittoriosa


This lovely restaurant is tucked away down a backstreet in a 17th-century townhouse, and is run by a convivial Venetian pair, doing what Italians do best – simple food made with the best ingredients, with dishes such as beef with rosemary or tagliatelle with sausage and tomato.
