Osteria Coogee

When we first walked in, there was a strong and unpleasant smell of fish and rubbish, which isn’t the best first impression. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cancel our booking without being charged $50 (there were 3 of us), so we stayed. That said, once seated, the experience improved significantly. We were warmly greeted by a friendly Kiwi staff member with an incredible smile and great energy. The music was spot on and really set the mood, and the food was genuinely delicious I was impressed by how well everything came together. The drinks were the only letdown. While good Italian wines were used, the cocktails themselves weren’t overly great and didn’t match the rest of the experience. The pricing overall was fair for what we ordered, but next time I’d stick to prosecco. Toilets were clean, staff were lovely throughout, and service was welcoming. Parking is limited due to beachgoers, so I caught an Uber instead. I’d definitely come back for the friendly staff, great food, and excellent music just hoping the drinks and first impression improve next time.

Absolutely loved the food here! The prawn pasta and the gnocchi was soo good! Also the tiramisu is one of the best I’ve tried in ages! Shout out to the lovely Brazilian gentleman, sorry didn’t get his name but the service was impeccable. Would definitely come back here again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We hosted our Christmas party with a group of 12 people and the experience was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable from start to finish, from the warm welcome to the very end of the night. A special mention to Mr. Vini, who was extremely attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for our group. The food was outstanding — I highly recommend the pork belly, incredibly juicy with a crispy skin like I’ve never seen at a restaurant here before. Simply delicious! The drinks were excellent, very well made and full of flavor. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back! 🍽️🍸👏

Had the most amazing experience at Osteria for our lunch Xmas party. The service was amazing and the FOOD - EXCEPTIONAL. I would recommend everyone comes and experiences this restaurant. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much from Your Family Physiotherapy

Lovely Italian just off the main road next to the Coogie Oval. Food solid with good flavours and decent portions, Tuesday and Wednesday pasta and vino for $35 is great value. Great tiramisu!Service can be a little slow when busy and not many staff covering tables but the staff are very cheerful and friendly
