Osteria Romana Mother’s Day
£95.00 per person
Multiple dates available
95.00 minimum spending excluding service charge p/person. This Mother’s Day, forget the flowers—give Mamma what she really wants: a plate of handmade pasta just like the ones Roman mothers have been making for centuries! At Osteria Romana, we don’t just celebrate mothers, we serve their recipes. From rich, velvety cacio e pepe to soul-warming saltimbocca, our kitchen is a love letter to the Roman mammas who perfected the art of Italian cooking. With our signature roses cascading from the façade and an atmosphere as welcoming as an Italian family home, Osteria Romana is the perfect place to spoil the leading lady in your life. So, bring Mamma, Nonna, or anyone who deserves to be treated like a queen, and let us handle the cooking—just like a good Roman mamma would. Because let’s be honest—nobody says ‘I love you’ quite like a steaming bowl of pasta. 🍝❤️ 📅 Date: March 30th, 2025

Service was good initially, whereby fresh basil and olive oil were mixed graciously, however served with somewhat stale and cold ciabatta bread. The main grievances were with the excessively salty food which only got worse as the meal progressed and the food became colder. Both myself and my wife could not finish it, and I felt physically sick from the high salt content. We did not get an opportunity to inform the waiters during the meal and no one was present to ask us how the food was. I also placed a request to the waiters that this was our anniversary meal but this was neither recalled nor honored. Overall, very disappointed given the overwhelming positive reception this restaurant has received, simple mistakes such as oversalted food should not be made, and the waiting staff should be more gracious and open in allowing honest feedback to be received. We would not recommend this establishment for any romantic evening - you will be sorely disappointed.

Very tasty food, and good sized portions. We felt a bit like an after thought, despite the restaurant not being overly busy. The staff were friendly but didnt make any particular effort to help us decide what to eat, nor make any suggestions. I wouldnt say we had a bad experience but as it was for my mum's birthday, it didnt feel special and I wouldnt return.

Pasta excellent, one of the best I ever had. Prices high and topped up by a 15% service charge but the restaurant is in Knightsbtidge. Small busy place and booking is essential. Service good . Free bread and olive oil infused wth basil pre dinner and free limoncello and cantuccini to end the meal.
