Not Just Dinner. An Experience.

Osteria da Vittorio is a place where time slows down. Behind every dish is a simple philosophy from Chef Marco Bellini: the finest ingredients, classical techniques, and deep respect for the season. Born in Emilia-Romagna and trained in the best kitchens of Bologna and Milan, Marco brought the authentic taste of Italy to London — without compromise.

Our dining room seats just 45 guests. Deliberately. Because the best culinary memories are born in an intimate setting — by candlelight, with a glass of Barolo, and conversation that doesn't need to compete with a crowd.

The Dishes Our Guests Order Again and Again

We don't publish a full menu online. It changes weekly, following the season. Here are the dishes that define our style.

Burrata di Andria

Creamy burrata from Andria served on a carpaccio of ox-heart tomatoes, with olive-leaf basil and a few drops of first-press Sicilian olive oil. Simple. Perfect. Each portion cut tableside.

Pappardelle with Wild Boar Ragù

Wide, silky ribbons of house-made pasta, dressed in a slow-braised wild boar ragù with Sangiovese red wine. A dish that smells like a Tuscan forest after the rain.

Risotto al Tartufo Nero

Acquerello Carnaroli rice, slowly fed with roasted bone broth, finished with Parma butter and a shower of fresh black truffle from Umbria. Every bite is velvet.

Branzino alla Griglia

Whole charcoal-grilled sea bass, served with Pantelleria capers, Taggiasca olives, Amalfi lemon, and rosemary-roasted potatoes. The sea on a plate.

Tagliata di Manzo

Black Angus beef fillet grilled over oak charcoal, thinly sliced and served on a bed of rocket with shavings of 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano and a reduction of Aceto Balsamico di Modena.

Tiramisù della Casa

Our tiramisù is Marco's secret recipe — Savoiardi soaked in espresso from our own machine, bourbon vanilla mascarpone cream, and bitter Piedmont chocolate. Served in a glass vessel, because you deserve the view.
