The menu pillars, such as the Crispy Organic Egg and the succulent Pancetta di Maialino CBT, culminate in this meticulous selection process. The heart of Ostaria's culinary repertoire is its meat selection, carefully curated by Christian after a passionate and thorough quest. The relationships forged with Europe's premier ranchers are built on mutual respect and trust, ensuring a consistent offering of exceptional quality. These non-intensive farming meats are a source of pride, brought to perfection in the Josper oven—a harmonious blend of ancestral grilling traditions and contemporary gastronomic flair. Looking ahead, Ostaria aspires to bring these exquisite meats directly to your table, responding to the entreaties of its loyal clientele. This future endeavour is yet another stride in its journey to excel and reciprocate the trust placed in it by its patrons. Crowning the Ostaria experience is a cellar of pronounced character. A treasure trove curated by Simone, an A.I.S. sommelier since 2010, this collection boasts illustrious Nebbioli, Amaroni, Brunelli, and Supertuscans, alongside local gems. Each bottle, from the storied vintages to artisanal finds, invites a voyage of discovery through the terroirs from Champagne's hills to Italy's fertile landscapes. Together, Ostaria is more than a restaurant—it's a narrative woven from the finest threads of culinary mastery, an experience that extends an invitation to partake in a journey of taste, tradition, and the joy of the exceptional.
