About Osteria Renata

Prahran locals steer their crew to Osteria Renata for sharp Italian cooking and an effortlessly relaxed bistro rhythm. Front-of-house works the room with easy confidence, pouring regional Italian wines and shaking Tommy Margaritas while the kitchen plates distinctive handmade pastas. Regulars point newcomers straight to the honeycomb-shaped radiatori alla vodka and delicate rabbit agnolotti del plin. Larger tables settle into whole market fish paired with pipis and golden hand-cut fries, finishing the spread over warm limoncello syrup cake crowned with ricotta.

  • Artisanal Primi: The kitchen shapes custom pastas in-house, pairing honeycomb-like radiatori with rich vodka sauce and tender rabbit agnolotti with tarragon jus.
  • Shared Secondi: Hearty market fish with pipis, beef specials, and crisp hand-cut fries anchor the savoury menu.
  • Alba Room Celebrations: Secluded dining in the private Alba Room offers dedicated hosting with tailored menus and drinks packages for celebrations.
