Osteria Pizzeria That Makes A Slice Of Happiness

Pizzas have emerged as one of the most popularly ordered foods, as Zomato's food trend report revealed last year. The report stated that approximately 7.45 crore pizza orders were received in 2023. With new players entering the market and offering better and more authentic tastes, the dynamics of the pizza industry could shift towards becoming the number one choice. To explore how these new Italian restaurants are reshaping taste preferences and setting new benchmarks, Osteria - an Authentic Italian Pizzeria - opened its doors in Spectrum Metro Mall, Noida, to deliver fresh and exquisite flavours to the people of Delhi/NCR. This unique venue not only serves authentic Italian cuisine but also acts as a vibrant hub for community and creativity.

The Italian Pizzeria, brought to Noida by two young foodpreneurs, Ashish Saggu, Founder, and Himanshu Bhatia, Co-founder, aims to offer the best taste experience to the NCR populace. Upon entering, the ambience transports you, reminiscent of dining in one of South Delhi's renowned establishments. With its soothing vibes and meticulously designed interiors, it perfectly complements the taste experience, offering simplicity yet sophistication. A standout feature is the provision of complimentary Americano coffee and free Wi-Fi, providing patrons with a cosy work-from-cafe environment coupled with the comforts of home, where they can indulge in savoury delights during lunch hours. The spacious wooden tables, accommodating 10-12 people, invite families and friends to gather and enjoy quality time without the need for extra chairs. "We have focused on combining high-quality food and outstanding service to create a welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels valued," says Saggu.

The wood-fired restaurant boasts a curated menu to ensure the highest quality. The food selection includes exquisite choices perfect for lunch, accompanied by stimulating conversation and coffee. Must-try dishes include the Tomato Basil and Chicken soups, both boasting simplicity and robust flavours. The Mushroom Duple, with its creamy interior and crispy exterior, offers a delightful mushroom experience. Another standout is the Chicken Satay, a convenient yet flavorful dish complemented by a fresh and crunchy salad. "At Osteria, we strive to be known not only for our food but also for our hospitality and service. It's about creating a space where people can enjoy themselves, whether they are dining, working, or participating in community events," adds Bhatia.

Now is the time to savour the authenticity of pizzas. The Farmer's Choice, a freshly hand-tossed pizza loaded with vegetables and fresh cheese, promises a delightful experience. The Barbecue Chicken Pizza, with its subtly sweet barbecue sauce and thin crust, requires no additional condiments. Another highlight is the house speciality, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, a pocket sandwich filled with cheese sauce, buffalo mozzarella, grilled chicken, red peppers, and a hint of black pepper, making it a must-try in the area.

Finally, the desserts from the cafe rival those of famous bakeries in the area. Indulge in the sinful delights of Tiramisu with Love and Banoffee Pie. The Banoffee Pie, featuring layers of creamy caramel, fresh banana, and delectable whipped cream atop a buttery biscuit base, is an absolute delight and a must-try for dessert lovers.
