New government guidance means our building is currently closed to the public until 3 December but we hope to be able to welcome you back very soon.

Osteria is a modern Italian restaurant, with spectacular views of the Barbican Lakeside and fountains.

Osteria's menu focuses on simple and generous Italian cooking, with an emphasis on produce and seasonality, paired with reinvented Italian cocktails and regional wines. 

The a la carte menu is available between 12–2.30pm and 7–10.30pm and offers a number of starters, main courses, sides and desserts, making it the ideal business lunch destination at a very affordable price.

A pre-theatre menu is available at £23.50 for two courses or £27.50 for three courses. Available between 4.30–7pm for parties up to 6 people, it has been specially created to offer the widest choice and ensure prompt service, so you can enjoy a relaxing pre-performance meal

In the Aperitivi bar, the cocktail list showcases traditional Italian offerings with a twist, including seven variations of Negroni, Bellini and their signature aperitivo, the 'Mezzoemezzo'. The wine list includes famous Barolos, Supertuscans, and indigenous grape varieties by new generation winemakers from Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia.

Located on the second floor, the restaurant offers diners stunning views of the Barbican's estate.
