Overview
Osteria Oggi has firmly established itself as one of Adelaide’s premier dining destinations — a contemporary Italian osteria that champions handmade pasta, bold Mediterranean flavours, and refined yet approachable hospitality. Since opening in 2015, it has earned acclaim for both its food and atmosphere, drawing city workers, food lovers, and visitors to its stylish Pirie Street location.
The restaurant’s name, “Oggi”, meaning “today” in Italian, reflects its modern take on Italian dining — fresh, vibrant, and rooted in seasonal produce. The menu is built around simple, quality ingredients with depth of flavour. You’ll find classics like cacio e pepe, slow-braised lamb shoulder, and house-made gnocchi, alongside more inventive dishes that nod to regional traditions while embracing local Australian fare.
The wine list celebrates Italy and South Australia alike, with a strong focus on small producers and food-friendly varietals. There’s also a full bar offering aperitivos, amaro, and expertly made cocktails — ideal for pre-dinner drinks or pairing with a long, relaxed meal.
Oggi’s interior is as notable as its menu: sleek marble, curved concrete, leather booths, and timber accents create a chic but welcoming space, complete with a stunning underground cellar and private dining room. Whether you’re dining solo at the bar or gathering for a celebration, Oggi’s service is polished, warm, and attentive.
With numerous awards and a loyal following, Osteria Oggi is not just one of Adelaide’s best Italian restaurants — it’s a vibrant CBD institution that captures the spirit of modern Italian dining, right here in South Australia.
