About Oster

Inspired by Northern Italian roots, Oster on Bridge Road brings casual, regional osteria-style dining to Richmond. Unfussy local food and wine hosted in a warm neighbourhood eatery await, in rustic surrounds of glowing pendents, a marble bar and exposed brick walls; or take a seat at bifold windows opening streetside and people-watch in this trendy Melbourne suburb. The Chef's tasting menu delivers traditional concepts steeped in slightly radical ideologies, taking diners a little out of their comfort zone, with offerings of scallop crudo, whey, green herb oil, buckweath and salmon caviar. House pasta specialty paccheri and braised pork and beef ragu is a must-try, along with Scotch fillet, roast potatoes, salad and jus; for a sweet finish, opt for a dessert of yoghurt and vanilla mousse.

Best Fusion Italian restaurant in Melbourne
Lovely Italian Fusion Restaurant, amazing selection of Australian Wines made with Italian grapes. Really good lunch deals & stunning chef blind tasting menu for Dinner. The owners Osvaldo & Nicola are professional and fully experienced. It's a cozy restaurant, remember to book your table (there is also an 8 to 10 sit chef's table!) or your place at the "Japanese whisky bar" style counter! Completely suggested ????
