The concept of “Osteria” was already known in ancient Rome, under the Latin name of “Enopolium” or “Thermopolium”. This became “Hostària” in the Middle Ages. Curious about our Italian specialties?

The dishes at Osteria Delicati represent the classic Italian cuisine with a modern character, and are prepared with quality products imported directly from Italy: quality pasta, produced according to centuries-old tradition, a rich range of meats from the Umbria region (in the heart of Italy), cheeses from Viterbo based on sheep's milk, extra virgin olive oil of top quality, traditionally prepared Tuscan pâtè with truffle aroma and other typical products of traditional Italian cuisine.

We also offer a careful selection of more than 100 Italian top wines from different regions (Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Prosecco Brut Franciacorta, Amarone, Barolo, Nebbiolo, Cannonau di Sardegna, Morellino di Scansano, Nero D'Avola, Langhe Bianco, Vermentino, Verdicchio, Appassimento, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Montepulciano D'Abruzzo etc), liqueurs and grappas.

The word "Osteria" refers to a place where people can enjoy a nice glass of wine, but also a fine meal: simple, yet authentic Italian dishes. This is the mission of Osteria Delicati: to put real, traditional, Italian cuisine on the map in Ghent.
