osteria
Casual Italian eatery
An osteria is a casual Italian eating establishment, simpler than a ristorante and traditionally focused on wine with basic food.
The term suggests a rustic, unpretentious atmosphere: We found a little osteria off the main square where locals gathered for lunch.
In modern usage, especially outside Italy, osteria often appears in restaurant names seeking to evoke old-world authenticity.
